The Bachelorette: Live Blog

A look at Jason and Jesse

Next week, it's coming down to the last two guys:  Jesse the laid-back snowboarder from Colorado, or Jason the sensitive single dad from Seattle?  They're both falling in love with her.

I like how Jesse calls her "Dee."  He's totally up for marrying her.  But so is Jason, he thinks she can complete his family and is ready to go.

Next week - the season finale of The Bachelorette.  Both Jesse and Jason visit DeAnna's parents - but at the same time???  Awkward.  It looks like Jesse gets a haircut as well - but will it be enough? 

Come on back next week and we can find out who makes it together.  See you then!

Craziness

Here's a video retrospective of some of the lighter moments.  We get a look at DeAnna's mangled grammar, Greg's infamous shirt-shredding, moon-howling exit interview, and the Socratic wisdom of Ron the Barber. 

And even Chris Harrison dogpiles on Karate Sean's mullet.  "Do you think he was in the Cobra Kai dojo in Karate Kid?"

More DeAnna in the Hot Seat

We look back at the day that DeAnna kind of freaked out at the barbecue.  She says that she wanted the guys to pay more attention to her and be more emotionally invested in the whole thing.

Ryan takes issue with DeAnna's take on the whole thing and gets a little huffy.

Who snuck into DeAnna's room?

An audience member asks if DeAnna ever hooked up with any of the guys staying in Bachelorette Manor. 

Apparently Jeremy snuck into her room one night for a kiss, and Paul the Canadian had a bubble bath in her suite while she was gone.  That's a little creepy.  At least he stayed out of her underwear drawer... one hopes.

DeAnna's turn in the Hot Seat

Jeez, I'd be nervous if I were her.  She gets a standing O.

DeAnna says that she hopes the guys still respect her and she knows how hard it was because she's been there.

Jeremy asks, "When did you know that I was not the one for you?"  She says that she made the decision on Grand Bahama Island when she realized she was falling in love with Jesse and Jason.

DeAnna says that releasing Graham was the hardest thing she's done.  She kind of butts head with Graham a little - she didn't buy his explanation about what happened.  He's coming off as a little flippant and defensive, and DeAnna kind of bristles.

"You are pissed," Chris observes.  Very true, Chris.

What was in the letter?

An audience member asks Graham what was in that letter he gave DeAnna when he was sent home.  He's kind of evasive and just says that he wrote down his true feelings and that DeAnna was probably touched by what he said. 

Graham in the Hot Seat

Here's Graham, who is clearly a crowd favorite, judging by the catcalls.  "It's like a construction site in here," Chris Harrison says.

Here's a video retrospective of the steamy and contentious relationship between DeAnna and Graham.  There's bonus Limo Ride of Shame interview footage of Graham as well.

Chris grills Graham about why he couldn't open up more.  The psychic, Ellen DeGeneres, and even Graham's mom said that he was scared of or unable to commit or open up.  Graham feels like he didn't get enough credit for the opening up that he did, and that he's more of an actions-not-words kind of guy, unlike the other guys.

More Jeremy in the Hot Seat

Now we're focusing on Jeremy's chemistry with DeAnna, which started off great but totally did a crash and burn on Grand Bahama Island.  I'm still tripping out that she picked Jesse over Jeremy.  I mean, I think it was a good choice, but I really thought he was going to be in the final two.

We review footage of the relationship and its demise.  Jeremy says he was shocked by what happened in the Bahamas and is still dwelling on it.  He says getting in the limo was the hardest thing he's had to do in his life.  He had to have the driver stop the limo because "I didn't want to go away."  I thought for a moment that he was pulling the car over to throw up, but no.

Jeremy was totally in love with her and still gets that kick in the gut feeling when he thinks of the whole thing. 

Next up, Graham on the Hot Seat. 

Jeremy on the Hot Seat

Chris puts the group outcast Jeremy on the Hot Seat and asks him about his somewhat - OK, really antagonistic relationship with just about everybody except Luke the oyster farmer.  Everybody seems to think that Jeremy should have been more friendly and less competetive and condescending. 

Ron thought Jeremy lacked some social skill about group dynamics.  The crowd thinks Ron was just jealous.  Oh, snap.

The Men Tell All

Here we go, now we're going to get some dirt on what the scorned guys.

Chris throws some questions at the guys.  They all admit to being nervous and tongue tied. 

We get a look at some of the er, cattiness between the guys.  Everybody hated Jeremy, apparently.  Ron thought he lacked integrity, Robert gave him the nickname "Captain D-Bag" and thought he was like the yuppie killer in American Psycho, Ryan thought he was a **** and even Twilley didn't like him.   

Man, if Twilley didn't like him he must have been doing something wrong.
