Graham - Raleigh, NC
We're heading south to Raleigh to see Graham's 'hood. She 's super huggy and excited to see him. They play a game of one-on-one in the high school gym where Graham grew up.
Although this is where he grew up, Graham doesn't live in Raleigh anymore. His folks are still in town, and Graham assures her that they'll love her. He's really chatty and at ease with her when he doesn't have a bunch of other guys to stress him out.


if he doesn't go home tonight, i'll go crazy. they are not right together and she's only keeping him around so she can kiss him.

What team does Graham play for?

It is going to be too bad when she dumps Graham, the guy she has fallen for, for a guy she really doesn't care about but will fall for her. How will it be for the guy that she picks when he sees that she is actually in love with someone else. Perhaps Deanna isn't right for these shows because she is incapable of picking Mr. Right and letting nature take its course. In reality, she doesn't HAVE to marry one of these guys but it seems like she is desperate to hook up. She should be more concerned with making the best decision for the long run of her life rather than picking a guy who will fall for her. No way she is actually interested in Jessy or Jason. No way.

Do we think Graham went on the show to be picked as the next Bachelor or is he just not into Deanna despite that he insinuates that he is??

I don't know what she sees in Graham. He's everything she says she doesn't want. She is most attracted to the guy who won't open up to her. Typical female who says she wants a nice guy, but goes for the jerk and then wonders why she gets hurt. She should have dumped him a long time ago.

I don't think Graham is a jerk... .I think he is a nice guy but he might not be a guy that is good for a "romantic" TV show. I get he is better in person - one on one.

Good Lord... I can't believe she kept Jessy.
Posted by: xXxLostxXx | June 23, 2008 at 06:52 PM
OH MY!
Posted by: xXxLostxXx | June 23, 2008 at 06:52 PM
UH Oh... she made the wrong decision yet again. Bad move.

What a joke that this guy's parents set up a high school shrine of his accomplishments. What next, how many milks he can stock in a 7-11?

graham is so hot... some guys just have a hard time opening up and it does not hurt that it is tv

This girl is crazy!! i can't believe she let Graham go, He's the only one u can see a genuine connection to.
Posted by: nickkyz | June 23, 2008 at 07:18 PM
She definately made the right decision. Who wants to be married to someone who can't communicate his feeling. That is sure disaster! On top of that, Graham's mother was honest about him not having lasting relationships! If Deanna had kept him I would have wonder if she needed psychiatric help.

again graham is so hot.... plus how long have these guys had with her.... and how long have they had to really fall in love with her..... some guys are looking at the outside and hoping that the inside looks as good as the outside,, lust is something i see here.... not love... why do you think that all these bachelor // bachelorette stories never last!!! so far they is only one trish and ryan.... and i am sure that took the time to see the inside and outside of each other..
Posted by: kimmy | June 23, 2008 at 07:26 PM
It is sooo sad that Graham did'nt open up. I was very upset that she let him go. I could feel what she was feeling and it is obvious that she has some strong connection to him.
He is so totally hot. He could have been Mr. Right but needed more time to open up.

What a dumbass. Thank u deanna. Now the rest of us "normal" gals havens chance. Graham should be the next bachelor. You learned nothing from brad.
Posted by: | June 23, 2008 at 07:29 PM
I think Graham should of stayed he was falling in love with her but he wears his heart on his sleeve he doen not wnat to be hurt,
She will regret her decision because Jessie should of went home I dont know what see sees in him. She wont pick anyone see will go find Graham.

Can someone please give me a number for that beautiful hunk of a man Graham.
Honey, I'm out here in the caribbean - come on down....
Posted by: Lena | June 23, 2008 at 07:48 PM
I don't think Graham is a jerk, he just couldn't open up the way Deanna wanted him to, but she should have understood that. I remember when she was with Brad she had mentioned it was hard for her to open up. A little hypocritical don't you think? She should have benn more understanding. I think Graham really cared for her and was falling for Deanna as well. You don't feel those feelings Deanna was having Graham with any person and she was definitely feeling them with Graham. I don't know how she can go with one of the other guys.

Deanna is crazy for Graham & I think she is going to not pick any of them where he will be the one she goes after or he will be brought back when you least expect it & she will end up with him. After all he did write her a letter which was genuine showing her he took the time to express perhaps what is hard for him to open up on television & all let alone he is just as scared as she is! They are meant to be together!

She blew it.. plain and simple. He is shy and unassuming which does not mean he isn't confident and mature. His shrine was also from college and professional basketball, so I wish the person that is cutting him down for that would get a grip. Should the Mom have toned it down, sure... but he isn't responsible for what his Mom does. Judgments like that absolutely make me want to run screaming through the streets.
Fact is that he is the guy she is most attracted to and the reason no other relationship will work for her. There is absolutely no way she is going to keep Jessy or Jason... she should have cut either of them loose and kept Graham until she had time to get to know him better. She wants to be in love more than she wants to make a good decision.
To the person that would have questioned her sanity for keeping Graham, I question it for her not keeping him. Graham is hot and he is a gentleman. Just because he doesn't slobber all over her does not make him a bad person or bad candidate.
Fact is, Graham can do better than her... she isn't anything to write home about and she falls for loser guys (Brad) far too easily. Time for Graham to move on and her to get a clue.

Some people are saying that Deanna is just all into Graham because of the sexual attraction. I don't think that's the case. Look at how "attracted" Jason and Jeremy are to DeAnna, and because they are saying the right things, we excuse them. When really, isn't it more like Jason and Jeremy feel about DeAnna the same way Deanna feels about Graham? They are "So Into" her--ok, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she's freaking gorgeous in every way? If they can fall fast for D and we believe it, why can't D fall fast for G, and us believe it?
