The Aftermath

[sandyshoes]

Now isn't it possible that during the FRC DeAnna has chosen (in her heart) Jason, but does not accept a proposal from him, just offers an opportunity to continue on "in real life" in order to be fair to both Jason & Ty? Then in the interim between the taping of the FRC and the MTA airing, DeAnna and Jason become engaged, hence her announcement during the MTA?

I think a lot of the buzz about Jesse being F1 that has been spinning around the boards recently is nothing more than that- SPIN! Sure to be expected during this tumultuous last week.

I'm not personally that invested in DeAnna's happiness, but I feel that TPTB have engaged us all in a romantic progression with Jason and DeAnna that would alienate a lot of viewers if it were to fall flat at the FRC ending... I like Jason & Jesse, but would have a difficult time accepting that Jesse is suddenly reconciled to marriage when just a few weeks ago he was in a far different place. I didn't feel that DeAnna really seemed all that comfortable with Jesse on any of their dates. JMO, naturally... She seemed totally at ease with Jason, however.

My guess, since I obviously have no "insider knowledge"- Jason is F1 and now engaged to DeAnna.

Shayne has always said on her myspace blog, do not believe the rumors if they were to breakup you would hear it from her first. Also she post a reminder to all my myspace friends to watch the AFRC on Monday. Matt had a similar message on his Facebook.

Wouldn't surprise me, however, I did go to In Touch magazine which the poster referenced and couldn't find a reference that they (M&S) had broken up.

I think the fact that Jason got a more obvious edit, and had the attention of and appeal to more viewers (because he's a sweet, loving single dad and people saw how heartwrenching it was for him to be away from his son) allowed for it to look like he was F1, whereas the "love story" with Jesse built much slower, and was much more hidden...as well as the fact that it was clouded by Jesse having a bolder, less conventional personality that initially gave some viewers a negative impression of him. If you didn't have Jason picked as the winner (as I did not), then I think it is much easier to see the Jesse-story building. He got her attention instantly---FIB---she was intrigued. He lived in the big house the first week, so she got a chance to know him and they became friends---she was still intrigued. He won all the early competitions---she was further intrigued. He wowed her on the dirtbike---she was more than intrigued, she found him "hot" and wanted him to kiss her. Around the same time (dirtbike ep) I think Jesse had it hit him that he was really starting to fall for DeAnna too---prior to that I think he was just in the whole thing to see what happened---to have the experience---and was enjoying getting to know her. Not sure what the "OMG" moment was for him, but I think it happened on that group date, because when she is sitting with him at the pool, and she is giving all the "i want him to kiss me now" vibes, he is so nervous he can't shut himself up---there are pauses in the conversation and he knows he could lean in and kiss her and she would respond well, but he can't bring himself to do it---you don't get that nervous about kissing someone you aren't falling for---you only get that kind of nervous when you realize it is someone you care about. The HTD once again showcased Jesse in his element---she was again intrigued---he's a wild man on the slopes, he's a kind and gentle teacher, he has a ridiculously organized kitchen (sorry, folks I couldn't resist), he has fabulously sweet parents, including a wonderful dad who Jesse himself says is "a glimpse of what he'll turn out like in 30 years". When they finally kiss they both really wanted it---it wasn't a "hmmm, I guess we should kiss now" moment---it was a culmination of wanting to kiss one another for some time. On the FD Jesse shows vulnerability, openness, and yet he totally freaks her out with his "I'm not sure I can until I meet your dad" line about the FS card---he freaks her out, in a way she finds intriguing once again. Jesse at this point is smitten with her---no one is more surprised than him that they are falling for one another, yet they are. So where does that leave us? Yes, DeAnna has been shown to have a connection with Jason, but first of all it has been so elaborately detailed here I don't think I could even do it justice. What I have seen is that she liked him initially, and wanted to get to know him better, so she did. She felt safe with him, and nurtured by him, and this drew her to him. She was very stressed by the process of the show and he made her feel comforted (most glaring example would be the night she let Fred and Robert go---he was there for her with open ears and open arms). She grew more attached to him, because he provided her with things she needed, she found him sweet in a way that I don't think she has been treated by men in her past. (Jeremy was also providing her with comfort, compassion, and support during this time---I think the two of them really helped her get through the process of this show---again, I don't think she is used to having these "giving, loving" types of men in her romantic life---but as soon as Jeremy said he was falling in love with her, she let him go---was the challenge gone? was the intrigue gone? did she just not feel the romantic connection? [i have to add I find the lack of connection to be hard to swallow seeing as she took him to the FS,even though it seems she had already decided to let him go, but that's JMO]. On the HTD DeAnna fell in love with Ty, and with Jason's family---no question about that---the big loving family complete with the loving mother-figure she so desperately misses having in her own life (and that's not a criticism of DeAnna, in any way)---but I don't know that it drew her any closer to Jason. If anything it may have underscored for her that Ty is the center of Jason's universe, as he well deserves to be---and if she chooses Jason, she will have to fall into orbit him, with Ty as the center of the universe---she won't be the central focus of that relationship, no matter how much Jason tries. Yes, she has a wonderful time on their FD, yes she likes him, yes, she may even love him---but he doesn't give her the rush she gets from Jesse. Jason is warm and comforting and loving, but Jesse is exciting and unexpected and "she can't imagine not having him in her life". We've been shown 2 love stories. Three if you count Jeremy's "perfect guy" edit---where she says he is everything she wanted, but she wanted something else more...and 4 if you count Graham's "smokin' hot---he's the one I thought I was falling in love with" edit, where she really wants him, but he can't give her what she wants, so she decides to break out of her habit of wanting what she can't have and look at what she has right in front of her instead. JMO as someone who has tried, desperately, to watch each of the contestants and judge their edits on their own, and not in the context of the boards or my personal favorites.

cheekychook, that's exactly how I feel at this point Thank you for expressing so well what I've been thinking over the last couple of days
I was able to let go of Jeremy not being De's chosen one and I hope that DeJay fans get the same closure as well
Thanks you for sharing your thoughts

This is a matter of public record. Anyone can look it up. You can find anyone's real estate license or recorded house deed, marriage/divorce or a variety of other PUBLIC records. NOT private info.....

I'm not personally that invested in DeAnna's happiness, but I feel that TPTB have engaged us all in a romantic progression with Jason and DeAnna that would alienate a lot of viewers if it were to fall flat at the FRC ending...

My guess, since I obviously have no "insider knowledge"- Jason is F1 and now engaged to DeAnna.

Just my two cents---on his HTD Jesse says something to the effect that he doesn't think he's ready to get married in 2 weeks---or something to that effect---if his feelings for DeAnna did evolve and intensify (particularly if those feelings were being returned by her) then he could have ammended that statement---he might still not be ready to get "married" in 2 weeks, but he may have become ready to become "engaged" in 2 weeks---add to that the fact that IF Jesse is F1 he could have given her the ring as a promise to see where things go...and the engagement could have become official around the time of the MTA---which would have given them close to 2 months to decide if engagement was something they were both ready for. Again...JMO, no facts to offer.

If she thought he might be f1 he sure would have wanted to stay. He probably kept him as long as she thought he could be the one for her. What's wrong with that?

Now if she knew that Jesse was the One all along than she was certainly in the wrong. Jason is the one who created the situation and expected to be treated just like anyone else. Posters expected her to disreguard the fact that he had a child and judge him on his own merits. What is to say that this exact thing didn't happen, but when it got down to the final choice it just wasn't Jason. He took that risk, just like everyone else.

I've never cared for D, didn't watch Brad's show, didn't watch much of D's, but honestly, I don't get this: What could Dee have done differently other than discrimate against Jason because he's a dad? Why don't you think Dee was attracted to Jason, but just not enough to spend her life with him? It happens all the time in real life and this is Dee's real life.

I have been saying this same thing until I'm blue in the face, but it gets nowhere. She kept Jason as long as he was a serious contender. I still haven't gotten a good answer from anyone as to what Deanna should have done differently regarding Jason if she was still considering him as a potential F1 until the end. I don't think Jason would have WANTED to go home after already spending all that time away if she was still considering him a possibility, would he?

I laugh at this myself - because just a couple of days later he is telling D that if he is the one that she better be ready to get married LOL - who is he being honest with?!?!? Not himself that is for sure.
