On tonight's The Bachelorette special following the penultimate episode, DeAnna is forced to face the men that she sent home.  Host Chris Harrison starts things off with just the men, who talk about the first night they met DeAnna.  Richard says that every jaw in the limo hit the floor when they first saw her in her gold dress.  Ryan said that he didn't compete as hard for DeAnna because he felt that some people were there just to win the competition.  Fingers immediately pointed at Jeremy and he was called to the hot seat. 

Jeremy admits that he can understand why the guys were jealous of him and upset with him.  Many of the guys felt he didn't respect him during their time on the show but they also said that, after watching the show, they realize that he's a genuine person.  Ron says that he wasn't jealous that Jeremy got so much time with DeAnna, but the audience just laughs at him.  After a montage is show of Jeremy's moments with DeAnna, he says that leaving her was the hardest thing he's done in a long time.  He's not sure what he'll say when she comes out and he seems nervous to face her for the first time since the Bahamas.

Graham heads to the hot seat next and the ladies in the audience go crazy.  He says that DeAnna was always blaming him for the issues in their relationship.  He felt that he took a big step by introducing her to his family and that he was as open as he could be, considering the situation they were in.  As soon as the audience could ask questions, Graham got the first one.  A woman asked what we all wanted to know: what was in that letter?  He wouldn't get specific but did say that he said all the things he felt she needed to know.

DeAnna finally joins the men on stage and sits in the hot seat herself.  She says that it's hard to be there and face them after what they've been through.  Chris gives Jeremy the opportunity first to talk to her and he asks when she knew that things were over between them.  She said that she knew when she went on her dates with Jason and Jesse. 

She turns her attention to Graham and says that she's still not okay with how things went between them.  She does say that she's okay with the way it ended, though.  Chris notices right away that Graham is making DeAnna angry.  She tries to say that Graham is acting like he doesn't care but he fires right back and says that seeing her is much harder than he thought.

Chris asks the men about the day of the party down at the guest house, when DeAnna flipped out because she wasn't getting enough attention.  Sean says that he totally understands why she reacted the way she did.  Ryan confronts DeAnna for saying that she wants guys who are open, yet Jesse is one of the final two.  He does make a good point.   DeAnna gets defensive but Chris lightens the mood with some of the better times she shared with the men this season.

Things wrap up with clips of the final two men fighting for DeAnna's heart, Jason and Jesse.  DeAnna says she's happy, she's in love, and she's engaged!
