If anyone deserves to be ABC's new
Bachelorette, it's
DeAnna Pappas. After getting her heart broken on national television on season 11 of
The Bachelor, by
Brad Womack, DeAnna emerged a stronger and (surprisingly) happier person. She has stayed in touch with
Jenni Croft from that season and, tonight, she'll come to help DeAnna narrow down the playing field of 25 men. ABC better have picked some hotties for her! Bonus points if they are smart, sensitive, loyal, and open with her. It's time for a special 2 hour episode as
The Bachelorette unveils its fourth season premiere. I'll be updating all hour so keep refreshing and post your thoughts about this new crop of men!

I am glad Richard is gone. He was nice, but there was no spark. She obviously has the most chemistry with J...

Here we go again - reliving DeAnna's awful final rose ceremony with Brad. Whatever, that's in the past now. She deserves every amount of happiness in the world. This looks like it's going to be a really good season. I'm interested to see what happens.
ABC has definitely chosen a lot of different guys to meet DeAnna and that's a good thing. I haven't seen one that caught my eye yet but I'm lookin'! What's sillier?
Jon's hair or
Ryan's singing? The Steven Seagal dude makes me laugh. I think
Jason is cute! He's so cute - a single dad. Be still, my heart!
The guys are trashing Brad in the limo. HA! Good - he IS an idiot.
DeAnna looks very pretty, in a long, gold dress. Her conversation with
Chris Harrison feels a little scripted.
FINALLY! It's time to meet the guys. 9:30. I'm going to make a yes pile and a no pile based on first impressions. Let's see if DeAnna and I have the same taste.
YES:
Brian (Texas),
Graham,
Richard, JASON,
Donato,
Patrick C,
Eric, and
Jeremy.
NO:
Paul,
Sean,
Spero,
Jesse, Jon, Chris,
Brian (Indiana),
Jeffrey, Ryan,
Twilley,
Ron,
Luke,
Robert,
Chandler,
Greg,
Fred, and
Patrick D.
Jeez, I'm picky, huh? This show would be very quick for me! Ha!
Three first impression roses tonight. First one quickly goes to Jeremy. Similar taste so far. Jason grabs her. Go, Jason, go! Hopefully, he gets a rose. Ryan's a tool - he's hogging the blanket outside with DeAnna. Spero saved her but he's a tool, too. DeAnna does not look thrilled that Ron has been married. Fred sounds like Dan Akroyd from
Tommy Boy, doesn't he?
I feel a little bad about putting Luke in my NO pile. He seems like a nice guy. Ugh, Robert is cooking food to show off. I hate show offs on these shows.
Is Jason teaching her to swing dance? I LOVE HIM! All the guys are jealous of each other. The alcohol and the testosterone is a-flowin'.
Jenni is here to help DeAnna with the guys. Let's grill these suckers! Did DeAnna think it would be a good idea to bring her in ... or did ABC? Some guy just asked Jenni to sit on his lap. Ew, go home. Eric is playing the Greek card with DeAnna. He'll get a rose. WHY ARE SOME OF THESE GUYS FLIRTING WITH JENNI? Idiots. Sean is kicking a lemon off of Jesse's head. This is seriously the Twilight Zone sometimes.
Jesse got the second rose. Whaaaat?
The guys are doing such weird things right now: duck calls, showing their abs, ripping their shirts off, jumping into pools. Seriously. So many of them are being downright obnoxious.
I think after Jason, I like Graham the best. If she gives a rose to either of them, I'll be happy. Third rose goes to Richard. Nice call, DeAnna. I think we're on the same page (minus Jesse).
I'm so glad that DeAnna and Chris are reliving the entire night. I love watching things twice. Anybody noticing my sarcasm? Way to drag out this episode, ABC.
Rose ceremony time. 10 guys are going home. Here's the order of the roses handed out: Ron (bit of a shock), Graham (good choice), Eric (I can see why), Robert (blech), Sean (WHAT?), Ryan (share the blanket next time), Chris (don't remember anything about him), Paul (he's ridiculous), Fred (I'll have to see more before I judge), Twilley (why?) ... where is JASON? ... there he is (phew). The last rose goes to Brian (Texas).
Okay, so DeAnna and I have some similar tastes. Two of my yeses were eliminated but the rest made it through. Nice.
Which Bachelorette man is your type?
