We'll have the synopsis for you soon.
Welcome to The Bachelorette! But first, painful memories ...
FLASHBACK! DeAnna courts 11th season Bachelor Brad Womack but it ends tragically. Brad doesn't love DeAnna. He denies her a rose and breaks her heart.
PRESENT DAY! DeAnna is back, only this time she will be the object of many man's pursuit. "I learned a lot from dating Brad and I won't make the same mistake twice,"she says. Last week, DeAnna met her beaus, did some flirting and handed out roses. Now, fifteen men remain.
We begin with the fellas emerging from a stretch limo. Host Chris Harrison explains the rules of the game (dates, roses, eliminations, etc.). The first "date cards" will arrive later that day. Also, the guys will NOT live in the palatial digs with DeAnna. Instead, they'll bunk together in the guest house (take THAT, good-looking dudes).
HOWEVER, Chris informs the stricken beefcakes that three of the suitors will earn the right to sleep in the house, giving them a "huge advantage." Jeremy, Jesse and Richard, first-impression rose winners last week, will be the first lucky trio.
Barber shop owner Ron doesn't like it, noting that first impressions are "important after all."
"Living with three guys is going to be very interesting," DeAnna says. "And I do believe this is the best way to find love."
Meanwhile, the remaining bachelors follow Chris to the guest house. Lawyer Fred dubs this the "walk of shame." Ron thinks he spotted a goat leaving as the men walked in. One assumes Ron is being sarcastic. Pro basketball Graham notices the outside showers, prompting Twilley to predict much "shrinkage."
The lucky in-house trio arrives with date cards. Going out with DeAnna tonight are: Jason, Ryan, Twilley, Sean, Paul, Fred and Richard. The card reads: "Do you believe in magic?"
DeAnna greets her dates for the evening. The gang jumps into the limo and heads to an exclusive magic club. Pro football player Ryan, meanwhile, just wants to make the "other guys disappear." Clever, that Ryan.
A magician emerges and starts performing tricks. Lots of "Oohs" and "Aahs" follow. DeAnna acts as the magician's assistant. DeAnna chooses Jason as a second assistant. The pair climbs into a box and ... disappears! The magician leaves the stage. Show over. The remaining six men appear glum.
Jason and DeAnna, meanwhile, reappear backstage. They discuss Jason's hometown and music. Jason likes "old Michael Jackson." If DeAnna could eat anything, it would be "any Mexican food." Jason asks if DeAnna would like to have kids. She says yes. Later, Jason regrets not opening up about his son Ty.
Back at the homestead, pro snowboarder Jesse presents the guys with a date box. It reads: "Graham, let's head to the shore to get swept away." Graham believes the other men are jealous as he got the first "one-on-one."
Back at the magic club, DeAnna requests private time with martial-arts master Sean. They chit-chat in a love seat when the piano suddenly starts playing by itself. Sean and DeAnna are startled ... and then confused. Sean grows frustrated that the piano is "mocking" him.
The two return. DeAnna pulls a rose card from the magician's deck. The mood turns briefly serious. Then, the men start performing magic tricks of their own. Twilley puts on a play instead -- one that never seems to end. Ryan thinks the long performance calls into question whether Twilley "really cares about DeAnna's heart."
Science teacher Richards gets some private time with DeAnna. He makes a paper flower for her. "Aww!," coos DeAnna.
Twilley tells Paul that he is "just along for the ride." Ryan calls out Twilley, accusing him of not being there for the "right reasons." "You seem like the least genuine person of the 15 guys here," Ryan says. Oh, snap!
Ryan gets his own private time. He tells DeAnna he doesn't speed or curse. DeAnna jokes that she might corrupt him. Ryan claims that he is just disciplined. "Faith, family and football," Ryan says. The 28-year-old virgin is soon interrupted by Paul.
Sales manager Paul admits that he has been engaged before. He and Deanna share a similar five-year plan. In short: spouse and kids.
It's time for DeAnna to hand out her rose card, which the magician turns into a real rose. Paul, the youngest pup in the litter at 23, receives the first rose. He is "floored."
Back from commercial break, Graham and DeAnna head for the shore. DeAnna notes that Graham is "smoking hot." The two frolic in the surfm, then fly a kite with limited success.
Another date box arrives back at the ranch. Chris, Robert, Brian, Jesse, Ron, Jeremy and Eric will be "stepping up the plate" later. Could this be baseball related?
Back at the shore, DeAnna is finding her date with Graham to be "soothing." Graham explains that he just got out of a relationship, but is ready to make a connection with someone else. DeAnna is afraid of being hurt again.
Back home, the men discuss sex. The conversation makes Ryan slightly uncomfortable. He tells the group that he is a virgin. The men are shocked. Ryan explains that he is waiting for marriage.
Graham and DeAnna roast marshmallows. DeAnna presents the Southern hottie with a rose. The pair make out. A connection has been made.
DeAnna returns home with Graham to find Twilley waiting by the curb. He creepily watches the pair kiss each other goodbye, then springs from the bushes. The moment is awkward to say the least.
The next day, the second seven-man group head for Dodger Stadium. High-school football coach Brian feels like a "little kid." Tommy Lasorda emerges from the dugout. He gives the boys uniforms and then a pep talk.
Tommy picks medical salesman Chris to sing the National Anthem. Unfortunately, Chris cant sing, much less remember the words. His performance produces much cringing. Next up: batting practice. Ron hits a pair of homers. Chef Robert can't hit a thing. Brian also hits two. Jeremy hits six! Can Chris redeem himself? Nope. He strikes out.
Real-estate attorney and homerun king Jeremy gets private time in the Dodgers dugout. Jeremy admits he is shy. DeAnna demands to know something about Jeremy. Jeremy explains that his mom and dad passed away with 18 months of each other. DeAnna can sympathize. Her mom passed away when she was 12.
Senior analyst Eric is next up for private time. DeAnna observes that Eric only seems to talk to about his Greek heritage. Eric, meanwhile, only talks about his Greek heritage. Now it's Brians turn for alone time in the outfield. He says that it's important that he gets married to his best friend.
Back at the ranch, Jason talks on the phone to his 3-year-old son. He then tells the guys that he has a son. Ryan observes that this piece of info could be a "deal breaker."
DeAnna takes Jeremy under the stadium. The two suddenly appear on the Jumbotron, complete with sound. The men watch as DeAnna gives Jeremy a rose. Later, they all gather in the outfield to watch a fireworks display.
Back from break, it's elimination time. Debt-manager Twilley asks to steal DeAnna away, commenting that she "obviously doesn't have a case of the Twilleys right now." He apologizes for interrupting her date with Graham.
Meanwhile, some of the men are jealous that Jeremy received a rose when he already lives in the house.
Jeremy responds by interrupting Twilley and stealing DeAnna away. Inside, the men are even more upset. Jeremy, it seems, is the "front runner." Living up to the title, Jeremy moves in for a make-out session with DeAnna.
Robert admits that Jeremy "bugs" him. Ron ups the ante by calling Jeremy "unprofessional" and "immature." Ryan, who supposedly doesn't curse, curses at Jeremy. Just then, DeAnna enters and takes Ron outside.
Ron asks DeAnna if his divorce bothers her. She says no. Ron proclaims that he is "deeply excited" to get married again and wants to have three kids.
Back in the main room, Jeremy challenges Ryan to a push-up contest. Everyone decides to compete. Jeremy, not wanting to create more animosity, "takes a dive." Jesse wins with 98 push ups. His prize: one-on-one time with DeAnna. He says that he is more than willing to move from Colorado because he can't be a snowboarder forever.
Host Chris emerges. DeAnna thanks the guys for putting their lives "on hold" and then readies to break some hunky hearts. She passes out roses, giving one to ... Ron ... Jesse ... Robert ... Brian ... Jason ... Fred ... Sean ... Richard ... and finally ... wait for it ... keep waiting for it ... OK, we think you've waited long enough ... Twilley!
Eric, Chris and Ryan say their goodbyes. "I was voted 'Friendliest Person' in eight grade," Ryan notes. "And she obviously thought differently."
DeAnna, meanwhile, begins to cry. She leaves the room to compose herself, then returns a short time later.
"Tonight was rough, but it only gets harder," she says.
Ain't that the truth, sister.
Host Chris raps with the final 12 contestants inside the sparse accommodations of the guest house (dubbed "the outhouse"). His big news: Paul, Graham and Jeremy -- rose winners last week -- will be moving to the penthouse. Science teacher Richard, who will be leaving the big house, wonders about "DeAnna's feelings."
The three new housemates meet DeAnna at the pool. She wants Graham to spend the "rest of the time at the house without his shirt on." After some frolicking in the pool, the foursome moves to the hot tub. Back at the outhouse, the boys appoint Jeremy and Graham the front runners.
"I don't think Jeremy is the right guy for DeAnna," chef Robert says. The other men no doubt share this opinion.
After rubbing some suntan lotion on DeAnna, the boys head back to the outhouse with a date card. Richard will be joining DeAnna for "rooftop romance." Richard is thrilled, dubbing this "put up or shut up time."
Back from commercial break, DeAnna emerges in a stunning black dress. "It's like she has a closet full of perfection," an awed Jesse gushes.
Richard and DeAnna head out in the back of a limo. They head to the roof of a "landmark building" in Los Angeles for champagne and dinner. "What is the most romantic thing youve done for a girl?" DeAnna asks. Richard tells of a picnic dinner he once planned on the cliffs of Ontario. The science teacher then tells her about the stars.
Cut to the outhouse, where the next group date is announced. Brian, Sean, Twilley, Jesse, Graham, Fred, Robert, Ron, Paul and Jeremy will be "city slickers" who "leave L.A. behind."
Back on the roof, Richard worries about his income. DeAnna says she just wants her man -- whoever he ends up being -- to be "happy at his job." And just to be safe, she also has "no problem working." Then Richard drops a semi-bomb: He has never brought a girlfriend home.
Not yet convinced the spark is there, DeAnna moves inside for another drink. Richard, meanwhile, is planning to lean in for a kiss. After a few moments of non-speaking and awkward hair stroking, DeAnna heads downstairs for a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city.
Richard is falling in love, but DeAnna isn't feeling it. She stops the carriage and tells Richard that she just can't give him the rose. DeAnna starts crying. Richard is stone faced. The two share an awkward embrace. "Good luck," Richard says before leaving the carriage. He is going home -- and not to the outhouse.
The next day, the group gets ready for the big date by donning boots, cowboy hats and flannel shirts. Jesse says that Jeremy is the main competition and that everyone "really wants to bring that dude down."
The group arrives at a dude ranch and DeAnna announces that "we're fixin' to do some line dancing!" The men take lessons from a real cowboy with varying degrees of success.
Back at the house, Jason talks to his son Ty on the phone. He looks at pictures of Ty. He worries that DeAnna will not accept Ty. He hope to tell DeAnna about Ty on their one-on-one date later.
Meanwhile, the faux cowboys have moved onto bull riding. Snowboarder Jesse performs the best. Now it's DeAnna turn. She decides to "play a trick" on the guys by faking an injury (albeit none-too-convincingly). Jesse is first on the scene to "save" her, earning him some personal time. Yee-haw!
Jesse explains that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was an "arm doll." He wants someone who is a real individual. He also wants to live with someone who allows him to be himself -- "that guy who farts at night in bed." DeAnna, amazingly, says she knows what he means.
Back at the dude ranch, DeAnna confronts Ron about calling out Jeremy for not being a guy's guy. Ron says his disagreement with Jeremy has nothing to do with her "process."
At the campfire, Ron recounts the conversation, saying Jeremy lacks "a level of tact." Jeremy calls Ron close minded. He then questions Rons tact. The two will never be golf buddies.
Graham and Fred, meanwhile, plan a sneak attack. They creep up on Jeremy's alone time with DeAnna, scaring both of them. The strategy works. The two get some two-on-one time with the beloved bachelorette.
Robert pulls DeAnna aside. He says he felt "huge chemistry" the first night and not much the second. Now, however, he "can't feel his fingertips." The line impresses DeAnna because she gives him arose. Robert calls it "a turning point."
The next day, Robert reads a note from DeAnna telling Jason to "reach for the stars. But will she accept Ty?
DeAnna arrives for her date. Minutes later, a helicopter lands near the house. Jason "can not even believe it." High-school football coach Brian is jealous. Not only does he enjoy DeAnna's company, but he really would like a ride in a helicopter.
One exhilarating chopper ride later, the happy couple enter the Mount Wilson Observatory to have dinner under the stars (perhaps those lessons from Richard will come in handy after all). Two eat dinner in the observatory library. Jason says: "There's one thing you dont know about me." It's time to break the news about lil' Ty.
"The most important thing in my world is ... my three-year-old son," Jason says.
DeAnna tells Jason not to be nervous. Emboldened, Jason tells Ty stories then breaks out Ty pictures. "He's so handsome!" DeAnna coos. Jason then explains that the break up of his marriage was not his decision.
Her turn to share, DeAnna tells Jason about the death of her mother. She also says that she never dated a guy who "cared to know about my mother." Feeling very close to Jason, DeAnna gives him a coveted rose. The pair moves into the observatory to study the stars. This leads to a downright passionate make-out session.
The next day, DeAnna takes all the guys to meet someone who is "very special to her." That very special someone turns out to be talk-show host Ellen Degeneres. Ellen "obviously sees through people," DeAnna observes. Appropriately then, Ellen will choose who receives a rose.
Ellen sits down with the guys, asking them their favorite thing about DeAnna. All the men gush. Ellen then asks who has kissed DeAnna. Jeremy, Graham and Robert raise their hands. Ron then reveals that he has had the longest relationship in the group at 12 years. Graham has had the shortest at five months. DeAnna then picks guys for the inevitable dance off, leading to much embarrassment for poor Brian.
Ellen and DeAnna then huddle to make a decision. "Ellen really put a lot of things in perspective for me," DeAnna says.
The boys are called out for their final test. The men drop their pants to reveal Ellen boxer shorts. Ellen takes a good look then makes her final decision. Fred gets the rose!
Back at the house, it's elimination time. DeAnna takes Ron outside, worrying that he is more concerned with the other guys -- especially Jeremy -- than her. Ron confesses that he woke up with "a little case of the DeAnnas" that morning. The conversation goes south from there. DeAnna asks Ron to name something fun about him. The question seems to utterly confuse the man.
Jeremy interrupts Ron's personal time with DeAnna. Ron refuses to shake Jeremy's hand on his way inside. Walking away, DeAnna whispers to Jeremy, "Thank you very much." One gets the feeling that Ron's time on the show is growing short. Inside, Ron vents to the boys. "Jeremy lacks integrity," he fumes.
Jeremy asks DeAnna if she would consider moving to Texas. DeAnna insists that she doesn't want to move too far from her family, but then says she would move for a guy. Jeremy takes this pseudo answer as a positive. They kiss.
Graham and DeAnna take a walk. DeAnna admits that she is worried that Graham hasn't dated enough to know what he wants. Graham says he cares for DeAnna very much, but admits that this "process with the other guys" is a bit painful. DeAnna, of course, understands. They kiss.
DeAnna takes Jason outside. She has officially named a star after Ty -- and has the certificate to prove it. "That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever given me," Jason says. DeAnna just wanted Jason to know that she is "okay with it all." They kiss.
Host Chris arrives. It's decision time. DeAnna leaves the room to think. The guys sweat. This isn't going to be easy.
Chris greets the men. DeAnna emerges. She gives a rose to ... Twilley ... Jesse ... Jeremy ... Brian .... Graham ... and finally ... Sean. It's time for Paul and Ron to say goodbye.
"Sometimes the tree gets knocked down before it ever gets to bear its fruit," Ron observes. "That's the way it is. That's the way of the universe." He also predicts that if DeAnna chooses Jeremy, then the relationship "is absolutely doomed to failure."
Ah, romance.
Host Chris congratulates Robert, Jason and Fred on moving up to the big house. He then fills the guys in on what to expect: a group date, a one-on-one date and a two-on-one date. One man will not return from the latter, so all bags must be packed in advance. Chris continues: The guys will have to earn their spot on a one-on-one date by writing and performing an original song for DeAnna.
"I suck at both of these things," Jesse says. Quips Sean: "I would rather be digging my own grave than what I'm about ready to do right now." Brian finds the whole project "exciting." Graham already has three verses written, earning him the nickname "Bon Jovi" from the gang.
The performances begin. Fred's off-key warble seems to charm DeAnna. Graham runs through his song as quickly as possible. Jeremy's rap is cringe worthy, as is Twilley's spoken word effort. Soon, it is Jesse's turn. He gets down on one knee and sings, elliciting an "Awww!" from DeAnna. Finally, Brian performs "House of my pain."
"It's midnight in the house of my pain/ You've stolen my heart, now I got something to gain," sings an uber-serious Brian. The group can barely keep from laughing.
DeAnna, after complimenting Robert and Sean, chooses cute Jesse. The snow boarder will be going on the one-on-one date.
Back from commercial break, Jesse and the dudes discuss his one-on-one when there's a knock at the door. Hanging on the door is a suit and two tickets. Jesse, who had planned on wearing jeans and "those crazy shoes," has to dress the part.
DeAnna emerges from the main house in a stunning blue dress. Jesse, meanwhile, is all nerves in his new suit. The two travel by limo, sipping champagne. They pull up to a theater, where the marquee reads: "Jesse, one night only ... just for you. Love DeAnna."
"This is out. of. control," an awed Jesse comments. The two head inside for dinner by the stage.
Back at house, another date card arrives. Brian, Twilley, Sean, Jeremy, Graham and Jason will be heading out on a group date. The card reads: "Gentlemen, start your engines." The guys high five. That means the two-on-one date will be Robert and Fred. They start packing.
Back at the theater, DeAnna suggests that Jesse take the stage. Jesse reads his poem entitled "DeAnna." An excerpt:
"DeAnna, you make me smile from the inside and laugh on the outside/ DeAnna, you had Tommy Lasorda make fun of me and Ellen nudge me/ DeAnna, I hope we can grow as one while we bask in the sun."
Jesse says his feelings for DeAnna are "as real as real can be." DeAnna confesses that she is not typically attracted to guys like Jesse, but she finds him to be "real." She gives him a rose. Suddenly, the curtain lifts. Natasha Bedingfield emerges, singing for the young not-quite lovers. Jesse feels "swept away."
The next day, the guys board a bus for the group date. They pull up to a stock-car speedway. The dudes once again high five. Says martial arts master Sean: "This is my element."
DeAnna explains that the man with the highest speed wins something "special." Brian goes first. After mastering the clutch, he comes in at 140 miles per hour. Jason floors it next, but reaches only 138. Graham manages 136. Competitive Jeremy gets 129 ... and isnt happy about it. A terrified Twilley reaches 140.5. Finally, Sean proves prophetic, winning with a top speed of 141.
Sean and DeAnna enjoy some one-on-one time. DeAnna reveals that she once lived in Kentucky -- not far from Sean. "You see? I told you! We got this little bluegrass connection," Sean says.
Now it's DeAnna's turn to drive. She peels out and records a 141.6 to best all the guys. "This is my wife," Sean gushes.
Jeremy, aggressive as ever, requests private time with DeAnna. He admits to being upset over failing the driving test. The rest of the guys, meanwhile, discuss Jeremy's aggressive approach. It makes Twilley think of the "parable of the tortoise and the hare." Jeremy, naturally, is the hare. And we all know how that parable ends.
Graham decides to interrupt Jeremy's private time with DeAnna. Graham and DeAnna are very touchy feely. DeAnna invites Graham to kiss her. He responds, "I don't want to be one of a bunch." Awkwardness! DeAnna says she is hurt. "Maybe that's just a little of what I've been feeling," Graham explains. DeAnna is on the verge of tears.
"It happened before that I've ended up with someone who in the end left me crying and brokenhearted," DeAnna says. "I will not take that same chance again."
Back at the house, Robert and Fred find their date box. The card reads: "Who has the recipe for love?" Robert claims that he, in fact, has such a recipe. Fred, on the other hand, believes he has a pretty good recipe himself.
At the track, DeAnna decides its time to hand out the rose. She settles on Sean. "It was the perfect ending to a perfect date," Sean says.
Back from break, the guys at the outhouse decide they'll plan a party for DeAnna. Once she arrives, however, things quickly go had. DeAnna calls the party "awkward." Graham, meanwhile, is bothered once again to see his girl hanging out with the others. "Graham is pretty much avoiding me," DeAnna says. Robert, meanwhile, sits inside. He tries to explain his behavior to DeAnna, but only succeeds in confusing her.
Upset, DeAnna confronts the group. "Right now I should be the happiest person in the world and y'all are breaking my heart," she cries. "If you dont want to hang out, go home!" DeAnna storms back to her house.
Back from break, Robert prepares to redeem himself. Fred, meanwhile, sees Robert's breakdown as a golden opportunity for advancement. DeAnna, trying to put the afternoon behind her, arranges for the trio to have dinner at a mansion in the Hollywood hills.
Robert explains that the most romantic thing he has ever done is take his ex-fiance on a helicopter ride in Vegas. Fred's moment was to surprise his honey with a lake-side getaway. Robert then takes DeAnna inside for some private time. He leans in to kiss her, but she turns her head. "Maybe here," she says, offering her cheek. Ouch. Despite this dodge, Robert knows that there is "a real connection."
Now it's Fred's turn for private time. He explains that the experience has been difficult, but he is fighting for DeAnna. Fred asks her to reserve a "small area" of her heart for him. Afterwards, Fred feels confident that he will get a rose.
Back at the outhouse, the boys gorge on sushi and predict that Fred will be the one coming back that night.
A few words from our sponsors later, DeAnna breaks the bad news to Robert: He's going home.
"I am destroyed," Robert says on his ride home and ... off the show. "Tonight I obviously didn't have the recipe for love."
DeAnna returns to the table with Fred. She says he is a "great guy," but doesn't see "forever" with him. In a shocking turn of events, neither suitor gets the rose. "I can not bring myself to lead you on," says an emotional DeAnna. Fred says his level-headed goodbyes.
DeAnna returns to the house to find Jason -- the only guy left in the main house. Jason comforts DeAnna by the fire near the pool. "Coming home to Jason, he made me feel really good," she says. A lengthy make-out session follows.
It's cocktail party/ elimination time! Jason and DeAnna enter together ... much to the chagrin of Jeremy. DeAnna spends private time with Jeremy, Brian, Twilley ... and then Graham. DeAnna admits (again) to being hurt at the racetrack. Graham says seeing DeAnna hurt caused him "pain." A brief make-out session follows.
The group then heads to the pool for some big-time frolicking. It ends with seven guys and DeAnna in the hot tub. Host Chris breaks up the fun. It's decision time -- but not before another set of commercials.
DeAnna, who has exchanged her bikini for evening wear, emerges. She thanks the men one last time and then reaches for the roses. The following bachelors get a flower: Jason ... Jeremy ... Twilley ... and finally ... Graham.
Football coach Brian is heading for the sidelines. "That's too bad," he says. "Because I think it would have behooved DeAnna to get to know me better."
We are behooved to wait until next week to discover the fate of the final six men.
Host Chris welcomes us to "DeAnna Tells All," a "revealing inside look at what has happened so far." It's the first time The Bachelorette has done such a mid-season update and Chris seems quite excited about it.
Chris sits down with DeAnna in front of a crackling fireplace. Her biggest surprise: finding out that Ryahn is a virgin. DeAnna explains that she had no idea until she watched the first few episodes.
And what are some memorable moments? Well, Chris, we're glad you asked. DeAnna recalls Paul jumping into the pool and emerging in skimpy DeAnna swim trucks. "I was so embarrassed for Paul," she said. Another nice memory: Rob the cook fixing DeAnna a special meal. That, she explains, was thinking "outside the box."
Chris explains that people always come up to him and ask, "How much of this is real?" DeAnna sympathizes. She too gets that question all the time! DeAnna explains that she is satisfied with the editing. "It's all real," she says.
Chris moves on to a "stunning" moment: When Graham told DeAnna he didn't want to "follow up" other guys. DeAnna found that to be "stunning," as well. She just wants the stud basketball pro to let his guard down a little.
We move on a memory of Sean romancing DeAnna at the race track. Chris notes that DeAnna and Sean seem to share a real "connection." DeAnna agrees. "He took the time to get to know me," she says.
"Another guy you have a tremendous connection with is Jason," Chris explains. "And we all watched a couple of weeks ago as you learned that he has a son." Agreed once again, DeAnna says. We flashback to DeAnna telling Jason about the death of her mother. "Even re-watching it, it touched me," she explains.
Chris wonders if she will finally find true love. "I have faith that my husband is here," she says.
With that, we break for commercial.
Back from a too-long advertising deluge, we delve back into DeAnna's psyche. "I know everybody is wondering: How hard was it to send Richard home?" Chris asks. DeAnna explains that it was indeed difficult. "I knew that I couldn't fall in love with Richard," she says. DeAnna simply didnt want to lead the man on.
Now we turn our attention to the outhouse barbeque -- a disaster as faithful viewers already know. DeAnna says she felt alone during the party, which led to her breaking down in tears and berating the men. "This is not a joke to me," DeAnna explains.
DeAnna moves on to discussing the awkward Fred and Robert date ... including the super-awkward moment when Robert attempted to kiss DeAnna. She says it was "hard" to watch Robert lament his departure in the back of a limo. It was also "hard" to let Fred go because he is such a great guy. DeAnna says keeping Fred around would have been "coward-like" and that Fred doesn't deserve such treatment.
"I hope the viewers and, you know, the fans, and everyone who supports me and the rest of the guys out there see that I'm doing the right thing," DeAnna says.
Commercial time.
Were back. Chris gives us an update on former Bachelorette Trista, who is living happily ever after with Ryan. They're the "proud parents of a beautiful baby boy named Max." We go to Colorado where Ryan is a firefighter and Trista is a stay-at-home mom.
"I think that DeAnna is doing a really good job of being open and honest with her emotions," Trista says. "I feel connected to her."
Back from commercial break, Chris explains that it's time to get to know the final six guys a little better.
Jesse has broken numerous bones while snowboarding, including his big nose. We then see a montage of Jesse's activities thus far, including trading his wacky shoes for formal attire. "It's ridiculous how quickly someone can move you," Jesse explains.
Twilley, meanwhile, can laugh at himself. "I know I'm an idiot sometimes, but that's just who I am," he explains. We see a montage of Twilley acting like an idiot. At home, though, Twilley is quite serious. He started a real-estate software company in college and also likes to draw pictures. "The best thing that I have to offer DeAnna is my personality and my heart," he explains.
Jason is just a "regular guy" who lives in Seattle. He has backpacked through Europe and has had a son. "I've really put my life on hold to come here and I'm glad I did," he explains. We see a flashback of Jason telling DeAnna about his son. The moment "brought them together."
We see martial-arts master Sean kicking the living hell out of some wooden boards. Sean loves name-brand clothes and his five-bedroom home. He drives a Hummer and has an in-home tanning bed ("the darker you are, the thinner you look") and sauna. He also uses various hair products and skin lotions. Sean is also a "mama's boy" who talks to his mother multiple times a day.
Now it's time to spend some time with hottie Graham. We see a montage of DeAnna and Graham spending quality time together ... and making out. The only problem: Graham's guard is up. "I am not as vocal about my feelings as some of the other people," he says. Complicating the process is Graham's concern about DeAnna spending quality time with the other bachelors in the house.
Real-estate attorney Jeremy enjoys "extreme sports." We see him on a motorcycle and then working late as his "isolating" job. His best friend is his dog. Nevertheless, Jeremy feels there is a "void" in his life that DeAnna can fill. We see a flashback of Jeremy telling DeAnna that his parents passed away. "I've never really had that bond with someone," he says. "She just understood."
Back from break, Chris points out that DeAnna is down to six men from which to choose. "Right now, everybody seems to think Jeremy is the front runner," Chris says. DeAnna says there is no favorite and then re-explains what she likes about each of the men.
"It sounds like tonight is easily going to be hardest rose ceremony," Chris sagely observes.
A single bachelorette dates multiple men over several weeks, narrowing them down to hopefully find her true love.
