I'm kinda diggin' it that Jesse got the last rose. He's so NOT the logical choice from a number of perspectives, and there's something about that which seems rather refreshing.

I feel for Jason; he seems like a real man and a good dad. But he's gonna have a zillion women beating a path to his door, so no need to put the suit of armor back on.

From DeAnna's perspective, no doubt adventure won out. Plus, it's tough taking on an instant family and she noted that for the record the moment she learned about Ty.

I do wish she would have cut Jason loose BEFORE the final two and especially before he dropped to his knee to propose. That was rather Brad-like no matter how many times she said she wasn't going to put someone through what she'd been through.

I know there will be lots of talk here and elsewhere about having Jason be the next bachelor, just as there has been about Jeremy. But I think they should all move on and find love in a more conventional way. (Please don't even think about putting Ty through a herd of hometown dates with assorted women who may or may not sincerely be interested in Jason!)

And how about some real "reality" here. Going from "Hello, my name is..." to a proposal in six, fantasy lifestyle-infused weeks is not the best setting for a long-term future. Trista and Ryan notwithstanding, the odds are against any relationship from this show succeeding.

Personally, I'm still revolted by UK bachelor Matt's selection of the totally vapid Shayne and from tonight's little "update" it appears they're still together. (Guess the green card and the Lamas family acting connections haven't quite come together for Matt yet . . .) Yuck.

So indeed my cynical, practical side is definitely checking my exhilaration at the oh-so-lovely thought of Jessie and DeAnna being together "forever." Gee, wouldn't it be nice if we could all find our soulmates on TV. (Yeah, and maybe not all guys online work at the Pizza Pit...)

Best wishes to all . . .

iM SO GLAd SHE PiCKEd HiM HE HAS A GREAT SPiRiT...&& N0T S0 MUCH LUGGAGE LyKE THE 0THER MAN WiTH HiS KiD EVEN THO! i FEEL REALLy BAd FOR HiM CUZ HE WAS SWEET...i HOPE HER && JESSE HAVE A GREAT C0UPLE i KNOW i COULD NEVER DO iT KN0WiNG THAT My HEART C0ULd GET BR0KEN && ME && BUNDAGE && A VERy VUNERABLE SPOT! ♥

Agreed with every word.

I totally agree with your cynicism! I watch the bachelor/bachelorette with my mom every Monday night. It's become our weekly date. However, the past has shown that lasting love is rarely found on the show. I've only been in one serious relationship in my life and it took me almost 7 months before I felt like I was in love. And even then, it didn't last forever. How you can know in 6 weeks is beyond even the most sympathetic stretch of the imagination. There's a difference between love and infatuation and I think Deanna is infatuated - and not even with Jessie - but with the ideas of surprise and a fairy tale ending. How can you set a date for a wedding when Jessie has yet to truly answer the question of what he'll do when snowboarding is no longer a career choice, what his plans are for where they will live, how many kids they will have, how they handle their money, and what they really and truly expect out of a marriage beyond disgusting displays of public affection which they seem to be so fond of? My bet - they don't make May 9, 2009 - the alleged date of their wedding.

A child picked a child. And her anger surfaced stabbing the men, men like the man who once burned her.

JASON, JASON, JASON, HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT BACHELOR!!! IF NOT JASON, THEN JEREMY... THEY BOTH APPEAR TO BE TERRIFIC MEN.

After watching last nights final choice, I have determined DeAnna was not telling the truth when she said she was looking for love, wanted to settle
down and have children. Jesse even
told her he wanted to do things fun for
him, not once did he say he would make even one sacrifice of his "fun lifestyle" to support a wife and family.
When she chose the fun lifestyle over
a stable home with a man who really loved her, we all knew she was not the person we thought she was.
Three children by the time she is 30??
Not in Jesse's plans!

It won't last! He is soooooooooo not the real working type.
Hey, get off Matt's case, will you. I mean, are you any better?
Of course, it won't work either, but hey, you started it, with your article.
Enough said----

I do like the idea of jason for the next bachelor - we already love him and want his little heart to feel better. It would be a quick transition though - from broken heart to heartily searching.... So that would certainly be up to him. Sometimes though, the women on the bachelor seem so desperate, I don't want some innane woman to win his heart because the glitz of TV makes her seem sane. So this time... if they are going to feature jason, they really need to screen the women contestants A LOT.

I am in completely shock. Not only DeAnna showed all the time a sparkle in her eyes when sharing time with Jason, is that I never saw the same connection and sparkle with Jesse. DeAnna said yesterday that she didn't know herself the way she thought she did and I really agree with that. I hope that there are not regrets later on. I wish the best to Jason, he deserves the best. He is a lovely-caring gentleman, that has also shown to be a great dad!!!

I was so unimpressed with Shayne last evening. She is so not into Matt. Did you notice the way she was always turning away from him. Too bad.

Honestly, I am so sick of her talking about Brad and what happened with Brad and how she got burned with Brad . . . she obviously never got over Brad and these poor guys are the "transition men." Good luck to Jesse, I think he really loves her.

I THINK IT IS BAD THAT THEY LET JASON THINK THAT HE WAS THE ONE. SHE PICK A CHILD, HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LET GO SOONER. SHE KEPT HIM FROM HIS CHILD. HE REALLY WAS THE ONE FOR HER. BECAUSE HE IS READY FOR CHILDREN AND OTHER THINGS. BUT SHE CHOOSE THE CHILD. SHE WONT HAVE THREE CHILDREN, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE. THEIR SNOWBOARDER IS MORE IMPORTANT. SORRY BUT YOU MADE A BAD CHOOSE. GOOD LUCK JASON SHE DONT DESERVE YOU.

i feel really bad for jason. he put his heart out there for deanna and introducing her to his son was a big step on his part. i liked jason a lot. he was sincere, sweet, and totally in love with her. he was ready to start a life long journey with deanna and be the best man he could for her. jessie doesn't seem ready to do any of that to me. when he walked in to get the ring lastnight, he could barely breath, like he wasn't ready for that step. in my opinion, i really think deanna picked the wrong guy. like everyone else said, once the snowboarding is done, and all the fun is gone, what will happen next? jason had a great head on his shoulders and knew exactly what he wanted and tried his hardest to get it. deanna did burn him like she got burned by brad and that was not fair to jason. i think in the end, jessie and deanna will not make their may 9, 2009 wedding date and she will come to realize that it was not love, it was more of an infatuation with how jessie made her feel rather than a life long partner.

So Deanna changed her mind - she admitted that in the "after the rose" hour, and is it really such an awful thing to be open to something different? Jesse is adorable and seems genuine. Jason never once took any responsibility for any part of his divorce - you don't see any problem with that? He certainly seems like a sweetie - but I'm scared off by people who can't see their part in a breakup. Deanna's gonna have a great time with Jesse - only time will tell if they have what it takes to make it last.

I was so shocked the DeAnna chose Jesse over Jason! OMG! She said she wanted children immediately...then what was the big deal about being thrown into an immediate family? Jason even proved to her that he could be spontaneous and adventuresome. I felt bad for him that on their dates Jesse always got the romantic things to do with her and Jason got the adventurous things to do...still making him prove something...and then she doesn't choose him any way. My prediction is the May wedding with DeAnna and Jesse will never happen and she will wish she had picked Jason! PLEASE let Jason be the next Bachelor! But only allow women to participate who are down to earth looking for a "family life". DeAnna, what were you thinking? You gave up what you wanted for "fun" times and excitment? Give Jason a second thought before it is too late!

Give Jesse a break; there is nothing that says someone has to have their whole life planned out at the age of 26. And even if he did chances are that the plans would change due to unforseen circumstances. As for his career after competitive boarding, I know ski instructors that are over 50 and still love their job (and it IS a job). Besides... all life goals aside he is the most genuine guy to appear on the show since Ryan (of Trista and Ryan). The only thing that concerns me is that Deanna isn't nearly good enough for him. She has way too much of an attitude and seems very self-absorbed.

JASON SHOULD DEFINITELY BE THE NEXT BACHELOR. He is one of the most genuine sweetest man ever. He deserves to find someone who loves him with all her heart.

Although I was routing for Jason, and think that Deanna is a fool for not choosing him; off-camera, we have no idea what kind of plans that Jesse and Deanna have made as far as their finances and living arrangements are concerned. Quite frankly, that is none of our business. And I agree with Jason NOT being the next Bachelor. He will have no problem finding a lady friend now that America has fallen in love with him. I do hope to hear good things from him and hope that whom-ever he finds, she will be a great companion and wonderful helper with his son.

What is an "account executive" anyway? So a guy who sells cell-phones in the mall, a divorced guy with a kid, is more "stable" than a professional snowboarder?

In 20 years, this professional snowboarder will be a better father, husband and provider than the guy whose *sole* goal on the show was to bring home a surrogate "mama" to tend his brood. True love happens, you haters.

Wow- shocker! I really thought she would choose Jason. Jason seemed like the logical choice. However, she looks like she is in love with Jesse more. The good thing is they did start out like friends- so this could last. My husband and I have been together 4 years after dating for one month and engaged for 8 months. SO, don't be surprised if it last between D and Jesse. I wish them the best!

Jason, will you marry me????

well I think ms DeAnna Pappas is no better then any other bachelor she's a big face liar and she showed that on tv last night she show she don't care about other all about DeAnna just like Ryan and Ron said on the Men tell if she wasn't ever in love or loved Jason why in the hell did she keep hm that long she was very wrong I do believe her and Jesse won't last they may get marry but she going to see she picked the wrong one I hope Ellen help Jason someone Jason is right she never look at him like she did Graham or Jesse and Jeremy i could see that on each show and Jason alway said those guys don't have to do anything special Jason put his heart out there and what happen get got hurt big DeAnna you have made me not like the bachelorette show just Matt Grant did with the bachelor you guys are dumb and uncareing good luck but remember you hurt not one but two people Ty and Jason so that mean you don't want kids before you are 30 you just said that bs to be the next bachelorette and you don't care about familyfeeling you just those things Jason was the ticket and you let it go for a dumb looking snowboard I hope he can make love and he jumps went you call and i do hope he's around lot just don't at home in Atlanta or where ever. remember u hurt two not one two.

DeAnna picked the snowboarder who pounded fists with her dad to cap off the conversation in which he grudgingly bestows his paternal blessing. Unfortunately, many in the audience fell in love with the other prince and his young child more than they did his would-be Disney princess. In the end, it seemed very wrong to drag a child through the ups and downs of a romantic comedy, strung along to the very end. As the primary caregiver for his son, Jason spent precious weeks away from him in fruitless pursuit of his princess; it's not the kind of heartwarming Disney ending for which we had hoped.

If she meant everything she said she would have chosen Jason. Way to act like Brad by dragging him on until the end. Where is her respect. He was missing his son like crazy and chose to continue a relationship with her! She has no decency. Jason should be the next bachelor. He was the man who could have given her marriage and 3 children by 30. She is a fool for asking Jesse to give up snow boarding. Who is she to change him. He will continue snow boarding, live with her for a while, and when they GROW APART "like he did with his ex" they will break up. Her choice should have been Jason. He should now have the chance to try and mend his heart. ABC needs to give him the opportunity to be the next bachelor.

Nobody has mentioned the fact that she told Jason on "After the Final Rose" that she knew it was Jesse the morning of the proposal. She's in love "forever," yet she decided that very morning? Also, she told Jesse when she proposed that she had been waiting for a "long time" to tell him she loved him. How long? Since she woke up that morning?

Look, all I have to say is JASON is one 'awesome' guy. I really don't see how Jessie and DeAnna will be good together.
Jason looks to be the all around hometown boy that every girl is looking for...but not her!
Good luck to both Jessie and DeAnna. It's interesting to see how this will turn out.

Well, I'm glad that Jason won out. DeAnna choosing Jesse was the best outcome for Jason although he won't realize it for a while. Any leftovers from Bachelor 11, except for Jenni, are a waste of groceries.

She picked the RIGHT one. Why take on a ready made family? She has no baggage, so why except someone with some?? He was WAY too pushy, and confident, I could easily see him flipping the script after the show. We can't be nieve to appearances. Women always falling for a dream. As far as the job goes, Account Executive??? What type? Not all account exec's have steady decent income. Why not live life to the fullest??? Jesse and DeAnna are equally yolked. Both young and with free spirit. PERFECT. And as far as the next bachelor, please don't set another woman up with a READYMADE family. Jason needs a woman with some AGE. JEREMY should be the next Bachelor.

Well, I was disappointed. I don't normally feel compelled to respond to something like this, but I just could not believe when Jason got out of the first limo. Not so sure that DeAnna is the girl that she said she was or at least not looking for what she said she was. I was shocked that she would have kept him from Ty that long. It was difficult on Jason and Ty.
Jason would be a great bachelor, but as one person noted, not with the typical selection of "girls" - some who are actually sane and want to be there for Jason and Ty. They (the producers) would have to be very, very selective on who they choose to meet him.
Jesse is great - nice, kind and seems very genuine. But all I can say is - foolish girl.

I was really hoping Jason would win it.....and I agree with previous posts that once she chose Jesse I honestly thought ...wow I didnt think that would happen. And as much as she talked badly about Brad for her to say last night "i have the highest compasion for brad now that ive been in his place"....that is horrible.

I've only watched the bachelorette for once or twice and when i watched it, i loved Jesse...i'm SO glad she picked him!

It was quite obvious that based on her body language and her statements (and sometimes contradicting statements) that she had made up her mind after Jeremy left (and whether or not she recognized it or not). To some extent, she did lead someone on, she just didn't know it. She was so sure of her beliefs that she mislead herself. I think when the honeymoon is over and the "adventure" is over, said and done, she will find that it might not be enough and that she may have lost a few good deals. Looks like she wanted her cake and eat it too.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT JEREMY SHOULD BE THE NEXT BACHELOR; HE IS SO TENDER HEARTED. HIS LOVE FOR HIS MOTHER, WHO PASSED AWAY 3 MONTHS AGO, AND I KNOW HOW HIS DEVOTION TO HER CARE AND LOSS HURTS, BUT HE REALLY AND TRULY CARED AND LOVED DEANNA IT WAS GENUINE AND SO REAL. I AM A 54 YEAR-OLD MOTHER, WHO HAS BEEN BLESSED TO BE A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR, AND SURVIVED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THROUGH MY CHEMOTHERAPY BY THE GRACE OF GOD. I JUST LOST MY MOTHER TO CANCER, AND SAW THE LOVE IN THAT YOUNG MAN JEREMY, AS HE TRULY LOVED HIS MOTHER AND TOOK CARE OF HER, AND FINALLY WANTED TO SHARE HIS LIFE WITH DEANNA. I TOO BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT BACHELOR, AS HE DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE; THEN JASON. I WISH DEANNA AND JESSE THE BEST. I TOO AM GREEK, AND BEING A MOTHER AND BEING WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IN MY LIFE, PLEASE GIVE THIS YOUNG MAN ANOTHER CHANCE; THEN JASON. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL. ALICE (APHRODITE) YASAS"

Deanna had two great choices. I think Jesse will make her happy. The thing that is getting lost is that these are two young adults and will need to feel their way. I thought Jason, and Jeremy for that fact where excellent choices and you can see they are beautiful human beings, however Jesse should not get thrown under the bus because of what he does. Is this about love or money? I Jesse and Deanna looked happy and in love, no matter how short the time. I just wish all of them well.

I think it's about time they actually had REAL people on this REALITY show. How about someone who is older than 30, not the movie star good looks type, and maybe with a divorce under their belt? That's the REALITY of single life - not these phonies who just do it for the TV exposure, and then it doesn't last anyway.

It occurred to me that she mentioned (as did her family) that their feelings meant a great deal. So since the family seemed to side more with Jason, and DeAnna kept trying to encourage them otherwise as well as already made up her mind (as did her dad recognized), I guess their thoughts really didn't matter. Such a hypocrite. Good luck.

I am in complete shock and disappointment. I loved Jason from episode one... and if DeAnna really wanted to settle down and have children, she would have, as well. Her sister admitted that DeAnna wasn't ready to settle down. I just wish DeAnna could have admitted that as well. Snowboarding? And poor Ty. What was she thinking??

Last night was really touching. I think DeAnna, made the best choice. Jason, was groovy ~ but, how can he say he has never loved and he was married before? I can really see Jessie and DeAnna together forever, just like DeAnna's grandparents, they were adorable. DeAnna wanted a man and that is what she has a loving, family oriented man. DeAnna is a sweetheart but her dad was not a real warm person, like Jessie's family.

Congrats Jessie and DeAnna

P.S: The ring Jessie picked was BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

Hey Sarah,
I know of a great young, single, Architect in Baltimore who hasn't been taken yet ----- I think he'd make a great Bachelor ---- and his Mom (me) is looking forward to having a daughter-in-law!

Jason should really be the next bachelorette, but i heard on the enternet that someone named Ellen was going to be the next bachelorette, but I think Jason should be it !

P.S. Jason's son is so cute!

Why all the judgement for Jesse? I've been pulling for Jesse for the last four episodes because he is the most real of all the guys. I think he is adorable and love that Deanna does too. Instead of judging him, look him up online and see some of his snowboarding interviews - you'll see he's a great guy with his eye on the future. Obviously, Deanna saw that, too - good for her. I'm happy for them.

Why do you all seem to know so much? There are a lot of behind the scenes that we don't see. She chose to follow her heart, logical or not. Things may work, they may not. They may have worked with Jason or they may have not. Life and love are about taking chances. I wish Jesse, DeAnna, Jason, Ty, and everyone else who put themselves out there the best of luck. Who are we to judge?

She did not want a true family. I think she did lead Jason on. She showed her true colors by keeping Graham for so long. She should have let Jason go before. She can play with her boy toy, but it won't last. Jason may be the lucky one in the end. I would love for him and Jeremy to be on the next Bachelor shows.

i think she should've picked Jason. it was really sad when he was about to purpose to her but then she said "No, I can't"

JASON WAS THE ONE FOR HER. i like Jessie but i dont think he is ready to have kids like DeAnna. =(

C'mon, let's be real here people. Jessie? The snowboarder with no job and no ambitions to what he even wants to do with the rest of his life? Like that will ever last. Now that the fancy house and the fancy cars and fancy trips and an engagement ring which was provided for by the producers has ended the real reality show will begin. And a force fed wedding date taboot....good luck!

I was shocked when she chose Jessie over Jason. When they both met her family it seemed like Jason fit in so much better and that her family liked him so much more. It seemed like everyone in her family (except her sister-in-law) was unsure about Jessie especially her dad. She always said her family's opinion was sooo important too? Did she even talk to Jesse about having children? I don't think they will make it to their wedding date either. I think Jeremy should be the next bachelor though. I think they should ask Jason but do you think he would leave his son for another 6 weeks? Whoever the next bachelor ends up being the show has to find some real women instead of the witchy fake bimbos that they usually have on the show!!!

I couldn't even sleep last night.. I really thought her and Jason were a better match.. but we have to realize that she lived the show, while we were only shown what the editors wanted us to see. I actually thought Gram was the one for her.. like Jason said last night, there was a different look in her eye when she was with him. Anyways, Jason was awesome.. I wish him and Ty only the best!!! And the same for Deanna and Jesse.. they looked very happy last night. Good luck! :)

Don't you just hate it when these reality shows edit to mislead you? BUT, I don't believe for one minute DeAnna's dad is overjoyed with her choice. Then again, I'm pretty sure he's pleased that she won't be moving to Washington. Dad sure chose his words carefully - putting the "blame" on DeAnna. I'm not sure she could marry someone that was better looking than her. Thus Jesse. I don't believe in marrying on looks but Jason and Jeremy had so much more. Jesse doesn't even have a "career" and he's 26 with no intentions of getting one. Jason continued to show that he was caring and an overall gentleman during his final conversation with DeAnna. Some girl is going to be very very lucky one day to settle down with him. DeAnna doesn't deserve him. It just broke my heart to see how disappointed he was. I'll only watch again if Jeremy is the Batchelor. Jason, stay home with Ty and find a great girl in Washington.

Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to theirs as do I. Deanna chose to embrace Jesse, a person who brought spontaneity, no pretense and undoubtedly someone who will bring never a dull moment to her life. The feelings that both of them show for each other is genuine and I for one love to see for lack of a better word " the underdog".win. He is not dissimilar to Ryan - a non nonsense man who has more than proven to be a loving and dedicated husband to Krista. Jason is a great stable person who brings that into a relationship. Deanna chose love. Not stability, not what looked perfect and safe but stepped out to grab what made her heart sing. I respect that. I wish Jason well as rest assured he will undoubtedly meet someone but feel strongly that he should not be the next bachelor. I to would not want to see his son used as a pawn with a parade of women to capture his father's heart. Last word, remember everyone, there is always two bachelors/bachelorettes that have to remain for the final rose. it is part of the rules of the show. Regardless of who it is, we always feel bad for that individual. I am thrilled for Jesse and Deanna .. so refreshing and very much in love. I wish them only the best wishes as without a doubt their life will be an adventure with a foundation of true friendship and admiration for each other..

Last night's show was a huge disappointment. Deanna should not have led Jason on until the last rose and keep him away from his son for that long. All along she said she wanted stability and to have her children by 30. What a joke!! The only 2 words Jesse can articulate is Rad and Your ridiculous .... If they get married and have children he can teach them to shake hands with your knuckles. As for Jason & Jeremy, both guys adorable(with or without children), You two will not be single for long!!

I hope it is real and it lasts, I really do!

That being said, with the "honeymoon trip gift" from the network and "setting May 9th as a wedding date in the Bahamas where we fell in love" and announcing it before all of TV land so early in the game, does anyone else smell a TV wedding, just in time for May ratings?

I am surpiised she chose Jesse. I have been married for 14 years. We have three children we have adopted since birth. Three children are a lot. Stability is very important. I believe Jason was much more marriage material than Jesse. However, it is not our choice or who we think is better for us. She made a choice. Wouldn't be my choice. Jason is ready to settle down and would give D a good lifestyle also. However, what is an execustive accountant? It could just be an impressive name. We don't really know how either of these guys work. She doesn't know Jesse well enough to marry him. Is he willing to work at a marriage or just have fun in life?

She blew it. No wonder relationships fail.This won't last.

Kids are not baggage! They are a precious gift from God! She preached one thing and toatlly did another. Guess she is just another reality tv joke. While she is sitting at home alone maybe she will think about the life she could have had. They do not make car seats for snow boards!! However she let the totally responsible loving dad go. What a fool!

WHAT THE HECK??? DeAnna is alot more stupid than I thought she was. Jason is so much better than jesse!!! Jesse will not last and DeAnna will see that...Jason is the one for her. Dont worry Jason, you will find true love and somebody that is better that DeAnna...DONT GIVE UP you are an amazing man

He should be the next Bachelor...not Jeremy

Everyone keeps saying that D kept Jason from his son. Did it ever occur to you that Jason is the one that kept himself away from his son? How would you feel if D said to Jason, "I can't keep you here even though I am falling in love with you, because you have a child at home". I am sure there would be a riot if D sent Jason off b/c he had a son. Just b/c she didn't pick Jason and his instant son and ex, doesn't mean that D didn't want a family. I think that some viewers degrade her from every single word D said. She is human, and she has the right, like every body else, to love who she wants to love.

If we see her falling in love with the adventurous guy, then we automatically think its just infatuation. Well, maybe it isnt, and viewers can't wrap their minds around the fact that Jesse is the type of person that makes her feel whole.

Should you marry a guy just b/c he is handsome and financially stable and looks good on paper? You guys think so, but I don't.

I say, stop being so critical and be happy for the woman who found her true love.

Hey! I love this - She found her soulmate. Jesse is a genuine and I think they will do great. Let them pave a path together. He seems like he's just an honest guy who doesn't try to put on airs and fit the average mold. Who wouldn't want to be with him? Love it!

I think Deanna has to be the stupidist person in the world. To go against your dad, sister and grandma's choice and think you are going to be happy with someone who does not offer a lot for a future. I have to say after last night, I don't know if I believe in love or the bachelor anymore!!!

I have watched this show for the past 12 seasons, and have never felt the sincerity that I did while watching last night's finale. (Even with Trista and Ryan back then...I do now, however). Colorado men are the most genuine, down to earth men I have ever met. (Yes, I'm from Colorado) Snowboarding is a REAL career here. And who cares what happens after it's over for him? If love is true, then everything else will work itself out. Also, I don't believe DeAnna "strung" Jason along. She had genuine feelings for him and it's part of the show to explore that. Jason knew what he was getting into by agreeing to be a part of the show. I really liked Jason too, but can literally see the love between Jesse and DeAnna. No one knows what happened while the cameras were off. All I have to say, is it's not up to any of us and we shouldn't be angry at DeAnna's choice. She is the one who has chosen to be with Jesse forever. (And she's very lucky, by the way, as he seems like an amazing guy!) I also remember people being skeptical about Trista and Ryan. Well, 10 years and one baby later should prove to people that it IS possible. I hope DeAnna and Jesse televise their May 9 wedding..would love to be a part of that. And from a Crested Butte, CO girl to a Breckenridge Man...Way to go dude..you rock! Treat her well! So Colorado is 2/2 on the Bachelorette. That should say something about the quality of our men. Down to earth, great guys. Congrats D and J!!!!!

I was pulling for Jesse from the second episode (the jacket and sneaks kinda scared me).
I saw something sweet and strong between them, so it is all perception. There is a lot going on when the camera is off and I think we missed a lot. From very early on, DeAnna said that she wanted to have passion with someone. Yes, she wants to have kids, who says Jesse doesn't want the same thing. But I always felt like her #1 goal was to find a partner that she had real passion for and I didn't see that with Jason. He was around for her insecurities because she knew he'd always be around. And yes she crushed him, but those are the rules of the show. Someone had to be runner up and the guys are fully aware of that possibility. I like her with Jesse! I just hope they don't end up on the cover of People, broken up in a week!!

Why so hard on D? That was part of the show, she HAD to lead these guys on. They knew what they were signing up for. I think her position would be tough to be in love with ONE guy, yet have to keep acting for the show.

I do not agree at all with your comment about Shane being a bad pick for Matt. Shane is a girl who has personality and she is a loving and loyal person as she has proved to be in the show and thus far. Chelsea definitely was not the right choice for Matt, she was scatterbrained and annoying; and if anybody is "vapid" it's Chelsea.

I also do not agree with your comment that Jason was the "practical" choice for DeAnna. There is nothing practical about choosing to marry someone who you are not in love with. Jason just did not make DeAnna laugh like Jesse did. You can not manufacture personality, and Jason just did not have much of that.

Jason may be a good guy and whatever but let's face it people, the dude was boring. If they pick that poor sap to be the next Bachelor, it will be like sitting through more boring rendezvous that all Bachelor fans sat through with the boring "Bachelor and a Gentlemen" flop-of-a-guy, Andy Baldwin...blahhch! PASS THE REMOTE!!

I was so upset after the show! I am totally and completely in shock! I cannot believe that Deanna picked Jesse! I think that everyone has come to love Jason! He seems like the "perfect" man. As much as I disagree with Deanna's decision she didn't feel it in her heart. I think she liked the idea of Jason, just like Jerermy. She wanted to feel it and she just didn't. i wish she would have given him the respect she gave Jeremy and let him go sooner. And by letting him get down on one knee, what a "brad" I say give Jason a shot at being the next bachelor! I would love looking at him so more.

DeAnna, you made a big mistake. I don't know why but I knew you were going to pick the snowboarder with the curling top...Big Mistake..it won't last. He didn't even look like he was a match for you. Big Mistake.. The season where the bachlor didn't pick you ....honey be glad that would not have last..I thought he and his twin was a joke. I wish you good luck, you will be looking again for love.

It all seems so scripted - How many times did we hear how the word "awesome"? DeAnna looks awesome, the Bahamas is awesome, Jesse is awesome.... Plus the bachelorette or bachelor can't make any kind of decisive choice early on or there would be no show (no one would be watching if there were no anticipation or mystery) - so it is all staged by the producers and they are forced to act like they can't make up their mind until the last minute. And is it just me, or did Jesse seem not too excited about going to Greece on his honeymoon??

I cannot believe that DeAnna picked Jesse! I was really hoping that she would choose the most handsome and sweetest guy Jason. But I guess she followed her heart and maybe it was too much of a responsibility for her with his son!

Once DeAnna sees that the fun can only last so long and that Jesse is SOOOO not ready to be a husband let alone a father she's going to be crying herself to sleep knowing that she made the wrong decision, she'll be looking jason up in no time!

All of the Jesse critics who think that he is merely a fun loving guy who plays in the snow all day, need to watch the video interviews of him on youtube. In interview 1 they point out that Jesse is quite the entrepreneur...in addition to being a pro snowboarder and instructor, he recently hosted an MTV reality show called "Made" in which he takes a high school sophomore and successfully teaches her how to snowboard, and has several endorsement contracts with board manufacturers and sponsors. He has also been featured in both U.S. and International publications. I would say he is a lot more ambitious that most give him credit for.. Oh yes, they also make mention that he owns two houses in Breckenridge. That doesn't sound to me like a guy who wakes up each morning thinking about nothing else but hopping on his board. Also, give Deanna a little credit. If I made it my business to do a little internet research on this guy, do you not think it might have occurred to Deanna to do the same. I think that both Deanna and Jesse are smarter than some of you think.
By the way, in watching youtube you can see that Jesse has great camera presence. I know he mentioned he might like to be a sports manager or agent, but I think he would make a terrific commentator for competitive snowboarding, so don' t be surprised if you see him in Vancouver in 2010.

who ever thought she would pick jesse? i bet a million bucks they won't last..100% guaranteed..i love jason so much and although i already started hated her when she eliminated jeremy and graham, i wanted to pull her hair off yesterday..i was so pissed after the final rose ceremony..she's not the person i thought she was..and i noticed that she didn't get as many applause yesterday as she did when she was on the bachelor after the final rose..so w.e..i love jesse and jason and i think they're both too good for her..she's so two-faced..UGH!!

She did what she wanted and now she is happy, so get over it. I was routing for Jason too, and now he can go find someone that truly wants HIM, not just the adventure which she decided that she wants. And for all of you who want Jeremy to be the next Bachelor---ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!? Lets just change the name from The Bachelor to The Creeper. He is an absolute freak who clearly defines "stalker." That would be a waste of a show. I wish DeAnna and Jesse all the luck in the world, and I wish Jason even more luck than that.

Jason you are so amazing! You make every women wish their men were a lot like you. You are so genuine and loving, you are going to make someone an incredible husband!

I wish Jessee and Deanna the best. I hope that Jason and Jeremy find the woman that will truly complete them. I think that Jason used his son to further his cause with Deanna and it backfired. He was too sure that she wouldn't send him away. I liked Jesse from the beginning. He was the most real guy there and was always so diplomatic when the other guys would be bitching. The good guys do win out.

Well, my friend Brittany and I watched the last half of this program and I've got to say that it definitely got me hooked.

Did anyone notice that two Bachelorettes picked two men from Colorado - first the firefighter from Aspen for Trista Sutter and now the Breckenridge-based snowboarder for Deanna.

Though I think all the cameras and the fantasy-based dates don't really lead to real love, I think Deanne did follow her heart. Trusting your gut is hard but I think she made the right choice.

I don't question her sincerity. I think she was really there to find the man who best fit her. As she said in the After the Rose special, she went in with a list in her head of what she did and didn't want. She thought she knew herself and then it totally changed as she got to know Jesse, a guy she pegs as not her type. And let me tell you from someone who has experienced several great relationships with men who were not originally my "type" that it is a pleasantly surprising event!

So the final three, who could have judged that it would come down to:

1. Jeremy - he was totally into Deanna from the start. He looked like he had it all...I mean he's amazing gourgeous with that perfectly chiseled body! Thank you ABC for having a pool at the mansion! He was a lawyer, owned a condo with a view of the Austin skyline, was a southern gentlemen and had the cutest boxer ever! I mean, how much better can it get: hot guy, great job, cute dog, owns a house and totally into you? Where did it all go wrong?
Well, I think it was a huge indicator that she kept using the adjective "perfect' for him: he's the perfect guy with the perfect job and the perfect house and the perfect dog. Perhaps he was "too" perfect. I mean in real life, do you want someone so wound tight that he hasn't let anyone in, no other significant others, since his mom died? I mean, losing both parents an in effect becoming an orphan must be one of the most devastating things that can happen to one, but to be so closed off emotionally to never even begin healing. I really do think he genuinely loved Deanne, but her gut told her that a lot of there rapport was based in the shared history of parental loss. There needs to be more there...a connection that apparently wasn't there.
And was anyone else appalled by his brothers and their reception of her visit to his hometown?! I was taken aback by their immediate offensive behavior. Come on guys...lighten up! Your brother really cares about this lady and you're chewing her out on the first meeting? If I was in Deanna's shoes, I would totally have run the other way after that reception? Can you imagine these pair of clowns as brother-in-laws? She would never live down the fact that they met on a TV show, and I don't think they would ever really have a close family connection. And Deanna keeps talking about how much family means to her. I guess she just didn't want to be part of Jeremy's family. They seems so uptight and wound so tight about the loss of family members that they are still in the anger phase of the grief process. It was almost like "How dare you think you can date our brother? You'll never be good enough."

2. Jason - he was Greek and she was Greek. I mean, come on, my fat greek wedding! But seriously, after the glitz and glamour of the whole process, he was very guarded and as someone says, never really explained what his part was in the dissolution of his last marriage. He said she left him, and maybe Deanna didn't want to end up divorced and leaving behind a kid with him. Though I think he makes a cute dad and Ty was sweet, the reality of dating a single dad is no picnic. His family kept saying that Ty was his first priority and it looks like Deanna wanted to be someone's first priority. Maybe, at 26, she realized that she's still young and a kid at heart and she wants to be free and enjoy being married without any brats running around. I mean, seriously, other than jumping into super-serious insta-step mom role, stuck in the state wherever the kid and his mom live because Jason would never want to move away from his kid. No thanks!

3. Jesse - he was the Sleeper bachelor. No one saw it coming but he was the most genuine, real and unique bachelor there. Except for Fred from the double date with the other greasy chef bachelor where she sent them both packing (what a total cutie - Fred, babie, call me!) But maybe Deanna saw another side of herself emerge when she was around him. She said it often enough and obviously she likes what how she felt and what she saw growing. Perhaps life looked really good and fun with a guy like Jesse. One could see that he took romance pretty seriously. He doesn't just fall for any old girl. What really caught my attention was Jesse's home visit. His family was so welcoming. They are a clan that really know how to love...there was a palpable sense of connection and love both coming from the parents to their son and from their son to his parents. They were grateful to have each other. And maybe in the end that is what clinched it for Deanna...
She chose a man who had grown up to know how to love and she felt she deserved that herself. I would think that would be an amazing environment to have a relationship and raise children. Yeah, we all want to know what Jesse will do after he gives up snowboarding but who knows, maybe it could work out...

I have watched some, but not all seasons of this show. This will be my last ~ and not because Deanna chose a snowboarder over a caring Dad, but because the show's whole premise is to entice these people to give up their reservations and lure them into believing they are in love by providing a totally unrealistic setting for that so-called "love". How many times in each episode do they ask - who will be left brokenhearted? That says it all. They are selling us (and I'm NOT proud of having bought it) someone's pain and suffering and calling it entertainment. Watching Jeremy, and then Jason, so obviously in pain makes me feel like a vulture - a dirty creature waiting for another's demise. And to those who argue, yes - these people signed up willingly, but they obviously are unaware of what they are really signing up for.

Jason is a true gem! He's America's and Canada's favorite too. He'll find the love of his life for sure.

I'm glad her choice was Jesse. I could just see the intensity in their eyes when they looked at each other. It was undeniable. How exciting is that! Given time, these two will get beyond the heady, head-in-the-clouds stage, then they will see the idiocyncrasies in each other and whether or not they can put up with their partner's differences. That's as it should be.
Of course, Jason is a great guy, and he will find that lucky woman. He just was not as exciting or alluring to Deanna. So be it.

i thought that jason was the one she was going to love for the rest of her life

I cant believe its jesse big nosed and boring. Jason such a great catch would make anyone soo happy he has what every girl wants. SHe is missing out. What goes around comes around. Jason will find someone so true. I feel sad for him but know someone perfect will love him. he has a great family and beautiful him and his son. Deanna i dont care for anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO GLAD that DeAnna picked Jesse. The history of this show seems to be that most of the couples never last. For that reason, I am glad that Jason and his son, didn't get dragged into a "romance" that isn't going to work. Jason needs to find a real woman who knows what she wants.
For all DeAnna's talk of knowing what she wants, etc that sure didn't seem to be the case. What she wanted changed from week to week. She still seems hung up on Brad, she can't stop talking about him.
I have to wonder how DeAnna felt seeing Jesse near vomitting as he went to buy the ring. Oh well, DeAnna got her 30 minutes of fame, now can we stop seeing this girl?
If I have to hear "I put my whole heart into this...you have no idea how hard this is on me...I have been where you are...Brad...Brad...Brad...Brad...Brad...Brad...Brad...Brad..." again I might scream.
I liked DeAnna in the Bach. with Brad. She was my choice, but in this show she seemed to enjoy the control she had and the attention. One of the guys was right, if a guy wasn't "DeAnna" 24/7 she felt he wasn't being "honest or open". She was most concerned with her own feelings, how hard it was on her...and seemed to be very disrespectful of any pain she caused the men. Her crocodile tears whenever she dumped someone just seemed forced. And she seemed to be unable to let a man get in the limo to leave until she has pushed and pushed to make him hurt and be in pain. She was insistant it was "their" fault they were going, never hers.

Although I am dissappointed that DeAnna didn't pick Jason. We should all have seen it coming. It seems like the most unlikely one to be picked is the one who gets picked on this show. It makes for good television. They have to lead people to think that the bachalor/bachalorette is in love with both candidates to keep the suspense and to keep people watching. What if she or he makes up their mind the first night that they meet the person. They still have to play the part. I'm sure there are a lot of rules that go into this reality show. I still love the show and I wish DeAnna and Jesse all the best. I really do hope they make it and have a beautiful life together.

The bachelor/bachelorette is a great way for someone to find love. I met my husband and we were married 2 months later. We have been married now 9 happy years, so it can happen. I think Jason or Jeremy should be the next bachelor, they both deserve a chance for love.

I hope Jeremy is not a choice for the Bachelor. He appeared stiff & boring. I am happy for Deanna & hope it works out for the best!

Are you kidding me?????
I am so sad for Jason , he opened up his life to Deanna and that alone is the most heartbreaking thing. I hate the fact that she meet his son and now he will be wondering what happen to the nice and pretty lady. However that was a choice that Jason made (may have been a bad one) and I hope he learns from this experience not to introduce your children to a date until it is a more serious relationship.

I wish Deanna the best, but PLEASE
I hope she gets to know what she really wants from life and a mate!! Because I personally do not think she has a GLUE!!

i just finished it on my dvr...oh deanna, what are you thinking? you passed up the man to be with the boy. this is one match that won't last.
i wish nothing but the best to jason! what a quality man!!

Now I am understand why DeAnna was rejected by the previous Bachelor..SHE HAS A BAD TASTE for MEN..How possible she rejected Jason or Jeremy. How did she play with somebody like Jason, a good man with good feelings and a child? How possible she preferred a snowboarder over professional people? Anyway that was her choice, but I don’t think it will last long enough to get married, I am not surprise if I see DeAnna in the next Tila Tequila Season!!!

MISTAKE! Even her father was in shock. She certainly doesn't know what she wants.

I believe that Jason can do much better. DeAnna is attractive but inarticulate, self-opinionated and immature. If she and Jesse stay together, in time I believe he will help her with what is lacking in her personality at present.

I have DVR and this is the first time I have deleted "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" without watching it to the ending. Once DeAnna said no to Jason I had no interest in watching Jesse's proposal. How could she take someone to the final 2 who has a 3 year old child, poor Jason now has to try to explain to Ty where he's been and why DeAnna isn't going to be a part of their lives. How cruel!!! I agree that Jason should be the next Bachelor, that way he can choose.

Yay I am so happy Deanna picked Jesse. He rocks! I think they are going to be together for along time and have beautiful babies together. I married a guy a lot like Jesse and we have been together for 6 years now. I know how Deanna feels when she gravitates towards someone that she wouldn't usually pick. Congrats to them both!

A professional snowboarder can make a six figure income. Jesse, may in fact at age 26 - with 10 years of pro snowboarding behind him, be a millionnaire. If you recall, he showed DeAnna that piece of artwork that was from his own charitable foundation. I do think Jesse was the most "real" guy there. I wish DeAnna had not kept Jason around though, she should have let him go earlier to be with his son.

Deanna proved last night that she is nothing like Brad. At least Brad had the guts to stop the farse before he put a ring on a girl's figure! If Deanna thinks Jesse is mature enough for marriage when he can't even discuss giving up snow boarding to make are real living and support a family, then she is a fool. I am happy for Jason and Jeremy because the dodged the bullet of being tied to the vapid little jerk. Deanna ignored her Dad's warning about Jesse and that someday will be her down fall. Her Dad knows her better than anyone on earth and he knew Jesse was a bad choice for her. I hope Deanna wakes up before the wedding and certainly before she brings kids into that nightmare!

I agree with Linda. Love is a strange thing. I met my husband while on a holiday. I fell for him immediately and six months later moved to be with him. We are married and have three kids. I do think Deanna had strong feelings for several men but I think she appreciated the progression that occurred b/w she and Jesse. He seems very easy going and really into her. Reality TV is weird period. And then the editors can shift things around to try to tell certain side stories. There's a lot that they don't show either. Anyway, it made a good show, otherwise, we wouldn't be here talking about it!!!

Come on guys. Deanna was a great actress. She cried, laughed, acted in love, acted confused...put on every emotion America wanted to see. Even Jeremy came back! I am sure the show called him and told him to do so. They promote this reality brainwashing type of thing. Is this REAL LOVE ? OF COURSE NOT!! Like an above post said...she told Jason she decided that morning! Now how can you decide to spend the rest of your life with someone in one morning. Deanna and her men have been spending time in beautiful places. THey have not experienced any real hardship with one another or any real world stress. To test if a relationship is strong enough for a marriage I do believe you have to endure some kind of hardships in a relationship--or else ..its not healthy. Now..how long was this show? hmm...not sure..but definitely not long enough to TRULY see someone in their element and see who they really are. NO ONE knows who Deanna truly is..not even Deanna..as we have seen....and since Deanna doesn't even know who she is...she should NOT be getting married. But anyway..my real point is ...this is just a show for channel 7 to make money. It is not real. Deanna is great at showing emotions...and that was perfect for this show. Come on...

but I must admit..i fell in love with jason in this show...and i actually think he is a real genuine guy...
Jesse is fun and free-spirited (as many have said) but he just didn't do it for me...and I really have no idea how he did it for Deanna.

Although I was hoping that Deanna chose Jason, now I am just glad that she didn't. How could you not know when you don't love a person. If I recall, he did tell her I love you and she didn't say it back, that should've already told him something. And she said it has nothing to do with Ty, yeah right. JASON DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS GIRL and I'm sure he will. Like he said "3rd times a charm." I wish him all the luck. He seems like a really great, honest, hard working man. I guess she didn't really take into consideration that he has a son and how that would affect the boy if Jason wasn't chosen. SHE DIDN'T TAKE ALL FACTS INTO CONSIDERATION! Let's see how long this couple lasts, she is going to wish she chose Jason. All Jesse seems to care about is his snowboarding, he has nothing else... She'll be the breadmaker of them two.
