Similarly, I'm having trouble jumping on DeAnna's Jeremy bandwagon. He's always the first through the door, the first to greet DeAnna — his need to be first is off-putting. Did he say last night during the rose-ceremony party that he doesn't kiss and tell and then admit to kissing, or was that just some editing trickery on the part of the producers? And even though all the bachelors have come down on him for interrupting other guys' alone time, he busted in on Ron's pre-rose-ceremony chat last night with DeAnna. But she didn't seem to mind, saying, ''Thank you,'' as he escorted her away. Granted, what turned out to be her last big conversation with Ron was completely uncomfortable for viewers too. Last week Ron felt he and DeAnna soul-swapped, and tonight he told her he woke up thinking she's not his type of girl but then her later talk of honesty changed his mind. Now, that's definitely not what a girl wants when she asks for honesty.
What a girl named DeAnna wants is honesty like Jason's, as he finally came clean about his 3-year-old son, Tyler, on their helicopter-to-the-observatory date. He spoke openly about his divorce and his love for Tyler, which led DeAnna to speak openly about her mother's death, adding that none of the men she's ever dated had any interest in knowing about her mom. Man! That's rough! DeAnna's account of her mother's decline was heart wrenching and seemed to almost bring Jason to tears. Later, she got him all choked up again when she gave him the certificate that showed she had named a star after his son. Why do I have to have a cynical side that wonders if she's overcompensating, that she only did that to try to prove she's cool with his having a kid (when deep down she isn't, but no one will believe it because she bought him a friggin' star!)? Why? And while I'm asking questions, how can Ellen DeGeneres be so insightful, telling DeAnna that Graham looks like he's ''scared to death''? DeAnna is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, though — never mind that his longest relationship ever lasted five months. She's also willing to keep Jesse and his questionable fashion sense around; he finally donned a suit tonight: a wide pin-striped one with a hot mess of an orange tie. Kung fu master Sean got a haircut, but he could also use a tasteful dark suit.
How about you, TV Watchers? What has you buzzing from last night? Can we handle so much truth? Anyone else get a glimpse of high school coach Brian's ripped thighs? And which of the following Ron-isms were your favorite: Cream rises to the top? Where there's smoke, there's fire? Or my personal favorite: ''DeAnna...didn't reject me; she chose other guys. That's what happened.'' Oh, if we could only bottle Ron's positive outlook!
