DeAnna Pappas - Bachelorette 4 (Part 2) - Page 6

I think DeAnna got more than she bargained for in this show. She had men who were beyond her in terms of maturity. I think she is drawn to men who are laid back and let her "run the show". I think she needs more time to truly know herself. I also think she is somewhat confused about the nature of true love, but perhaps we all are at age 26. I do believe De loves Jesse, I hope her heart is not broken once again by a man who is not fully invested in her. Questions still remain about his intentions for going on the show (sponsorships, etc).

I am happy De is big enough to acknowledge Brad had a hard situation on his hands. I guess we all must acknowledge as much. These are real people, and they just do the best they can, the way we all do, every day. Fairytale endings are rare in this world, but much more rare, actually, on TB show. What I do appreciate is that, for a few hours, we get to experience all the ups and downs of falling in love once again. Even when the ending is sad, unexpected, less than real, or whatever. . . we can all be glad we "met" these people.

But I doubt we'll hear that kind of humility from most of her venomous supporters.

I never understood why Brad took DeAnna to the final two in his season. I found her to be fake from the beginning, and nothing has happened to change my mind.

I always thought Brad got a raw deal in his season. He was contractually obligated to finish out the season. Just because he wasn't feeling enough to make an honest commitment to any of the girls on his season, didn't mean he could back out. I respect him for following his heart, and not the desires of the viewing public or the producers.

All I ask from this season of The Bachelorette is that we not be subjected to all of the crap we had to go through following Trista's season. Even though I am no more likely to watch any of the subsequent shows than I was to watch The Bachelorette, the commercials for the spin offs alone, will drive me nuts.

Just watched the finales and ATFR. De seems really happy, good for her, she got what she wanted and found her guy. Jesse is a cutie. Gotta admit they have chemistry, even though I thought she'd choose Jason.

Most glad that she closed the Brad chapter by saying she felt for him. She's grown, found love and can move on.

Just have to add my two cents about the maturity level of a 26 year old woman (or man). When I was 26, I had a full time job, was going to college part-time at night and got married. My husband was also working full-time and going to school nights. Many of the people in the business world we place we each worked in were in similar situations. I don't get how DeAnna can't be expected to be "mature enough," to know what real love is, or what life is about, or whatever the other comments were, at age 26.

It just bothers me. I would not have liked to be considered not mature enough to know my own mind at that age.

Sorry. Just had to vent.

Thanks.
