		<description>Deegirl...wow!  Thanks for that excerpt!  I like Graham.  But, I think he's the kind of guy that doesn't "play" hard to get...he IS hard to get.  He's the kind of guy you have to be really careful about getting involved with, because it's endearing, at first, to have to work at his attention...and when he gives it to you it's GREAT, but he's perhaps passive aggressive and gets pleasure out of seeing women gravel.  I bet either his mother or father are like that with him, so that's his comfort zone...having to work for love.  When HE's ready he'll meet the right one and go for it!</description>

		<description>Great recap as usual.  

Here is an excerpt from an interview with Graham\

So ultimately she wasn't the right person for you?
I don't think we were right for each other...no, I do not believe we were right for each other.
Why is there something the audience are missing from what we are seeing? Jesse and DeAnna are so different and Jeremy and Jason seem much more the marrying kind.
I definitely would agree with you that Jason and Jeremy would make better partners with her to spend the rest of her life with. I don't think you're missing anything in the edit of Jesse - I think you might be missing something of the edit of DeAnna.
What have you done if she offered you a rose, would you have accepted it?
I'm honestly not sure what I would of done and she actually asked me that afterwards and I wasn't sure. Going into the ceremony I didn't know what would have been the best thing for her and myself included because I was not getting to where she needed me to get. Fortunately for us both it was kind of a mutual thing and she took the initiative. Seeing her I did have so much fun with her and being around her was cool and marriage is very important. Marriage is a very serious thing and I think she took a lot of onus in that concept.
Based on your earlier comments, it seems that you didn't think it was good fit, but now it seems like maybe that's not the case, can you explain?
 I think whoever she ends up with would be a better match for her longterm, hopefully for her, than I would have been because I just don't feel like she and I would have made a strong longterm relationship.
So when she kept talking about Brad, you had no idea who this guy was?
No, I had heard the stories and some of the other guys obviously talked about it a lot and just through her interaction I ended up knowing quite a bit about Brad, because she definitely brought him up quite a bit with me.
When you were talking about Jesse you mention that there was a disconnect with the edit with DeAnna?
I think the edit Jesse is getting is pretty true to who he is, he's a fun loving guy. I think that if there is any questions about that interaction I would imagine it's because people are missing a lot of the edit with DeAnna.
What is it that you think we've been missing?
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and No Comment on that one.
If there were no cameras and no other guys, do you think you could have fallen in love with DeAnna?
No I don't think I could have fallen in love with DeAnna.</description>

		<description>Hey, its me again.

Yes, I did hear somewhere that Jason was a golf pro, formerly. He and his former wife were mairried on July 13, 2003. The pictures were beautiful, yes, though Jason had a shaved head; he looks better now, I think. I've heard those rumors about Bevin being a bridesmaid, but dismissed them before as being too much of a coincidence to be true.

Jesse has been on the MTV show "Made," in which he taught a teenage girl with no snowboarding skills to snowboard. I think there was a moment on one episode where he was talking about the fact that all the girls have a crush on him, or something. That makes so much more sense now.

And I know that there are a lot of people on Fans of Reality TV and ABC.com who are positively clamoring for Jeremy to be the next Bachelor. 

In all, I'm still holding forth with my original prediction, which is that DeAnna picks none of the above mentioned (its already been proven by super-sleuths with lots of time on their hands that Jeremy goes home tomorrow). I heard a story wherein the AFR show was cancelled. I heard another story in which an engagement party was going to be televised, but that its Matt and Shayne's--apprently they didn't do an AFR with them before, because his dad became sick.</description>

		<description>The irony is too fantastic.  Deanna is forced to "lead on" the final 3 into thinking they have a chance - since she was admittedly only falling in love with Graham.  Unless of course she tells the producers that the show is over right now (which won't happen).  But unfortunately - the always right Deanna will delude herself into somehow being the victim again....</description>

		<description>First, my 3 yr old recently got a golf ball and it goes EVERYWHERE with him.  He loves the stupid thing.  Apparently Jason said that Ty learned to crawl on a golf green and I guess Jason really likes golf or was a golfer hence the golf ball.  

I also saw Jason's wedding details on the Knot.  Beautiful pictures!  And also can confirm Bevin from Andy's season was a bridesmaid.</description>

		<description>Ronda, there is one thing Graham does NOT have, and that is a skinny body!  Did you even LOOK at the pictures of him without a shirt?!  He has a fabulous body.  His face does not look like a ferret either!  The only thing that takes away from his appearance is his haircut.</description>

		<description>Steve - don't worry.  Your Maddie will have a better home life!

Judy - that was Danielle from B10 who had the dead boyfriend.  That doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean!</description>

		<description>I missed this episode, but knew I could depend on Steve to give me an update that is better than actually watching the show.

I did see the Jason's wedding pate on The Knot's website...so strange considering the marriage didn't work out...  Even stranger that Bevin was a bridesmaid...no kidding.</description>

		<description>I believe she picks Jesse knowing that it won't last long.  That way she saves face because she didn't pull "a Brad".  I also believe she doesn't pick Jason becasue she knows she's not into him and doesn't want to give the kid hope that she's his new mommy.

I also believe Jason's wife left him for another woman.</description>
