DeAnna and Jeremy sit down in the dugout and have a little heart to heart. It seems that Jeremy, like DeAnna, has lost his mother. Oh, that makes me sad. Then we learn that he also lost his dad shortly after. Oh geez, DeAnna loses the pity Olympics. Jeremy is the gold medalist. They're both so glad they got to have this chat.
"Then my dog died and I got fired from my job..."
Later after hot dogs and wine (so classy!), the guys take turns having brief alone time. All Eric can talk about is Greece and being Greek. I'm bored of him already. Brian tells DeAnna that he's really discovered who he is in the last year and he's ready to find a wife.
At home Jason calls his little boy and I could honestly care less. This is what is making the show so long and we could really do without it. Then he goes outside and tells the other guys about his son. Big whoop.
Oooh, more filler. Tommy LaSorda gives DeAnna relationship advice. Seriously? Next!
And next DeAnna pulls Jeremy off the field and tells him they have so much in common. Just then this little chatty-poo pops up on the JumboTron for the other guys to watch as DeAnna presents Jeremy with the rose. Ron says that hurts more than any strike out they could have had on the field. Geez, I hope so. Then DeAnna pulls out her final surprise of the night, which is fireworks for everyone. That's nice. The other guys aren't too fond of Jeremy.
It's Pre Rose Ceremony Cocktail Party time! DeAnna's wearing an awesome powder blue dress. As the Bunkhouse Boys file in, Jeremy announces, "Welcome to our home!" and this just does not sit well with anyone. Ron actually brings up Jeremy's second rose to DeAnna, wondering why she wouldn't spread out the mansion time more among the guys so that she'll have a better opportunity to get to know everyone. DeAnna says she won't go into details, but that Jeremy opened up to her about some important things. Then she tells us that if the other guys are jealous, they should step up their game. Bravo!
Twilley takes DeAnna outside in another attempt to explain how great he is. Inside, the guys keep whining about Jeremy's rose and Jeremy actually heads outside to brush Twilley aside and steal some more time for himself. Trouble! How dare he! Jeremy is getting very unpopular with the rest of the guys.
Outside Jeremy and DeAnna continue their bonding and Jeremy tells her that on the first night when he got out of the limo and said something in another language, what he said was, "I came here to meet you, especially for you." Aw, that's really sweet. And it's smooch number two for DeAnna!
Things are looking up...
I think I'm a Jeremy fan, but I admit, it could just be that I feel sorry for him for losing his parents. Inside the guys start ganging up on Jeremy. Ryan says he doesn't think Jeremy is genuine - the same thing he said to Twilley - and Ron says that Jeremy pulling DeAnna away from Twilley just now was uncalled-for, unprofessional and immature. Unprofessional? Is this a job interview? Jeremy is back and Ryan tells him he doesn't have to be a dick, which is bleeped. Why bleeped? Ryan doesn't cuss. DeAnna chooses Ron for the next alone time. They discuss his divorce and Ron tells her he's been having fun and that he appreciates her putting herself out there. After this, Ron isn't so sure that Jeremy is the only frontrunner anymore.
Now the guys have a pushup competition and I have a nice little power nap because who freaking cares??? Jeremy claims to have thrown the pushup competition to give the others a chance (yeah right) and the winner is... The Riddler. He and DeAnna step outside and DeAnna wants to know how he'll ever move away from Colorado if he's a professional snowboarder. The Riddler says he wants to quit snowboarding and be a stay at home dad. Mayday! The Riddler doesn't want to work. I somehow don't see DeAnna marrying the stay at home dad type.
Thank goodness, here's Chris tapping the glass. After deliberating, DeAnna thanks everyone and reminds them that she knows what they're going through. Here come the roses: Ron, The Riddler, Chef Robert, Brian, Jason, Fred, Sean and his mullet, Richard, Gentlemen, DeAnna, this is the final rose tonight. When you're ready. Twilley! Ew. So leaving us are Eric, Chris and Ryan.

I get the feeling you recappers are like human shields for the rest of us, catching all the goo and gunk so we don’t have to. So thanks!
The Canadian: Gay. Or just looking to get on TV. Or both.
The Riddler: Ditto. (Not the gay part, the TV part. I can easily see him as the dumb-but-well-meaning sidekick on a bad Fox sitcom).
Ron: Definite anger issues. Never trust a person with no lips.
Jason: I knew a guy with the same smarmy smile. Most insincere, self-righteous kissass I’ve ever known. So it’s hard for me to look at him, let alone judge. But there’s zero chemistry between him and Deanna anyway.
Twilley: Cannon fodder.
Science Teacher Guy: Possible surprise candidate. Probably the only intelligent guy in the group. And say what you will about Deanna, she comes off as not too stupid. (Pretty too, although she reminds me a lot of the heroine in a Disney film).
Ryan: Why is it that all the ‘Christians’ on these shows are the biggest snakes of all? Guy spent most of his time taking potshots, setting them up in front of the others.
Bearded Brad guy: Blind alley. Either that, or he and Deanna are already together and the show is designed around them.
The Cook: Huh? Looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy.
Bruce Lee with the Elvis haircut: Not a chance in hell.

"The girls always boo hoo and wonder what's wrong with themselves. It's interesting to see the guys - they get really pissed off and wonder what's wrong with DeAnna."
This is like enough to write a thesis on.
Oh and seriously, you have to wonder about the people that go on this show. Men and women alike. How do say to yourself...I'm going to go on an ABC reality show to find love. How does that thought even form in your head?

HG-
Don't be too impressed with the home runs, they brought the home run wall in to half-field.
I like Jeremy. Ron's a douche.
I have to agree with Chris too, I would have been insulted to have creepy Twilley and Sean and his mullet stay over me.
Also, for making such a big deal of having guys live in the mansion we sure didn't see any of it, which makes me think it's not that big of an advantage.

Thank goodness that the recap came!!! Whoa, I was gettin' desperate!
I got really annoyed at Sean during his piano scene with Deanna. Bleh, he is SO uptight! It would have turned me off if a guy couldn't just go with it. If he can't deal with an interrupting toy, imagine how he'd be with an interrupting human! So ANAL!
I don't like Ron, either. He's got definite anger management issues. I wonder why she doesn't see that...yet.
I like Science teacher guy the best. I like Jeremy, too, but something seems a bit off about him. I don't know what it is yet!
Anyway, much to my surprise, I REALLY like this season. Two hours and all!

Something must have been wrong with that Chris (aka Greg Brady) in order to keep a couple of those other jackasses.
Praise Jesus the bible basher is gone.
Ragin'Ron is going to go beserk.
The fugly Greek guy that thinks he is so hot got booted - serves him right, that egotistical twat.
I could go one about the other fellas, but I'll leave it at the douchebags that got kicked off and:
Puppy Dog Jason - it's like his friggin show. And I'm telling you he could be the last one standing. Ruff, ruff, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, pant, fart.

Does anyone know why Jason is a single Dad? It's not that common, so it sticks out...
6 of 10 | Posted by dani2526 | Posted on June 2, 2008 4:24 PM
Dani, probably because his wife dumped him for being an insufferable douchebag. It's the smile. Ick. Anyway, he didn't say he's raising his kid, just that he's leaving him for six weeks. Which probably means the kid misses a total of three actual visits. If he makes it to the end.

Hey HG! Great (late-spank-spank) recap! I still didn't see this one, but I've caught up with this week. I'm with you on the 2 hours tho--Tivo was paused many, many times, and I had to push through to finish.
Ron was the biggest *ss to me, but probably the one I'd do in a dark alley. The riddler, Twilley and the mullet are, huhs!?
I don't have a favorite, nor to I particularly care, hope she finds who she wants, and I agree that Jeremy, Teach, Jason, and stubble are the front runners . . . .

My favorite thing about Ryan was how overly dramatic he was. At the magic house: "If i don't get this rose tonight, I'm definitely going home!" then during the push-up competition he was like "I have to win this, i will win this." Then he promptly lost. It just made me laugh, and then the comment about friendliest 8th grader. Wow - I wish he was still on the show.
These guys are lame.

Love the recaps, but I have to object to the bashing of Jesse or "The Riddler". Honestly he seems sweet, supportive of the other guys and overall there for the right reasons. Just because he's a snowboarder doesn't make him a slacker. He was on MTV's MADE where he taught a girl to become a snowboarder.
I'd rather give him a chance than Jason. Something about him just doesn't sit right, too needy...
