If you were surprised when DeAnna Pappas eliminated Jeremy Anderson on last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, you weren’t the only one. When she called Jason’s name instead of his at the rose ceremony, Jeremy couldn’t even bear to look at her. He left feeling confused, hurt, and led on by DeAnna. The goodbye was so difficult for him that he had his driver stop his limo on the way home so that he could take a minute to process what just happened. When the two reunited for The Bachelorette special, “The Men Tell All”, things got a little tense between them. Today, Jeremy spoke to reporters in a conference call and opened up about his heartache that played out on national television.

On tonight's episode of The Bachelorette, DeAnna isn't sure who to gravitate to after saying goodbye to Graham. In the Bahamas, DeAnna meets up with Jeremy, hoping to put Graham behind her. She is well aware that part of the bond they share is the fact that they've both suffered great losses. She's hoping that, in the Bahamas, they'll be able to let loose and have some fun. After a quick jet ski ride, though, Jeremy shuts down, which confuses DeAnna. He finally opens up at dinner, saying that he's terrified to lose her. She offers him the fantasy suite card and the two leave for it immediately after.

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.

From the very beginning on ABC's The Bachelorette this season, there was no denying that DeAnna Pappas was immediately attracted to basketball player Graham Bunn. While every other guy had to go to great lengths just to get her to notice him, Graham didn't have to work hard at all. DeAnna pursued him through much of the season and, at times, they two behaved like they were already in a relationship. Graham had one problem, though. He couldn't seem to express himself and put his heart on the line the way the other guys could. DeAnna couldn't handle it and, worried that she would get her heart broken again, sent him home in this week's shocking rose ceremony.
Before he left, Graham gave her a letter with all the things he wanted to say. The contents of the letter remain a mystery but the look on DeAnna's face screamed to America, "I think I just made a big mistake." Today, Graham talked to reporters in a press conference call and dished on DeAnna, their connection, and who he thinks is going to win.

I really felt bipolar last night when I watched the hometown date episode of The Bachelorette. My emotions changed as DeAnna visited each state. I wonder if it's possible to be in love with two people. I'm pretty sure I've heard a Bachelor or two say that before. Good, 'cause I'm pretty sure I've got the hots for both Jason and Jeremy. DeAnna is going to have to crush one of them in the next week or two and I've already started stocking up on Kleenex. From Jeremy opening up about his mom's death to Jason's reunion with his son, let's just say the tears were a-flowin' in my living room last night.

On tonight's episode of The Bachelorette, DeAnna earns her frequent flyer miles when she travels around the country, visiting the hometowns of the final four men. She kicks things off in Jesse's hometown of Breckenridge, Colorado. On their last one on one date, Jesse was out of his element but in Ohio, he showed her his world of snowboarding. Afterwards, he took her to his house for a tour and to meet his parents. When dinner is over, Jesse talks to his dad alone, where he confesses how hard it is for him to deal with DeAnna dating three other guys. He is the only one who has not kissed DeAnna. On a horse drawn carriage ride, Jesse finally plants one on her and vows to step up his game so that he is the last one standing.

Twilley may not have been the man for DeAnna, this season on The Bachelorette, but he did provide some entertaining storylines. Early on, when he felt that DeAnna didn’t know him well enough, he hid in her bushes after a date and waited for her so that he could have a conversation with her. Between his quirky sense of humor and his motion sickness, he certainly kept viewers smiling though it was no surprise when he got sent home this past Monday. Today, Twilley spoke to reporters in a press conference call about what he could have done differently and he makes a surprising prediction for this season’s finale of The Bachelorette.

Leave it to the last episode of The Bachelorette that Twilley appeared on for me to finally warm up to him. On last night’s episode, the first hour was dedicated to an interview with DeAnna, where she addressed her relationships with the remaining men and her reasoning behind many of the dismissals. We also got to know the guys a little bit better and believe it or not, Twilley is a pretty normal guy. He started a real estate software company that is very successful and leads a pretty regular life, outside of the show. When he was sent home last night, he handled himself so well and told DeAnna that he only wished her the best. My heart warmed up to a little but it was just as he got in the limo to head home.
