Comments on: The Bachelorette Finale Recap - 7/7/08 http://realitysteve.com/blog/2008/07/08/the-bachelorette-finale-recap-7708/ My sarcastic, slanted, sophomoric, and skewed view on the world of reality television.

I am not buying all this love and happiness.

Bachelor 12 Matt is not looking real good at the moment, I think the truth is going come out. Of course you have your usual Shayne bashers who blame her totally, at the boards but a least she was upfront about being an actress. Steve

I''d say she was the lucky one... hope since Matty and the other girl have admitted to pretending for last couple of months, she should be able to talk without violating her contract. There are some of us have a pretty good idea what went down. We are not as dumb as ABC would like us to be, we know it is "scripted reality tv" and it all in the editing. Steve

You remember Chelsea, last season's runner up, and Jeremy, this season's final 4 guy. Steve, Call your pal, Chelsea, and ask her if she is dating Jeremy.

The flowers are pink primarily when the two first see each other on the podium, and DeAnna seems to have a happy, relaxed demeanor. Then Jason seems about to confess his love for her - he says, "I'm so happy, I...." and then immediately it cuts to a far-away shot of him getting down on one knee to a particularly loud voice saying, "No I can't" - and then from then onward, the flowers are white. If you watch the Final Rose with Jesse... the flowers are primarily white, but they switch to pink at one point too. Regardless of the reason, that's some not so smooth editing, ABC.

I think that they did a photo shoot where they played out the FRC. There would be video and still shots of they guys walking up to the podium, facing DeAnna, getting down on one knee, etc. Then, of course, we saw the actual day of the FRC mixed in with the video/photo shoot - for whatever reason. You can tell which ones were filmed/photographed first because the lighting is very "even." The sun isn't setting in the west for the photos shoot. The lighting is more like a photo shoot. Light sources come from multiple positions so as not to cast shadows. I also noticed that Chris H's voice over said that "there would be two proposals, which one will she accept." I think that De Anna had her strategy set weeks before the final four. Think about final four home town dates. We know she would have Jeremy, Jason and Graham. Who would have the best footage for a hometown date? De is a real estate agent. She knows exactly what location, location, location means! I think her choice was more based on what her life could be like for the next year or so, not forever. How exciting to follow Jesse around for a while! Gotta be better than Newnan, GA. Pleeeeeeease. Jesse seems like a great guy. I think he is probably a little too insecure to be with someone like DeAnna, assumibng that we have gotten to know De enough to make that judgement. Jesse has more going on that what they showed us. He owns property that rents for a ton of money (real estate related topic, De!). He probably brought out the idea to De that she doesn't have to settle down yet. I'm sure that in Newnan, there are a lot of people who are settled down and De saw it and wanted it. She really is too young. More power to her for wanting an exciting life while she still can. I just can't get over the pulverizing of Jason's heart that I witnessed from the girl who sent guys home so that they didn't think she was leading them on. She cried more for Fred than she did for Jason. On screen anyway. I kind of hope she misses Jason more than she thought she would.
