Bachelorette...

Graham-sent home this week.

The best word I can think of to sum up tonight's episode is emotional. From Jeremy reading his journal entries(that he wrote during the time his mother was passing away) to Deanna, to Jason and his son's reunion(so precious) as well as there goodbye's(so heartbreaking) to Graham's emotional departure(didn't I predict this one?), including the letter he left for her to read. Is he trying to torture her? I want to know what it says! Hopefully it will give her some closure and not rub salt in her wounds. As sad as it was to watch Deanna pour her heart out to Graham and he not giving much back to her, I can totally relate to Graham. That is pretty much how I am-it is very hard for me to express my feelings. I think this is one of the best "home town" date episodes ever. Also Jesse finally went for it and kissed Deanna(it's about time!) I'm excited for next weeks episode. I really kind of feel bad for Deanna because I really think she has true feelings for them all. It would just be a weird situation to be in but I guess she knew that going in to it. Anyway if you missed the episode you really missed out. :)

Hey! I got your comments, thanks! I'm with you on the Bachelorette last night. I thought it was a really good and really emotional episode too! Graham was bugging me when she was being all emotional and he was just acting so flippant about the whole thing! I normally like him even though he doesn't open up to her. The scene with Jason and his son was TOO precious, and I actually thought Jeremy was a little bit more down to earth than normal. I think, sadly, Jesse is next to go. I can't wait for next Monday!

I only saw the last half of the show last night. I came in half-way through Jason's date and I saw all of Graham's. I sadly cannot relate to him. I'm a bit of a chatter box, I tend to say way too much. I'm with Kim....even though I didn't see Jesse's date, I can't see her picking him. He seems to be such a great guy, but just not a match for Deanna.

This was the first time I had watched it this season, and I couldn't believe that graham did that and didn't try to open up to her a little bit more. I do agree the scene with Jeremy and his son was too cute and she did seem to really click with his family.

Stephanie...I think you are the first I have seen from our old little group back in the day. I think it has been about 4 years since I last saw Mandi Farley. The only way I hear up on her is through Erica Hermansen (whom I see about once a month). Your kids are so cute you are very lucky! Hope all is well.

I agree. That was an emotional show. I feel bad for Graham because I think he really did have feelings for her but like you said,just didn't know how to express them. I don't think he realized how bad she had it for him untill the very end where she poured out her soul to him. It was sad to see him go.I liked him a lot.

Ya, last nights show was crazy good. Graham is a hottie, but he would probably drive DeAnna crazy bonkers! She likes to discuss everything! I like all of the boys that are left though. We should have a party for the final episode!

Love your posts. I've thought about doing a "favorite things" post too. Your family is the cutest!
I love reading about others and what they are up too. Thanks for sharing!

Who will she choose?!!...She told Graham that he was the one she was falling in love with, but she didn't want to get hurt again....that doesn't seem as open as she says she is...I think the mere fact that it was so hard for him, said how much he cared for her....sad...
For the first time watching this show, I have no idea what the Bachelorette will do. I love this show...it has me hooked! I feel bad for the other guys when she told Graham that he was the one she was falling for... but that she made a choice and now is nervous she won't fall in love...what a thing to say when she kept three that are falling for her! Maybe she'll do what what's his bucket did and not be with anyone...in some weird way I think that might happen...but here's to hoping that she really does fall in love! Who do you predict?

STEPHANIE said...

Ali-you have a lot of great points! I was thinking how hard it was going to be for the person that she chooses(if she chooses someone) to watch that episode. Especially when she was telling Graham goodbye and telling him he was the one she was falling in love with and wanted him there at the end. I'm torn, I think it will come down to Jason and Jeremy and think she might choose Jeremy. I don't know if she is ready for Jason's situation-although she seemed very touched by him and his son. I think we will have a better idea after next week's episode. Who knows there have been lots of surprises this season(like her not giving either guy a rose on the 2 on 1 date, no cocktail party, guys living in the mansion with her), maybe she will be able to bring Graham back for a second chance? I know it's way out there but you never know. Or may be she won't choose anyone of the remaining three and after the show is over hunt Graham down.

Liz said...

I have been pretty hooked this season too. She has several really nice guys to choose from. I wish she would pick Jesse. I think there is something very likable about him, but I think she is going to pick Jeremy (he is too serious for me)...I guess we'll just have to wait at the edge of our seats for the final episode before we find out...

I have never gotten into the bachelorette...maybe it's about time! Sounds intriguing!

Jamie said...

This episode tortured me- I wasn't a Graham fan until she let him go and now I am sad for them both. Weird. I actually don't think anyone left is right for her. I think she likes Jason and thinks he is an amazing guy and a great father but it ends there. Jeremy is to much of a loner and an independant that I don't think he would really give his full heart to any relationship- I sense some selfishness in him and Jesse is sweet and a goofball but a little more of a ski bum that isn't ready for marriage plus there is no chemistry there. I will still be watching and maybe I will change my mind when I see them on there romantic alone you will never have a date like this again in your life!!!

I'm loving all these comments and everyones thoughts and feelings about the show! Who would've known that so many people like the show as much as I do-may be I'm not as crazy as I thought. I've even had some lurkers post comments. YAY lurkers! Jamie-I have to admit I liked Graham a lot more once she cut him loose and I'm sad for them both too. They had that hard to find chemistry that doesn't come along very often. I agree with all your takes on the guys too.
