ABC's The Bachelorette Getting Married to a Snowboarder

I tried, really I did, but I could only make it through a little over an hour of last night's bizarre Bachelorette show.

In that hour The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas, desperate for a husband, took the boys to meet the family, including Papa Pappas.

The family seemed as desperate as DeAnna for her to find a husband. Greek family's must be big fans of getting the daughters married off.

The boys did the predictable asking the dad if he'd approve if they proposed. Papa Pappas approved, with the stipulation that Jesse the Snowboarder get his hair cut shorter.

I quit watching soon after the Dallas guy, Jeremy, who DeAnna said bye-bye to last week, showed up at her door and begged her to re-consider, going on about their shared bond of having dead moms and how deeply he'd fallen in absolute powerful all-encompasing love during the few weeks he's known her and the couple of dates they'd been on.

But, it was all in vain. with tears running down her cheeks, DeAnna gave poor lovesick Jeremy the boot again.

In the next hour, apparently Jason made DeAnna a board game, while Jesse made her a "Book of Thoughts," which was a photo album of their long courtship.

And then it came time for DeAnna to break someone's heart. Jason Mesnick, the account executive with a kid, got down on his knees to propose. DeAnna quickly yanked him back vertical and told Jason that "...even though I'm falling in love with you, I'm in love with someone else."

The above said, to the shock of millions of viewers, as they realized she was dumping the responsible adult, described in the Seattle P-I as "Perfect: clean-cut, tall, dark, handsome, self-assured, someone who wanted Pappas to complete his family, " for Jesse Csincsak.

The P-I described the Husband Hunter's choice thusly, "Csincsak has longish locks, an Owen Wilson nose and clothes that can be Mars Volta-concert loud. He's still searching for what's after snowboarding, but he did start a nonprofit for disadvantaged kids. (It revolves around snowboarding.)"

In the hour that followed an "After the Final Rose" show ran another hour, during which DeAnna and Jesse announced their wedding date as a year in the future. Yeah, I bet that's gonna happen.

Comments on ABC's Live Blog verbalized total disdain and disbelief that she chose the greasy-haired, short snowboarder.

The Survivor Sucksters were typically more colorfully opinionated. Here is one choice example. (Pardon the language)

"At first I was pissed she'd reject such a sweetheart like Jason but then again she deserves to breed with that prick Jessie and produce retarded offspring. Jason and Jeremy can do better than that dumb bitch."

Below is a video of the bizarre visit to Seattle where DeAnna got to meet Jason's family and kid. The best part of this video is the good look at good-looking Seattle.
