Amid much secrecy and behind several layers of closed doors, DeAnna Pappas dropped by TVGuide.com on Monday not to merely preview The Bachelorette's finale, but to actually discuss, in detail, who she chose and why, as well as those she didn't choose, and why.
What led her to pick Jesse? Does she share any viewers' concerns about his ability to give her what she needs? Did Jason's son factor into her decision? And who was harder for her to send home, Graham or Jeremy? Check out the video Q&A. — Matt Mitovich
I realize we're subjected to the "edit" of the show, but in my opinion, she's an idiot. If she was truly that undecided right up until the morning of the FRC, there's no way a decision should be made either way. At least not a marriage decision.
I could see that she really loved Jesse. I would have picked Jason but thats me, she picked the one she really loved. It is so nice to see two people so much in love. I hope they give Jason a chance to be the next bachelor he deserves it and a chance to meet the woman of his dreams.
I didn't watch "the Bachelorette," but liked DeAnna (my wife's name ) during "the Bachelor." Hopefully everything will work out to her satisfaction. I probably would not be one of the people who would watch a televised marriage on ABC. I thought that the wedding with Ryan/Trista (I hope that's the correct names) was too hokey.
I am SO happy for them both. Now they just need to concentrate on staying grounded and focus on each other. I really think this could be a marriage that lasts! I'd picked him from the start for her. They'll bring out the best in each other.
Although I wanted her to pick Jason too, I sometimes questioned his sincerity when he told her he loved her. After listening to her talk about Jessie, I think she made the right choice.
I hope that Jason is the next bachelor. That would be great!
How obvious is the love with the way they looked at each other during the After the Rose show! Awesome! I truly believe you can "know" when you have found your soulmate. I met my husband and married him 6 months later. We've been HAPPILY married for 15 years!
I wish DeAnna and Jesse all the happiness in the world. This certainly makes me wanna plan a vacation to the Bahamas next May and hopefully be a sidelines guess at the nuptials!
And... next Winter I'll be scoping them out in Breck! (no I'm not a stalker--just know happiness when I see it!)
As for the other guys, I believe you can have feelings for more than one person at a time. Love grows differently in each relationship. And I do think she had feelings for Jason and even Jeremy and maybe Graham but with Jesse you could see the friendship build up first before getting to the romantic stuff and I think that is what their relationship is going to be based on. As long as they trust in the friendship and build on it from there, we might seem them on the 50th anniversary show!
Good luck to DeAnna and Jesse. And If you have an extra seat at the wedding, I'd love to be there (hint, hint ABC!!)
I hate the fact that she picked Jesse. She claimed to have wanted security, stability and to start an immediate family & somehow I don't know if she'll get that with Jesse. He's 26 & a pro-skateboarder, how stable is that? When her father asked him what will he do when he gets older and cannot skateboard, I don't remember hearing a response. It could just have been edited that way, however that is cause for consideration as well as should he break something. And who would want to live in a home with all those snowboards on the wall. Can you say RE-DECORATE! Also, when Jesse took her home to meet his parents and he was in the bathroom speaking with his father telling him he didn't know if he could think about settling down now, etc. What made him change his mind in the space of a couple of weeks? I think he's caught up in the hype of this situation and hasn't really thought about what the future will hold for him & DeAnna. Also, as much as I loved Jason and picked him for her from their first one-on-one date, I don't think he should be the next bachelor. As a responsible parent, I don't think he should expose his son to this genre. Meeting one woman is ok, but he would have two different women meeting the family and confusing the child. If we should pick the next bachelor, then let's pick Jeremy. He's a good guy and really does deserve someone to love him unconditionally, insecurities and all.
Although I really loved Jason, she did make the right choice for her. I just really want Jason to be the next Bachelor. He is such an awesome dad and a great guy.
After watching this video and the broadcast last night, I'm not so sure that the right choice was made. Jesse really does seem to be a truly nice guy, however his age, inexperience, and occupation don't seem to be a good fit for what DeAnna was searching for. She made her wishes very clear not only for this show but also when she was one of the bachelorettes on the bachelor and was rejected. She swore up and down that she was in love then, and she swears now that she is in love with Jesse. I hope it works out for her. Life is hard enough, but to be in the scrutiny of the public eye is so difficult, that I personally think that they will have a hard time living up to everyone's expectations.
I'm pissed! DeAnna should have picked Jason. I melted when she visited Jason and his family. They would have made a perfect couple. I hope it doesn't work out between her and Jesse. She made a stupid mistake! If DeAnna don't want him and if he's still lookin', I'll take him. Holler at me, Jason! I'm here for you, cry on my shoulder...
