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.

What i think about last night is that Deanna chose the wrong man, i believe she should of chose Jason regardless of the fact he has a son. Jason was the right person for her but she wanted a snowborder punk, with no good looks, over a man who had it all.

Well I must say I have watched the show several times but have never felt so saddened for two awesome guys, Jeremy and Jason. I don't feel that ABC really betrayed the true DeAnna. She is not at all who they made her out to be. I have no problems with Jesse I'm sure he is a great guy but from everything she said she was looking for he did not fit the bill. I cried many tears for Jeremy and Jason they are truly 2 incredible men and would love to see either of them as the next Bachelor. I would also like for DeAnna to realize that she broke both of their hearts far more than hers was EVER broken. She made Brad look like an ammeteur. What I hate most is that she led Jason on way too long and kept him away from Ty. That was just cold.

Yahoo! I am so glad DeAnna saw through Jason. He gave me the CREEPS! Very fake and said what he thought he was supposed to say - yuk. Jesse is so sincere and sensitive. Only she can know who touches her heart and connects with her. Jason looks like a stalker and someone who would lash out at you if he couldn't control you - no thanks!

They have as much chance as any couple and physical chemistry can really keep people connected emotionally. I believe in DeAnna and Jesse.

hello, graham... i need graham crackers baby!

Jesse is the best choice for her. He has a great heart and is financially stable and they look truly in love. I wish them the best.

DeAnna let two very good men slip right through her fingers...I was just stunned! I'm glad Jeremy came back in the last episode to let her know she'd made a big mistake. He is a charm of a guy and so is Jason.

Reasons I Don't Like Deanna:
-Lead Jason on like crazy
-Kept Jason on despite the fact that he had Ty at home waiting for his dad!!!
-Said she didn't want to be like Brad but acted very much like him in so many ways (hypocrit!)
-Had Jason kneel down on his knees to propose when she knew all along she wasn't going to accept
-Obviously doesn't care about what her family wants for her (her dad and sister both thought Jason would be better for her... wisely)
-she's SO damn emotional! why does she cry ALL THE TIME!? figures she picked Jesse with her adolescent like emotions. when the glitz of TV has gone and it's just her and Jesse living the real life, she'll come to realize he's not ready for a family or a girl to settle down with. He's obviously into his snowboarding and having his FUN at this point in his life (can't blame him considering he's only 26 and we all know guys mature about 5 years slower than girls)

The way she was so grossly into him on After the Final Rose turned me off so much. Jesse seemed to be out of love already. She seemed to be initiating all the kisses, hugs, and she even announced the date of their wedding (which will be interesting to see if it actually happens) while he looked AFRAID!

By the way, what were his plans after the snowboarding thing wasn't going to work for him? Did he answer that questions?

Everybody just calm down.............
It is very obvious that Jesse is living in the moment and Miss "D" is in for a big heart break. This women requires alot of attention so Jason would not of worked for her either. She was very attracted to Jesse and his sporty like attitude but I see major competition ahead and they will be butting heads in know time. I give it 6-9 months. I just don't see the true love in Jesse's eyes. I'm not sure if he is ready for this women that expects 3 kids before 30 YIKES that is alot of work.
Jesse will end up putting that snow board away really quick cause 3 kids requires a full time safe job and home with the wife and little ones. As for Jason you are off the hook for now cause she would of just wore you out with give me attention ME, ME, ME
your son needs your full attention until he is 18 SORRY!

Jason,

You were the best guy for it!!! Im a single parent to, MARRY ME!!!

I think Deanna is fake, I think she is stupid, she is mean (worse then Brad ever was) I think it is wrong the way she had that big fake smile on her face when Jason got out of the limo, then allowed him to get down on his knee!! [expletive]!! I think she totally made the wrong choice and it is just a matter of time before it all goes sour! In my opinion she did Jason a favor! He needs a real women who is sincere and not just on the rebound! Good Luck to him, I know he has a lot to offer and he will find a woman who truly loves him and his adorable son!! It's just a matter of time before the "fun" wears off with Jesse!! And seriously, who can look at that ugly face and big nose for that long...?? YUCK! Her family even liked Jason better! DUMB MOVE DEANNA!!

How dare you call anyones child "baggage" or "brood". Obviousley you are young and immature

I'm really surprised at the fact that no one has gone postal on anyone on that show.
Did she ever apologise to Jason, for getting him on his knee, and then telling him no. Good gawd, what was that about. That was about as hurtful, and humiliating as you can get isn't it? Well, in my opinion she's the one that should be humiliated.

I have watched this show since it first aired. I'm a 58 year old mother of 4 and I can absolutley say that Jason Mesnick was the classiest bachelor you have ever had on the show. I would love to see him as the next Bachelor and find him 25 nice Jewish girls so he can meet someone who he can totally relate too and has the same background as him.

I think that once reality sets in, all the glamour of being on tv and such wears off, they will most likely break up. I was rooting for jason but realized, he was much to good for her, she really isnt ready to settle down and have kids like she says, or she wouldnt have chosen jesse. Jesse is still immature and has never had a serious relationship, and to be thrown into being engaged in 6 weeks is a bit drastic. But Jason has won the heart of america, though i dont believe he will be the next bachelor because of his son. I am sure he will have no trouble getting a date and finding a woman who will love him and ty more then anything. Poor guy just doesnt have much luck finding food women. Deanna thanks brad etc, but she did to jason exactly what brad did, and jason has a child he could have been with, and she had to embarras him on national television by getting down on one knee. I wish the best for Jason and hope he find a wonderful woman. And I wish the best for DeAnna and Jesse and whatever their future holds. (And im not agreeing with Jeremy being the next bachelor, only because he doesnt seem ready to put himself out there again, but we will see)

I was in disbelief with Deanna's choice, really. Jesse may be a great guy - with a great personality and a devil may care attitude to life - but as a viewer (and not as a contestant in this reality "game show") without the interaction and with a different set of standards (ie job security, personality, lifes ambitions, etc...), I would have easily picked Jason or Jeremy... and as it would seem from the responses here, I'm not alone.

Producers, directors, editors... all put their spin on this show - on what we see and hear - by choosing what is left in the show versus whats edited out. As the show progressed I personally felt that either of the last two guys let go could easily have been the best choices.

Maybe Deanna DID find herself as the show drew to a conclusion.... maybe she is looking for fun, spontaneity, and that she TRULY did fall in love and LOVES Jesse as a "soul mate" -- how she could have come to that conclusion in a scant 6 weeks boggles the mind, but hey... maybe it can happen? Who knows. Just maybe. (as an aside, did you notice how she was the one gushing more than Jesse did on the After the Rose special?). What was up with that?

Yet, I have to wonder what TRULY caused her to chose Jesse over Jason. In putting a show like this together there are too many variables to consider. I've always had a hunch that any bachelor / bachelorette could have chosen the final person based on who would cause the LEAST pain and emotional upheaval should this relationship not last? Perhaps. Maybe Deanna realized the pitfall of this type of show (in finding a mate for life within 6 weeks while the cameras and microphones capture your every word and move) during the last go round (and maybe contractually she was obligated to see this show through). I'm thinking of uber disappointments like Jenn Scheft or Meredith who were basically in the same situation as Deanna - that being voted off in a prior season of Bachelor and given a second chance. Trista and Ryan were just a blip on the map of something good happening at seasons end and beyond with regards to a personal life together.

I feel that Jason was quite the fine catch (hell, even Jeremy!), and maybe the potential emotional toll of saying goodbye to not only Jason, but also Ty, could have forced her hand in this final choice. To get an inkling as to how she'd react just look at how she became when letting Jeremy go (hell, even Graham for that matter!) at the second last rose ceremony (including the arranged meeting back in the Bahamas in the last episode to discuss his feelings); if Deanna became this emotional with a decision she felt sure of, could you imagine how she might react if an engagement were to go south?

PLEASE dont pick Jason as the next Bachelor....he is way too 'sissy'....I would not be attracted to him at all! D and Jessie have great chemistry...

First of all I have to say that I am so happy that the “underdog” got the final rose last night & I only wish the best for “D” and Jesse! On another note, I am so sick of people saying that “DeAnna did what Brad did to her.” I don’t know if you people watched the same show I did, but Brad didn’t pick anyone in the end! He led both girls on. At least DeAnna had her happy ending no matter if you agree or disagree with her choice. Now for those people who don’t get this whole concept of the show….there are two people in the end. One person is going to get hurt, that is just a giving, unless you are someone like Brad! He definitely was the looser in the end. Last nut not least as much as I would love to have Jason as the next bachelor I don’t think he should put his son through all of that again. My vote is for Jeremy!

Wow....that was a shocker!!! I truly wish she'd let Jason go prior to the home visit. As a single parent, I know how hard it is to invite someone new into the family circle...not just for the children, but the parent as well. I am guessing he's had a bit of explaining to do to Ty...and I hope it's all gone well. Jason seemed like a wonderful man, and I sincerely hope that he finds his happily ever after.

Jason is a salesman. Deanna read right through him. He is a control freak who would smother her to death in any sort of relationship. The fact that he was well prepared to sell himself and that he used every opportunity to do so does not make him genuine. His puppy personality comes across as fake even if he knows how to win people over and close a deal. I admire Deanna for her courage and perception. She made the right choice.

I was completely shocked when she chose Jesse over Jason. She lead everyone to believe that she was madly in love with Jason. I believe that this romance will not last for long. Jason was right when he said she went to the fun life and not the stable life. Deanna what were you thinging. I believe that Jason should be the next Bachelor!!!! He is great and he deserves the best!!!!!

I think Jesse was the right choice. Did you notice that her last date with jesse was all about being romantic & the one with Jason was swimming with the sharks. She didn't want to get romantic with Jason. I think Jesse is ready. Just because he is a snowboarder doesn't mean he can't make a good make that great living. I think they will last! Best of luck to both of you DeAnna & Jesse!

You people are terrible who are talking about Jesse. How do you know what he is like and why do you even care. They were both nice guys and to think Jason was strung along was nuts. He is on reality show!!! He had to know that there was a possibility of him losing to Jesse.

Go Deanna. Follow your heart.

I was totally in shock over last nights pick. I was rooting for Jason from day 1. He was the whole package, charming,outgoing,smart, great looking and wore his heart on his sleeve. When I was 21, I married and became a stepmother to a 2 year old and will be married for 25 years this Dec. Jason will find the perfect wife and mother to his child, hopefully right in Seattle, I have no doubt. Don't put him on the bachelor tho, he needs a real wife.

i think deanna made a HUGE mistake-i was voting for Jason from day one-i think she led him on-what does jesse have to offer her? regardless, she looked at jason with that twinkle in h er eye and she said she fell for him and she could see herself spending the rest of her life with him-you just wake up one morning and that is it-well, once reality sinks in-and they have to spend their own money and do their own thing-may 9 will never come-good luck to jason

I was SO happy she picked Jesse. I could see by her body language throughout the episodes that she was falling for him. Also, her choice of "dates". The last date with Jesse was just the two of them, swimming and touching and kissing in the water - ALONE. Whereas with Jason, she chose and activity, swimming with sharks, which was cool, but not so one-on-one. Also, for those of you who didn't see or remember, Jesse did say he does want to start a family before he is 30. I am skeptical about these types of shows, but for some reason when it is a Bachelorette with 25 guys, it seems to be more successful. And as a female watching the show, I'd rather watch 25 guys instead of 25 girls. I do think they are both in love, but logical enough to wait a year to sort everything out. That DeAnna admitted she may not have known herself as well as she thought, because he is a different kind of guy, was good. I believe Jesse is true and will make an outstanding husband, and they can grow together.

Jason,

Deana's loss. You are a great guy. I am also a single parent...Marry me!!!

I totally think Deana made the wrong choice. She claimed she wanted stability, a family, kids, etc. yet she picked the total opposite of what she vocalized over and over on the show. I think Jesse and her look like the total odd ball couple together and I don't think they will last for one second. I also think Deanna is a little bit of a liar...she said last night on the after show that she wasn't really falling in love with Jason yet on the season finale she kept saying how she was falling in love with both men. I love Jason and I hope he finds a great woman that will love him and Ty.

Maybe they should put a real twist on the next season and have both Jason and Jeremy come as the bachelors, and have 50 girls competing (do a double show). It could be really interesting with first impression roses and the two of them also competing against each other, or working together to weed out the girls, They could also get each group down to the final 10 and break the groups apart. Just an idea. Maybe they would like the same girls and it could get really crazy.

I'm disgusted with most posts here. A whole package? What about love? Anyone still believes in that? I guess many women here live empty lives with their providers. They talked themselves into believing that good provider is all that matters. Why is lawyer better then a professional sportsman? Who has more heart and courage? Who is truer to themselves?
Deanna is one in a million because she reads through these things. She was looking for love not dependence. I know, that's a strange concept to most women these days.

When DeAnna's dad asked Jesse what his plans were in life for working when he got to be older, Jesse had a huge "stunned" look on his face. He may be the free spirit right now, but as a professional snowboarder, he just might provide some great financial stability...for awhile...Jesse is a big kid, but if he and DeAnna have those 3 kids by the time she's 30, I hope he thinks seriously about supporting them with money he better be investing now! I wish them the best as they both really ARE great people.

Jason was in love with love. Yes, DeAnna would have been a great catch, however, I'm not sure she was the one for him.

Shayne??? JEEZ what is her DEAL??? She seems more intrigued with her own hair and what she was wearing and how she might be appearing on camera. And HE looked like he had aged about 10 years! What's up with that? I believe they will get married also - just wait - 2009 is going to go down in Bachelor/Bachelorette history as the YEAR for marriages.

I was not surprised at all, in fact, did not one single person, see that every time jason went to kiss her, she had her eyes open? She was not physically attracted to jason. End of subject. Jesse loves her, and yes indeed, love marraige and children can be determined in 6 weeks. I for a fact know this, because my husband and i, were engaged within weeks of knowing each other too. We just knew. He was also a professional athlete and didnt know what he wanted to do later on, but that didnt matter. It would work out. In case you are all wondering, that was 26 years ago, and we are still, yes togehter, with children and a life after athletics. Great choice Deanna, go with your hear, and love jesse!

I think no one has looked below the surface appearance of Jesse. Did you not notice how polite he was, how grounded he was, what a great relationship he had with his parents.
How he got along with most of the men even in competition with them. He was being himself, first and foremost. How honest is that? I think a man of good character for "D"

THANK GOODNESS! Jason and Jeremy...count your blessings, this girl is so screwed up that even Jesse will be hurt in the end. There is a name for girls like her...EMO. She will go on with the wedding that the producers will pay for and then dump Jesse when REALITY sets in and the cameras are gone. You great guys will find true love someday.

Deanna- you are not the girl that the audience thought you were! You're totally immature and not ready for a relationship with the "best" catch!Jessie is wild and certainly not ready for anything long term. He doesn't have a steady job or plans for the future. I wasted several good hours of my life watching Deanna deceive the viewer about who she was and now I can never get that time back! Even her father seemed disappointed in her choice. She is immature and not ready for serious love!

I don't think it is fair for anyone to judge DeAnna's relationship because you don't know what goes on behind the camera's. You don't know what they have talked about off camera. I'm not usually in favor of rushing into things, but a lot of people seem awfully presumptious about who these people are when they don't know who they really are. I do have to say that even though I got pulled into watching this show and found myself hooked, I really don't believe this is the right way to find someone. Falling in love should be between one man and one woman, not one woman and 25 men or visa versa. This way leaves too many people hurt. Though I believe DeAnna really didn't want to hurt anyone, she had to know that it was going to happen especially when she was in that position herself. True love (and not necessarily just the romantic kind) means putting others' feelings and needs above your own.

OK Jason is just boring to me. He said everything that a woman wants to hear. I thought my typical guy was someone that was tall dark and handsome but came to the realization that that is boring. I'm with a guy who is a ski patrioller in CO. I guess the woman need to find the good men in Colorado because it seems to work just fine in regards to Trista and Ryan . Deanna will be just fine and I'm so happy with her decision. She is chosing to have fun in life instead of a boring life.

Well I actually think Deanna didn't know the kind of girl she was. Like she said herself, she had this list of everything she was sure of about herself and in the end she realized she was a lot different than she thought she was. I think Jesse is in love with her AND while concerning the whole children before 30 issue Jesse stated once that he would like to have children before 30 to because he didn't wanna be 40 when his children were 6. I really think this was the best choice because you can see the sincerity or love in their eyes when they look at each other. I think this was an amazing choice and I'm so glad they're together

What a disappointment! Can't believe she picked Jesse the snowboarder. For a boyfriend maybe, but a husband. What will she do if he breaks his neck and is a parapelegic in a wheel chair? Graham was the best. She slammed him again, even last night. "Graham isn't the man you are"...woman scorned..she couldn't have him so he's trashed..what a loser!

I could not even finish watching after she told Jason she couldn't I turned it off I felt so bad for him and I think that this show is really going to mess with some peoples heads but I cant seem to stop watching............

Either way she gains a child - one named Ty or one named Jessie.

Soul mate? Never have been sure what that means exactly. Isn't Deanna the same woman who, what, six months ago wanted to marry Brad Womack.Now she "knows" that Jessie is the man with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life?

Seems more than a little immature and contrived. Perhaps she wanted to "one-up" Brad?

I guess I can't understand why people willingly give up their privacy to search for "love" on TV. We have become so infatuated (good word for what transpired on the show) with fame that we will endure any embarrassment or humilation to have it.

It's TV. Get over it.

It's all a scam...all Bachelors and Bachelorettes say they didn't know until the last minute...C'mon now...that's a bunch of ****. But anyone going on these shows should know there is only 1 winner (sometimes 0) and everyone else gets knocked down.
Bad choice!

Jesse was perfect for Deanna and I was afraid she would not see that. Yea girl you got it right. He was not frivilous with his emotions and stayed close to the belt with everything. but when he realized it was for keeps and that he may have a chance he put his whole heart into the rest of his time with her. I beleive there is true love, romance and a great future with those 2.

In my opinion, DeAnna is stupid!!!Jason is such a sweet and smart guy! I can't believe she sent him home, but...that's life and I hope Jason finds someone that deserves his love!

Shayne and Matt looked great together and I believe that they truly love one another. They to me look like the perfect couple for one another. I wish them the best.

As for Deanna and Jesse. Its hard to tell. I think they are both sexually attracted to one another, but will it go passed the infatuation phase, I'm not to sure. To me they don't seem to quite fit together, looks, background etc.

I don't see Jesse sticking around with Deanna for too long. She is looks to conservative and he looks to be, well of a different style. I don't see Jesse keeping his hair short for anyone for to long a time, and besides he looks real sexy with longer hair. I don't think Deanna herself knows what she wants.

I hope Deanna enjoys good sex with Jesse. Jesse looks like he can definitely guaranty and provide for her for sure in that dept. Deanna will get hurt by him. I hope she will not find herself alone at forty with a closed heart to romance, but having chosen something sexy and fun and different over something stable can lead to that unfortunate scenario. But she is still in her twenties... so while still young with firm bodies, enjoy the ride to come with Jesse. Take it to its end and if and when it ends, take the good memories and regard it all as life experience. However, by early thirty if I were her I would start looking for stable over exciting to ensure to have her children and family life. Prove us wrong Jesse and Deanna. Happiness and Love to you both!

Deanna is a professional real estate agent. Jesse is a professional financier/snowboarder (read email elsewhere in this commentary). Jesse's financial accomplishments in Breckenridge and the skiing world are nothing to be overlooked. Clearly, both are smart and intelligent people. They recognized the attraction for one another early-on and had to "work their way" through the televized program, according to the pre-set rules which would require the appearance of competition and uncertainty to the very end. I personally believe the real competitor to Jesse was Graham, not Jason. DeAnna knew that. Jason told DeAnna "You never looked at me the way you looked at Graham and Jesse." So Jason saw it, too.
According to the TV rules, DeAnna had to have a second man against which to choose Jesse. DeAnna, intelligently, chose to let go the two men which could and would have made the Final Rose Ceremony more intense and more difficult....Graham and Jeremy. Jeremy, a very well educated man, was intense about DeAnna (noticeably more so than Jason) from the start. DeAnna was intense about Graham from the start (he had a different lovestyle than hers so it could not work out). There is a lot more thought, TV program rules, and strategy happening here, in order to get to "the heart of the matter" than we are recognizing and acknowledging. DeAnna and Jesse are two very bright and intelligent people, quite well matched actually in more ways than just romance. DeAnna IS a smart gal, although self-absorbed (who of us is not, especially when it comes to relationships?), and let her heart rule more than "her list". Remember, unlike Jeremy or Jason, Jesse did not come to the show expecting or even wanting to "find someone"....he seriously considered not participating at all. So the biggest change happened in Jesse's psyche, a smart man who realized this gal who he could have fun with had just taken him by the pants (or heart, rather)....and it took Jesse's Dad to validate it, approve it, and tell his son to "go for it". Recall that at that point in the show, Jesse told himself he was going after that gal and the other guys better get out of his way....he became as determined in love life as he was on skiis and in his financier activities. Don't underestimate Jesse. Interesting show. I wish them the best.

So okay guess she wasn't that into Brad either because he was like Jason
he had stability in his life and knew where his next paycheck was comimg from.
I agree she should have cut Jason a long time ago, it broke my heart to see him hurting. They looked so good
together she choose soooo wrong.
So what happens when Jessie can't snowboard any longer whats next???
Jessie had said something like he wasn't ready to get married right away and start having children.
Dee needs to re-think about getting married so quickly and see what happens in the months to come.

Reminder to all who LOVE Jason soooo much and HATE DeAnna for stringing him along and keeping him from his son. He and he alone made the decision to leave his son for six weeks not DeAnna. What kind of loving father leaves his son to find true love on a reality show that has a very small success rate? De Anna made the right choice; Jesse seems like an awesome guy. I do believe he has a steady job as an instructor and has plans for the future. I would have picked him too. De Anna and Jesse can spend the next couple of months having fun and exploring the possibilities of a lasting relationship and if things don’t work out (which they won’t) true to form, I don’t think it will be hard for either of them to move on. However if she had picked Jason and then months later they broke up, Ty would have been hurt even more by a reality show that his father (who loves him so much) exposed him to. Makes you think that maybe Jason isn’t as great as all that.

I think that, as Jason said, she looked at Jason as the "safe" choice and felt like she was stepping out of the box with Jesse. As much as I like Jesse I do not think he is the man for her and feel like she will definitely regret her decision in time. .. Oh and Jason should be the next bachelor for sure... If she doesn't want him I will be glad to take him for her!!!

DeAnne didn't KEEP Jason from his child...he chose to go on the show and stay away from his son. I think the spark of interest was there from the very first night with Jesse. He may not be as smooth as Jason but he will make a great fun loving dad.

Hey America, leave it alone. Deanna fell for a guy who fell for her. I watched the entire show and know that she chose her soul mate. Feeling safe and secure with someone (Jason) is no reason to marry. You marry because you fall in love with your soul mate. End of story. Best wishes to them both. And Jason.....he will find someone who is right for him. It wasn't Deanna and she had the guts to tell him he was NOT her soul mate!

I am shocked by some of the comments here. Don't people know that what you think you want isn't always who you fall for? Quit thinking that DeAnna is fake. I mean, chemistry and romance play a part of it. Yes, she wants kids and stability, but she took a leap and trusted her instincts to go for Jesse. You can think you want all the things Jason and Jeremy had to offer, but fall in love with someone else. I commend her for not choosing the safe route, and for going with her heart. It is clear that Jesse truly loves her.

Also, everyone was so hard on DeAnna and saying she was leading Jason on. That is the way the show goes people! You have to narrow it down to two people. Jason should take it as a compliment that he made it as far as he did. She wasn't leading Jason on....she liked him and was dating him and fell for Jesse in the end. There's nothing wrong with that. She couldn't just pick Jason out of guilt for the mere fact that she had kept him away from his son for a few weeks. That was Jason's choice and there were no promises.

Everyone gets annoyed when either the Bachelor or the Bachelorette makes the decision of who to choose on the day of the rose ceremony, but what is the best way to answer that tricky question? It is hard to answer questions like "When did you know who you were going to pick?" There is no good answer. If you say early on then people say you were leading someone on. If you say right before the ceremony then people think your love is fickle.

Please, no Jason or Jeremy as the next Bachelor. Jeremy is nice but BORING, which is why DeAnna didn't pick him. He's WAY too serious. Does he ever laugh and just act silly? Jason was nice but another show would just keep him away from his kid for another extended period of time. He will find plenty of women willing to date him while he is home with his son.

Shanyne seems to be leading Matt around like a puppet. He seems to have given up everything for her and she seems so unimpressed by that. Chris kept asking about their future and they both looked uncomfortable and tried to change the subject. I think Shayne is holding out on marrying him b/c she is young and just dating him for the fun of it. Poor Matt seems truly taken by her. Matt looked great on the show last night. Loved the hair. He had the David Beckham look.

I think they need to do another Bachelorette. I enjoy it more than Bachelor. The show needs to really weed out the strange characters. I know they want ratings (and sometimes get them from the wacky ones), but they chose a bunch of strange guys for DeAnna with only a few "real" possibilities. I think whoever they choose as the new Bachelor or Bachelorette should help look at profiles and choose possibilities for themselves based on who they are interested in.

DeAnna is an unmature little girl who was hurt by Brad on the Bachelor (Brad was definitely right in not choosing her for her bride to be), then became the next Bachelorette claiming to the world that she wanted to settle down and have a family. Also, claiming she would not hurt and treat anyone the way Brad treated her. What a joke! She let poor Jason get down on one knee. What the heck to do call that? She looked like a damn fool to the world. Even more so, she picked the wrong guy. She is living in a dream world. Let all of this "hoopla" calm down and when she is back in reality, she will realize the mistake she made. Too bad, she deserves it! She should have let Jason go a long time ago. He didn't deserve to get hurt. I hope Jason finds the happiness he so deserves and perhaps become the next bachelor...

I too was quite SHOCKED at the choice of Jesse over Jason. Jason looked so enthusiastic hopping down the aisle to greet her and I'm sure was 100% confident that he was her choice. Talk about disappointment! I think she should have picked him - he is so sweet, caring and obviously a real family man which is what she says she wants. I definitely vote for Jason as the next Bachelor. Jesse is sweet but I don't think I could see him having three kids over the next few years. Plus she'll have to get used to living with snowboards all over her walls - yuch! But, if she's happy, then I'm happy for them and good luck with everything!

Did no one actually watch the show? Jesse and DeAnna discussed how many kids they wanted, when they wanted to have kids, what Jesse was going to do after his snowboarding career, etc. They talked about all of that. You could tell in "After the Final Rose" how pure their love is, something that really stands out especially compared to Shayne and Matt's air of fakeness. I am so happy she chose Jesse over Jason.

I don't care if DeAnna choose Jesse over Jason. The problem is DeAnna is so self-centered. All she talks about is I don't want to be the next Brad. She has been doing what Brad is doing all along. I don't find her words genuine

What the h-e-double hockey sticks was Deanna thinking? Jason was so head over heals for her it was not even funny. Not that I do not like Jesse but if Deanna was being serious when she said she was ready to settle down and have kids, then she definitly picked the wrong man. Not only did she let Jason down, she let little Ty down too.
Deanna, I have one question...why in the world would you let Jason get down on one knee when you knew you were not going to choose him...how rude was that!

I usually only watch towards the end, so I don't have a lot of history to go on . . . but what little I watched revealed an unmistakable & real affection between Deanna and Jesse - - more so than I've ever noticed on these shows before. You just can't "act" that - even more so when the combo seemed unlikely. I think they both learned something about themselves and I think Deanna is much more "jeans & fun" than she had to portray. With Jesse, I think she realized she could be the real her, and not the "let's be on a perfect date" girl. Also remember, they've been seeing each other since filming ended, so the fact that they're willing to publicly announce a wedding date now is a sign of not regretting the choice.

As for someone getting hurt - - I think she hinted once the guard was down, that she knew she "couldn't live without" Jesse early on, but she had to keep playing the game. So who do you decide is going to get hurt. SOMEONE has to, with the way it's set up. She could've let Jason go earlier, but who then do you keep? Graham - well, if she had a thing for him and sensed he wasn't so sure of her, it's hard to fake that last episode of blissful final dates. And both Jeremy & Jason were equally invested in her. If you knew you wanted Jesse, who would you have chosen to "hurt"?

who REALLY gives a [expletive]????????????

Jesse was always the guy for DeAnna. I saw it since I started tuning in halfway through the season. I'll start commenting on the top 4 men. Grahm was so fake and would have broken DeAnna's heart; he wouldn't open up, and the letter he wrote...I mean come on. He's just a little immature guy who can't get over his high school years and is afraid of commitment. Jeremy- while some people may think he is attractive. He is so needy! Any guy who needs you is not someone you want to marry. Why? Because he will take what he NEEDS from you and leave you with nothing. It was a huge decision getting rid of Jeremy, but I'm proud of DeAnna for seeing that she needs a guy who loves her and respects her for being herself, but doesn't NEED her. Jason- wow he was great, what can I say? I just think everything would be less...fun i guess. I mean if you think about it, DeAnna and Jason wouldn't be experiencing the joy of planning their FIRST wedding, finding their first house, and having their first child. Jason has already experienced it. I think DeAnna was smart to pick a man she could grow with and learn from. I do respect Jason, He is of a higher class than Jeremy and Grahm, because he loved her, but, when she turned him down, he was happy for her. He said that in the After the Final Rose special. He said that she didn't look at him the way she looked at Jesse and that he was happy for her. What a Great Man.

Then there's JESSE!!! My favorite from the beginning because he isn't afraid to be himself! He said during the homecoming dates that he didn't need a wife, he didn't come into the show looking for a wife. The most important thing, why I think Jesse and DeAnna's relationship will work forever is because Jesse was willing to wait for the physical stuff and become friends first. Any guy who thinks of friendship first is a great guy in my book. He knew that relationships are built off of friendship. I think he really and truly loves DeAnna. he wanted someone with her own opinions and personality. DeAnna has just that. They will be together forever. And just like Jason said. I am so happy for them. :)

After following both the Bachelor and Bachelorette this season, I am convinced that water does seek its own level. Nevertheless it's always a hoot to watch people (Deanna is a textbook classic example) say one thing and do another.

Poor Jason on the recap/finale part. It almost felt like Oprah vs. James Frey, the author of A Million Little Pieces. How much abuse does a basically decent guy have to take on national TV? But Jason handled it with real class. Most 31-year-old American males can only wish to be as mature and well-spoken.

The lady doth protest too much when she quickly inserted, without any real reason, that him having a young son had nothing to do with her decision.

I agree with an earlier poster that Jason doesn't need a reality show to find live and neither does his kid. Here's hoping he gets the REAL woman he deserves.

She made such a great choice with Jesse!!!!!!!!!! He was my first choice for her and myself, haha. He's a wonderful spirit and they are a true match. Jason was a cheeseball that really wanted to love her, but they just weren't well matched in my opinion. She needed the free spirit in Jesse that she is herself. GOOD CHOICE!!!! YAY!!! HAPPILY EVER AFTER FOR YOU TWO!!!

Just in case those who are unaware of the AVERAGE salary of an account executive..in Seattle...it runs from $59,091...$65,020...$86,616...$100,350 Now a professional Snowboarder could make $50k to $100k (purse is shared)...IF HE WINS...no guarantee..so let's look at security, let's look at being able to visit the "must see" family, let's look at being able to provide the cash to take care of ALL of the normal, everyday expenses of having a family (ie, medical, dental, optical, auto, home, etc...insurance) not to mention a mortgage, and food and well, entertainment is there and then count that for 3 kids and the parents. Where is Jesse going to be able to handle that???..compare and see what DeAnna OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T..but I bet her Dad and sister saw it..I really hope that if Jason really does still loves her, that she comes to her senses. I see Jesse seeing an income to help with his expenses..that is, if they make it to May 9, 2009

At first I was really disappointed. I thought for sure that Jason was the one, but then I saw her and Jesse together, and I saw Jesse in a different light. He was mature, stable, in love, and so happy that Deanna chose him. The thing that most people fail to understand about this show, is that no matter what we all think, it is still tv. Meaning the show isn’t geared for leading us to believe that the right one is the right one, they want us to be confused, to keep watching. Did you notice that the at home date with Jesse they showed was about 3 minutes and the at home date they gave Jason was about 6, twice as long? Even if more happened, we wouldn’t know, and we don’t know.

Not to mention, the most important element here, EVERYTHING DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON. Just like Jason said, and I say it everyday. Jason Mesnick has a wonderful woman out there for him. Although Deanna wants a family, lets be honest, she is probably not ready for a family today, right this second. I am 25, and I thought that I wanted kids by age 30, every day I wake up I think, uh oh - I am not ready for that yet. She isn’t either.

I know we all want to be cynical, especially because Jason seemed like the perfect fit for her, but isn’t the most critical part of a relationship being content, being happy? And don’t you have to be happy to make someone else happy? Was Jason truly happy? I don’t think so, and neither was Jeremy, but Jesse, he is happy. He is the only truly happy one out of the three, which means he can make Deanna happy.

“Your companions are like buttons on an elevator, they will either take you up or take you down.”

I've watched from the beginning and the fact that Jason and Jessie were the two at the end is in itself a huge surprise since Graham was the front runner until he turned into a sullen jerk. Although I was a big fan of Jason's, it's wrong to put the blame on Deanna for everything. He knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the show and his son will get over the one meeting he had with "D". Kids are resilient so it's not the end of the world. Also, as someone who married a man with a son, I can tell you we had some really hard times and most of our fights were over child rearing so I don't blame her for being wary. As for stopping him from getting down on one knee, come on! It was so quick and I think she pulled him up as soon as she realized what was going on.

As for Jessie, he'd be a great buddy to pal around with but they just seem like totally different people after all the fantasy and glamour are pulled away. Everytime they'd go on a date, Jessie would be flabbergasted that she "did this all" for him. Obviously he didn't realize the producers plan those dates so his goody train may come to a halt when the adventures stop. But I never thought Ryan was all that great either and look at him and Krista. I wish them the best.

I guess J and I are the only ones who saw Jesse as the one for De. Jeremy was too depressed all the time (or at least that was what was viewed) and Jason lost me at his hometown date. He just tried way too hard. And this is someone married long term with a son and is ready to just jump in and get married after 6 weeks? Sorry, too suspicious for me. No baggage? No question as to whether this needs time for son, Ty? Not a rebound? I had way too many questions. And I'm someone who has been married over 20 years to the man I started dating in late teens. You know when you know, I totally belive this. I knew! Jesse can know, too. De needs a man with a backbone, Jesse. She is way too strong and opinionated for Jason and Jeremy.

Did anyone else notice that Deanna never once said to the guy she was letting go, "You're a great guy, I'm sure you'll meet someone." The focus was always on her. I do wish them the best-- Jesse seems like a real caring, genuine guy and I have renewed faith in Deanna for choosing him.

I think Jesse is not serious about Deanna at all. I think he is wrapped up in all of the fantasy that ABC has pretty much gave them. They need at least 6 months to a year to live in the real world and have a real relationship before even talking about marriage. My guess is this won't last like pretty much all of the others. Deanna is a nice girl and a great catch but she really needs to find a guy the good old fashion way and not try it on reality tv. She won't have 3 kids before 30. Her expectations and goals are unrealistic. Jason is a great guy and dad. He reminds me of Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle. He'll find a great girl I'm sure. And hopefully they don't try to exploit him and make him the next Bachelor. I think that wouldn't be good to parade all these ladies around his son Ty. I think Jeremy should be the next Bachelor. He has no baggage.

I love that Deanna picked Jesse. I really thought that Jason or Jeremy would be her choice, but I was secretly routing for Jesse. He is really genuine and doesn't try to be someone else. I think they seem really happy together, and I hope it lasts forever. I married someone who was my complete opposite, and we have been married for 20 years. He was also very unconventional with long hair and strange clothes. We are doing just fine. I wish Deanna and Jesse all the luck in the world.

I was totally shocked when Jason stepped out of the limo first. I was instantly crushed, you always know whoever gets out first is the one going home. I couldn't believe that she was foolish enough to let him walk out of her life. All she talked about was family & Jason was ready and willing to make that happen. Am I the only one that remembers Jessie telling his family that he doesn't know if he'll be ready to propose to her at the end? Then two weeks later gets down on one knee...What a dummy?? Did DeAnna not see that episode? Jason said every episode that he was ready to be with her forever and Jesse was the one having cold feet and doubting their relationship as a couple. I am looking forward to reading that they have split up, it'll serve her right. She & Brad deserve each other... She didn't know what she really wanted the whole time. Disappointing!!! Jason, you are amazing. You'll make some woman extemely happy one day. Just focus on Ty and the rest will follow. You may want to watch out though, because I'm sure women will be hunting you down now... = ) Wishing you and your son the best life!!

Ok everyone...give the girl a break.
She picked who she wanted. Let's only wish them the best...Hopefully they'll be happy...only time will tell.

They sure are into each other and I hope this happiness prevails

I too was surprised that she chose Jesse, but I think he is a super person. I remember in the first few weeks he made a comment that he was thorough with snowboarding and was "looking forward to having a family of his own" and might even consider being a stay at home Dad? Am I the only one that heard him say that?

YES!!!! Jesse is genuine, Jason is a FAKE. Jesse is more of a man. Finally a real person on the show and not some man-bot. cool. go jesse. Hope DeAnna treats you right

Reading all of these posts you would think that a lot of you don't understand what the show is all about...it's about dating lots of people at the same time...which means YES you will be 'leading people on'. everyone who signs up for the show knows what it's all about...so deal with it if you get hurt and don't find love. What was Deanna supposed to do? Kick everyone off and keep one person so she didn't hurt anyone else? You can't do that people!!! It's a show!!! and she has to get to know everyone...and that takes time.

I don't see how it's Deanna's fault that Jason's son was involved...isn't it Jason's responsibility to worry about his childs feelings instead of hers? I can' t believe the comments like "she's so stupid she made a huge mistake"

I think Deanna totally screwed up...I think Jason or Jeremy should be the next Bachelor...They are both real guys...I think Deanna was very much acting one way and talking another...she is very immature you could tell that on the final show when she is saying Oh Honey to Jesse...Jason and Jeremy should thank there lucky stars they did not end up with her...

FORGET THE STUPID SHOW!!!!! I want Jason to meet my beautiful 28 year old daughter, Chelsea, who looks so similar to Deanna and lives in the Seattle area. Jason, if you're interested, email me at gotpar4cin@yahoo.com. I swear you won't be disappointed and neither will she. (p.s. I don't think she's seen the show, but don't worry - I'll finesse that).

I LOVED this season of "The Bachlorette". However, I was also in shock she did not select Jason. It crossed my mind to turn the channel, but I to keep watching. I was on "Team Jason" from the beginning. I think he is a great guy and frankly, it is her loss. The right women is out there for Jason and when he meets her, he too will be thanking DeAnna for the choice she made.

I did fall for Jesse by the end of the show. I can understand why she selected him, do I think they will, I don't know.

I think it would be a bad idea to make Jason the next bachleor, however I think Jeremy would be perfect. Jason has a son and it isn't fair to Ty to be away from his father again.

Good grief! The only reason that everyone liked Jason is because they feel sorry for him. He is a single dad! Big deal! He was BORING! Deanna made the right decision.

My roommate and I have watched the show from the beginning and I Have personally been rooting for Jesse the entire time. Of course the show edits it so that we believe that Jason should be the one. Jeremy could have been the one based on his looks but I was continuously impressed by the way DeAnna followed her heart the entire time. Of course Jason is stable and the marriage type, but he continued to annoy me the whole entire show, it seemed as if he just really wanted a mother for Ty and he was pretty much ready to settle for anyone, DeAnna just happened to be this beautiful woman that he was after. He was also always overly positive and out to prove that he could be adventurous and romantic, and often i think that his continuous optimism was a bit showy and that he may not be truly geuine about DeAnna but that he was too wrapped up in the thought about being married again. And how he mentioned that he had never loved before DeAnna? I hope he did because how could you be married and choose to have a child without at least once loving that other person? That seems very out of place... Jesse is so incredibly genuine, he was so from the very beginning. I too date a snowboarder and it is a real sports. I worked for ESPN X Games and know just how hard those men and women work at their careers and it upsets me that people would find what he loves to do and what he does making money as frivilous. Of course once he cannot compete he will get another job, he is talented and smart and it bothers me that people are saying she chose the wrong guy because of his profession. that is just so lame. Talk about not choosing for true love. She definitely made the right decision and I wish them the best of luck!

"Perfect" is not the reason you choose someone to be with--you young ones should take heed--choose the man that makes your heart sing. Not the sweet, secure one. Take my word for it.

This so called reality show absolutely thrives on creating broken hearts. Jeremy & Jason will find better love, no doubt about that. Good for Deanna & Jesse - sometimes love is unexpected, but I do think that he has his hands full with Deanna - she is spoiled rotten, demanding and when she doesn't get enough attention, she throws a fit because it's 'all about her'. When she said that she 'woke up & decided that morning, that's a bunch of bs...I bet you anything Jesse knew he was the one because when he proposed and she said yes he got up too quick and just kissed her - there was no shock, no 'oh my gosh you just made me the happiest man ever' none of that. But she should have told Jason it wasn't him - not fair at all! How dare she let him get down on one knee...and you better believe she 'let' him - she loves it when guys thrive on her. She is a brutal girl. Funny how she thinks she has fans ;) really, we just got suckered into the edited drama of the show lol. She messed up with what she told everyone & she did get caught. Put her story together, it doesn't make sense at all. She should have been honest with Jason so much sooner than to lead him on like that and her 'nervous' display on 'after the rose ceremony' when she was talking to Jason trying to pathetically explain herself was nothing more than her freaking out cuz she knows she messed up big time. Truthfully I like Jesse WAY more than I like her now. He's a great guy from what we see, but definately will have his hands full with his spoiled little princess who doesn't even really have the approval of her dad. Does anyone think that he is as controlling as Jessica Simpsons dad haha ?! crazy show.

Leave Jesse alone, even Barak does the fist bump and we're all in big trouble if he is not mature!!! Jesse is a terrific athlete that takes more than "having fun". Financially they will be fine just like Trista and Ryan. No one felt she was looking for the fireman and thought she should have went for the money. Byron and Mary are still together after three years even though they had a public bump in the road - so what! If they wouldn't have been the "bachelor" couple the police would not have made a big deal out a a domestic like that. I bet Bill and Hillary had more outbursts than that.

I hope Deanna and Jesse work. I saw it coming after reading an interview she gave. The truth is that we see edited shows and don't know what all goes on and all that is said.

Jason was looking for someone to fit into his little spot in the world. He kept referring to her as if she was Ty. What about the ex? What was his part? He wasn't ever moving anywhere. He can't take his son away from his Mom.

6-8 weeks is not the norm but I can tell you my husband and I met and married in 8 weeks and we've been married 19 years - HAPPILY albeit not perfect! I would have loved those 8 weeks be the fantasy weeks they had.

GOOD LUCK, Deanna and Jesse.

I think Jesse is not bad, he is handsome, genuine, and the most important thing is his love for DeAnna. I can feel how hard he feels talking one on one with deanna's dad about whether his career is stable or his love is true. It is ridiculous for those who judge someone on his career or social status. Each of us have our own way to find true love, so does DeAnna. She picked Jesse because she has more connections with him and feel more comfortable being with him. Jesse deserves to have a true love too!!! Not only Jason!!! Have anyone mentioned about why Jason's wife left him? Didn't he take any part in his divorce? I admit he seems to be a good dad on the show, but who knows who he is in real life??? Why don't you think for DeAnna, would she be happy without regrets to be with a divorced man with one son while she has chance to choose other single guys who can give her their own children??? Not many step mothers love their step children as their own's. I just wish DeAnna, Jesse and Jason the best!!!

r u ppl kidding me. all you haters either are alone or don't believe in love. i am a fairy tale come true and you can tell if you love someone. trust me you know. i meet the man of my dreams on a paid dating site. and was living and engaged and married all in a year in a half. i love him to death. so ppl deanna and jesse can and will have there own fairy tale to talk about.
god bless you both.

I think she did make the right choice by choosing Jessie. Who wants to be a mother that fast? Its not even her own child.. she will always come 2nd.. sorry but divorcees should stick to divorcees

I think that Jessie is a real good guy, but I don't think that he is ready for what Deanna "says" that she is looking for. Apparently, he has never been in love, and doesn't really know what love really is. It's more then just having sweaty palms and a butterflies! He is much too young mentally and not ready for getting married and starting a family, let alone, having 3 kids within the next 4 years. He has said so in many episodes, including the one where his parents meet Deanna. Personally, I think he has been very upfront with her. Deanna on the other hand has contradicted herself in many episodes about what she wants and expects. I don't think she ever got over Brad either. She pulled a "Brad" on both Jeramey and Jason! For a woman who claims that she wants to settle down and start a family with her new man, she sure picked the opposite. I think she is infatuated and in lust, not in love. Been there, done that myself at a younger age. Sucks! My predication is that they will not last, let alone get married. I don't think her family, especially her dad, was thrilled either.

Good luck to both Jason and Jeremy. Both super men!

OK, first off....this is TV people. It's for ratings!! Yes, I watched it and, honestly, this was the first bachelor/bachelorette I could stomache watching. I think Deanna was honest the entire time. That being said I will repeat THIS WAS A TV SHOW!! If these guys didn't want to get even an eensy weensy bit hurt they should have stayed home and not applied to be on the show in the first place. Second, I think those two are cute. I knew I was going to marry my hubby after two months and we have been married now....happily...for 12 years. No, it doesn't always happen, but it could.

Anyhoo, it's all for entertainment. Enjoy it, but don't feel too sorry for these guys. It was their choice to begin with.

I saw an interview with jesse on you tube and he has 2 houses in CO. and 25 businesses to support deanna with.

I hope the will be happy she saw beyond the cover of the book.

I am totally "on board" with her choice of Jesse. She didn't go overboard (geez, can't get away from the board) for the first person that blew up her skirt, instead held out for the one that brought out all things; fun, sweetness, gentleness, sensitivity, and like she was the only woman in the world. You could see the real stuff between these two and I loved it. Unexplainable, and that feeling "can't live without." Does anyone remember what love is?

Yay Deanna and Jesse!!!! A story of friendship, love and passion!

Unfortunately like the majority of people, I think DeAnna chose Jesse over Jason as she really is not ready to handle what Jason has to offer. She is not all that mature---let's be honest here. What was the actual answer that Jesse gave DeAnna's father when he asked him " What will you do when you are no longer involved in competition?" We never really saw his answer did we? What are Jesse's personal goals? He may think he is ready for marriage, but I do not think this engagement will last. There are too many obstacles already. DeAnna has a very protective family and if this marriage were to work, I can see her father being very very intrusive and putting his foot down on alot of circumstances in their lives. THIS IS NOT A GOOD MATCH. And Jason...he is too good for her. She is really not ready for what he has to offer. She is too immature for him. They are two kids caught up in what they think is "inlove" and not really looking at what's real.

i really can't understand why everyone is flipping out so much.

one: what you see on TV is a teeny tiny fraction of what actually took place during those six weeks. let's not fool ourselves. the TV network isn't matchmaking out of the goodness of its heart- it's creating entertainment! they need to make it look like she has amazing connections with two wonderful guys in order to keep our attention. i bet they even have her say specific lines when shes doing her interviews with the camera.... obviously, something was there for her with jesse that there wasn't with jason in order for her to pick him... just b/c you didn't see it, doesn't mean it wasn't there. what you saw wasn't "real life" it was a reality TV show!

two: despite all this, why is it sooo horrible that she kept jason around until the end? do you really expect someone to make those sorts of decisions in such a short period of time? was it wrong to keep the person she had the 2nd best connection to the last two men? i mean, maybe it really wasn't until the end that she knew he wasn't the one. i know so many people that have stayed in a relationship far longer than they should have- i mean years! so even if deanna stayed with jason for like a week longer than she should have- well, that's a WEEK! given the pressures of the situation, i think it's completely unreasonable and ridiculous to suggest that she's some sort of monster for not letting him go earlier...yes, he had a son, but who knows what responsibilitites/loves/passsions other men left behind for te show. just b/c the show didn't focus on it, doesn't mean it didn't exist.

now, that said, whether or not she made the best choice is something we'll never know. i think we can just hope for the best for all involved and pray that they get the PDAs under control, b/c, no matter how happy you are for them, really, no one wants to see that... :)

This was a set up by the producers.
Jesse is really the right choice and it is HER choice so show some respect for Jesse . He is a honest, sincere, funloving person. Jason is a wimp and she dodged a big bullet in Jeremy. Very possessive and emotionally unstable.

Just want to say.....your loss DeAnna.

I honestly have thought about Deanna making the wrong decision for 2 nights.
I cannot believe I have let myself get so wrapped up in this. I guess we thought she knew what was best for her, her future, her family everything. I guess I thought she was more mature. She picked something that is fun in the moment, she is so blind. I can picture her in about 5 years. She will be getting ready for work with two kids on her hip, while Jesse sleeps till 10 and hangs out with the snowboarders all day. I guess she can save money, with daycare ,by letting her in laws take the kids on the road in the 18 wheeler, because she will working to support jesse and the kids he is not ready for.

Jason will be just fine. He is going to find someone much better for him.
I haven't thought DeAnna was "all that" since day 1. Something about her isn't real.
Like someone said before, I don't think she is good enought for Jesse. He has alot more going for him than people know.

Am I the only person that WASN'T surprised she picked Jesse? At 26, I wouldn't want to marry a guy with a ready-made family and life either. Where's the adventure in that? And just because Jesse is a snowboarder now doesn't mean he won't find a lucrative career later (maybe a snowboard shop??). I don't know too many young married people that have it all mapped out. I think she followed her heart. I would have picked Jesse too!

I can understand not wanting a "ready-made" family, but if that's the case then why string him along to the final 2? If that was her hang-up then she should have let him go earlier.

She's a pretty girl but seems like a total pain in the ass. Jesse is in for a shock once he realizes that every day isn't an exotic date planned by some production assistant and HE has to entertain and placate this princess.

Personally I was sad when she voted off Twilley a while back. I thought he was so cute and she never even gave him a chance. I don't think he even got one single one on one date with her, I felt bad for him, he got cheated...but I guess she just wasn't feeling anything with him, but if that was the case why did she keep him around as long as she did?
As for the thing with Jason and Jesse, how can everyone just sit here acting like she should have picked the man with the better job, or the better physique?? That is kind of shallow. If you love someone they look attractive to you no matter what. She apparently just felt a chemistry with Jesse that she didn't want to live without...In fact I believe she said those exact words.. that she couldn't imagine living without him. I would choose that feeling over a "good job" or looks anyday..

The whole show is kind of getting annoying to me though lately after watching a few seasons I have noticed that they have certain points where they are supposed to finally tell the bachelor/bachelorette they love them, and there is a point toward the end where they each make a gift for them...how can love be scheduled?? I mean come on.. sure the little board game Jason made and the photo thing Jesse made were sweet and romantic, but just knowing they made it because the show tells them..."ok its time for you each to give her a gift" does kill the romance a bit for me...
Not sure if the couple will last...but can anyone say how long any given couple will last?? I think not...but good luck to them,..

How about someone caring to ask what Deanna is going to do careerwise over her lifetime?? Only know that she wants to get married and have kids before 30. Why grill the guys over career and completely omit her?
Other than that, loved the show, LOVED Jesse and think she made a great choice.

Ugh.

I am SO UNIMPRESSED with Deana's choice to let Jason go.

WHAT WAS SHE THINKING?!

I feel totally lied to. We were lead to believe all this time that Deanna was looking for love, for a family, for a MAN and she chose the 'cool kid' instead of a life with a man who would make his world about her.

It's probably for the best, Jason deserves a woman who will GIVE and GIVE and be a thoughtful caring wife.... I wonder now if Deanna knows HOW to be in a relationship, and not an exciting fairytale...

Climb off ALL of your HIGH HORSES, ALL you KNOW-it-ALL'S! Let De & Jesse enjoy a fascinating time of their lives - there is NOTHING better than LOVE! Who picked who, doesn't give any of us carte-blanche to say what is, or what isn't! Let them live, and let IT GO! What happens - happens! We certainly don't have any control over it! "Oh she should have picked Jason"! OH MY! Oh we should PICK OUR NOSES! LET THEM LIVE! DO PEOPLE CRITIQUE YOUR BOYFRIEND'S/GIRLFRIEND'S? NO! SO leave them alone! They have made up their minds, you didn't do it for them! If you want it that way, there are a few countries I can suggest you can move to, where you spouse is picked before you are EVEN BORN! ~~~GJA Bethany, Oklahoma -- You go Dee & Jesse!

Even Rick Springfield has a song entitled "Jesse's Girl".......

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT JASON THAT WAS NOT GENUINE. HE TRIED TO HARD TO PLEASE DEANNA AND HER FAMILY. EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM WAS PLANNED AND FAKE. I AGREE WITH A PREVIOUS COMMENT ABOUT HIM; HE NEVER TOOK ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS PREVIOUS DIVORCE, ALWAYS BLAMMING HIS EX. BUT LETS THINK....WHY DID HIS EX CHEAT ON HIM...WHY DID SHE LEAVE HIM? HE IS PROBABLY AS FAKE OF A PERSON IN REAL LIFE AS HE PROTRAYED IN THE SHOW...

JESSE ON THE OTHER HAND WAS TRUE AND VERY REAL AND GENUINE. HE IS A TRUE HUMAN BEING, FULL OF LIFE AND JOY, AND THAT IS WHAT ONE NEEDS IN A RELANSHIONSHIP, ENTHUSIASM AND ADVENTURE....NOT A BORING JASON...

DEANNA YOU PICKED THE RIGHT GUY....HE IS GREAT...LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT STILL EXIST PEOPLE!

LETS NOT BE SO DOWN AND NEGATIVE LIKE JASON..

You could tell that Jesse felt like an idiot when he had to give her the "Book of Thoughts" or whatever it was called. It looked like something a 5-year old would make for their mother.

Well let's face it- Deanna needs constant ego boosting. She wants someone who will tell her she is beautiful and treat her like a queen. Jesse is the one for that. I'm sure he is a GREAT lover and very attentive to her romantically (sexually) and he makes her feel powerful in bed. He also looks at her like she is the only woman on the planet- ANOTHER ego booster. I think she is more attracted to the way he makes her feel than who or what he really is. He will eventually die down a bit and stop giving her so much physical and emotional attention and when that happens, expect a sure break up because she will then find someone else who fills that major insecurity void that made her choose Jesse in the first place.

PEOPLE!! When you claim a certain thing was NEVER SAID by Jesse, YOU MUST REMEMBER you weren't there & you only know what the producers showed you after the edits. You don't know exactly what he said or how he further explained himself on any issue. Also, remember that the couple wasn't miked while in the water (2 dates) & lots of their conversations appear (from the images) to have occurred there. I don't think it was a coincidence that Jason gets dock boards to sit on & structured seating in a kayak while Jesse gets horses, sand, ocean & bonfire to bring out romance & cuddling comfort -- DeAnna chose which guys got which date & she seemed all about being romantic with Jesse after his home town. Can't blame her, he's awesome!

I've been with guys like Jesse & they don't fade. The dedication & energy it takes to truly focus on every physical & psycological aspect of becoming a professional level athlete translates to every part of their lives, including sexual skills. Good timing because he was ready to find the right girl. The way he naturally throws his head back when he laughs is an endearing characteristic. He's the complete pkg: friend, lover, honest, romantic, generous, adventurous, athletic, naturally funny & fun to be with.

I'll bet Deanna & Jesse are windsurfing in San Diego this weekend!

I THINK HER AND JESSE ARE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HIM AND PEOPLE BACK HOME MEET THEM THE OTHER DAY AND SAID THEY SEMM SOOOO HAPPY IT WILL WORK OUT SO WHAT JASON IS ALONE CRY A RIVER THATS LIFE SHE CHOSE HER HEART OVER HER HEAD!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK GUYS !!!

You people do not know the stress of a step child and an ex. i think that the mother of Jason's son would be all over them as soon as she see's that he is going to be making money through being with Deana (if it had happen that way) I think it was smart of her not to start out with baggage, its just added stress on a relationship that would be put in the spotlight anyhow. I think she should have went with Jeremy, he seemed to really have a good head on his shoulders but that is just what you see on TV.

I was pulling for JEREMY!!!

I think Jason was the one seeking adventure through DeAnna. He spent the bulk of his 20s in a relationship that failed. Now he is a single dad. He hasn't had much room for adventure and seemed to be desperately trying to prove to DeAnna that he was as adventurous as Jesse.

Snowboarding is Jesse's job but he also has other business ventures on the side in addition to his non-profit. I think he is more stable than most of the other guys. Jeremy quit his job to go on the show which, for someone who had not found out if he'd passed the bar yet, was kinda risky and semi-foolish.

I think that Jesse was the best all around choice.

OH whoop-di-doo Jason is STABLE. Hmmm a divorcee with a kid, that's baggage with the x-wife already. What if she's some kind of psycho? No thanks.
Jesse is adorable and exciting and funny! If a man can make a woman laugh, then that is a huge bonus because humor and fun is essential in a relationship. Jesse had her on his BACK going down the mountain on a snowboard. I snowboard...it's not easy..couldn't imagine carrying someone on my back! He was the first to jump to her when she played hurt off the bull. He melted my heart right there. What woman doesn't want a guy to rescue her?
Jeremy was a little creepy kinda psycho, and way too broken and needy. Baggage again.
As far as the whole stability thing and kids goes. I'd live in a shack as long as I had LOVE and passion and guess what? kids would too if they knew mom and dad loved eachother, and there was fun in the household.

What about the FACT that Jason Mesnick has now been selected as ABC's next Bachelor with a January 09 air date -- it is confirmed by ABC Television, and the FACT that Jason is the very first JEWISH bachelor for this particular tv series -- and when the selection process begins for 25 eligible women, they should know this up front -- even though Jason says he doesn't want religion to be a source of separation between people, and that is great.... the WOMEN will need to understand that Jason/his family do not accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, and that Christmas and Easter celebrations will not be part of the future scenario. The female contestants should be fully apprised of this, and go into the Bachelor for January 2009 air date on ABC fully ready to make these life compromises if serious about being in a mixed family......I only say this because in the past, many of the female participants have been very Christian in their upbringing, and hometown dates could be awkward... just so they all know up front. Some conversions take place when a new baby enters the picture, as traditional Jewish families will attest that, according to jewish law, if the mother is Jewish the baby is also -- so the mother would need to give up Christianity to convert to Judaism if future children come into the picture, and Jason wants to have more children... I wish Jason Mesnick and everyone involved a thumbs up~ good luck! A great show!
