'The Bachelorette': DeAnna Explains it All For You
Last week on 'The Bachelorette', DeAnna had the most! dramatic! meltdown! in history! Over absolutely nothing! Shirtlessness ensued! No, not on DeAnna's part. This week, Twilley goes home (hey, a girl can dream, can't she?)
Chris greets the remaining six men in the Outhouse, and we learn that two will be eliminated tonight so that four will be going on hometown dates next week. Your fearless recapper is going to go ahead and nominate Sean along with Twilley to go home this week. DeAnna surprises the guys with a trip to the Parker in Palm Springs, which is probably my favorite hotel in the world, complete with hammocks and croquet grounds. A knock on the door of the men's villa reveals a solo date for Sean: he and DeAnna will be traveling the Palm Spring Aerial Tramway. Afterwards, they dine outdoors while Sean tells DeAnna that his love for her is like a loaded gun. Ohhhhkay. Sounds...quick. He makes a pitch for a hometown date, and she invites him back to her suite for, um, dessert. They lie in a hammock and look up at the stars, and DeAnna pretends she's actually interested in this dude. She kisses him with her eyes open. Enough said.
Next, a date card arrives for Jesse, Jason, Graham and Twilley, making Twilley still the only guy who hasn't gotten a solo date. The four men are warned that they will be having "fun in the sun." DeAnna and Twilley are picked up by helicopter, although the other men have to wait for their ride. However, Twilley has trouble opening the door for his date, and he sits far too close to her, and he gets airsick, and he can't open the door to let her out of the chopper when it lands. Oh, Twilley. Do yourself a favor and go home. The four guys and DeAnna converge in the desert to ride those four-wheel tricycle-type things. Four-wheelers? Twilley completely ignores DeAnna, and you know that girlfriend will not stand for that. Jesse acts like a 14-year-old and does a bunch of wheelies and DeAnna suddenly is very attracted to him. Afterwards, they retire to the pool, and DeAnna pulls Jason aside to ask him what a hometown date with him would be like. DeAnna confessionals that Jason is a "great person," which is what I call my favorite eunuch too! Jesse steals her away and she does that thing where she licks her lips twice and tilts her chin up and closes her eyes and waits. Jesse keeps talking, and she keeps batting her eyelashes pointedly, and nothing. And then Graham steals her away, and she's essentially removing her bikini under her towel. (Jason, possibly the only intuitive guy of the group, points out that the connection she shares with Graham is "different" from the connection she shares with any of the other guys.) At this point - I can't make this up - she is chewing on her lips and running her hands up and down Graham's abs. DeAnna says she turns into a different person around Graham and she does. She really drops her Blanche DuBois and turns into a drunken sorority girl five minutes before last call.
Back at the Parker, Jeremy gets a Frank Sinatra-themed date card. She picks him up in a lovely vintage convertible (boys? help?) and drives him to Frank Sinatra's old house up on a hill in Palm Springs. It's incredibly mod and very cool, and for some reason DeAnna has decided to wear a gold brocade and canary yellow cocktail dress that doesn't even remotely fit her. The two lay down a track of "The Way You Look Tonight" in Sinatra's old recording studio, and they're both completely tone-deaf. He dips her and kisses her, and she's 100% into it. He pulls out the old "you may not be perfect but you're perfect for me" line that every guy hauls out of the mothballs from time to time, and I can't tell if she's buying what he's selling or not. They get into the shallow end of Sinatra's pool and make out.
DeAnna is so incredibly stressed about this rose ceremony that she doesn't even greet the guys at the door, choosing instead to moon over their framed headshots in the Super-Secret Bachelorette Photo Room. Chris tells the guys that DeAnna is so certain of her decisions that she will be foregoing the cocktail party/small-talk portion of the rose ceremony, and going directly to the elimination portion of the proceedings. My choices (if you can remember back that far!) were Sean and Twilley, and I don't see any way around those two; and indeed, it is Sean and Twilley who are sent home.
Next week: hometown dates, and chances are good that Jesse hits the road.
Well, I think those two choices were foregone conclusions. Y'all?
WHY did she keep Twilley for so long???
Sean was WAY TOO MUCH into himself, wasn't he?
Glad to see them both go.
Not Really sure why DeAnna kept Twilly around for so long maybe she saw something genuine under all that Silliness and wanted to see if there was a connection there... or maybe there were just certain people that she felt needed to go home first. Whatever the case she felt last night was the right time.
I also called at the end of the last episode that Twilly and Sean would be the next to go... but in Sean and DeAnnas date she was like oh if I had a rose to give out Sean would def get one. So I thought poor Jesse your going home. You know the whole time her and Jesse were sitting there by the pool I was just like kiss her you fool kiss her... I dont know if I was more embarr***ed for her or him.
But in the end it was in fact Twilly and Sean.
Next weeks episode looks pretty intresting... How freaking cute was it when Jason and Tye ran into eachothers arms then Tye comes on and is like I like DeAnna. If she doesnt pick him shes an idiot... He is amazing, he's a great father (which lets face it girls is what we all should be looking for), he seems to be a very loving person, and he is Hot what more can you ask for.
Jesse Im afaid is never going to make a move and will be stuck in the friend zone forever, Jeremy although he is very cute and sweet he said it himself last night he is a workaholic... and Gram well his mom is going to tell her too he is not mature enough emotionally to have the kind of relationship DeAnna is looking for.
So I'm going to say one of my fav quotes...
Pick Jason, choose Jason, Love Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the final two will be Jeremy and Jason.
From the previews, I think she sends Graham home but then she realizes she may have made a mistake. I hope she picks Jason also. He seems really sincere.
A couple of observations.
1. Deanna is gradually getting rid of all of the big guys. The only ones left now are the thin wiry ones. Does this say something about her type? Also, these guys have great pecs and abs but they are never shown to be working out. You don't get bodies like that by lying around drinking beer.
2. In her interview during the first hour, she made the remark that her favorite would change from one meeting to the next. I was hoping she would say that now she had a better understanding of what Brad went through but it went right over her head.
I agree with your observation I think that she sends Graham home as well...
What difference does it make at this point who DeAnna chooses? She's an airhead, she's shown that.
All her fake 'depth' for the camera is just producer coaching, i.e. her 'remorse' over eliminating Richard and Fred. I guess the producers had to say "Hey dummy, these guys were supposed to be the final two, what ARE you thinking?" Then they had to do damage control, having DeAnna be fake-sincere about how agonizing it was to eliminate them.
Let's see, she's over the moon for the shallowest hardbody in the bunch (Graham) and the blandest hardbody in the bunch (Jeremy). Hmmm, what do these two guys have in common? .
I totally agree that DeAnna is an airhead. And way too full of herself, as well.
The only ending that would make this experience worthwhile would be if whichever guy DeAnna selects in the end declines her invitation, making her 0 for 2 in the Bachelor/ette franchise!
I like the way you think, Fran! Jason is, let's face it, TOO GOOD for this girl.
I actually thought it might be Twilley and Jesse going home (since Jesse didn't kiss Miss Thing), but am glad Sean was sent packing. That film package about him was nauseating!
I actually nodded off, briefly, so thanks for explaining what happened in the helicopter. Good times!
I have to say that although I found Twilley over the top most of the show I thought the way he left was cl***y. If he had been just a little more serious during the show maybe he would have had a shot, at least he knows and likes who he is.
I agree with Jan that the clip of Sean at home was awful, no girl will ever love him as much as he loves himself.
Do these guys think Deanna is planning these dates herself? I think it was Jesse who said "how can we take her to the movies after this?" Just because Deanna says she planned it means nothing especially since she is obviously not paying for it, I could plan an awesome date with ABC's money too.
Don't care who wins, it won't last.
Graham is a control freak. He acts like a baby when he can't get his way....come on, he knew what he was getting into....he is a bad relationship waiting to happen.
