Live Blogging The Bachelorette: Right To The Bitter End
Here we go (I’m so excited!).
Meet the family night.
Ooooh. The boys are showing up together! Oh – that’s later.
She’s your “soulmate” – really Jesse?
Jason. The “review”. Nothing new.
Jesse. The Big Watch close up – lol! The “review” – “ridiculous” dude – “DeAnna world!” Nice shot of Jesse’s back again. Yummy. It is really the only part of his body that I find attractive.
Wait…was that just a clothesline commercial? Clotheslines are “in”. WTF?
Georgia! So pretty! “I’m extremely close to my family.” Duh. Um. What happened in the gene pool there? So…is that DeAnna’s real nose? Kinda the whole Jessica/Ashley thing goin’ on. Just saying.
Jason arrives first. Private talk with sis. Hey girl…what’s wrong with asking the financial question with respect to being able to take care of DeAnna? That wouldn’t be an insult. Jason did a good job – lots of eye contact.
Talk with Dad – He asked to propose. He certainly comes across sincere. Dad likes him. Jason has certainly convinced himself that he is in love with DeAnna.
“He’s a gem of a guy.”
“A really good catch.”
Jason and DeAnna are so adorably sweet together.
Jesse. She warns them about him. New hair cut. “Rad”…people still say that? Nervous is cute. Really. Vulnerable. The big watch again! DeAnna really keeps her hands on him. OMG – the tough money question from Dad!
Sis asks DeAnna some tough questions…
Scary Dad – “we’ll come and hunt you down!!” Gah! Poor Jesse!
DeAnna seems a bit disappointed.
She hasn’t made up her mind at this point.
Jason – again with the “dependable and safe”. Dad likes Jason. He does not think Jesse is entirely committed. I could see that in Jesse too. Jesse seems unsure. Scared maybe? A lot of pressure. Is Jesse in “the same place” as DeAnna? I don’t think so – but it is really hard to tell. I guess I worry that DeAnna might pick Jesse just because he is so different from her “type”. You know…to prove that she is capable of being flexible and open-minded. I think it would be a mistake. But there is no doubt that DeAnna really likes Jesse…a lot.
Yaya and Papoo?
Jesse – DeAnna is hanging on to him. Poor guy is a mess. Hello Jason! I think one of Jesse’s eyes is smaller than the other. Jason is pretty cool. How much wider can the boys spread their legs???
The body language is hilarious. Jason working the Auntie. Working the Grandparents. Yaya picks Jason. Jason…they are not that funny.
Poor Jesse with the sister/sister-in-law. They like him. Enough with the fist bumping. Jesse with the Dad – finally asks the right question – for the blessing to propose. Jesse is really working hard for this. God – this is uncomfortable. Yay – he gives his approval! “Keep the hair short.” He sounds like he is ready to accept him as a son-in-law. “Rad.”
God – this is tough.
“…and maybe Jesse gone too.” lol. They are both pissed that the other guy is there, raining on their parade.
Get your hands off Yaya Jason! Sneaky Jesse! Getting the last hug!
The Sis and Sis-in-law pick…Jason and Jesse respectively…DeAnna seems sad that her sister prefers Jason…interesting.
Wait – is Jesse crying??
Crap…ANOTHER commercial.
Jeremy comes back? What? This is allowed?
Bahamas again. Jeremy wants to talk. Jeremy is being so dramatic. Bringing up the dead Mother? Really? Let it go man! Stop making her cry! She’s just not that into you dude. Deal with it. At least she is dead honest. She’s in love with Jason and Jesse – “I guess I just didn’t see it.” He didn’t even consider the possibility that she might be in love with someone other than him? Yeah. You gave him “clarity.”
Jesse date. Where are they off to? Wow! A deserted island! Cool. Hope there’s no tsunami or somethin’. Sharks? Nope. Wait – who’s driving that boat? On the bed…he made a Book of Thoughts? That is SO high school! But I’m impressed. He’s crafty – and scrapbookie. Get that man a glue gun! He has nice hands. What a cutie. He is growing on me. Did I just say that?
Jason date. The bar is pretty high right now. She’s falling in love with him…you mean she’s not in love with him yet? Hmmmm. Scuba diving with sharks. Not very romantic. Stay away from the sting ray…remember Steve.
I guess the sharks wern’t hungry. Not as romantic as Jesse’s date. That’s not fair. Jason’s surprise. OH! Even more crafty! He made a board game!! I’m going to puke! He did NOT come up with that on his own. No Way! “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Wow. That was real. Get a room. He is pretty confident there. That was awesome! I would do him right then and there (sorry honey – don’t read this). I can’t believe she didn’t kick the camera men out. She walked away from that? Sigh. To be young and in love.
Recap – again with the “safe” thing. Again with Jesse being “different and exciting”. Hmmm. He has always always been right by her side.
She has nice boobs.
Ring shopping. Jason want “classic yet modern”. Jesse – picking out the ring. He’s going to barf…that’s not good. He is so nervous. Nice ring though. Good choice. (I’m getting a lttle drunk – on one beer.)
Everyone is primping. Jesse is so emotional! I’m so excited. She is 100% sure.
Now – I really have no idea who she is going to pick. My gut says…Jesse. But I really want her to pick Jason.
So…the person who meets with her first will be the one she says good-bye to? That would make sense but I’m not sure how this game goes.
Uh-oh. Jason is first. Oh no. I can’t watch. But I have to.
“Today is the day that I am going to get engaged.” He’s confident. She stops him before he can even start! Poor Jason. It is the whole “safe” story. She is in love with someone else. So sad. Wow. This is harsh. Big mistake DeAnna. Just a gut feeling. She’s going for the OCD snowboarder. So sad. Redo make-up. He looks totally shocked. “I’m completely shocked.” “She wanted this alternative world.” DeAnna does not want “safe”. I should have known that the “safe” thing was what she was trying to avoid. At least he has his kid.
She is extremely confident about her choice – he will bring excitement. She says he is her soulmate and the man of her dreams. Okay. I can live with this. I cannot believe he came this far. Nice little speech. “Forever.” She has a serious crush I guess. He’s either really happy or he’s pooping his pants. She loves him. Awwww. I guess I’m happy. There were lots of signs that it was going to go this way.
Now we will see if this lasts hmmm?
Oh – an after show. After the Final Rose. Cool.
Jason has to be grilled. He looks…bitter. A little sad. The ring was pretty. Must be hard for him to watch the recap. “She’s one in a million.” The chicks in the audience are empathetic.
DeAnna ready for Jason. DeAnna cries. This is a really mean show. “When did you know?” “When did you pick Jesse?” That morning. Really? Interesting body language. Her decision was not related to the kid. He made her feel safe. Yeah. We get that. You didn’t want “safe”. She has more compassion for Brad. Interesting. I wish I had seen that show with Brad. Graham does not compare…interesting. She did not love Jason. Harsh. I’m glad she picked someone she was in love with. He’s happy for her. What a man. He says Jesse is a fantastic guy. The crowd loves Jason.
Who the hell are Matt and Shane? Oh yeah…they were in The Bachelor? I hated them. OMG. Shane has got to be the fakest (is that a word?) person I have ever watched. Cover up your boobs girl. They are not planning a wedding – surprise. They are not going to stay together. You can see the disconnect there.
Now – back to DeAnna. Lotta girls in the audience. She’s quite happy with the ring. She’s in love and engaged. Woohoo. “I could not live without him.” Interesting. Um. You’re not married yet lady…
Okay. Jesse does a mini Cruise on the couch. Stop it. Sit down. Stop. It. Stop. It. Really.
Oh – that is when he cried. He was crying because he was afraid she was going to say no. Wow. She has really white teeth. I must say they are so much more of a real couple than the plastic Shane and Matt. Stop. It. You. Two. DeAnna’s Dad knew. I’m not surprised and I believe it.
They have set a wedding date. Big Greek wedding. The Bahamas. That would be nice. She thanks Brad. “I’m the happiest woman in the world.” Honeymoon…to Greece! Fantastic. I cannot wait until they have kids!

Ha- that’s funny- I enjoyed reading your take – I did the same thing- writing as I’m watching. It helps me feel a little less shameful about watching. Though I guess it actually ups the lame factor quite a bit- but oh well- its nice to share. I think we had slightly different takes- I was late to shine on Jesse but I think she made the right pick (for now)- who knows about forever.
Jason was just cartoonishly excited and eager and just THAT guy- he should have his balls revoked for making that board game.
Oh- here’s a cool video of a snowboarder that helped me get on board w/the whole Jesse thing:

Nice huh? I think she can fix him up real nice- the epitome of CUTE- I hope we don’t have to watch their wedding though- pls take your 15 minutes and go right?.
I’m trying to cut back on my reality TV viewing- for obvious reasons.
