Behind the Edit **SPOILERS**

The difference between Graham and Jason is that Jason makes DeAnna feel cared about and feel good about herself, and Graham makes her feel uncertain and bad about herself. Just for the record, I am a Jeremy fan. The reason I like both Jeremy and Jason better FOR DEANNA have nothing to do with what I do or do not think about Graham as a person---they have to do with the fact the Jeremy and Jason both seem to make DeAnna feel comfortable, happy and cared for---not hurt and doubting herself. JMO, as always.

And you wonder, where was my check list, and where did he come from.

BRAVO, excellent post. You nailed it on the head, she never saw Jason coming and with each and every passing day she falls deeper and deeper and she doesn't even know it's happening.

PIPER, you rock sista! So can't wait to read your transcript for this episode. I can only imagine how horrifying transcribing Jesse is to do.

If we are operating under the theory that NOTHING in the edit is there by accident, what do we make of the "cosmic" links to DeAnna and Jason's time together? First at the observatory - star gazing (clear shot of the stars) and then the full moon (clear shot of the moon) during their time on the deck. Any thoughts? I really am too obsessed with this season, I need to get a life! Heck, I'm even considering extending a trip to LA by a few days so I can attend ATFR. Is there medicine for this?

If there is let me know!!!!!!!!!!!1

There seemed to be a starry night/moon edit going on with Jason and DeAnna BUT THEN today I read a preview of next monday's episode and it says "DeAnna spends another moonlit night with Jeremy" (not a direct quote, but something just like that) referring to their Sinatra date---so it seems the current editing team is just obsessed with the night sky. Probably why they decided to leave in Richard's lesson about what a shooting star often is.

What bothers me the most about Graham is that he has caused her pain - hurt her - twice already. Is that what one wants in a relationship?? During their 1n1 time at the track - she actually did try to let him know that she had not kissed anyone prior to that and he certainly didn't bother to listen - she said it twice and he didn't hear it. That also tells me that he may have trust problems because she certainly tried to reassure him on that.

Hi Guys!

Okay, I've got everything pulled together but I need to post it in parts. The most you can fill into a post is 5,500 words and the transcript is close to 16,000 words. (Yeah, it's a beast. LOL). If everyone could hold off posting for a few minutes then maybe I can get the posts to run in succession for easier reading. I'll start on it now.

ETA: There will be four parts!

EPISODE FOUR TRANSCRIPT PART ONE

Whew! Okay, so I went really in-depth for you guys considering that this seemed to be a pivotal episode. Normally there are more opportunities for paraphrasing. I won’t be able to go this deep for the rest because it takes forever but thought this might help. Like the previous ep I’ve got camera shots in parens after dialog, bolding of key dialog, my own notes throughout the transcript, and a few observations from my SO. There’s a lot to be gleaned from this ep as to how everyone is being edited. In particular, Jason’s evolution and reaction shots, Graham’s devolution, the accelerated face time for Fred, Robert, and Brian, Twilley’s pensiveness, Sean’s delusions, Jeremy’s continued pursuit, and Jesse’s subtle calculations. Apologies ahead of time for my serious transgression during Brian’s House of Pain song. I needed a brown paper bag to get through the hyperventilation. Worse yet, my SO wanted to replay it (I had to leave the room!)

Interesting side note about the singing: In Survivor Thailand one of the F4 sang a song one night and after transcribing it and the camera shots that occurred during certain parts of the lyrics, it showed the entire outcome of the game—including the winner. That particular song also prompted us to start an analysis of sunrise, sunset, and moon shots that also tracked the boots and eventual winner. So FWIW, even the unlikeliest things can have significance!

What seems to be a fly in the ointment in this ep is the fact that the male bonding is getting in the way of D making informed decisions. Ryan and Ron started stirring the Jeremy cauldron. Robert added a few more ingredients. Brian was too chatty about the guys. Ultimately it has spelled doom for all but Jeremy so far. There are a lot of “red flags” in this ep, which is to say, dialog and camera shots that signify potential clues as to the outcome. Oh, and take note all you potential DeAnna husbands—she’s a woman, NOT a girl. SHAKING HEAD. (Personal pet peeve) It’s easier for me to make my notes within the transcript, so beware, it’s a novel. And as always these are just my opinions about the edits. Nothing personal to any of the players. So tear ‘er up and lets see what we can puzzle out!

OPENER:
CH VO: Previously on the Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas came to Los Angeles looking for the love of her life. And she met twenty-five handsome (shot of Brian coming out of the limo) bachelors (Graham, Robert) each hoping (Jason) to heal her (looks to be hugging Jeremy) broken heart. Then the RC toast from ep three.
Note: Jeremy has the hug when CH says “broken heart,” and FWIW, in slo-mo it appears that when they clink glasses at the RC, D looks to have clinked first with Jason.

CH VO: And with only twelve men remaining, DeAnna took Richard for a romantic evening (Rich and D in carriage) in the city of angels. (D asks driver to pull over) that ended in heartbreak.
D: I came here tonight with this rose and I can’t give this to you tonight because I have to make the right decision for myself. I want you to know that it’s truly breaking my heart right now.
CH VO: And on a date in the clouds… (D and Jason in helicopter)
D: We’re going to land right here.
CH VO: Jason finally revealed his secret (Jason and D exiting chopper).
JASON: The most important thing in my world is my three-year-old son.
CH VO: …and got the rose (Jason kissing D in front of telescope). Then Ron went after Jeremy (Ron at Dude Ranch campfire).
RON: You lack something, brother (Jeremy). There’s a level of tact that’s missing.
RON TO D 1-1: My sense about Jeremy is that he rubs a lot of us the wrong way.
D TO TON: I feel very secure that he’s here for the right reasons and he’s tried really hard. (Yeah. Like a smitten Taco Bell Chihuahua.)
CH VO: And got sent home (Ron saying too-da-loo to D at RC).
RON PI: You know, DeAnna tonight didn’t reject me, she chose other guys. That’s what happened. I didn’t get rejected. She just chose other guys. (Yeah, honeybun. She did. And I didn’t get Hugh Jackman because he chose another wife.)
CH VO: Now, only nine men remain… (Jesse and Jason, with Jeremy behind Jesse and Twilley behind Jason. Both Jesse and Jason are wearing roses.) Potential money shot of F2 shot. Jason is smiling. Jesse is suspiciously looking over in another direction
CH VO: … each dreaming of (Jeremy, Graham, and half of what looks to be Twilley) America’s sweetheart (Graham, Fred, Robert). Another interesting toast. D in the middle. Jesse and Jeremy on either side of her. Jason next to Jesse. Graham next to Jeremy. The only glasses we see lifted are D’s and those four men. Brian, Robert, Fred are visible in the bg. I’m smelling a money shot.

CH VO: And tonight. (Speedway, Sean)
SEAN IN CAR: Dropping the hammer baby! (stock car)
CH VO: Who will win the race for DeAnna’s heart (Brian) and who won’t? (Graham during 1-1).
GRAHAM: It remains hard for me. (You can say that again, snookums.)
D: That’s why when you and I have this time you can’t hold back.
GRAHAM: I didn’t.
D: It takes away from me and you.
GRAHAM: Well sometimes I don’t feel like it’s just me and you.
AWKWARD.
CH VO: And an exclusive concert for two.
D PI: Natasha Beddingfield is going to sing for just the two of us (D and Jesse slow dancing)
CH VO: And then… (insert date of death emote) (Fred, D, and Robert at dinner table) two men… one rose…
D: Tonight has been an amazing evening (shot of the three of them with the three headstone crosses in the bg.) I respect you both for putting yourselves out there but… (shot of Robert surprised).
CH VO: Who will leave their date broken-hearted? (D seeing off a limo.)
D PI: He said all the things that I want someone that I’m in love with to say to me, but I wish that I would’ve felt something more for him.
CH VO: And… the most dramatic (D, Fred, Robert, Sean) confrontation yet (Sean, Graham)
D: I put my whole heart into this (Robert), and only half of you (Graham) can put yourselves out there (Jesse).
CH VO: When DeAnna speaks her mind (still on Jesse)…
D: When I say I know exactly what you’ve all gone through (Brian, Jeremy, Jesse, Jason) I know exactly what you feel. I know how hard it is because I’m going on dates with other guys (Jason), and if you guys can’t handle it go home.

IN THE OUTHOUSE:
CH greets the guys.
CH: Hard to believe just nine of you left here dating DeAnna. Robert, Jason, Fred. The three of you guys received roses this week. As you might’ve guessed, you’ll be leaving the outhouse here and moving up to the mansion with DeAnna. So congratulations. (Requisite testosterone handslapping between Fred, Robert, and Jason. Jeremy is also on the couch looking peeved.)
CH: Let me tell you guys about the dates this week (Graham, who I might add should trademark the “just crawled outta bed look). There will be a one-on-one date (Jason, Fred, Jeremy), a group date, and a special two-on-one date (Brian). That two-on-one date could be kinda rough because two of you will go out with DeAnna, only one will return (Twilley, Sean, Jesse). So if you get chosen for that date, pack your bags before you go because one of you will not be coming home that night (Brian).
Note: This last bit may not bode well for Twilley, Sean, or Brian. Jesse survived his 1-1 date, but Sean or Twill may not be so lucky.
CH continues: Now, (Jesse) the one-on-one date is obviously where you wanna be (Jason) it’s the most time with DeAnna (still on Jason). So how do you get that date? (Fred) You’re gonna have to earn it (Jason). So to earn that spot (Robert) on that date, each of you will write and perform (Graham) an original song (Jesse) for DeAnna (Jeremy, Fred, Jason). The distress makes it’s way around the room. They grab pen and pad and go off to channel Eddie Van Halen.

JESSE PI: My weakest point in life is pen to paper. And then probably my second weakness is singing. I suck at both of these things. So I can’t lie, I wanted to punch the guy in the teeth. (Okay. What up with the violence? In ep one wasn’t he threatening to kick Sean in the nuggets? Nice Neanderthal moment, dude.)
Various shots of the guys suffering through their worst Dan Fogelberg nightmare.
VO: Someone says: “I have no musical talent whatsoever.”
TWILLEY PI: Today we’re songwriting apparently for DeAnna. I think all these guys, man, who are really talented smart guys. This is not going to be an easy contest (Sean).

INSIDE THE OUTHOUSE:
Sean asks Brian how he’s coming along.
BRIAN PI: I love putting down verse on paper. So it’ll be fun to have something you’re passionate about which is the possibility of love, write it down, and then get to convey it to somebody. That’s really exciting. (Okay. So he’s passionate about this and the best he comes up with is House of My Pain? It’s not like D’s a dominatrix for chrissakes.)
SEAN? VO: This is crazy.
SEAN: I would rather be digging my own grave then what I’m about ready to do right now. I have no desire to write this song and then try to perform it.
Note: Comments about graves and death are almost always harbingers of doom. Sean’s got two in this ep alone. Couple that with the crosses on the 2-1 that looked like headstone markers and you’ve got another editing red flag.
SEAN PI: So, the day’s only gonna get better from here I’m gonna tell you that. (Weird. On my transmission on the latter part of that sentence his words were off to his mouth moving. Looks like they had a Godzilla moment.)

OUTSIDE THE OUTHOUSE:
CHATTER: The guys go on about how Graham is writing a novel. Sounds like Jesse is calling him Bon Jovi. Fred comments that Graham is writing a book and that Jason’s pouring out his heart, but poor Fred only has two sentences down. Then cut to CH calling ‘em back into the Outhouse. (That still sounds so wrong…)

INSIDE THE OUTHOUSE:
CH sets up the mic and the guys shuffle in. D is going to be judging the spectacle and enters the room. The guys all stand. Note: Some of the lyrics these guys come up with are very telling.
CH: Okay, it’s going to be clearly and solely up to DeAnna (Fred, Graham, Jeremy) who gets the one-on-one date. Remember that’s what is up for grabs here. Fred, my friend, I’m gonna put you out of your misery cuz you are dying. (Groan. Bad foreshadow.)
FRED PI: OH.MY.GOD. (Fred sings his way out of the competition)
Graham goes next.
GRAHAM PI: I would quite possibly wanna eat glass before performing a song that I wrote for DeAnna. I’m gonna get through this by hoping everyone laughs enough that I just kinda slide through the radar and don’t make a complete fool of myself. Note: First line of the song: “Step out the side door like a bird into the sky. Where no one notices the conflict between you and I.” (How ironic that he chooses to toss the conflict line in there. Only Jason seems to sense that something unusual is going on between Graham and D. Yet another foreshadow of things to come methinks.)
Robert sings and D mentions that some of the guys were alright. Twilley seems to have music in the bg that sounds like it came from the soundtrack of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Jeremy raps.
JEREMY: Six guys in the house which one do you choose; to take to dinner tonight; pick the wrong one and you lose. A chance to see what I absolutely believe; I’m the best for you and I hope you do too (shot of a disgruntled Twilley). (No big mystery that Jeremy’s song is all about how he’s the best for her. VelcroMan is relentless in his pursuit!)
Sean’s up next.
SEAN: When I look into your eyes I feel my heart flutter. When I hear you speak I do the same and stutter. You put your heart on the line, that was inspirational. And every time we’re together it’s always sensational. (Now available on iTunes for download.)
JASON: Ding ding… The Greek islands are the place—Crete or Santorini. But nothing matches you in your bikini. I love my life. The only thing I’m missin’ is DeAnna as my wife. (Interesting comments from Jason this ep. We have that he’s falling in love with her, he’s jealous, and he wants her as his wife. Trifecta. Couple that with his watching her body language and his comforting her and his edit is getting big.)
D: Oh, okay.
JESSE: The last thing I ever do “A” is write, and “B” is sing, so this is super, super tough for me. So here we go. (Approaches D, gets down on bended knee and takes her hand.) DeAnna, you make me smile from the inside and laugh on the outside, DeAnna. You’re limo rides are awesome, your helo rides made me jealous, DeAnna. I want you to know that this is real, it’s just how I feel, DeAnna. Please don’t send me away, cuz I’ll cry on the plane, DeAnna. (They hug.)
Note: In a not-to-subtle way, Jesse’s mention of the helo ride is targeting Jason. Ron and Robert may have been targeting Jeremy, but Jesse’s edit is slowly showing him gunning for Jason.
BRIAN: It’s called The House of My Pain.
D: Oooooo.
BRIAN. It’s what we’re living in. (Everyone laughs.)
BRIAN’S SONG (Fess up. Who remembers the movie?): DeAnna, I’ve gotten lost in your eyes. Baby your heart makes me feel like I could fly. DeAnna, your spirit melts away my fears. I beg you baby don’t take away my gears. It’s midnight in the house of my pain. You’ve stolen my heart now I’ve got something to gain. I walk around just whispering your name. As I wander the halls in the house of my pain. rofl: rofl: rofl:

CAN’T. BREATHE. PLEASE. GET. OXYGEN



Okay. Thank the gods for Jason’s diplomacy.
JASON PI: Big Brian really surprised me. He really wanted to show that he was here for the right reasons and he cared about her a lot and he definitely did that.
The guys give Brian a standing ovation. Personally, I give the guy a ton of credit. I think he’s adorable, and that took some nuggets. But I

STILL.CAN’T.STOP.LAUGHING.

POSSIBLE TWILLEY VO: Brian, he’s a rocker. Watch out. The world is about to be rocked by this guy.
TWILLEY PI: (Moving his head like a duck) The house of pain…

CH: Tells the guys “well done” and looks to D to choose the winner. “Who gets the one-on-one date? Who’s earned it?”
D: It was actually pretty hard, because Robert, you’re good. You’ve got singing skills, man. And then I liked Sean’s. The end of your song really touched me. But, I think the person that I chose really put themselves out there and they made physical contact so, um, tonight I’ll be spending the night with Jesse. (Jesse sitting next to Jason).
D PI: I chose Jesse to go on the one-on-one date with me tonight. I was very touched by his song (D and Jesse hugging), and I like the way he put himself out there. He got down there in front of my chair on his knees and held my hand while he was singing his song to me.
TWILLEY PI: I thought I had a good little song going on, but Jesse, I dunno, I guess just the touch of his hand was enough to get the one-on-one date. Shows what I know. I don’t know (Jeremy next to Jesse with Graham congratulating Jesse).
JESSE VO: I guess getting down on one knee and really grabbing her hand while I was doing it really kinda hit home with her. I’m not moving into the mansion (D leaving Outhouse with mansion boys) but I do get the chance for this one-on-one date with her. I’m so nervous for tonight, like…
JESSE: She’s too perfect to be true (shot of D, Jason, Fred, Robert going up the hill).
D: My home is yours.
BRIAN: We’re losing our cook, our comic relief, and Jason. (Guys all laugh). (I noted this earlier. Definite foreshadow for demise of Robert and Fred, but Jason isn’t stereotyped. He’s just Jason. Definitely a red flag.)

CH VO: Coming up, it’s Jesse like you’ve never seen him before (Jesse wearing a suit and looking in the mirror). But, can he take the pressure?
JESSE TO D IN LIMO: I know that I’m scared out of my mind (D laughs).
JESSE PI (cut in from previous PI): I’m so nervous my hands are sweating just talking about it (shot of D hugging Jesse as he looks at the marquee).
JESSE TO D: You are ridiculous.
CH VO: And then… it’s a party at the Outhouse… (shot of D and mansion guys arriving, Robert tossing the chair)
D: Whoa.
CH VO: … that goes terribly wrong. (Robert tosses his hat, says his mind is reeling, and then sits down with D who says she’s real upset.)
D: I’m going back to my house and you guys can all stay here and hang out.

INSIDE THE OUTHOUSE:
In the livingroom. Jesse sitting next to Jeremy, Brian, and Twilley on the couch. Sean in the chair. Graham apparently there but not in this shot.
VO FROM SOMEONE: Dude do you know what you have to wear for your date?
JESSE: I don’t know. I’m starting to worry. I’m just going to go with that coat I wore the first night (Jeremy in the orange cap. Looks like he’s got half a cantaloupe on his head.) I mean I feel like she gave me the first impression rose (Jeremy grins) on that one.
GRAHAM: Go with what you know, man.
Jesse says he’s gonna wear blue jeans and those crazy shoes. Then there’s a knock on the door. Jeremy and Twilley move to answer the door. Jesse just yells “Come in!” Twilley answers the door and finds a suit hanging there for Jesse.
TWILLEY: Uh, dirtbag, I think this is for you.
JESSE VO: Describing that there’s a suit with two tickets in the jacket pocket. The tickets say they’re for a private serenade at eight, with formal attire. Jesse says he was speechless and at a total loss for words. Brian asks if he’s nervous or excited.
JESSE: I’m nervous, you know, formal attire is definitely out of the box for me.
JESSE PI: I’m so excited, but at the same time I’m so nervous. My hands are sweating right now just talking about it.
JESSE VO: I’m gonna stand in front of the mirror for a while and contemplate everything that I’m putting on and doing. (What? The dude’s never worn a proper suit before? That was a shrewd move on D’s part to see if Jesse has the ability to conform. Bit of a red flag, that.)
JESSE PI: Hopefully I can be that guy that she wants to be with (Jesse with his suitcase).
D PI: Tonight there is a rose on this date and my whole point is to find out if Jesse is husband material for me.

VO AT OUTHOUSE TO JESSE: You know the rules of one button?
JEREMY: Middle always. Bottom never. (Fancy that. Jeremy helping Jesse dress for the date, eh? Friends close. Enemies closer.)
DI PI: I know that he’s an awesome friend and I know that I have a lot of fun with him, but I need to know that he is more than that.
GRAHAM: If they’ve got you cleaned and pressed and looking like a million dollars, what do you think she’s gonna look like? (Jeremy looking on.)
JESSE: I’m almost scared to see how hot she is gonna look like.
VO (pretty sure it’s Graham): Oh man, she is gonna turn it up tonight.
VO AS D ENTERS OUTHOUSE (sounds like Graham): Oh my god.
JESSE: You look amazing (they hug). Oh my goodness. Wow.
D: You look nice. Look at you.
D PI: This I think will be really fun for Jesse because he’s always wearing a crazy jacket or crazy tennis shoes (Sean, Graham). So this is totally different than what he’s used to. I’m not trying to change Jesse, but I want to make sure that our lives fit together. (Ahem. Not trying to change him but making him wear a suit? Seems to me she’s still a little freaked by his individuality. Like maybe she really couldn’t handle him showing up to her office Christmas party dressed like Cindy Lou Who. Weird circumstances, eh?)
JESSE: You look ridiculous… amazing.
JESSE PI: I was so psyched to see DeAnna dressed up tonight. She was stunning.
JESSE TO GUYS: Sorry, guys. Gotta go (shot of Jeremy not happy).
JESSE PI: I’m super lucky (Twilley bummed) that I’m the guy that gets to go and hang out tonight.

IN THE LIMO:
Interesting sequence. There’s a ton of space between D and Jesse in the limo. No physical contact unlike Jason and her in the helicopter. D asks Jesse if he’s excited and he says he’s psyched to get her away from all of “those other guys.”
JESSE: I know what you put on this little piece of paper and I know that I’m scared out of my mind. (D laughs.)
JESSE AT THE THEATER: You are out of control. Seriously? (The marquee reads: Jesse. One night only… just for you. Love Deanna). I’m never gonna believe this.
JESSE VO: He reads the marquee. (Wrong actually. He reads it as One night only…just for you Jesse. Love DeAnna). They hug.
JESSE PI: Seriously? Just like is there another Jesse in the building because… wow. (She hugs him outside the theater). He says: It’s out of control. (do we have an X-Games emote?)
D VO: He was so excited. It’s like a kid in a candy store. He was so happy. It was so much fun because I knew that Jesse felt like this entire night was about him and that made me feel good.
They walk hand in hand through the building (hands intertwined). Jesse describes it and then says: “Tonight is going to be a romantic evening.” They see the table for two set up below the stage. She swears she didn’t know anything about that. (She doesn’t sound convincing.) He tells her she’s “out of control.”
JESSE VO: I was intimidated. You have this enormous theater that you can just hear a pin drop in, and it’s just me and DeAnna. That’s a lot to take in. (You think that’s bad? We have to hear your song again, dude.)
They walk to the table and Jesse again takes a deep panicked breath like he has several times since he won the date. : laugh For a guy with a lot of perceived bravado/confidence he’s very nervous. What gives? D even asks if he’s okay.

BACK AT THE OUTHOUSE:
Robert, Fred, and Jason have the datebox. Fred reads the card. Brian, Twilley, Sean, Jeremy, Graham, and Jason. “Gentlemen. Start your engines.” By default that leaves Robert and Fred for the dreaded 2-1 date of doom. Jason PI about how they knew they’d be driving and going fast. Twilley proclaims that the 2-1 is Fred and Robert.
VO OF SOMEONE: The chef versus the comedian (Robert hugs Fred).
Note: Still not sold. Red flag here. Two of the guys already in the mansion get the 2-1 date? I really have to wonder if D pulled a fast one to get Jason alone. She could be throwing the immunity challenge.
FRED: As far as it being Robert with me I think he has a good personality like myself. And just someone like that, it’s a little tough. I’ve gotta worry about myself and the impression I can make upon DeAnna. The connection was getting there. So this is a big opportunity. Obviously, though, the bottom line is that someone’s going home (insert dread emote).

AT THE THEATER:
JESSE: [Garbled.] I know you’re about to scare me somehow. (He bangs the table scooting his chair in. D grabs the table. Methinks she shoulda taken him to Arby’s…)
D: Um, I’m thinking that you did so well today that you should perform now here. There’s a big stage. There’s nobody in here.
Note: Seriously. The dude’s hairdo. He looks like Mamie Eisenhower.
JESSE: You are horrible. (Uh. And he’s a poet too…)
He gets onstage with his song. D introduces him. “Ladies and gentlemen. I give you Jesse.” Song redux. A second verse no less. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. I’m reaching for a tranquilizer gun as we speak.

JESSE’S SONG: DeAnna. You make me smile from the inside and laugh on the outside, DeAnna. You had Tommy Lasorda make fun of me and Ellen nug me, DeAnna. I hope that we can grow as one while we bask in the sun, DeAnna. I want you to know that this is real its just how I feel, DeAnna. Please don’t send me away, cuz I’ll cry on the plane, DeAnna. (Okay. So did all of the guys write more verses? Jesse’s first and last lines were the same as before but the middle is different. Could all be chopped. Assuming Jesse makes it to the Bahamas, the basking in the sun is a big foreshadow.)
JESSE VO: I feel like we have connected, but you know I haven’t really told DeAnna exactly why I want to be here (they hug) and, you know, the reason why I want this rose. You know there’s eight other dudes that want to connect with her and I’m really gonna have to step up my game for the second half of this date (helps her to her seat) to get her to understand where I’m coming from. (Shot of marquee.) (Interesting choice of words. Has to step up his game. Not open up or communicate.)

EPISODE FOUR TRANSCRIPT PART TWO

Note: D and Jesse’s entire dinner sequence is very choppy. Some sentences don’t quite fit. Sounds like they talked a lot more over dinner, but editors spliced in more of the latter part of the conversation.
D PI: Tonight is my one-on-one with Jesse. So far I’ve seen his really fun side, but I need to figure out, you know, what he wants out of life.
D: Have you ever cheated on an ex-girlfriend? (This phrasing strikes me as really odd. I would have said: “have you ever cheated on a girlfriend,” or “have you ever cheated on a woman?” Good question though.)
JESSE: I’ve never been that guy to cheat, you know if I wanted out I would just break up with that person. And move to the next step in my life.
D: You have all the good answers, I’m waiting for you to tell me something bad. Are you stubborn?
JESSE: For sure.
D: Me too.
JESSE: I noticed. I’ll never forget the first night we were here and some guys had a question and you looked at ‘em and go: “I’ll be asking the questions this evening.” (D laughs.) I was like whoa, this girl’s the real deal. (Really bad chop cut here.) And I’m not that guy to open up but I feel… I’m trying.
D: That’s all I ask.
JESSE: Yeah. For sure. I want you to know I’m into you. And when I came here I was like, I’m the last guy to fall in love. Like come on tv and fall in love, what are you kidding me? But it’s real. It’s as real as real can be. (Red flag here of Jesse’s possible evolution of falling for D. Also, their relationship seems to be getting the “real edit.” Of course, things aren’t always as real as they appear to be.)
Note: Transcribing Jesse is like transcribing a Valley Girl stuck in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
D: You… Cannot tell you enough. You’ve made an impression. I’m not typically attracted to, you know, someone like you. I’m just not. And then we talked at the first RC and I was like yup, he’s a cool dude because when you sat down and talked to me you were so real. And on that night, as huge as that night was, that’s exactly what I needed, was somebody to just be real.
JESSE: How about a little toast to, um, our relationship because I feel like we’re kinda moving maybe into that next little open area. That’s kind of intense, but at the same time I wanna have fun with it. So cheers. (Strictly my opinion, but a bit creepy when watched in real time. HIS game. HE wants to have fun with it. Not lets BOTH have fun with it.)
D: Cheers. I like that. (Insert dumbfounded emote)
JESSE: I know that I’ve been serious most of the evening. I guess it’s because every time I pick up my wine glass I ding the rose plate over there, but I want you to know that I am here because of you (grabs her hand), and I’m very serious about being here. And that obviously the rose secures me staying here to get to know you better, and that would mean the world to me (kisses her hand). And I would really greatly appreciate the opportunity to do that. (This dude could sell rattlesnakes to a petting zoo. For the record D has a very vexed look on her face. Like he’s deflated some of her control.)
PREGNANT PAUSE
Note to D from me: Let Jesse dress himself. The dude’s collar is so high on his neck that he looks like a ventriloquist dummy.
D: I was thinking that. I think that you’re right. Every moment that I get to talk to you something grows stronger and stronger (Yeah. My mistrust. Oops. I digress) between me and you and I would love the chance for you to stay and to see what kind of relationship we can build.
JESSE: That would be amazing. I would love that opportunity. (She gives him the rose.)
JESSE PI: The second that she said “will you accept this rose” it was like “oh thank god.” (Hug and peck on the cheek.)
D PI: I gave Jesse the rose because there’s something so comfortable about him. Something so at ease I don’t feel pressured to try to have a relationship with him.
JESSE: It’s like it can’t get any better. No way. It’s not possible.
D: It will. (Okay. Red flag here. Jesse saying it can’t get better and D saying it will. Jesse’s not going anywhere.)
JESSE: Somehow I believe that, and that’s what scares the crap out of me. (But not as much as it scares Graham.)
Natasha Beddingfield sings. They’re holding hands. Jesse winks at her, then asks her to dance. But he still looks like Mamie Eisenhower. Jesse says: “It was so romantic I felt swept away.”
D PI AND VO: The night was absolutely beautiful. It couldn’t be more perfect. I can see an amazing future with Jesse because I see a life that is full of love, excitement, new experiences. When I’m around Jesse I feel like I am the only woman in the world. (That’s a big statement right here. Other than Graham being “hot” this is a big ‘ol whopper of a foreshadow. Interestingly though. Was there a full-on kiss and if there was why didn’t we see it?)
Note from my SO: He noticed the date edit was very choppy, but (and I’m quoting him here) “The guy comes across as being completely disingenuous to me. He’s saying the right stuff. He’s playing the game.” My SO thought the dead giveaway was Jesse’s dinging the rose plate. He wasn’t lost in the romance—he was lost in the game, and D fell for it. (Dontcha just love the male POV?)

PROMO BEFORE BREAK:
CH VO: Up next. Who’s up for the race (Sean) and who isn’t (Brian)? And then… (Robert, Fred, and Jesse.
Note: Seriously. If you’ve got this taped watch this again. Jesse looks like a purple and yellow hobbit with a Betty Ford hairdo. Without hat head this is one scary dude. Someone really should pull a SC of this!
CH VO: …one rose, one stays, one goes. Robert and Fred fight over DeAnna.
ROBERT: She’s not gonna kiss both of us on the same night.
FRED: So you’re calling a pre-kiss pre-rose?
CH VO: Whose dream of marrying DeAnna (Robert, Fred) will end tonight? (D seeing limo off.)

SPEEDWAY DATE:
D comes up the hill with the raceway guys and goes to the bus. VelcroMan is on one side of her, Twilley on the other. In the bus she’s sitting next to Jason with her elbow close or touching Graham’s. Jeremy talks about driving stock cars. The guys enter the track looking like the astronauts from The Right Stuff. Sean talks about racing muscle cars back home with his buddies, and that he’s in his element. “I’m taking it.” (Taking the challenge maybe, but the girl? Not so much.) D makes her sexy entrance.

JASON PI: She looked cute, sweet, Southern. You don’t imagine a girl looking that beautiful in a race car outfit. She pulled it off. (Just a reminder Mr. Perfect. She’s a woman not a girl. And she’s gonna kick your butt on the track.)
D gives them instructions for the challenge. The fastest of three laps gets something special. Brian goes first, hoping to push past his fears. He has trouble starting the car. Then Jason drives. He was a bit nervous because the steering wheel was shaking. Graham next. He doesn’t even own a car. Graham’s just glad that he lived!
GRAHAM: Alright. Long as I lived through it, it’s cool.
Jeremy next.
JEREMY VO PI: Skydiving, bungee jumping, motorcycle racing. I love this stuff. If I’m on a racetrack…
JEREMY PI: …there’s a need to go as fast as I can.
JEREMY VO: You know, with DeAnna. I will go to hell and back. (Huge red flag on this one. IMHO. It’s clearly edited into the dialog, because it doesn’t really fit with what he’s saying. But a big statement nonetheless. This is a possible link to Jason calling Jesse “the devil.” And honestly, if Jeremy wasn’t getting such a possessive edit thus far that would be a strong F2 if not winner statement.)
D PI: I really thought that Jeremy was gonna win today. He was upset that he didn’t win. You can tell he’s a very competitive person.
Twilley’s next and he’s scared to death. He’s not a fan of the sport and gets motion sickness. “I’m terrified of going over the speed limit today.” Poor baby! Then he mentions that he’s going to lay it out for DeAnna. And he does take the lead. Sean’s up next.
SEAN: It’s either gonna be across the finish line or in the wall, okay?
IN THE CAR: I’m dropping the hammer, baby. I got this.
SEAN PI: [b]Bury me now. Dig my grave because I’m a happy man.[b] (Hugs D) There’s a lot more going in and just winning and beating five other the guys. I hate to be emotional and sentimental. But I’m gonna tell you. This right here means the world to me. (Yikes. That’s two death references for Sean in one ep. DEAD.MAN.WALKING.)

ON THE INFIELD:
SEAN AND D 1-1: Bringing up races, I feel like there’s a race for your heart. I do. And there is. And I feel like I’m just not in the lead. And I’m getting worried. Every time I talk to you I feel wonderful. I feel great. I feel at ease. I feel confident. It’s when I don’t get a chance to talk to you that, you know, you start to go back down to like uh oh, I’m losing that closeness. I’m losing that connection. So it is, it’s like I lot of up and down.
D: When I say I know exactly what you’re going through. I know exactly what you’re going through. I know what it’s like. You all have feelings for me and I have feelings for each and every one of you. I mean you wouldn’t still be here if I didn’t want to continue to get to know you better. That why every time we talk it’s critical, and we see if there’s a connection and we see if there’s a future there.
SEAN: I hope you see that there are a lot of the same similarities. I think coming from a small towns you really never grow out of small towns.
D mentions that she lived in Kentucky for six years with her mom before her mother passed away.
Note: Sean pulled a major faux pas not asking about her mother. Although who knows if he did and it was edited out because Jason got that airtime and they didn’t want D to sound repetitive. Jeremy too might’ve mentioned it but they chose only to show Jason’s version. If that’s the case than this spells doom for Sean and keeps Jason in the running. D’s mom is important to her. Only Jason’s been shown as astute enough to have picked that up.
SEAN: Well, I’m gonna tell you. I just feel a huge boost in confidence. I don’t know if I should, but I told you we’ve got this little Bluegrass connection that’s something that no one else can share. And plus I think we’re both a little red which is good. (D laughs). Maybe a little redneck is good.
D: Calling me a redneck?
SEAN: More a roughneck and that’s good. I just wanna say thank you. Just your time and getting a chance to get to know you and everything that you have enabled me to do here. This just means a lot.
SEAN PI: I think before this date, the race for DeAnna’s heart I must say I was one of the laggards. I was running behind, but I think after today I might have pole position. (They hug and he thanks her.)
Note from SO: The “pole position” is the prime spot in racing terms. (Color me clueless.) Who knew?
Note: Methinks the redneck/roughneck thing didn’t go down too well. And I’m really not seeing a lot of chemistry here. Hesitant body language, but I defer to Lynn on that. My gut reaction of Sean in ep one was that he came across as full of himself. Although he seems like an earnest bloke, that hit me here as well. The bravado meter went off.

BACK ON THE RACETRACK:
D gets into a car and smokes the guys by clocking the fastest mileage.
VO SOMEONE: Guys, tell me that’s not sexy.
VO SOMEONE: She is fearless.
VO SOMEONE: She’s kicking my butt.
SEAN PI: When she left rubber on the starting line, something that none of us guys even did, I was like, you know what? This is my wife. This is my wife. (Yikes. Another big red doom flag for Sean. If she looked to have chemistry with this fellow this would have big significance. But again, the bravado meter went off.)
Everyone is sitting around eating when Jeremy announces he’s going to pull D into the bus. (Jeremy’s edit is absolutely rife with interruptions. Surely the others have done this as well, but they continue to build him up with this constant Velcro-interruptus.)
JEREMY: If you guys don’t mind, I’m going to pull this all-around athlete inside (Twilley disgruntled).
JEREMY PI: I’m definitely falling for this girl. I’m not gonna lie. And if the other guys feel like, you know, I’m really (Graham) pushing too hard or being aggressive. I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman. And so I’m not gonna sit back and let someone else take my spot.

IN THE BUS:
Jeremy takes D into the bus for 1-1 time. She asks him if he had fun. He says he had a blast.
D: You got a little upset that you didn’t drive the fastest. I saw a little anger on your face.
JEREMY: I know. I’m very competitive. It sucks when I fail at something I think I should’ve done well at. (Does that include not getting the girl?)

OUTSIDE THE BUS:
BRIAN: I think Jeremy feels a little bit like he’s got to keep stepping it up (Sean, Twilley)…
TWILLEY: Right.
BRIAN: … because she’s getting to know the rest of us and realizing that he’s not the only good guy here.
TWILLEY: It makes me think about the parable about the tortoise and the hare (Brian nods). You know Jeremy can get very over-confident (Graham and Brian) and, you know, the rest of us we keep following our hearts and being ourselves… (Nice red flag here. While Twilley’s edit remains virtually invisible in regard to time with D, his statement here is key. Slow and steady wins the race. Jesse and Jason’s edits show them moving up the ranks. Jeremy took off like a banshee from day one, and Graham may be too slow to even keep up.)
TWILLEY VO AND PI: I think Jeremy is taking a position that he’s already won this thing. And he’s already married to DeAnna. And he really isn’t BLEEP. He has no… He doesn’t care.

IN THE BUS:
JEREMY TO D: I’ve been out of the house now for a few days and I miss you.
D: I miss you too.
D VO: It’s not the same.
JEREMY: I’m glad. I’m glad. It’s like I’m disconnected from you and the house and everything.
D: Well just know that I’m thinking about you, okay?
Graham bursts in. Graham? Someone dare bust in on VelcroMan? HAHAHAHAHA.
GRAHAM: Yo. Hey. I’m sorry to interrupt you guys, but can I borrow you for a minute?
D: Absolutely.
(Insert dread emote)
D thanks Jeremy and hugs him.
D PI: I have strong feelings for Jeremy. He’s made it perfectly clear that he is here for me. I have to honest… I’m really attracted to Graham (insert Florence Nightingale emote). It’s one of the most confusing situations that anyone could possibly be put in (shot of Jeremy alone in the bus). Note: In this PI D is wearing a yellow tank top. Not the same PI as with Graham, below, where she appears to be wearing the same green shirt as on the racetrack. Also what struck me about her 1-1 with Jeremy is that seems to be taking a bit of a step back. Didn’t seem as engaged. Is the Velcro starting to wear thin?
JEREMY: Just when it was getting good. (Foreshadow for Jeremy’s potential demise?)

OUTSIDE THE BUS:
D grabs Graham’s arm as they walk off (shot of Jason looking a bit forlorn. Then Brian.
D: Are you mad because I outdrove you?
GRAHAM: Not at all. I’m actually relieved for you. Then a shot of D and Graham barely holding hands. More like fingers). Jason appears to be sitting with Brian, Sean, and Twilley.
JASON: I pay attention a lot to non-verbal cues (Sean).
VO (sounds like Brian): So their body language, and touching…
JASON: Oh yeah. Huge. Huge.
JASON VO/PI: When Graham took DeAnna for their one-on-one, I was jealous.
JASON: You know, if there’s a connection there. They’re both exploring it.
JASON PI: I am definitely in the process of falling in love with DeAnna, and it sucks that DeAnna’s falling for another guy (shot of D and Graham hugging in the upper balcony)
Note: These are big red flags for both Jason’s and Graham’s edit. Jason is very observant. While I’m sure they’re all watching the body language, only Jason’s shown as astute enough to mention it. Then he admits to jealousy, which is a bit of a kink in his stellar edit. And then he says he’s falling in love. IMO this marks a definite acceleration in Jason’s edit and continues to open up the Pandora’s box that is Graham’s edit. All the guys seem very aware that D has the serious hots for Graham. But Jason explains why. This continues with the following convo:

D AND GRAHAM 1-1:
D: How you doing?
VERY AWKWARD INTERCUT. Seems cut in from later in the convo. D went from blissful to serious in one millisecond.
GRAHAM: I’m doing better. I’m doing better. I’m doing my best to take full advantage of any time that I have with you now. I mean I hope that there has been a difference. (He’s looking at her.)
D: There has been and I like it. (She strokes his arm.)
GRAHAM: But, you know, I am different than some of the other people here (D smiles).

BACK AT THE BUS:
BRIAN: What does Graham need to do? Does he need to do anything? Does he need to just keep being himself? Cuz he’s been himself more today than I’ve ever seen him before.
JASON: The conditions are a little different with Graham (Jeremy. Apparently he’s now in the convo). She seems to need to know exactly where we all are. And it seems to be okay that Graham’s not in the same place everybody else is because of a different connection. (Geez. Graham’s even getting a pass from the other guys.)

D AND GRAHAM 1-1:
GRAHAM: (D is stroking is hand.) Alright, well.
D: You’re gonna kiss me, right? She smiles sweetly. (Is it wrong for me to wanna throttle both Florence Nightingale AND the clueless wonder?)
GRAHAM (looking down at his cup): I don’t wanna be one of a bunch.
D: What? (D is immediately peeved.) Alright…
GRAHAM: I want it to be different (still not looking at her). I don’t want it to be the same (D disgruntled).
D (looking down): Alright, that’s cool.
GRAHAM: Don’t get mad.
D: I’m not. I’m hurt.
GRAHAM: You’re hurt? (D nods). Why?
DUDE. YOU JUST REJECTED HER. (INSERT STRANGLE EMOTE)
D: Cuz.
GRAHAM (with a hint of perverse satisfaction): Well maybe that’s just a little bit of what I’ve been feeling (Now he’s looking at her. He seems to look at her when her head is lowered. Somebody please make this stop.) I don’t know if you can respect that but…
D: I know exactly what you’re feeling. I don’t need you to make me feel this way. (Scratches his head and looks away.)
GRAHAM PI: Obviously I’m a little guarded because there are other guys here and I do know that I care about her. I do know I have feelings for her, but I can’t get past knowing that she shared something that I felt was very special with other people here.
D: Okay. Well let’s go back downstairs.
D PI: I don’t think that Graham is being very fair. He came into this situation knowing that he was gonna date one girl with twenty-five guys. I understand that he is scared of getting hurt. But you know what? [b]I’m scared of getting hurt with Graham. [b] (Red flag for Graham. Can she change him enough to live with him or not?)
Note: In the above PI, D appears to wearing the same green shirt as she wore on the track sans earrings.

D AND GRAHAM ON STAIRWELL:
D: You have no idea how hard it is for me. I can’t even begin to tell you right now.
GRAHAM: It remains hard for me because I know that when this few minutes that we share is over I gotta go right back to them.
D: That’s why when you and I have this time you can’t hold back.
GRAHAM: I didn’t.
D: Except for the one minute that we get together. And you know that I’m dying to kiss you.
GRAHAM: I’m not going to follow up somebody…
D: You’re not following up, and you can’t feel like that. Or else then you’re holding back. And it takes away from me and you.
GRAHAM: Well sometimes I just don’t feel like it’s just me and you.
D PI (wearing same green shirt): It’s happened before. That I’ve ended up with someone who’d in the end left me crying and broken-hearted. I will not take that same chance again.

D VO (They’re back with the guys. Graham goes for a beer): I feel a very strong connection with Graham. And he is the one person that I do not feel is putting himself completely out there. That breaks my heart (Graham looking flustered).
Note from SO after this PI: He’s screaming: “Because he wants to own you!” SO says they’re editing poor Graham to look like he’s got issues with someone else owning what is his. (SO is still focused on Graham’s possessiveness edit.) Personally, I feel bad for the guy. He seems lovely, but he’s getting the edit from hell.

*TAKING A BREAK TO GO SEE THERAPIST AND DETOX FROM GRAHAMOPHOBIA*

AT THE MANSION AND OUTHOUSE:
Fred and Robert go outside and find the datebox. In the Outhouse livingroom are Robert, Fred, and Jesse. This is the shot of Jesse described earlier. MUST.SEE.JESSE. The hair is out of control. A purple and yellow hobbit with a Betty Ford ‘do. It’s a riot.
Robert reads the card: Robert and Fred: Who has the recipe for love? Love, DeAnna. Then the second card is from CH. It reads: One rose. One stays. One goes. CH. Fred decides that the “recipe” reference favors Robert.
ROBERT PI: You know I have a bunch of recipes for love. Smooth. Rich. Succulent. (Then he makes a trilling noise that creeps me out.) (shot of he and Fred at the mansion).
ROBERT: It comes down to the chemistry problem. That’s why I think it’s gonna come down to the kiss.
FRED: The kiss?
ROBERT: I mean DeAnna’s not the kinda girl who’s gonna kiss two guys in one night. (DOH! But she is the kinda gal who won’t kiss two guys in one night. There was no way in hell Robert was getting a smooch. Woulda bet the farm on it.)
FRED PI: Robert excels in two areas, cooking and his kissing prowess I guess. He prides himself on that.
ROBERT: She’s not gonna kiss both of us on the same night.
FRED: So you’re calling a pre-kiss, pre-rose?
ROBERT: I think whoever she allows into her, motivates herself to kiss is going to be coming back to the mansion.
FRED: Wow.
FRED PI: I feel a little nervous about it. The card didn’t say a recipe for beef stew or something like that, but my recipe for love, though, I think is better than any recipe Robert has. So if it is truly a recipe for love… I’m okay. (Taking this opportunity to pay homage to Fred. The beef stew line is PRICELESS.)

IN THE MANSION?
D and the speedway guys are having drinks, preparing for someone getting a rose. Shot of Sean saying “oh god,” as D reaches for the rose, then Jeremy, Graham, and Twilley.
D PI: There is a rose on this date today (Jeremy) and obviously (Graham) there’s guys that I’ve connected (Twilley) with before that simply have not put themselves out there (Sean), and then there’s guys that came here today (still on Sean) and changed my mind almost. So those guys are definitely more (Jason) in the running for this rose than anybody else (Graham, Twilley) on this date. (Almost changed her mind! Interesting placement of Jason, Graham, and Twilley shots.)
D: When I first met this person I had one impression about him, and then tonight as I got to know him I had a different impression and it’s something that I’d like to get to know more. (She gives Sean the rose).
SEAN VO: Getting the rose tonight from DeAnna meant the world to me. I mean it was the perfect ending to a perfect date. (He and D hug; a seriously disheartened Twilley shot. Does this poor man EVER get time with D?). All along she said that she’s looking for a Southern gentleman. I think she’s finally found one (Jason). (Yeah. She found one. His name’s Graham. Sorry. Couldn’t help it…)
JASON VO/PI: I think I’m definitely in jeopardy right now. DeAnna and I had a connection on our one-on-one date but that connection we had could get lost.
BRIAN VO/PI: I feel like today was sort of that day of reckoning, like I’m on the outside of this house looking in, literally. (Welcome to the House of Your Pain, big guy.)
TWILLEY VO/PI: When it’s down to this few people I could be going home, and that’s tough, that’s really tough. It’s hard on your heart (very pensive shot of Twilley. Many of these throughout the ep. Very sad.)

PROMO BEFORE BREAK
CH VO: Shot of Jesse and D with Brian behind them wearing the “Home Wrecker” shirt. Coming up. It’s party at the Outhouse (Sean, Brian) that turns into a nightmare (Graham).
D VO: I’m really really (Robert) upset right now (Sean, Jason, Jeremy). I know how hard it is to know I’m going on dates with other guys (Jeremy upset, Brian), that I’m kissing other guys. I know exactly what you feel but I’m the one here trying to figure things out and if you guys can’t handle it (Jason) go home.
CH VO: And then… (shot of Robert wanting to kiss D)
ROBERT: Can I kiss you?
D: Oooo. Maybe here. (Turns her cheek for him to kiss. Geez. I’m embarrassed for him.)
CH VO: … it’s the most shocking date ever.
D: I got led on by Brad (Robert) and I cannot bring myself to lead you on (Fred).

[PiperMaru]

EPISODE FOUR TRANSCRIPT PART THREE

AT THE OUTHOUSE
Jesse’s napping in a chair. Jeremy is tidying up. Jesse says that they need to do something today because he’s tired of sitting around the Outhouse.
JEREMY: We need to put something together. We need to throw a little party or something.
Note to MikesGirl: It does indeed look to be Jeremy’s idea. Good call! If it was, that was a shrewd move IMHO. Jeremy will do anything to keep D in close proximity. He likely wasn’t worried about Fred or Robert, but he didn’t want Jason getting the edge.
JESSE: Graham are you in, throw a party or something?
GRAHAM: Yeah, that sounds great.
The guys proceed to put together the kid’s table chairs and prep for a party.
JEREMY PI: DeAnna does love to plan dates for us. I’m thankful for that. So we decided that we would plan a little party and invite DeAnna and the rest of the guys that are up at the mansion down to the Outhouse. The idea was everyone come down here and hang out with DeAnna in a setting where we’re all relaxed and free and there’s no date rose on the line.

AT THE MANSION:
D answers the door and finds the invite in front of the door. She tells the mansion boys to get dressed. Robert confesses that moving into the mansion was a relief, but that going down to the outhouse sucks. D yells: “I’m home boys” as they come down the hill. Jesse hugs her first, then Jeremy, and Sean. D says that it’s the perfect time to talk to the guys before deciding who to give the next roses to.

AT THE OUTHOUSE:
The outhouse boys then give the mansion boys aprons, a chef hat for Robert, and then show them to the kiddie table. Robert ain’t happy about his name card or having to cook and tosses the kiddie chair over his head and onto the hillside.
JEREMY: Robert I can say was not too fond of the name card (Robert tosses the chef hat and says “I can’t do this.”) (Shrewd move Jeremy. Your plan and name card helped the guy have a meltdown.)
ROBERT: The other guys were definitely hating. Going into tonight’s two-on-one date. I’m almost as nervous as the first night I first met DeAnna. I was mentally out of it when I popped out of bed this morning.
D’s standing with Jesse and Jeremy and wants to play.
D PI: I did feel a little awkward. I almost felt like I didn’t fit in right away. The party was kinda weird from the start. Brian is perfectly content hanging out with the guys. Sean is turning back to his old ways. Robert is hanging out by himself. (Can’t make out what Robert’s drinking.) Twilley’s just being Twilley.
Note: No mention here of Jesse, Jeremy, Jason, Graham, or Fred. Had she actually felt something for Fred, he might well have been up there with the big boys IHO. But it seems clear that Brian keeps getting sacked for being more interested in the guys than her, and that comment can’t bode well for Sean. And poor Twilley. He’s so pensive this entire ep that they seem to be telling us he’s given up the ghost. Twilley’s story arc likely begins and ends in one ep. :cry

D approaches Jason and asks him to roll the sleeves up on her new t-shirt. Shot of Graham not happy.
HERE WE GO AGAIN. (Such a rollercoaster… Graham is kicking my butt here…)
GRAHAM PI: DeAnna being with other people here right in front of me is difficult. I understand what it’s like to be on a one-on-one date with DeAnna, and so being in a group setting is very difficult for me.
Note from my SO: He’s yelling at Graham to “get a grip.”
GRAHAM VO: It’s not easy to approach her, and I don’t feel comfortable in a situation like this. (Could be a splice from anywhere.)
D PI/VO: I’m still thinking about the stuff that happened between Graham and myself at the speedway, so I would really like to talk to him and figure out what’s going on, but Graham’s pretty much avoiding me. I felt so unbelievably disappointed. Note: This part of the VO doesn’t match the rest of the PI, plus the tenses aren’t the same. It goes from present to past.

Poor Fred in the chef’s hat is doing all the cooking. Robert is nowhere to be found. Someone says he’s laying down and that he’s really stressed. Hard to tell in this scene who’s saying what, but Jesse’s in the middle of the fray.
VO SOMEONE: Robert’s blowing it. Where is Robert? (Shot of Jesse gnawing on a chicken leg. Apparently, nothing seems to be bothering Mr. Resilient.)
D goes inside to find Robert. Shot of the Grahaminator sitting in a chair watching her pass by. (No worries. He’ll be back…)

IN THE DINING ROOM:
She finds Robert at a table and asks him what’s going on.
D: Don’t be scared. Just tell me. Cuz I’m real upset. I’m real upset right now. I left my house with the three of you all. We could’ve hung out by our pool [garbled] and we come down here, you run inside, half the guys run inside, and I’m hanging outside by myself.
ROBERT: My mind’s reeling right now. (Due to drink, insanity, or the fact that she’s got the hots for Graham?)
D: What?
ROBERT: Just that, you know. You may feel that you already have your top three kinda picked out. (Ruh roh)
D: Who told you that? Cuz I’ve never said that to anyone. So if the guys are talking about that, that’s just their own opinions.
ROBERT PI: Obviously I’d want to stay because I feel I have chemistry with her. Unfortunately, I think at this point that the frontrunner is Jeremy and Graham.
ROBERT TO D: I’m getting emotionally attached and to hear what I heard when I came down here.
D: Can you tell me what you heard?
ROBERT: Just that it would be very unwise for me to go into tonight with the mindset that I was going to go into tonight with which is…
D: Somebody told you that? Somebody said that it would be wrong for you to going into tonight with a mindset that you and I would make it.
ROBERT: No, I’m just regurgitating it and the way that I took it. You know…
D tells him to go outside with her. And she’s rather “mommy-like” stern with him. This convo is just wacknut.

Note: A few thoughts before going to the outburst. Was anyone actually messing with Robert’s head or was he is own worst egomaniacal enemy? In his PI he mentions Jeremy and Graham as frontrunners. Clearly he’s not gotten over his issues with Jeremy. Another thought. And this could apply to Jason, Fred, or Robert. Did the fact that D was so quick to want to go to the outhouse lead them to believe that she was really wanting to see Jeremy and/or Graham? Jason said earlier he felt he was in jeopardy. Robert finally made it to the mansion only to get dragged back down. And Fred. He’s just as good natured as he can be. Stayed out of the fray but got caught in the crossfire. Graham filled the pot. Robert stirred it. And D didn’t like the ingredients.

D’s treatment of Robert here and her outburst are curious. Was she furious over Graham’s refusing to kiss her at the speedway and her failed attempts at molding him? Was she annoyed by the male bonding and the fact that she graced them with her presence and no one treated her like a princess? The edit is showing Graham to be jealous, possessive, and somewhat unwilling to give up control. The edit isn’t showing D giving up control to anyone. The closest she’s come is Jason. She’s in command of her dates. The bbq was out of her control and she didn’t like it. When the outburst is done, it’s Jeremy doing the talking and the finger pointing. He defends her, but at the same time she seemed a little too pleased during two PI’s that he’s a loyal little puppy. So far, the edit’s showing that Graham is her experiment, Jeremy’s her safety net, Jesse’s her wildcard, and Jason could well be her comfort zone. He seems the only one who the edit is downplaying and the dark horse who the guys aren’t as yet considering a frontrunner.

OUTSIDE:
Drums start playing in the bg. The guys are gathering and they take a seat. D is crying.

THE OUTBURST:
D: I’m really really upset right now (Robert, Jesse) Cuz right now I should be the happiest person in the world and you’re all breaking my heart (Jason). Okay? You all feel good about that? (Interesing cut on Jason.)
VO OC: No, of course not.
VO (Sounds like Robert): I’m sorry. (Jeremy, Brian).
D: I came down here to today wanting to hang out (Jason, Jesse) with all of you all. If you don’t want to hang out, go home (Fred). This is not a joke (Robert). When I say I know what you’ve all gone through, I know exactly what you’ve all gone through. I know how hard this is. I know hard it is to know that I’m going on dates with other guys. That’s I’m kissing other guys. I know exactly what you feel. But I’m the one here trying to figure things out, and if you can’t handle it (Jeremy, Brian) go home. (D crying).
Note: Check out these camera shots. Very interesting, eh?
ROBERT: Honestly, I went inside to try to get my mind right.
D: I’m not speaking just to you. I’m speaking to everyone, okay. But I am disappointed (Robert) that you’re sitting inside when you have a date with me tonight. I put 100 percent into this every day. I try my hardest (Graham) to let you into me (still on Graham). This is not fair (back to Graham). I can’t promise you all the world (Robert). I can’t promise that I’m not gonna make connections with the guys, and I can’t promise that I’m not gonna kiss other people (Robert, Twilley). But all that I can promise is that when I’m with you I’m focusing on you, okay? (Robert)
ROBERT: I’m sorry.
D: I’m going to my house now. You guys can all stay here and hang out.
Note: In slo-mo, it looks like a few of them are going after her. Twilley in the lead, Jeremy, Jason, Fred, and Graham. Jesse, with beer in hand, walks the other direction toward the wading pool. Oh. And Robert is just so DEAD.MAN.WALKING.

THE AFTERMATH
JEREMY PI: Today was supposed to be a lot of fun. It just backfired on us. (Jeremy, G
