The Bachelorette – Motionsickness and tell-alls!
Or something like that. The episode last night was a two parter – a first ever one on one interview with DeAnna and her feelings as she watches the show and why she made some of her decisions. DeAnna, of course, says everything we see on the TV episodes is real (and everything you read on the internet is true!) and it’s interesting to watch and see some of the things she missed while they were filming – like how the guys interacted with each other, and how they opened up amongst themselves about her.
She admitted to being thrown by Graham’s guardedness, and how guilty she felt about having no connection with Richard, as well as why she sent Robert and Fred both home the same night – she claimed it would have made her a coward to keep Fred, when she felt nothing with him.
Then we checked in with the favorite Bachelorette, Trista and her hubby Ryan and the new baby, Max – awwwww! She is, of course, blissfully happy there in Vail, Colorado, and completely satisfied with her life, she and Ryan are content and thrilled with where they are and their family. When asked about DeAnna, Trista says she feels connected to her in a way, and thinks she’s doing an awesome job being open with her feelings, and is looking forward to the home visits – which is when Trista fell in love with Ryan. She just hopes she doesn’t hold back when it comes time to put her heart on the line and takes that risk.
We take a closer look at the final six, and hear them talk about how she’s a dream girl. From snowboarding to racing motorcycles to painting to liking the finer things in life, it’s a glimpse of the final six at home and then DeAnna comments that she’s connected with all of them in different ways. And right now, she admits she doesn’t have a favorite – as much as everyone wants her to marry Jeremy. Sean has it together, a good heart and makes her feel good, Graham blows her away with how hot he is, Jason is amazingly great… and it worries a little bringing his son into it with a hometown date. She doesn’t want to break the kids heart – not anyone’s heart. She’s cried on every episode and says that’s the most she’s cried in the last 4 years. It’s hard to say goodbye to all of them.
Then it’s time for part two – and she takes the final sixe off to Palm Springs where the competition heats up with the four home dates on the line. There’s no individual roses, and Sean got the first one on one date – they go up the mountain on a gondola thingy on cables, and she’s scared of heights so curls up close and he completely eats it all up on the way to the romantic dinner at the top of the mountain. She feels some sort of connection, so invites him back to her suite for dessert and kisses him.
Twilly gets the next bit of one on one time, and finally gets his chance to shine – unfortunately it starts with a helicopter ride, he can’t get the door open, then once he does and they take off, he gets horrible motion sickness and both fear that he’s gonna blow chunks in her lap. heh. The other guys (Cept Jeremy and Sean) follow in their own helicopter, and they do some quad racing – which Jesse excels at, naturally, but so does DeAnna as she totally kicks their butts. Twilly was in his own little world. They then cool off in the pool.
At the pool, she took time to talk to all of them one on one and see what it would be like in their hometowns, and they all make little moves. Jeremy then gets the last one on one date, and they sing really badly to some karaoke in Sinatra’s old house, then there’s proclamations of adoration by the pool and kisses too.
DeAnna forgoes the cocktail party, saying her decision is already made, and hands out roses to Jeremy, Jason, Graham and Jesse, sending Twilley and Sean home.
Next up – hometown visits!
