7/6: The Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas gabs before finale
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On Monday July 7, in an episode taped two months ago, ABC’s “Bachelorette” and Newnan real estate agent DeAnna Pappas picks her man: the straightlaced, earnest Jason Mesnik or the intriguing, adventurous Jesse Csincsak.
The self-confident, ever cute Pappas said last week that she’s been able to stay in touch and even see her fiance despite the secrecy.
“I love surprises,” she said. “It’s kind of exciting for nobody to know.” She said she has friends who have poster boards to track the men and have bets on who she’ll pick.
While many past contestants have seen their relationships fall apart in the time between taping and airing, Pappas said “things are perfect, absolutely perfect. I’m happy and engaged. I have my ring.”
For Pappas, the results were far better than last year when the most recent “Bachelor” Brad Womack bagged on all the ladies, including a heartbroken Pappas at the very end.
Her take on Jesse: “That snowboarder long-haired kid from night one wearing that crazy jacket—once you get past everything, he’s a wonderful human being. He’s that person who will always make you laugh. He puts me first.”
Jason? “I never had to wonder if he was a good father. [He’s a single dad.] He has a beautiful outlook on life and love. He’s very generous, very caring. And he’s always there for me.”
I’m rooting for Jesse because he’s more interesting from a TV watcher’s perspective but Jason would certainly be a safer, more stable pick.
I found tribute to the adorable Pappas on YouTube:

“D”…obviously you care or you wouldn’t be here posting on this site…
For the rest of us that enjoy watching this program, we have a life…watching this type of program allows us to just relax in front of the tv and ‘escape’ somewhat…
My hope is that she picks Jason!!! He would be a perfect mate for her!!!

Boy, she’s something that the south and Atlanta can be proud of. A pretty girl with NO personality!

Wonder where this KOOL couple will be when he is too old to snowboard “for a living”…what a joke. Obviously her dad was also concerned about this when he ask Jesse the same question, and got NO answer. Hopefully, Jason will find someone who is truly deserving of everything he has to offer. Actually glad Deanna didn’t pick him. He should have someone much better.
