I don't think she intentionally wanted to hurt anyone, but it's hard to get around that with the format of the show. I may feel differently if it's true that she let him go through an entire proposal. That's horrible if it happened!
Also, I'm not a big advocate of having Jason be the next bachelor and his son helping him choose. Having two sons myself, I wouldn't want to parade 25 guys in front of them and have them help me choose someone.
As for Jesse, I like him and think he seems like a really nice guy. I don't think she will be miserable with him because he does seem like a lot of fun. I noticed the "your" and had to giggle a little because her grammar has made me laugh a few times as well. I doubt she will care that he can't spell.

Jason did get down on one knee and she quickly asked him not to. He never got the chance to propose.....I did feel bad..it was like someone sucked the wind out of his sails.

I saw that part, crazyworld, but some of the posters have said they read that he actually went through an entire proposal that was edited out.

Jason himself said he did a full proposal and they edited it out. It's in an interview with the seattlepi. You can probably find it on seattlepi.com.

ABC did alot of editing and cut out the part where Jason proposed to DEANNA. You could almost see the blurbs if you look closely! it was weird!

He was "the friend" only prior to that.... anything romantic prior to that was so awkward.
It obviously wasn't that awkward to the two of them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept him around so long, especially if he was just "the friend."

Yes, it would be easy if it was as cut and dry as that!

I find the whole concept of the shows, The Bachelor, and The Bachelorette, just a bit bizarre, but am drawn to watching it because of the people, I guess. I have always been a 'people-watcher,' so it is kind of fun to see everyone arrive, watch the initial cut, and then tune back-in as the bachelors and/or bachelorettes are eliminated.

Then, I seem to find some humor in the discussions that go on for weeks and months after the show ends. Like, this is how some might want to find a lifelong partner, soul mate? someone to share the daily grind with? buy a home? raise a family? I say that, but then, I guess meeting a spouse other ways is largely a 'crap-shoot' too.

I did think it was most clever of the network to choose Deanna to become The Bachelorette after being disappointed by what's-his-name. I do hope they don't follow suit with Jason, however, as it might be too much of a good thing?

I did realize after watching the season that I much prefer The Bachelorette over The Bachelor. I wish they'd alternate seasons instead of just throwing in a Bachelorette every once in a while.
