I am a rookie - ABC Medianet has new pictures posted for 7/7 episode. Hopefully there are some connections somewhere out there!

What an insightful interview from Graham. I always liked him, and I like him even more now. I think he answered all the rumours about whether or not he left on his own - sounds like he would have liked to stay longer but that they came to a fairly mutual agreement on the bench at his HTD. Whether or not the VO where he says "well good luck then" took place at that exact time or not, it seems very appropriate for the moment, but also very sad. I think when he said that they weren't on the same timeline, is probably the most true statement he could have made. I'm sure he'll find a wonderful women out of all this and he'll be able to take his time doing it!!

Graham certainly did put some rumors to rest.

I just read an interview by Graham on Google and there's some interesting things he had to say on there. Paraphrasing.. He thought it was fair for them to edit him as being closed off to her about his feelings because that's what happened on the show. Again, he states that he was not falling in love with her but had feelings for her. He said that when she was crying in front of him he knew it hurt her but he knew it was best they both go their seperate ways and that it was very mutual and more mutual than we've been shown. He was also prepared to propose if he had to.. and he also wants to date someone Just search Google then The Bachelorette if you want to read the whole thing.

Interview with Graham from NY Magazine

Questions for Spurned ‘Bachelorette’ Star Graham Bunn -- Daily Intel -- New York News Blog -- New York Magazine

Questions for Spurned ‘Bachelorette’ Star Graham Bunn
Graham Bunn, still a Bachelor.

We’ll admit it. We, like, totally love ABC’s The Bachelorette. There’s just something about watching 25 guys bow down before a hot, assertive woman that stirs our inner feminist. And we think DeAnna Pappas, the real-estate agent from Georgia who’d had her heart broken by Brad Womack on season eleven of The Bachelor, is really boss. She’s been brutally efficient at sending the duds home — she even got rid of both men she’d taken on a two-on-one date. And she’s had the guys do stock-car racing and four-wheeling and kicked their asses each time.
Speaking of the stock-car race, it was during that episode that one particular bachelor, Graham Bunn, caught our attention. “Are you nervous?” DeAnna asked. “I don’t even own a car!” he said. “I live in Manhattan so I just take the subway every day.” Aw! One of our own! Plus, he comes off as moody, prone to jealousy, commitment-phobic, and emotionally stunted, just like every guy we’ve dated in this town. How could you not root for him?

Then lo and behold, Graham — who we might mention is ridiculously hot — emerged as a front-runner. (We like to think it's because DeAnna wanted to move here.) He was the only guy who made DeAnna schoolgirl giddy. But they argued a ton and she sent him home on the latest episode for an inability to talk about his feelings. It was a heartbreaker of a good-bye, with DeAnna crying and saying that she was sending home the one person she thought she was falling in love with, and Graham giving her a note "for you and you alone, not for any show, not for any person but you." On Tuesday, they'll have their first meeting since the show on "The Men Tell All" reunion special. Jada Yuan caught up with Graham to find out what happened the night he was dismissed, and whether he's free now to date the rest of us.

Did you watch the episode where you got dismissed?
Yes, I have seen that one. Heh-heh. I watched it with a few friends and, um, it went as well as can be expected, you know. That was a difficult episode to choose to watch.

How’d you feel about your depiction?
Well, obviously I am depicted as a very closed-off person, which I don’t think is entirely true. But in that situation, yes, I thought it was very fair that they depicted me in that manner, because with DeAnna I was very closed off to her.

What did you think when she said she was falling in love with you?
Um, it was a little painful. I felt like I had hurt her, and that's something that you never want to do with anyone, let alone someone who you spent the past few weeks with.

Were you falling for her?
I was not falling in love with her, no. But I did have strong feelings for her.

Then she started bawling in front of you. What went through your head then?
I knew that it hurt at the moment, but that everything was going to be for the best. She and I both knew it. It was more mutual than you will ever see.

Why did you go on the show in the first place?
You know, because it was an opportunity to meet a girl that had the backing of an entire network. And when you go out to meet people you go on referrals of friends and families. And if you know an entire network is going to base an entire multi-million-dollar show on someone, you would imagine that that person would just be an unbelievable person to have in your life. I was excited to meet her.

Had you seen The Bachelor?
I’d actually never seen an episode of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette before I went on the show.

Were you prepared to propose in two weeks?
Yeah, definitely. But, see, you go into the show prepared for the concept of marriage, but the variable in that is you don’t know the person when you go into it. And there were quite a few concerns that I had with her, and I’m sure she had just as many with me.

I find it totally weird that she never talks about what she does for a living.
She never does. She was just pretty content to talk about her feelings — 120 percent of the time.

Did you ever talk about her life and her job?
You know, she and I talked about … mostly how I felt about her. [Laughs] I’m sure we talked about music sometimes. But, no, the time that you are given it’s pretty much revolving around the concept of the show and the relationship and where you are in the process and how you’re dealing with that. We didn’t talk day-to-day details too much, which is obviously kind of disturbing if you’re going to marry someone in that short period of time.

Overall are you happy with how it came out?
I’m content with how it came out. I think a lot of my personality doesn’t shine through. And I am a little bit disappointed that the show cut all of that out and turned it into, “She was just unbelievably physically attracted to me.” I just think that’s a little demeaning.

What do you think of dating in the city?
It’s interesting. There’s quite a bit of turnover. There’s a lot of people here, and I work nights, so it’s difficult sometimes to maintain a social life when you’re working four or five nights a week. But I’ve been very blessed. I’ve dated quite a few very nice girls and we’re still friends to this day. You know, it was difficult, knowing that if you were dating someone on that show and it didn’t work out that you more than likely would not be friends because she’d probably be marrying a person that you hung out with.

You can’t be friends with someone who marries a guy that you know?
No. Out of respect for the guy that I know, I would imagine that would probably make him a little bit uneasy. If anyone watches the show, DeAnna and I obviously have a connection that doesn’t translate to “just friends.”

Now on the show it says you’re a pro basketball player, but that’s not true anymore, right?
Right. Not anymore. I actually played professionally in Germany for a while but ended up breaking my hand pretty bad, which put an end to that. And now I’m in the city and I’m a partial owner of two bars in midtown and I model on the side and am just trying to find my way and find my niche and find a little direction in my life.

What bars do you own?
Calico Jack’s and McFadden’s, on 42nd and Second. There are several investors and owners, and I own a small percentage, but it’s still pretty cool to have your name attached to it.

Do you meet girls in your bar?
No, no. Obviously you meet girls in your bar, but I try never to date anyone that I meet at the bar.

So what’s on the dating horizon for you now?
Well, there’s someone that I have in mind here that I would not mind asking to dinner in the next few weeks.

Where would you take a girl on a date in New York?
Freemans is my favorite restaurant in the city. For a first date it’s great. The food’s good, and the setting’s nice. And I’m a big fan of the house band at Café Wha?, the cover band they have on Friday nights. That’s a lot of fun for someone I’d been dating for a while. Maybe not a first date.

Do you think the show can work?
Yeah. I definitely think the show can work. It didn’t work for me. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. I hope that she finds love, and I hope that it works for her in the end. But DeAnna and I in that process just weren’t made for long term.

Interesting Q & A's.

Then she started bawling in front of you. What went through your head then?
I knew that it hurt at the moment, but that everything was going to be for the best. She and I both knew it. It was more mutual than you will ever see.

I'd love to know exactly what he meant by that. I hate cryptic messages!!

I took it to mean that there is truth to him asking to leave. I'm sure we will never know the real meaning behind that statement though

This was the best Graham interview! I liked his answer as to why he went on the show in the first place.
