Wow...she cut Graham. At first I was shocked, I mean he was the "only guy she was falling in love with", but after I rewound the tape and watched the uncomfortable silences and riveting conversation (ie...what are you thinking?....Umm nothing...I mean everything...Umm good luck I guess), I sort of understood. She's scared he's not going to love her back. If I were the one desperately hanging on to him with my arms around his neck, waiting for him to show me some real emotion, I might doubt him too. But sometimes, if you think you are falling in love with a guy like Graham, you just have to accept the guy for who he is. Graham is not the kind of guy that's going to open up after dating someone a couple of weeks. Granted...when you have three other guys to choose from, who are opening up, it's easier to walk away. But she knew he was having major problems with the other guys being in the picture and he's never had a real relationship. I support her decision, in that she was probably right about him not being ready for marriage, but I've always believed that you have to have "that feeling" at least in the beginning, if you expect a relationship to work. And the only guy she has "that feeling" with is Graham.

The one guy that I will never believe that she will find it with is Jesse. I will say however that I was extremely impressed by the piggy back snowboarding stunt. That was kind of rad...is that still a word? Anyway...Jesse definitely showed some skills on the slopes and who doesn't love a guy who uses a mini fridge as a night stand? Beer anyone? Perfect! But to be brutally honest...there is no way this is going to happen. DeAnna wants a guy to come to her rescue. Jesse is more like the loyal dog who licks your face until the real men come and carry you to safety. Don't get me wrong...I really like Jesse...and he did good on the kiss when he finally got around to it, but the poor kid is just setting himself up for the biggest wipeout of his life. I hope someone comes along to take care of him. I think he'll make someone very happy someday...just not DeAnna.

Now then there's Jeremy. On your mark...get set...and hold on because you're riding in the bitch seat. Jeremy could possibly sweep DeAnna off her feet or at least whisk her away on his two wheeled chariot. He is the perfect man, with the perfect house, and the perfect dog. Jeremy puts it all out there. He shares with her his feelings, his emotions...even his diary. When he read the letter he wrote about his mother...I was gutted. If that didn't tear you up, you're dead inside! Especially, when he told her that he made his mom a promise that he would find someone that would make her proud. I was pretty much sold at that point. Up until this week, I really wasn't feeling ole Jeremy. I thought he was just your typical boring guy with no personality and a great set of abs. But when he said, "I don't just want her in my life, I need her in my life"...even I had to go and get a team Jeremy t-shirt. Now if she doesn't pick that boy...she's crazy!

And last but not least...we have Jason. That boy looked like a little Mexican jumping bean hopping up and down waiting for DeAnna to meet him under the Space Needle...which apparently DeAnna has never heard of. He had all the excitement of a teenage boy getting ready to hop on a roller coaster. But nothing could have prepared me for the day in the park with Ty. That kid...how do you not love that kid? "Who's the pretty girl?", Jason says as Ty points to DeAnna. That kid is ten times better than a puppy. DeAnna said, "No one grows up thinking, I want to be a step mother". But I think as you get older you realize that no one is perfect and everyone has a past. So, if you can find someone who truly makes you happy and you can find it in your heart to love their child and share your life and your love with both of them...why not give them a shot? Jason's family was wonderful...very loving and thoughtful. They even went out of their way to make DeAnna feel at home by preparing an entirely Greek meal in her honor. I have to say that I have a little trouble with the idea of Jason leaving the most important thing in his life to go on a reality TV show, but overall I think Jason's a pretty good guy. He's going to be a hard one to say goodbye to.

DeAnna always seems to have the perfect answer to every question. She is either extremely well poised or extremely well coached. For her sake and the boys', I hope she is for real. I don't want to find out six months from now that she's dumped Jeremy, Jason, or Jesse (hey they all start with J) to go running after Graham. Maybe they'll just become pen pals, since he likes to write so much. Tune in next week as we see what happens in the fantasy suite...maybe Jesse will grow a pair.
