The Bachelorette: Live Blog

Next week

More drama, more ego-crushing Rose Ceremonies, more Twilley!  Will Jeremy keep his alpha dog status?  Will Jason finally let DeAnna know that he has a son?  Will the tension between the suitors explode into violence?  Stop by next week and we can find out together. 

You bring the Diet Pepsi, I'll bring the Red Vines.

Going home

Eric is hitting the road.  He's surprised because guess what?  He's Greek.  We know, dude.  We know.

Chris is "pissed" and doesn't have much to say to DeAnna.

Ryan is hurt.  Hurt that he's going and Twilley is staying, that is.

DeAnna has to take a moment and compose herself - Rose  Ceremonies aren't easy.  We end with the customary toast between the Bachelorette and the remaining twelve suitors. 

Three must leave

DeAnna faces the difficult choice of picking three guys to kick out of the Bachelorette compound.  Jeremy, Paul, and Graham are safe, but there are 9 roses to hand out to the remaining 12 guys.

Ron - safe.  Not sure about him.

Jesse - safe.  I kinda like him now.

Robert - safe.  She doesn't hold his lack of baseball skill against him.

Brian W - safe.  Seems like a decent guy, doesn't he?

Jason - safe.  Dude, when are you going to tell her??

Fred - safe.  The man from Chicago gets a rose.

Sean - safe.  Ninja master Sean lives to fight another day.

Richard - safe.  I thought he'd stick around.

One rose left...

Twilley - safe!  That will make next week more interesting.

Quality time

Jeremy steals her away from DeAnna and gets some smooching and nuzzling while all the other guys seethe.  Did Ryan just call Jeremy a d*%k?  I think he did.

Ron and DeAnna steal away for a talk.  He seems a little too intense and serious, but what do I know?

Time for a macho push-up contest.  Jesse the snowboarder wins and claims some one-on-one time for his prize. 

Jesse seems pretty cool - he talks about his vision of a family and opens up to DeAnna.

The second cocktail party

I love DeAnna's dress, she looks beautiful.  The guys are feeling major jealousy towards Jeremy, but DeAnna makes no apologies.

Twilley steals her away.  He wants DeAnna to "get a case of the Twilleys."  DeAnna admits that having him wait for her when she comes back from a date is creepy.

Ron thinks that Jeremy getting two roses isn't consistent with DeAnna's stated intention of getting to know all the suitors.  He better take it easy, that could backfire on him.

Jeremy gets the rose

DeAnna gives Jeremy rose #2, and the other guys have to watch it on the Jumbotron!  Bitter. 

More one on one time

Eric, go easy on the Greek stuff, man.  She wants to hear something else from you.

Brian W from Texas also gets some face time with DeAnna.  He comes across as sincere and down to earth.

Tommy Lasorda drops some science on DeAnna:  "You got to have vision and intuition."   And pepper spray.  You forgot pepper spray, Tommy.

Jeremy and DeAnna

Jeremy and DeAnna chat in the dugout.  He's a little shy.  DeAnna asks about his parents - both dead, painful memories for him.  DeAnna's mother died when she was young, so she can relate to him.  Jeremy brushes some hair away from her ear in a sweet gesture.

Group date #2

OK, here are the other seven guys on group date #2. 

Is Robert a winker?  I saw him winking in the van.  Too much winking = not a good thing.

Dodger Stadium is the destination, with special guest the legendary Tommy Lasorda.  He gives a little pep talk and hands out jerseys for a home run derby.  All guys love Tommy Lasorda.

Some of the guys are doing good but Robert's lack of skills at bat just inspires swearing and contempt from Tommy.  Jeremy has the Eye of the Tiger - six home runs.  Chris is flailing - and he played minor league ball!  Ouch.  Right in front of Tommy Lasorda, too.  Mortifying.

Twilley ambush!

Twilley's waiting for DeAnna when she gets back because he thinks she got the wrong impression, but he comes across as a little creepy.  Awkward.
