Jesse & Jason Find out which one of these handsome fellas wants to make an honest woman out of former Bachelor castoff DeAnna Pappas...
Oh, wait, they both did. Find out which one she said yes to after the jump.
None of the above wasn't an option for DeAnna Pappas this time around.
The once-scorned Bachelor beauty picked Jesse Csincsak to call her own Monday on the season finale of The Bachelorette, accepting the 26-year-old pro snowboarder's proposal with a big ol' teary smile on her face.
Meaning, after visits with each other's families, some "alone time" in the Bahamas and weeks of soul-searching, Deanna Pappas, 26, picked Jesse Csincsak over 31-year-old account executive Jason Mesnick, both of whom asked her pop's permission for her hand in marriage.
"Jesse, would you accept this final rose?" Pappas asked her new fiancé. "I cannot believe that I'm going to marry this guy with the pink shoelaces!" she added, referring to his Day-Glo premiere-episode ensemble.
It may have seemed at first like Mesnick was the obvious choice, what with his tall-dark-and-handsomeness and his fearless declarations of love, established dependability and vows of forever.
But when did any red-blooded twenty something automatically go with what feels the safest?
"I was so ready to be in love again," Jason Mesnick said during the limo ride that carried him away from that oh-so-crappy moment in which he got down on one knee and she said, "No, I can't."
But "she wanted something I couldn't give her," he said.
And even though Jesse Csincsak wasn't exactly sure that he could give Pappas the world just yet, as he picked out a ring, he mused, "She's the one and that's all that matters."
The Colorado resident's initial visit with Deanna Pappas' family left a little to be desired in the minds of her dad, sister and brother, but some other relatives thought that Jason Mesnick's single-dad status might "fast-forward her life five years," whereas Jesse Csincsak was more of a "free spirit," like her.
The Atlanta native maintained that she was still hashing it out in her mind until the 11th hour.
"I still have the piece of paper where I was doing my pros and cons, because it was never an easy decision," the already-engaged Pappas told reporters last week during a conference call, per Reality TV World. "It was always a very, very hard decision for me."
"How are you supposed to look at someone and tell them that you care about them so much but you can't choose them because you care about the other guy more? That definitely does not make you feel good about yourself. I can promise you that."
She managed, though.
"When you see the final episode, it's so good—you're going to laugh and you're going to cry. It's just a beautiful episode," Pappas said, describing herself as "very happy, in love and engaged."
Deanna Pappas & Jesse Csincsak Not that Pappas and Csincsak's picture-perfect moment wasn't without its share of controversy, as countless fans couldn't quite get their minds around why she booted attorney Jeremy Anderson during the penultimate rose ceremony.
"I've never had my heart broken like this," Anderson, who was apparently too "perfect" for his own good, told her following the very unprivate farewell. "Today could potentially be one of the worst days I've ever had."
"I knew I didn't feel the same," Pappas explained.
"You always second-guess and wish you had said something or not said something. Me being in Jeremy's position before, of course it was hard to see him at [the Bachelorette special] The Men Tell All, of course it was hard to know that I broke his heart and he felt led on. That doesn't make anyone feel good."
Pappas did give Anderson, who also showed up on tonight's finale to plead his case, a plug as far as his eligibility is concerned: "Jeremy would make a great [Bachelor star] because he has everything to offer a woman," she said. "If he wanted to be the next Bachelor, I would totally support him."
But it was Csincsak whose Tacori diamond ring shined the brightest in Pappas' eyes, and now she's got a wedding to plan…for sometime.
"We're definitely taking it day by day," Pappas said when asked whether they'd set the date.
But "it's going to be big," she added. "I have a huge family, there's no way I could cut down my list. We've already thought about it, and it's just ridiculous. It's going to be a big wedding, and I'm kind of a traditional kind of girl. I want lots of white."
And, like Trista Rehn, she might want cameras, too.
"I can't say I put a lot of thought into it, but I'm not really opposed to letting those fans into that part of my life," Pappas said.
A newly betrothed Bachelorette wouldn't have it any other way.
I’m talking Bachelorette again peeps. Sorry for those of you who don’t watch but I’m totally hooked on this season and I just gotta dish.
Okay, so tonight we saw Jeremy get the long overdue boot. I know, I know. A lot of you liked him. Why? Well now thatis beyond me. Kickin’ abs aside, Jeremy’s got nuttin’. He is dull as a slice of Domino’s pizza. DeAnna kept saying that he was perfect and that she would be ‘lucky’ to be his wife. Why? Because he had a nice apartment and a great income career? I suppose that a life with Jeremy would have been stable and prosperous but it almost certainly wouldn’t have been happy. Take it from someone who knows. Going the “safe” route isn’t always the best decision.
Last week I couldn’t get over the fact that she kicked Graham to the curb. Again, I know, I know. Most everybody agrees that Graham was too immature for a serious relationship and that had DeAnna rolled the dice on him she would have come up a day late and a dollar short. I’m not convinced though.
Here’s the thing: DeAnna is familiar to me. Not because I know her but because I can’t tell you how much she reminds me of myself. For those of you who don’t know me personally you need look no further than this season of the Bachelorette to find a model of my personality. And when she let Graham go I very nearly cried because I felt like she was making a gargantuan mistake. Graham, you see, reminds me very much of the love of my life (yes, that would be my husband thanksforasking).
When I met Jeff I had my doubts let me just say. You’ll have to keep in mind that I was a mother of three and inviting him into our lives was very risky for me. I wondered how a man as immatureyoung as he was would step up to the challenge of becoming a stable and positive influence on the three most important people in my life.
I mean for real, what kind of guy can go from zero to three kids in no time flat? Successfully I mean. Wouldn’t you know that the undeniable chemistry between us though (very much like what DeAnna had with Graham) left me unable to walk away. And I’m not talking physical stuff here my friends (because I am well versed on what the phrase TMI means for starters) but I’m talking about that nameless something we shared that bonded us so tightly that I couldn’t imagine a life without him.
I spent many a sleepless night wondering if the choice I was sure to make would turn out disastrous. In the end though I rolled the dice and as you all witnessed this past weekend in his guest blog posts one and two, I came up with a lucky 7.
Okay okay, back to DeAnna.
Now that Graham is gone my heart belongs to Jason. Jesse is a great guy and I’m sure he’ll make some snowbunnygal very happy one day. Not DeAnna though. Not this time.
Jason and big D come close to having what Graham and big D had. And lucky for her, I think it was early enough in the game that she will be able to put Graham out of her mind. If I were Jason though, I’d be just a tad insecure in Graham’s presence.
Here’s what I’m laying out for all you Bachelorette fans.
D is going to choose Jason. Hands down. No questions asked. He is cute and comfortable and fun and they even have some sparks flying. He already has Ty so there is no doubt that he is 100% ready for the marriage commitment that Miss D is so eager to make. She’ll have that first child by the time she is 30 (2 if you count Ty) and her and Jason’s baby will beat Trista and Ryan’s kid in a cute contest any day of the week. That was mean. Disregard that last part.
Of course she’ll have to deal with the dummy of an ex-wife if she is, in fact, still involved. And that will be tough. Again, take it from someone who knows. But it will all be worth it because both Jason and DeAnna are totally HQP’sand they are practically guaranteed to live happily ever after. Just like my other favorite reality couple, Rob and Amber, or Romber as they’ve lovingly been dubbed.
Ew, that could be a problem though. What do Jason and DeAnna become? JasAnna? DeAson? Yikes. Forget I mentioned it. Let’s just go back to believing that all reality TV marriages are matches made in heaven. Because clearly, that is what we all believe right?
Graham Bunn, a professional basketball player who is actually retired German pro baler and Appalachian St Mountaineer is trying to console De Anna Pappas a female in the popular reality show, ‘the bachelorette’ Bunn stars in the reality show and is an attractive male who has roused the faint hearts of millions of women who watch the show.
Graham dumped De Anna and was told her “You did what you thought you needed to do… so this is goodbye, forever,” in the running season of the Bachelorette. DeAnna eliminated him at the Rose Ceremony that followed DeAnna’s hometown visits with the four men that were still in the running to receive her final rose.
He has accused Anna of trying to use him. He decided to do away with any further relationship and accused her of attempting to “make it easier on herself” De Anna was shocked beyond words and additionally frustrated about Graham’s non-emotional reaction to his elimination making her to angrily vent further.
The bachelor was not amused by the bachelorette and was non committal. He remained stoic and principled. He has been starring in the bacherolette and seemed like the right candidate for the eventual scoop.
However, the feeling for him by De Anna might have infrutiated him and her eventual eliminating him from the contest might have led to him looking at her differently. She was emotionally and she said that “Believe me; this is not easy on me Graham! You have no idea what I’ve been going through the last few days.
You have no idea. You have no idea how hard it was to walk down there and stand there and call out those three names and you stand there swaying back and forth and smiling. You have no idea how hard that was! I can not be with someone who can not open up to me, that can’t deal with problems in a relationship, that can’t talk about things,” Graham remained un amused by her and he simply told her that “Obviously you don’t see in me what you need to continue on, so your decision is easy now,” He showed very little signs of anger at his elimination. He is one of a kind
De Anna tried words and she told him “You don’t get why it’s not — because I care deeply for you, I have true, genuine feelings and all I wanted was you to be that person in the end and open up and truly let your guard down and see what this could have been.
But you couldn’t do that. I am saying goodbye to the one person I thought I was falling in love with, that’s how hard this is for me,” DeAnna told Graham as she began crying. “Because the one person that I let my guard down [to] and was falling for was not doing the same to me and I can’t take the chance that in the end I would be standing there and you wouldn’t choose me in return. When you leave, it ends here.” Graham remains an enigmatic bachelor who turned the tables at the reality show.
