Behind the Edit **SPOILERS**

It's had drama (thanks, Graham) it's had heartbreak (thanks, Jeremy), it's kept uncertainty alive (thanks, Jesse) and it's shown us a love story where two people with some history in life - not all of it pleasant history - find love and family in each other (thanks, DeAnna & Jason) that, like the season opener told us, it not where DeAnna ever thought she would find it (thanks, TPTB). And when something happens they have given us a reason beforehand - example - in a VO DeAnna told us that Jeremy was perfect, but she had to love her choice too. And sure enough when she cut him, it was because she didn't fall in love with him. Good editing.

If she chooses Jesse, then this has been the WORST edit I have ever seen on this show. It has failed to show us a love story with the F1 - it has shown us only a love story with F2, and it will be incredibly difficult for so many viewers to accept a happy outcome for anybody. And the biggest problem I have with this edit is that it is STILL misleading us. Why show (on the latest MSN previews) Jason telling DeAnna in such clear and stark words that he loves her??? It is not only a bad edit, it is a cruel edit.

ITA about it being cruel to continually show Jason pouring his sincere heart out if he is not F1. I will NEVER believe the "romance and intimacy" with Jesse. I believe she may love him but not be "in love" with him. He seems like he would be a fun guy, but all of his lines sound like they are completely scripted. JMO.

If Jesse is F1, I am soooooo done with this freaking show!!

I've heard this a lot on the forums lately. Bet I know what would get you back though:

Sleepless in Seattle - Part II
The edit:

The man who got HIS heart broken on national TV comes back to find his soul mate. He has narrowed the choice down from 25 beautiful women to the final two. Will his final choice be the beautiful Kirsten who seems to have stolen his heart? Or the stunning Sally - the single mom with the adorable 4 year old daughter? The country has fallen in love with both of these women - who wouldn't - but which one has captured the Bachelor's heart? Tune in Moday at 8:00PM to find out - see Jason express his love for the first time to his choice. Stay tuned for the live show - from the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington - where Jason introduces his fiancee to his family.

You'd watch.

Heck - I'd watch.

That's why I hope he doesn't! :

Then again, I would love to see him weekly again...

you are exactly right...and everyone would be trashing him because he is not going to pick who THEY wanted him to....the circle is never ending.

While I want to keep the faith that she chooses Jason, but am cautious as I don't want to get my hopes up! I am open to the possibility that the people who "leaked that Jesse was picked" have been asked by Fleiss to spread those rumors. I also would like to believe that since everyone has "known" it is Jason all along, Fleiss wants us to be surprised so he has asked Jeremy and the other Bachelor's to say they think its Jesse.

That's what I'm holding on to!

Perhaps Fleiss wanted to soften the blow and therefore leaked. Maybe Jesse is the one and he wanted to get the idea out there.

But, if Fleiss wanted to soften the blow, he certainly could have edited the season more "Jesse-romance" and not shown or highlighted all the sweet tender Jason moments. They certainly must have tons of footage to work with.... ??

I am going to keep the faith that "everything happens for a reason." I hope she will choose Jason, but will trust that it will work out best for all of them in the end.

I wanted to say a special thank you to Piper Maru, Bloomers, and all those who have contributed to this thread. It has been one of my very favorites.

I really wish it was meant to be for Jason and DeAnna.
