Jason **SPOILERS**

[CharlieBrown]

I read here alot but just had to post that of the little I've seen--IMO Jason is the one. I read/heard (can't remember where) Deanna said she hopes we see the love story---we've already seen the love between JASON and Ty. Just think Ty could be the ringbearer at their wedding!! OK, I'm a pushover when it comes to kids.

Uhm, don't we have a date with a spray tan machine?

I think Jason is a wonderful man. I wrote more about him in the BLF thread and I am so looking forward to reading him more. He seems so genuine and compassionate. I am really hoping that we have a love connection between he and DeAnna. Another love story, courtesay of the Bachelorette is due.

I hope that she has, even if out of curiosity, checked back into this thread to see the fact that we do love Jason, believe he is airing in a very good light, are sympathetic to his situation, and believe him to be a good father and a good match for anyone who comes along the way (quite possibly DeAnna).

Like most others, Jason ranks at the top of my list right along side Graham and Jeremy. These men seem to have come in to the show with a true interest in meeting Deanna, seeing if they could develop a lasting relationship with her, and being honest and open with her throughout the process.

If the other SCs are correct, and Jason makes F2, I really do hope that if she chooses him, things work out and that little boy will have a new momma to take care of him.

Incredibly well said!

I, too, wish she'd come back and post about her son. It will definitely help to contradict the edit that he probably gets. Just think about Jeremy's thread and how that has given us the real picture. It really does help to defend your family member by telling us more about them.

Oh, and if mysonisthebest is reading, please know that I was being completely sarcastic about the paternity test and going on Maury only to find that Ty was his. I was just trying to highlight how ridiculous some of the posts were getting with respect to the speculation about his divorce. It is none of our business what the reason is (ie: why doesn't anyone care about Ron's divorce???) and I was, in my own silly way, trying to point that out. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way and I'm sorry if I offended Jason in any way.

I also want to put this here as well. I did post it in another thread. There is NO WAY in a million kazillion years that I would ever drive down to Washington to find Ty's daycare and see if he'd talk to me about his new mommy. NEVER!! I only realized the magnitude of my sarcasm when I read your last post and I felt horrible for even putting that out there.

Very few posters, if any, are really serious about the things they post but I can assure that I was absolutely NOT serious. I have children and grandchildren too and I would be horrified if I thought any nutbar out there on the ethernet was going to track one of them down.

For his mom: I actually write very highly of him in the BLF thread. I seriously didn't see him coming with respect to DeAnna. Again, I'm sorry if I was the reason you left the board.

Jason has such a warmth towards women, and gentlemanly behaviour about him, and I attribute that to his mother because I'm raising one too.

Good post, Lynn!

To address last nights issues if I might....
Divorce is not the Biblical "unforgivable sin" and since divorce and remarriage is so common in our society today, I am surprised that we haven't seen it in as a much more serious issue more often on this show than we have.
I have a grown step-daughter who through the years has called me Mama much, much more often than my first name; her precious daughter calls me Mimi the same as my own two grandbabies. Her own mother was on the scene. In fact, she lived with her Mom, and we had her on weekends and frequently in the summer, etc. While I would have wished the situation to be always the smoothest, it was certainly do-able. I love her and her child like they were my own. In my mind and heart she is mine.

I simply wondered how much Ty's mother was involved and how that would effect DeAnna. How would she view that in relationship to Jason?

I never meant to appear intrusive. However, I am a sleuther and sleuther do look for what they feel might be pertinent facts. I do apologize for those whose sensibilities I might have offended.

*I also try to keep in mind that we all look at things in different ways, and maybe we can be a little tolerant and try to cut each other a little slack for differences of opinions?

I sleuth for an entirely different reason. Professionally I do a lot of problem solving, and I find it is hard to put a lid on it when I watch this show. Also, I hate suspense, and have to know as soon as possible. (Yes, I confess - I do read the last page of almost every book before I read the first. Thats how I decide whether to read the book in the first place.) And, yes I read all the Lost spoilers as well!

I have the same affliction !! And I hope I am going to enjoy this show more because I think I know the final outcome..... - not always a sure thing but one can hope ! But as much as one side of me enjoys hearing the inside scoop - another side of me feels it is an invasion of privacy and I feel uncomfortable knowing all the details. But others have brought up - that these people do open themselves up for this - perhaps though - they do not realize how extensive the sleuthing gets ! I don't think harm is done.

I agree. I guess I don't see the difference between this and getting on people's Face Book pages or talking about Jeremy's past relationships. Jason is the one who made this an issue, imo, by leaving his child and appearing on this reality show. As a mother of two grown daughters I see Jason the single FATHER as being his defining characteristic. How is got to be a single father is something that is relevant and why he chose to be on the show is also relevant since he left his son at home for five weeks to do this reality show. In order to sleuth one of the things involved seems to be the background of the individual. This is the elephant in the middle of the living room. Jason's child should not be watching this show or reading the boards, imo.

My grown daughter dated a loving, single dad of a child this age and imo DeAnna would be very unwise not to consider the changes that it would make in the relationship. The crazy situation surrounding the SHOW and long distance dating would make the dating process much more complicated than the normal meeting the guy in your town and gradually being introduced to the child. She wouldn't just be dating Jason, she'd be setting up expectations for his son. Since Jason is F2 I would be stunned if this did not enter into her F1 choice. I can't imagine anything that would change a relationship more than having a small child involved it would bring much more pressure on a budding long distance relationship and on De. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that she picked the other guy, Jesse, because of Jason's child. She wouldn't just be committing to Jason, she'd be committing to his son. jmho

I seriously doubt a three-year-old child is reading message boards on the internet!!!!!

My point exactly, so I don't see the harm in discussing the divorce. If my fear is right about DeAnna not being in love with her F1 this sort of background information might save her from some big time fall out.
Aside: I need to proofread much more regularly.

Someone posted a question in reference as to why there is so much focus on Jason's divorce and not on Ron's. I can't for the life of me find that post, but I wanted to respond to it. I think it has everything to do with the fact that Jason is in the F3. (possibly F1! ) and Ron being let go at possibly F6. It just seems that once we figure out who the F4 are, we are more inclined to learn more about them.. much more than the other contestants. JMO

Yes, I'm sure DeAnna may not have said before that she was "looking for a divorced man who already has a child". But what I see is DeAnna falling in love with Jason...the man he is, the father he is, and how she will feel loved by him.

With DeAnna losing her mother at such a young age then her father remarrying, she has first-hand experience of what it entails to be a step-mother. Maybe DeAnna can relate to how grateful she may feel that even though the tragedy of losing her mother was so great, that she and her father were blessed to have a woman marry her widowed father and love and care for his children.

I also have a feeling that DeAnna's father will have tremendous respect for Jason's devotion to his son and his passion for finding a woman who is capable of giving an unconditional love to a child that is not her own.
