Bachelorette 4 Media thread

[cupcakes]

How did you feel when Jeremy first expressed how he felt about you?
I was so glad that Jeremy finally opened up. I saw him change as a person. The only problem was that when he said that he was in love with me, I realized that I didn’t feel the same way. I was not in love with him, and that was the hardest part for me. When I went through this process, Jeremy was everything that I was looking for in a man.

Do you still wear the sand dollar necklace that Jason handed to you?
I still have it.

What moment did you know that Jason could possibly win your heart?
It had to be in his home town. When I saw him with his son, I just fell in love in that moment. It was one of the cutest children you’ve ever seen in your whole life, and to see him be a father and be with his family was just beautiful.

What has been the most exciting or most memorable moment in the show up until last night’s episode?
It’s always exciting, I have a hard time picking just one. I would have to pick the first night when I met all of the guys and got the first impressions. You look back now and after getting to know them, some are different, some are the same, and some you’re surprised that you looked over the first night.

How much fun did you have in the Bahamas?
It was beautiful. The water was crystal clear and you could see straight to the bottom of the ocean. It was gorgeous.

What were some of the things that the viewers didn’t see from the Bahamas?
Well everything that we got to do, you saw. It was a lot of fun. The date with Jessie that you’ll see next week is actually really funny. We spent that entire day on that island and got kind of stranded. And in the date that you see with Jason was fun too because it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

What are you doing with your spare time now that you’re done with the show?
I’ve been spending lots of time with my fiancé.

Well........ I have finally gotten to see the whole show I have to say that Jason is one of THE classiest guys that has ever been on that show. I am actually glad that they didn't show his whole proposal - tho Jason says that it was disrespectful - which I agree and believe it was - I really think it would have been that much harder for him. I was very saddened by how truly hurt he was and still is by what happened and how it happened.

After seeing D and her betrothed - and their behavior - they deserve each other - they both seem to be very immature and I am not so sure that what we are seeing is the real thing - but ooo well. D certainly is not what she was portrayed to be on the 2 shows.

I really would not want to see Jason as a Bachelor - just from watching these shows - they always seem to get bashed and trashed - no matter how good - or bad - they have been. I certainly hope that Jason is able to move on from this experience - lesson learned - and really find true happiness of his own.

So, DeAnna still has the sand dollar necklace? OK.

Right, just cover your eyes, spin around with your fingers pointed and where you stop, he will do.

The Morning After: Jason Talks About Life After The Bachelorette

Just got off the conference call with Jason and a bunch of reporters. The Access Hollywood reporter practically crawled through the phone and wrote her number on his arm. Seriously, she was like, "call me." Other highlights:

On being the new Bachelor: "I haven't been approached on it at all. I'm just back to my regular life. If they asked me, it's something I'd consider."

On dating since he taped the show: "I've been smothering and being smothered by my little boy. If there's any date, it's just with my 3-year-old munchkin. I am in a place where I could start dating again, but to be honest, I don't even know how right now."

On giving son Ty dating tips when he's older: "I have no idea how to date right now. I'll be asking him for tips. I think I can learn a lot from that little guy."

On keeping a poker face at the office: "Every single person has assumed that I did very well, and secondly, I think everybody really thought that she picked me. I haven't been into the office yet this morning, but I think they'll be shocked."

On having to keep the outcome of the show secret: That was horribly hard. Everybody around me knows how transparent I am. I did a good enough job of being happy, so it might have thrown people off, but it was really tough for me."

On getting closure: "I think the final closure was to see them happy together. The connection they had was absolutely love and a look that she gave him that she never gave to me. I need to have that in my life. We all deserve that in life."

On his ex-wife's reaction to the show: "I'm sure she had some struggles with it. I'll say the one thing I know about her that might be similar to DeAnna -- what they both seem to want in life is something a little different from what I am. Like a snowboarder, or in her case, something a little bit different. I think DeAnna and her might fall in that same category."

On getting cast on The Bachelorette: "I had seen my friend Bevin on the show. I've known Bevin for 10 years. I was thinking, I could do that. I sent in an email and never heard anything for a year. Casting called me and left a message, I thought it was a joke. Literally the next day, Bevin was up here and I ran into her. I hadn't seen her for five years. So they called me up, and I ran into Bevin, and it was DeAnna -- so I was in."

On staying friends with Jesse and DeAnna: "Absolutely. They are two wonderful people. [Of the guys], I got to know Jesse one of the best and he's a wonderful guy. They show us as very different people, but I think Jesse and I are very similar in how we look at the world and how we care about people. Jesse and I will be friends forever."

On body armor: "The body armor is down, and I'm ready to date again."

And personally, I think it's a silly statement to make in the first place. A child HAS to be one of the determining factors of being with a single parent. You have to make that choice, that decision of whether or not you can be in that child's life and stick. It's like Cuba Gooding said, you don't shoplift the pootie from a single parent.

She had to say that because the interview was prior to the finale.
