Jason **SPOILERS**

[redrose]

We know DeAnna hadn't dated divorced/single parent guys before. We know she had a part in the screening process. If it was such a concern for her (as were smokers), Jason and Ron would not be part of her 25.

Very good point!

DeAnna is the only judge who's opinion counts on this show, and I know that on American Idol, I often don't share the judges' opinion (or that of the voters...). And if DeAnna thinks Jason is the right guy for her, I guess he is, but the same is true for Jesse. We can have our opinion and nobody here has to agree with each other or with DeAnna, but in the end it's DeAnna's choice...

Good point, Estella. They had a show once where america got to choose the mate (called Married by America) and it was a disaster. When we're only shown edited clips of people we are making judgements based on TV De or TVJason or whatever and don't really know whose compatible. Also no matter how compatible someone is on paper, you can't control someone else's heart or make them love the other one. DeAnna knows her own heart, mind, and soul and she will follow that to her dream guy. She knows what traits she can tolerate and what she can't. I trust her to know her own mind and heart and will enjoy the ending no matter which guy she choses.

She may have had a part of the screening process - but not to all info as well - especially with the divorced guys - that may have been kept from her too

While I agree, we don't need to know the intimate details of what went wrong, just a broad stroke "highlights", did it for me.

Exactly, I was satisfied in knowing that his ex wasn't ready and I don't need to know anything more then that. Truthfully, I doubt that abc will disclose much about it. Bettina and Bevin did not have to disclose very much - their responses were also satisfactory for me, although they may have explored the discussion more with the Bachelors in private or edited out.

Secret I understand what your saying and hope that no one misread what I said. My intention was that there are numerous possibilities.... and it is unfortunate that rumors can get started over that. Thanks for mentioning it, hopefully if someone was about to run off with that, they also read your comment.

Perhaps it wasn't one of her stipulations up front, so when TPTB were finding the guys they didn't feel the need to weed those guys out. Anyway, we'll soon know how it plays out. One thing I'm kinda concerned about is why does Jason wait to reveal his "secret" on his 1:1 date in the 3rd epi, when he gets golden 1:1 time during the magic group date? That's a big time difference in Bachelor land!

I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but imo, Jason is getting the Bevin and Bettina edits and in all three cases divorce was the issue. Jason was not upfront about his divorce like the other guy (I can't think of his name), neither were Bevin or Bettina upfront about their divorces. However after stating this, I wonder if DeAnna would choose Jason for a guaranteed proposal. We have to remember that the Bachelorette wants to get the Bachelor to propose, and to me Jason would be a guaranteed proposal. jmo

I wonder about him, the old saying comes to mind. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is...................

I get the idea that he feels that there is a time and place for things - and he did say that he would explain it at the first 1n1 - if he got a rose etc... - so he did have a plan in place for this.

i don't know if he's getting the Bettina or Bevin edit just yet, but his edit the first night was not stellar either.

Ron was the 'divorced' guy but she asked him a direct question "What brought you to Kansas' and he answered it and that answer involved his ex-wife....if Jason had've been asked a pointed question I'm sure he would've shared with Deanna, but with all the family talk they did (at least we heard what she said) I'm surprised he didn't mention he had a son.
