1/24: DeAnna Pappas gabs about “Get Married” and USO tour, not so much about Jesse Csincsak
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former “Bachelorette” DeAnna Pappas is aware of the irony that she is co-hosting a show called “Get Married,” shot locally and seen on Lifetime every day at 7:30 a.m.
She agreed to do “Get Married” while planning to get hitched to snowboarder Jesse Csincsak — but then she broke up with him in November. Doesn’t this negate the rationale of having her on the show?
“That’s everybody’s No. 1 question,” Pappas told me last week. “I don’t think it makes any difference. I love weddings. I love the fashion, the food, the parties.”
She declined to comment about her breakup, though Csincsak himself posted a YouTube video describing the pain he experienced over the split.
Pappas, who still lives in Newnan, recently got back from a USO-type trip to Iraq and Kuwait.
She spent a lot of time talking to solders. “I was really curious about those in the first year of marriage, how they’re coping with things being away from home so long,” said Pappas, whose dad has been in the Navy since he was 18. She has kept in touch with many of them through email and her MySpace page. (She said she’ll respond to all emails off the getmarried.com Web site or her own.)
Not that military personnel are target “Bachelor” viewers, but she said more people recognized her than she expected: “I’m sure a lot of wives made them watch ‘The Bachelor.’ “
Though Pappas is open to more TV gigs, she said there is one genre she won’t pursue again: reality shows.

You should have asked her if she is now engaged to Jason, with her showing back up on the Batchelor.

Nobody will be good enough for her. When she said to the Batchelor from Texas: you are about to make the biggest mistake of your life…she was telling him not to ask the other girl to marry him, but he knew then Miss DeAnna was a control freak and could see the future he didn’t want any part of. So he didn’t ask either of them. She made him out to be a bad guy, but now the truth comes out. If you see her coming…RUN!
