The Sky is Blue. Water is Wet. DeAnna and Jesse call off their Engagement.
Man, I love being right. Especially when DeAnna’s minions came running to my comment board a couple weeks ago when I made a rather harmless comment about how weird I thought their website was. How they constantly talked about how in love they were, and kept us up to date on all their appearances, etc. Gee, I guess that’s all for naught now, huh? Why don’t you people listen to me? Seriously. How long have I been covering this show? And how many freakin’ times have I told you NEVER to buy into the end result. I love, love, love how those commenters a few weeks ago were so sure that these two were in love, and I was just bitter, and they were the best couple ever. Well, what can I say? You people are idiots. Sorry. What do you have to say for yourself now? Exactly. Nothing. That’s ok. I really never understood in the first place why, if you hate my column so much, and hated my opinion on DeAnna and Jesse why you would waste any time in your day to post a comment? No one’s forcing you to come to my site. No one’s forcing you to read my brilliance. Just because you thought they were cute together had no bearing on whether or not they stayed together. That’s the point you seemed to miss. DeAnna proved herself to be a fraud. She’s completely out for herself, wants to be part of Hollywood, and cut Jesse off the minute she realized he can’t further her career. And you think I’m the only one who has these opinions? Not quite. How about Chris Harrison, who probably knows her pretty well at this point wouldn’t you think? Here’s what Host Chris said yesterday:
“DeAnna has been getting bad advice from people like paparazzi guys, and other people that she’s been running into that have filled her head with, you know, these dreams that she’s going to come to Hollywood and make it big and do all this stuff. And I think her head’s getting a little bigger than it should and I think that’s led to this as well.” Ouch. Yeah, she was totally into Jesse.
Think that’s not a good enough attack on her character? How about what Jesse said:
“The only time she was touchy feely with me was around the cameras.” Great girl. Sure she’s not out looking to make it in Hollywood. This woman seems totally grounded and not bitten by the Hollywood bug at all.
How about the fact that she dropped the “I love you, but I’m not in love with you” line on him? WHAT???!!! This is the same exact girl, that for every appearance we saw these two since the show ended, was gushing about how in love she was, she’d found her soulmate, on and on and on all this nonsense became when we all knew it would end. Look, I know people break up. It happens. But for someone as overtly confident as she was that this was the man of her dreams, and the father of her children, and her soulmate, to just out and out dump the guy after 6 months together pretty much shows you what type of woman she is. Basically what I’ve been saying from Day 1 with her. A publicity hound who wants to have a career in Hollywood and will step on as many toes as she can to do it.
So not only did she dump him at the airport when he was picking up her bags, but she even leaked it to the press before it was supposed to be:
“She told some of our business associates today first… I didn’t know this had been released today. We had agreed after she broke up with me… that we would put together a statement and have it released.” Oops. Yeah, let me guess, it just slipped, right DeAnna? Fraud. I don’t like basking in other peoples misfortunes, well, yes I do, but I actually feel bad for this guy. Got totally used by this chick, and now he’s getting embarrassed nationally.
Here’s one of my favorite parts. Jesse says that DeAnna told him she wanted to move to Los Angeles and was unwilling to go to counseling with him. She told him, “I’m not willing to try anymore”. Wow. Where do I begin? First off, she told him she wanted to move to Los Angeles. No, not surprising since that’s kinda where you need to live if you want to be in the entertainment industry. But wasn’t this the same chick, that in EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW since the show ended, kept talking about how she needed to be close to family, and they were going to spend some time in Atlanta, and some time in Colorado? Nice. A liar too.
And she’s not willing to try anymore? You mean, the man of your dreams, your future soulmate, the greatest guy in the world that you gushed over in every interview, suddenly after six months you gave up on? You see what I’m getting at here? She was NEVER into Jesse from the moment she accepted his proposal. She was into the idea of TV, and magazine shoots, and potential job opportunities. For christ sakes, her own fiance admitted that the only time she would be affectionate with him was when the cameras were on? What more proof do you need?
If you haven’t seen it already, here’s Jesse giving everyone the lowdown on www.deannaandjesse.com (I’m guessing that’s not going to be a site much longer)
But probably my favorite quote came from DeAnna when she ran her mouth to “In Touch” yesterday. Here was her quote:
“I really felt like I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. I thought he was my fairy-tale ending. But after the show was over and we settled in to our normal lives, I slowly came to realize that we are two totally different people and it wasn’t going to work out.” Ho-lee crap. Wait a second, when the show ended and you guys were making the rounds on all the talk show circuits, you kept emphasizing how Jesse wasn’t your type at all, you never thought you’d pick him, but he grew on you, and now you realized this was the man you were going to spend the rest of your life with. I guess when you said “rest of your life”, you meant “six months”. Didn’t I constantly mention in the column this year that these two couldn’t possibly be any more different if they tried? Not saying that opposites can’t attract, but for her to use their being completely different as such a positive quality, then to turn around 6 months later and use it as one of the main reasons for the breakup, is ridiculous. She’s a chick that doesn’t know what she wants. Shocker. Where have I seen that before?
Everyone has a right to change their mind about a person. I get that. It’s just that in DeAnna’s case, she went out of her way in every single tv and radio appearance to constantly tell us how much she was in love with this man and yada yada yada. If they would’ve broken up after a couple years, I wouldn’t be this harsh on her. Or if they would’ve gotten married and then divorced, no, I wouldn’t have nearly been this cynical. But when I have people emailing me and leaving comments about how wrong I am, and that Jesse and DeAnna are in love, and I’m just cyncial, well, I take pleasure in yesterday’s news and you’re damn right I’m gloating. This wasn’t a breakup after a long, hard, rocky road together. She dumped him because the facade was over. She was never nearly as into him as she led people to believe, and I think Host Chris and Jesse’s comments prove that. If all the DeAnna minions would just give me a nice, warm apology, I would stop gloating. But since I know that’ll never happen since these people are basically posting anonymously on message boards calling me out when my email address is readily available, I figured I come on here today and destroy your little princess for the fraud she is. Jesse did nothing wrong. You bet your ass I believe he’s in love with her. I said it once the show ended that she’s completely out of his league – he admitted as much in every interview they did, constantly saying how he couldn’t believe she picked him. However, he needs to back away from the “I’d give her a second chance” stuff. No dude. Drop it. She’s yesterday’s news. You don’t need a woman like that around.
Yes, people have MySpace pages and Facebook pages. And of course, if you’re in a relationship or married, usually you have a lot of pictures on there of your significant other. However, this show has had 16 seasons (12 Bachelors and 4 Bachelorettes), and this was the first time that the final couple started their own website afterwards. Both Jesse and DeAnna have MySpace pages, yet, they felt the need to still put up a page that posted every print interview they did, every radio appearance they did, where they were headed next, family photos, etc. Was that necessary if you weren’t out for publicity? Of course not. Do me a favor. Go to the “About Us” section on www.deannaandjesse.com (once again, probably not a site that’s gonna be up much longer). What is the first sentence you see under there? I’ll tell you what it is in case you have difficulty reading what they printed in bold letters. This is ripped exactly from their website in the FIRST sentence they wrote in their “About Us” section:
DeAnna and Jesse are STILL ENGAGED and very much IN LOVE! What? Who writes that? Why not just be a normal couple, not announce where you were going or what you’ll be eating for breakfast, and just live your lives? Oh wait, I know why. Because you wanted to let the paparazzi know where you were at all times just in case you happened to be in a bikini on a beach or at a carwash and you could stage a fake photo shoot. Yeah, and they weren’t trying their damndest to prove to people they weren’t phony. Nice effort.
Look at DeAnna’s timeline regarding her feelings towards Jesse. When he first came out of the limo, she admitted she was not attracted to him and that he is not the type of guy she normally dates. Then six weeks later, she’s saying how much in love she was, that they were soulmates, and she was meant to spend the rest of her life with him. Then six months after that, she says “we’re two different people”. C’mon people. Do we need any further proof about this woman? It’s all right there in front of your face. She put on an act for the cameras and for the media to gain attention. In the interview I did with Jeremy, I even mentioned it then about how odd it was that she went from admitting to not being attracted to the guy, nor was he her type, to calling him her soulmate and the man to spend the rest of her life with after six weeks. It just seemed way too convenient for her. It’s almost like she chose the one who’d be the easiest to get rid of. She wanted so desperately to find someone after the Brad incident, that she probably tried to convince herself Jesse was the one, when in reality, she knew all along he wasn’t. Which is fine. Fourteen of these 16 couples have never made it, with Byron and Mary hanging on by the skin of their teeth. But just don’t go over-the-top and tell everyone how great your life is, and how this is the man of your dreams, etc. If they would’ve just taken the high road, said something to the effect of, “We’re gonna enjoy our time together and see where this goes”, I would not have come on here today ripping her a new one. But sorry, the situation called for it. And let’s not even get started about what this woman said over and over about what happened with Brad, only to come back and pull this. Talk about leading someone on. Hey pot, this is the kettle calling.
So in the final analysis, I’ll say this. You people need to listen to me more. I’ve said it a thousand times in this column, and I’ll say it another thousand times. If you actually watch this show for a love story, you have serious problems. There’s a reason I make fun of this show on a consistent basis, because that’s what it’s on for. Most people going on the show are using it to further their career in something. With that said, I actually think Jason might be our first Bachelor ever who isn’t, which is why I’m more looking forward to his season than any in recent memory. I’m very curious as to how it plays out. Sure, there’ll be women on there just looking to make a name for themself, but, it still could be a good season. Will we get a marriage? Who knows? But I’d say the odds are much better with Jason than any recent Bachelor or Bachelorette. Hurry up, DeAnna. Your 15 minutes are running out. I guess we’ll be seeing you doing extra work and print modeling for the next 5 years. Good luck with that.
November 4th, 2008 at 7:58 AM
Ha! You were spot on Steve! I can’t wait to hear what those pathetic commenters have to say now, although we probably won’t ever hear from them. I agreed with every word that you said – things happen, people break up, but it’s the way she went about it. And the nerve she had to say anything bad about Brad Womack.
November 4th, 2008 at 9:31 AM
When I heard this news last night, my first thought was: Does Reality Steve know about this? I don’t care either way, really, I only watch the show so I can read your comments about it later. It was sort of sad to see Jesse saying he’d take her back, though. Oh, dear. Hell, no. Dude, do not take anyone back.
When people break up with you it’s common to want to think that for them it was some horrid, gut-wrenching decision — that they spent days or months in turmoil, wanting not to hurt you, but we all know that’s not true. People are out for themselves in life. I’m sure true selfless love exists somewhere, but it is often grounded in having fewer alrernatives. For instance if you’re stuck at a job that drains you emotionally every day, another person can be your light. Their support and encouragement you cannot live without. But when that draining job is replaced with visions of Hollywood dancing around in your head, that “love” ain’t so special anymore.
If she were knocked-up, or unable to make a living, or in a state of crisis of some kind, I’m sure Jesse’s “love” would’ve been more than enough for her.
Ditto for guys. A pretty girl pays attention to them for more than five minutes and boom, they suddenly forget how in love they are. Everyone is always looking for something better because they feel like crap about their own life .
November 4th, 2008 at 9:55 AM
Steve, I’d just like to say that I stuck up for you in your last column. This “breaking news” totally made my day yesterday… although I have to say, I felt quite bad for Jesse in the video. He’ll be better off though! A couple months from now we’ll read a quote from him that Deanna dumping him was the best thing that ever happened to him.
Countdown to Bachelor Jason!!!
November 4th, 2008 at 10:27 AM
You are so spot on. I never liked her, and knew this relationship was a sham.
November 4th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
You are so right in all your comments. She is a fame wh**e and out to make in Hollywood. Good luck to her, NOT!
Jesse seems upset and really broken hearted, but I hope he takes your advice and doesn’t give this gal a second chance. Move on Jesse, you can do better.
I never liked her, but I did watch the show. Mainly to read your comments the next day. You are always spot on.
November 4th, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Like Carol, who posted above, my first response upon reading the BREAKING news last night was …. OOH What does Reality Steve have to say – you were right on the $$$.
I was surprised it lasted this long!
Jesse seems a little taken back in the video but he’ll be fine – and if not there’s always more reality TV for him.
I sure hope we don’t see an endless array of interviews with HER now … ugh. She’s pretty yes but a little vacant in my opinion
November 4th, 2008 at 4:23 PM
I too thought, “I wonder how much Steve will have to say about this!” I knew that you were going to go off about them and how fake the whole thing was. I really do feel sorry for Jesse, though. He seems like a nice guy.
November 4th, 2008 at 6:00 PM
PS–I read the Chris Harrison interview on realitytvworld.com… CH sounds REALLY disgusted with Deanna, as well he might.
PPS–Jesse reminds me a lot of a guy I used to know, who had this girlfriend who really walked all over him. Even still, he really wanted to be with her and make it work out. From what I’ve seen, Jesse is better off without D. IMHO.
November 4th, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Steve, I agree with everything you’ve said except one thing: I don’t think Deanna is out of Jesse’s league. Have you heard this girl speak? She is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed (remember when Jeremy had to explain that he is a real estate lawyer which means he.does.not.sell.houses). My guess is, if she was in it for the fame, why didn’t she choose Jeremy or Graham? Why did she go with Jesse? Ugh. I’m also looking forward to the Jason season (even though initially I wasn’t excited about his being the new Bach over Jeremy), but you’re right, with Jason we might actually get a last relationship.
November 4th, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Steve,
I laughed when I saw the announcement this morning. I knew you would be all over this one…justifiably so! There was no sincerity from the beginning. This relationship was not if but when they broke up. Your philosophy is right on the money. If you are going to watch, watch for entertainment value only. …I gave you till the end of the day to post and you didn’t disappoint. Thanks for entertaining me today.
Hey Jesse-if you read Reality Steve, take his advice and move on when you are over her. You’ll find yourself a much happier guy in the long run.
November 4th, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Not surprised here, either. And I have to admit, my first thought was also, “I wonder what RealitySteve has to say about this!”
I also have to agree with Bren’s post above – DeAnna has one heck of a nerve saying anything bad about Brad. What she did is far more rotten than anything he did – at least he was honest at show’s end. He wasn’t staging a farce or looking for fame. Jesse is far, far better off and he will realize it in time, and breathe a HUGE sigh of relief.
November 5th, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Once Graham DUMPED Deanna in her own show, she just picked someone who she can later dump (after the show.) Jesse was just the right person to save her fugly face. She does not have what it takes to be successful in LA LA land. She’s ‘obese” by Hollywood standards. Can we say lard-ass!
November 5th, 2008 at 12:47 AM
I knew the minute I saw all the snowboards handing in Jesse’s small apartment that Deyawna would have them taken down immediatlely or decide not to live there, Jesse I think you escaped a very demanding person!
November 5th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
Dude, I have only ONE thing to say: YOU ROCK!
November 5th, 2008 at 10:48 AM
Steve, love your column! Wanted to let everyone
know all the info and videos about the break-up
have been taken down off of http://www.deannaandjesse.com
in about the last hour or so.I would pay money
to know who is behind this! LOL! I guess Deanna found
out she is not the big deal she thought she was and
got mad at all the support Jesse has been receiving.
November 5th, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Steve I agree with you about Deanna. Love your column. I really thought the relationship would last, but when I look at all the publicity and hype you can see where she is always the one taking charge and wants to be in the front. I really feel sorry for Jesse and how she used him. I hope he will be able to move on in a couple months and find someone who appreciates him for the find gentleman he is.
I don’t think she will ever make hollywood. Hopefully she will fade into the blue. She now has a lot of fans who hate her.
If she is looking to hookup with Graham or Jeremy, I don’t think they are that foulous.
Thanks for your column.

November 5th, 2008 at 11:49 AM
I have to say that DeAnna did not deserve any of the final three that she picked. I hope those guys– Jesse, Jason, and Jeremy– all go on to find wonderful relationships. I hope DeAnna just disappears. She’s awful.
November 5th, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Haha, Steve! Love the blog and I complete agree. Everything you said here I have thought from the moment she told Jason “no” and I knew she was going to pick Jesse. They were such a joke it was pathetic.
November 5th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Steve i am hooked on your columns….you are brutally honest & i love it!!!!!! It’s about time someone had some b*LLs to say it like it is…..Rock On with your Awesome self!!!!!
forever your fan….
November 5th, 2008 at 2:08 PM
go to Youtube.com
Type in Deanna Pappas
New live interview Nov.3 2008
Told a talk show yesterday that she was still
getting married in May.Now the show is
trying to track her down and see why she lied.
Like they said…probably won’t be getting that call returned.
Of course, this is the same day the news was out
that the wedding was off.
I would say she has been busted.
November 5th, 2008 at 2:17 PM
Steve – Have you seen the Halloween PHOTOS of JEREMY with skank Aubrey O’Day??? What is he thinking, he’s trashing his image hanging out with a D-lister like her. Is he hitting rock-bottom? Can you get some dirt on what’s going on there. In a recent interview he says they are friends, but there was far too much canoodling, rubbing up against each other, and lots of kissing to be just friends!!!
November 5th, 2008 at 2:31 PM
Steve, you are absolutely right. I felt from the beginning she wanted Hollywood. But she isn’t into 15 minutes of fame, that has passed on. She is know 15 minutes of shame. I feel that it didn’t matter who she picked, Jason, Jeremy, Graham, and Jesse. She wasn’t in love with any of them, only herself. And Jesse just made it to this point. Because no matter who it would of been she would of dumped all of them, because DeAnna is all about herself. She’ll need to adopt because no one is going to want to have children with her. Besides she to stuck on herself to have children that will take away the attention from her. She is pitaful, and that is all I have got to say. She needs to give the ring back to ABC she doesn’t deserve it at all. She wanted her face and name in lights that is all. Pathetic. At least all the men were winners in this mess. There were genuine, not her.
November 5th, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Poor Jesse! Jason has got to be thanking his lucky stars that he was not TFR. I never buy into the true love aspect of this show, but for Jason, I really am hoping he finds somebody genuine. Great column as always, Steve.
November 5th, 2008 at 5:14 PM
How does Deanna think she can still be a celebrity once she calls it quits with Jesse? Why would anyone care any longer about what she does, other than to snicker when she’s spotted hooking up with another reality show has been? Does she even have a real job?
November 5th, 2008 at 5:18 PM
I know this sucks for Jesse but in time he will thank his lucky stars he did not invest even more time, effort and emotions into that woman. Her attitude from day one was ME ME ME ME and screw everybody else. Didn’t she even pull the I love you but I am not IN love with you with one of the guys… Jason or Jeremy?
It must be gratifying to be able to say to anonymous’ “I told you”
November 5th, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Steve, it is always a pleasure to read your blunt and to the point commentary. I only have one exception…I’m don’t think Jesse was in love with De. I think they both knew fom the start that there was no real engagement.
I still think De is hung up on Graham. There’s a youtube video called, “The One You Love.”
November 6th, 2008 at 1:31 AM
Hey Steve ! ! ! ! ! Surprise ! Surprise !
My take … ABC shut the checkbook and life didn’t look quite so rosey. Awwww : (
Jesse knows how to play the game too and he is is holding all the trump right now … he is only doing to Deanna (the sympathy video and comments) what she did to Brad a year ago. Was it that long?
Jeremy? He is having a good time being single and working on his career. He’s a good guy having fun !
November 6th, 2008 at 1:35 PM
je2 -
Jeremy looks like he is scraping the bottom of the barrel!! It’s not like he was invited to Hugh Hefner’s Halloween Party at the Playboy Mansion with all the A-LIST celebs and Playmates… if that was the case I could certainly see all the cavorting. However, that crappy party, with the down-n-out slut who looks drugged, dirty and all a mess makes Jeremy look like he’s gone down-hill. Come on Jeremy, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in the game. The losers edition is not for you. Really thought you had more class than that!
November 6th, 2008 at 5:09 PM
What keeps occurring to me is how DeAnna went on and on and ON about how Brad “broke her heart” or if one of the bachelors on her show hurt her little feelers she would have to say “he broke my heart”. I don’t think the girl knows the meaning of that term…what she did to Jesse is nauseating!
November 6th, 2008 at 5:17 PM
reality Steve…
runs to phone to call Jesse for interview for blog…
November 6th, 2008 at 6:13 PM
http://www.astrochicks.com
I hope it is ok to print another website.
Scroll down…couple of articles on the princess.
Steve, let us know your thoughts on these!
November 6th, 2008 at 9:42 PM
So now maybe when the “Fort” people give you the low down folks you will believe us! Steve did, Cape tried to let everyone know and got scathed for it!
Watch out, both people are playing everyone who buys the bridges they are delling!
November 6th, 2008 at 9:45 PM
I don’t feel sorry for Jessie either because he wanted the spot light too to promote his business. Thank God she didn’t pick Jason and hurt his little boy. I didn’t like Deanna when she was on Brad season because she was mean to the other girls. Why they let her have her own show to do the picking was a BIG MISTAKE.
November 6th, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Steve, I agree with everything you said about the “princess”. She was a complete fraud with Brad as well and she was just pissed that he dumped her on national tv. She would have used him just like she has used Jesse. De is a spoiled, immature brat who is used to bullying to get her way and she will step on anyone who gets in her way. She would always use the term “I deserve it”, and that just turned me off because why does SHE deserve anything more than anyone else? She also said “I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve” to Brad and then told him how much she loved him and wanted to have his children. WHAT?? After about 5 weeks. Give me a break!
Our “princess” was not looking for love, marriage and 3 kids before she’s 30, she was looking for a ticket to Hollywood & fame. She needs to go back to the Jeckel and Hyde Bar where she hangs out in Georgia. The name of that bar suits her very well. lol
I have always said that Brad should have let Jenni go last (F1) because she would not have caused him any grief like Dee did. Jenni would have sucked it up and moved on, like she did. Also, if J went last (F1), DeAnna might have never gotten asked to be the Bachelorette and saved EVERYBODY a lot of grief, especially Jesse.
I think your analysis on Jason’s season is spot on. I’ve said the same thing before. I believe Jason is really looking for someone and with a son to raise, I can’t see him hot-footing it to LA. I’m looking forward to Jason’s season and I hope we are not disappointed again. He really seems to be going on there for the right reasons and he is such a great guy.
Steve, keep telling it like it is!
November 7th, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Steve, from the word go I’ve agreed with you on everything you said about miss flake. Just wait..she’s going to be going after Graham, but I doubt she’ll get far. I do feel badly for Jesse though..I think he got caught up in it all and didn’t give himself enough time to get his thoughts set straight. In the end, this is the very best thing that could have happened to him. He was being used by her, and he certainly did not deserve that. The woman makes me want to hurl!
November 7th, 2008 at 1:17 PM
Wasn’t it just a month or so ago DeAnna was begging the “fans” to sign a petition for a TV wedding? I guess when that feel through her 15 minutes were up.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Forget Jesse and Deanna. What I want to know is all the dirt whatshername —Matt’s runner-up –was going to dish about her season (and Shayne). I’m still waiting…
November 7th, 2008 at 8:12 PM
Ha! You make it sound as though Jason has his head screwed on tight! What responsible man would leave his child not once but twice for a farce of a show. He is no better than any of the men who have come before him….looking for lasting love, you my friend are as twisted as the contestants that vie for the affection. Enjoy watching Jason’s sham…can’t wait to see how you spin this.
November 9th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
I am not a fan of DeAnna Pappas, but far less a fan of Jesse Csincsak as the guy is a total scam artist.
His was part and party to the illusion of having a girlfriend during filming and airing, his not-for-profit/self-promotional sham, overstating his financial worth, etc.
I agree, DeAnna should not have selected anyone after her emotional Graham Bunn roller coaster ride, and instead opting for the comfort zone type of guy she might have partied with while in high school. As much as I abhor many of her choices, she did do right by Jason and Jeremy and there is every indication that she did try to make it work with Jesse.
However, though Jesse is claiming foul, who of any of us really bought into the happily ever after for the two of them after watching that early theme park video tape where Jesse attempted to manhandled her on a ride? Exactly what are the circumstances that led to DeAnna spraining her wrist is what I would like to know given it was right after that she left for GA and returned to end her relationship with Jesse.
Nonetheless, startling that within a couple of days of being left brokenhearted, Jesse, between coaching gigs, managed to converted both the web and myspace sites to his self-promotion, put out a video and gave interviews where he (supposedly) shed tears, placed all blame upon DeAnna Pappas and now angling to be the next bachelor?
Something ain’t right here.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:51 PM
Steve,
Are you going to post soon? What’s going on with Jeremy? Is he going out with De??

I don’t think for a minute that Jason is doing The Bachelor for sincere reasons. I have two young children and as a parent, I cannot fathom putting small children in the midst of this publicity scam. I have no respect for him. And I’d love for someone to get an interview with his ex-wife. If Jason is such a swell catch, what went wrong?
I think the lure of fame and money snags a lot of these reality tv participants. I remember back when reality tv was new, starting with Survivor. One of the early contestants was talking about the aftermath of the show. She was saying how hard it was to go back to your normal life. She said for awhile, she was getting offers to do promos for “this and that” and that she could make ($$$) in ONE DAY what it used to take her 3 MONTHS to make at her regular job.
Let’s look at Ryan and Trista as the prime example. I just read that they are being courted for a new reality show. She’s pregnant with her second baby and I guess that’s supposed to be interesting to all of us. What shocked me is that she made a comment that they would do the show to pay their mortgage and pay off debt.
Pay their mortgage? Debt? Geez Louise. They were paid a MILLION dollars to broadcast their wedding, plus all the other money they make on appearances. Where is all that money going? Let’s see now, she was a physical therapist and Ryan was a fireman and that’s a pretty decent living for most people. They could have taken that million and paid cash for a nice house and had some left over. But I guess since she’s been shmoozing with Oprah and company, she thinks that’s the way life is supposed to be.
Back to Jesse and Deanna – Deanna owes Brad a big fat apology. How many times did she mention what a jerk he was to her last season?? What Deanna did to Jesse trumps anything Brad did to her. I must say, I imagine Brad with a smug grin on his face when he found out the news.
Steve – I’m looking forward to your next series on The Bachelor. I only watch the show now to read your commentary. You are too funny.

Aren’t we all missing the point here, though?
What we really should be concerned about is: how is Ellen handling this?!? I mean, Prop 8 was traumatic enough – but this may put her over the edge.
I never thought I was more cynical than Steve, but frankly I never believed Jesse had the purest of intentions in this coupling either. He was as big a self-promoter as D, and now she’s passed along her trusty sympathy card on to him. He will be fine.
I SO wish that Brad had agreed to go through with his interview here…while at the same time, I somehow respect him even more for refusing to talk about the ordeal of the show ever again.

Forgot to add: if we don’t see Jesse on “Dancing With the Stars” next time the season runs outside of ski season, I’ll eat my remote.

Steve, I loved your post. I have to admit, I’m a hopeless romantic. I really thought at first, hey they are really in love. Afterwards, I thought it was so weird in all the interviews she kept saying how Jesse wasn’t her type, she thought Jeremy and Graham would be her final two, blah, blah. If that was my fiance, I would be mad as hell.
Now after only one week, Deanna is in Dallas hooking up with Jeremy. Maybe this whole thing was staged. I do think Jesse fell for the girl. The rad snowboarder dude got his heart stolen. In the end, I think Jesse will end up extending his 15 minutes of fame. On Deanna, maybe she can extend it if she hooks up with Jeremy. Juicy and scandalous.
What are your thoughts? Jeremy seems pretty normal.

Reality Steve,
Do ya check your blog?

Might be this bit of news has something to do with Jesse quickly converting the couple’s joint web and MySpace sites to his own promotional vehicles, and, of course, that infamous crocodile-tears YouTube confessional video that lead to a few interviews that dumped on DeAnna and, also, what appears to be Chris Harrison being somewhat misled.
(Steve … it only makes sense that the paparazzi story came from Jesse and from what we know about Jesse, can any of us seriously believe he did not want his wedding to be a promotional/paid for televised event? I mean, come on …)
Anyway, DeAnna is the new co-host of Lifetime’s daily 7:30am, 30-minute morning show, “Get Married.”

Amber, I just threw up a little in my mouth! PULEASE are they nuts? Whatever, I just hope NO ONE watches that stupid show.
November 12th, 2008 at 7:51 PM
I cannot believe they would give her that job. She probably got the job offer, decided to dump Jesse, and then look for more of her 15 minutes of fame, which unfortantely ran out a long time ago.
Of course, the first post was “I this, I that” her usual format of “Well, it is all about me!”. I read the comments section after her first post. People were actually congratulating her. If I were a bride to be, she would be the last person I would want any advice from.
Sometimes, I wonder how people get the jobs they have. This is another case of it.

Ditto #49. Call me cynical, but I think this is only further proof that she was only out for TV exposure from the get-go.

I didn’t think it would take long before Deanna would get tired of Jesse’s big watch, shredding, his nugs, and saying rad and that’s ridiculous all the time, it’s like Reality Steve said, can you see Deanna hanging out in a snowboard bong van, yeah me either.
