Wow, did anybody else think Deanna was a tad, umm, to be pg-13, 'witchy' on the men tell all episode? The comment she made to jeremy was HARSH about how after she spent the night with the others she realized she didn't love him and then telling graham that she definitely doesn't regret her decision now. I think she could've worded the things she wanted to say a little bit nicer, especially since "she's been through what all of these guys are going through before". I'm not a big fan of 'blinky', but after this episode i'm even less of one!

She was harsh or brutally honest with the other women when she was on The Bachelor. She is an attractive woman but I was surprised that they chose her to be the Bachelorette.

I don't think she was harsh at all. I think she's in her mid twenties, looking for love, and is ready to settle down.

After her experience with Brad, she probably had a good long look inside herself and decided that if she is going to find 'the one' then she has to take the bull by the horns and really be honest with herself....and the guys who were vying for her love and affections. I say, if you want the grown up life, then you'd better be ready for the grown up lumps.

I'm quite sure she had strong feelings for Jeremy, but DeAnna had to take all her feelings for the three remaining guys and measure them against her own heart. Jeremy was hurt deeply by D's "rejection" of him and that's why the comment affected him so much.

As far as Graham is concerned, I personally believe they were doomed from the start regardless of their obvious lust for each other. Graham was hot enough to ignite that spark in DeAnna's heart, but wasn't hot enough to keep it burning for a forever kind of love. He can't be offended at her attitude at the MTA, cause he hung right there with her on snark, hurt feelings, and cheap shots.

It's not DeAnna's job to coddle the guys and make them feel all warm and fuzzy, nor is it her job to make the audience adore her. I think she 'played' a great game. She was brutally honest, but not a witch, as you stated. However, we all have our own opinions, that's what makes these message boards so much fun.

Scooping stars with Sharnina

I couldnt agree with you more Asrai!! I personally thought that Jeremy was still very emotional about it, and that he wanted some sort of explaination from her. He asked, he got it. She wanted an explaination from Brad when he rejected her, and I think she got one when she asked, but it was very vague in my opinion and I highly doubt she really got 'closure' from it. I think what Jeremy wanted was some sort of closure, and I think she gave it to him. Its better to just be quick, to the point, and honest about her feelings which is exactly what she did.

As for Graham, he was such a jerk to her on the show. He was throwing potshots out there at her. I thought this group of guys was awful, every single one of them with the exception of Jason, Jeremy, and the atty named Fred I think it was. The rest of them sat there hounding on Jeremy, and they were pretty rotten to him during the whole thing which in my opinion makes them all a bunch of scumbags. And they didnt just attack Jeremy, they attacked Deanna too. Thats not what the show is supposed to be about. That Ryan and Ron are a piece of work!!!

Jason, Jeremy, and Fred though, they seemed to be the nicest guys out there, and I wish them well. They seem like true gentlemen. I'm hoping Fred will be the next bachelor, or that he really does go out with that gal from the audience! Wouldnt that be cool??

Glad to see Dee is happy, and engaged!!!

IMHO, I think any relationship Deanna has with Jason or Jesse has a shelf life similar to past Bachelors/Bachelorettes. Okay she says she and her choice are engaged and very happy but we've seen that before, both good and bad. Obviously the best is Trista and Ryan (Max too).On the flip side, most couples broke up with weeks of the finale or at most a couple of years without going beyond the engagement. I see Deanna falling into this boat with the choices she made.
IMHO, Jeremy could have made her happy if she wasn't so scared. She basically said she didn't want to confuse the bond they shared with love. But did she really give it a chance? To me they
had the best chance at love, given the chance.
On the other hand, she may truly be in love with Jesse or Jason.
But I wonder how much of her bond with Jason has to do with Ty?
Also with either of these guys if it fails she won't have to accept any blame for the failure, she can say if it's Jason that trying to be Ty's stepmom was harder than she thought. Or with Jesse,she wanted a bit more settled life than he could follow thru on.
I guess we just have to watch and see.

I'm curious if anyone from any of the past shows have made contact with any of those that they rejected before the end - after their final choice didn't work out.

Might Deanna contact Graham or Jeremy in the next few years if Jason or Jesse don't make her happy?

I had another thought too.
Deanna seemed all "it's all about me" it's "me that wants to find a mate and be happy".
Uh, it takes 2? Isn't it fair that the guy be happy too?

Snidget put me on the cover!
