The Bachelorette: The Graham-less Fantasy

DeAnna%20beach.jpg

"Graham, Graham, wherefore art thou Graham?"

Tonight on The Bachelorette DeAnna goes on three nearly identical dates in the Bahamas. The guys can DEFINITELY see themselves falling in love with DeAnna and she can DEFINITELY see herself spending the rest of her life with each of them. It's a Fantasy Overnight Three-peat to remember!

We join DeAnna packing up to go on her fantasy overnight dates and she is still whining about Graham. She reiterates that Graham is the one she had all picked out to be Last Man Standing, but he turned out to be a "Brad," meaning he couldn't give her what she wanted. Sorry, DeAnna. He's just not that into you. I'm not really buying the "too scared to open up" story. Now she just has no idea what to do because she had pretty much written off the other three in favor of Graham, but now he's gone and ruined that.

Over on Grand Bahama Island DeAnna sulks along the beach, wondering what it would be like if Graham were here. But no time for that right now because here comes Jeremy jogging up to greet her. DeAnna finally admits that the biggest thing between her and Jeremy is the fact that they've both lost parents, but she's hoping to see him relax and have fun here in Fantasy Land. They kiss a lot. Did you know that DeAnna thinks Jeremy is perfect? Did you know that she could see herself marrying him? They hop on a funky yellow boat which whisks them over to a little private Fantasy Island to hang out on. They ride around for a while on some Fantasy wave runners and then sit down in the Fantasy sand to hash things out. Things seem rather tense and neither of them say anything. Jeremy asks DeAnna to tell him something about herself that he doesn't already know and she can't think of anything. I actually believe that. I'm not sure how much there really IS to know about DeAnna. Wait. Does he know that Brad dumped her? DeAnna whines to us that just when she got rid of Graham for being too quiet, Jeremy clams up. Jeremy keeps telling us that he's gearing up to have a really serious talk with DeAnna. Oh boy. Have you had any other kind?

Liquid courage

They meet up later for Fantasy dinner and now Jeremy can't stop giggling. Well, didn't DeAnna want him to cut loose and relax? Jeremy takes a deep breath and goes into his big speech. He says that this is a huge deal because here is someone he really cares about, but he doesn't really "have" her yet and he doesn't want to lose her. He would say he's falling in love with her, but it's already happened. She doesn't have to respond, he just wants her to know.

"You better believe you let me know."

DeAnna just says she's glad he told her and it's time for the Fantasy Card. Jeremy reads the card and hops up, ready for some action. They head straight for the Fantasy bed and make out while DeAnna reminds us that Jeremy is perfect, has she mentioned that? As we watch, Jeremy gets up and closes the door on us. Aw, no watching of the perfect Fantasy make out? Shucks.

The next morning DeAnna rolls out of bed with Jeremy and heads to the beach to meet Jason, who also comes jogging up to meet her.

"Sleep well, did you?"

He tells us that he wants DeAnna to know that he's falling in love with her, but today is all about fun. And first on the Fantasy fun agenda is off-roading in a large Fantasy jeep. I'm remembering how non-adventurous Jason was on the four-wheelers, but this time he hops right in and takes off. They go for a very bouncy ride leading them to what looks like a Fantasy swamp, where they hop on a little portable bridge that utilizes a pulley system to take them across the water.

In my fantasy, I get to go out and get trashed on Monday nights while Honey Gangsta is stuck in the house watching this trash so she can come back and recap it for my pleasure. Thanks for making all my fantasies come true! Honey Gangsta, will you accept this rose? @-)- Seriously, the whole fantasy suite thing makes Tila Tequila look like it is sponsored by Disney. I hope those roses come with Valtrex .. ewwwww

wintersux:

Maybe my hootchee-mama roots are showing, but I don't blame DeAnna for trying out the merchandise. If she truly wants a future with one of these guys, wouldn't she want to be physically compatible with that person?

Fayellis1:

To wintersux: first of all, winter does suck :0). Yeah, I understand trying on shoes before you buy them, however, I normally know which pair I really want and which 2 are back up. I honestly believe she only wanted Jeremy or Graham, and Jason and the Riddler were back up plans. It just seems unseemly to me. She may not have done the deed with all 3, but the show gives that impression which just gives me the eeeewwwwws. There would have been plenty of time for that after the cameras stopped rolling.

LisaMay:

I'm sorry but the Riddler is just fugly.

wintersux:

Hey there Fay! I actuallly considered making my name a hyphenate, as in wintersux/summerrox so I could be a bit more topical, but that was too complicated. Anyway, I also think from a feminist point of view, all the Bachelors as well as the guys on the VH1 "____ of Love" shows sleep with the chicks before they make their final decisions, so why not offer that option to the Bachelorette also.

dani2526:

Jeeeereeemy!!!!

Anyway, it was obvious that she was sending Jeremy home because he only got one segment, the others got the One Segment-One Commercial Break-Second Segment Treatment.

Anyone think that Jeremy was set up to be the next Bachelor? He could very well be successful given his neediness and all. Not that I'm dissin'...I'd like me some Jeremy-cake.

Hope my husband doesn't read this!

yankeesfan:

dani2526 - I was thinking the same thing. Jeremy will definitely be the next Bachelor!

rt12345:

Great recap HG!

I think Jason is going to win now.

I still can't get over Graham being gone and I was shocked that Jeremy was cut this week.

Looking forward to your recap of the men tell all...

ThisShowRocks!:

Wow, HG...you were all over this! Thanks for getting the recap up so quickly. I can't wait to read your recap of "Men Tell All."

My vote is with Jason, but no one has mentioned the previews for next week's episode.
Who comes to her door? My first thought is Jeremy. Anyone else have any guesses?

I'm glad Jeremy is gone. There's something so creepy about him. He's too needy.
And I, for one, found their date painful. Everything about it was just so awkward.
I really hope neither Jeremy or Graham will be the next Bachelor. I can't even imagine how excruciating that would be.

dani2526:

What preview?!?!? I must have missed that one...

Fayellis1:

Wintersux, you are right the men on those shows do bed the women, however, it is always the women who come out looking like a h__, s___, or any variation there of. I just think women's reputation takes a little more protecting. But this is coming from a women who thinks granny panties will make a come back so what do I know. I hope we have no more recycled Bachelors/or etts. I think this show suffers from the WOW factor new people bring. Recycling Deanna was a bad idea IMO. She got on my nerve during the Brad season and he probably saw the finished product and realized he did not want that confrontational demanding shrew, not even long enough for an US Weekly cover shoot. I too would eat a Jeremy sandwich. I thought Graham looked like a Happy Days extra & Jesse looks like he is waiting on a bus to take him to Job Corp

ThisShowRocks!:

Dani,
I don't know if it was after the actual "Bachelorette" show or "The Men Tell All" show, but they had a preview of next week's episode.
I can't remember all of it, but at one point, someone (we couldn't tell who, of course) comes to DeAnna's door and says, "We need to talk." Or, "I need to talk to you."

I've wondered if it was Jeremy since he jumped out of the limo and all. He just didn't look like he was ready to give up.
Haha..maybe he DOES go back to talk to her and convinces her to give him another chance..but he showed up on the reunion show so the twist wouldn't be given away.

I'm just spitballing here, but you get my point. There's alot of time between now and Monday to throw theories out there.

LoLo:

For people who hate spoilers, I don't want to go into any specifics, but there's definitely stuff out there on Bachelorette-dedicated message boards about who's at the door and what they have to say. Some of the theories seem pretty plausible (and backed up with screen shot proof), and if correct, will be huge drama that I can't wait for.

So there's info out there if you want it! Can't wait until Monday, and thanks for the fabulous job as always, HG!

juddfan:

I'm so glad to see the gasm behind Jason, whatever it is, I just think he's a sweetheart, and very empathetic, and she seemed rather smitten to me too! TG--I will faint if she picks Jessie, despite his assurances about a real job and the three kids, I don't see it . . . I wonder if they do put plants on this show, and then what happens when she falls for one of 'em (cough) Graham (cough) . . . pretty lame for her to carry on about that douche--her honey's gonna see this . . . .I'm just sayin', guess second best is good enough . . . Thanks Honey, can't wait for the fantasy Men say nothing!!!

wintersux:

Fay, I think my problem is that I've been married almost 20 years and I can only fantasize about hopping into the sack with a variety of men...Not that I would actually do it but I'm just living vicariously! :)

DP Hooker:

Deanna was a huge bitch on Brad's season too. Did everyone forget about her and Milk Carton instigating shit with other women and just being nasty in general? I hate her.

I was hoping a fantasy alligator would jump out of the fantasy swamp and eat her.

I can't see her working out long term with either of these guys. Looking forward to the Men Tell All recap because i think she came off looking even more terrible after that.

negativenancy:

That was funny when Jeremy showed up on the beach for his date and she asked how he was and he said "I'm perfect!" But maybe he wasn't so perfect in bed. Jason is a thousand percent preferable to Jesse, therefore I guess she will pick Jesse. Or maybe Brad will come back and she'll go with him. ewwww.

honey gangsta:

Fayellis1, I WILL accept this rose! Noisy kiss, noisy kiss. That is awesome.

Ok, I somehow also missed the preview of someone coming to DeAnna's door. I bet it's Graham... NOT. I can't wait to see who it is!

DP Hooker, fantasy alligator. That's why I love you!

Thanks for all the laughs and insights, guys. LOVE IT.

-HG :)

dani2526:

Shoot, too much estrogen tonight. First, "Sex and the City" with some girlfriends... THEN come home and seek out Bachelorette spoilers with too many glasses of wine over way too much time.

Someone pleeease help!

gnomecorp:

The comments on this post are the funniest I've ever read. They're pretty darn close to the amazingness that is HG's recaps.

My faves:

Jeremy-cake

I was hoping a fantasy alligator would jump out of the fantasy swamp and eat her.

But this is coming from a women who thinks granny panties will make a come back so what do I know.

To wintersux: first of all, winter does suck

but the winner is commenter #1: Fayellis1

WOW - peed my pants funny.
