Local Bachelorette Contestant Strangely Comes Back For More

Last night was the finale of the Bachelorette, and DeAnna “I love my red bikini” Pappas picked underdog- snowboarder-nug-lover Jesse to marry. No one saw this coming, especially because daddy Jason was a much more obvious choice for the “perfect” life DeAnna was seeking. But. None of this was REMOTELY as strange as the cameo appearance Dallas boy Jeremy made in last night’s ep. As far as I know, no contestant who has ever not received a rose has come back to plead his case, but that’s what happened last night. J showed up in the Bahamas, heart in hand, and pleaded his sorry case for DeAnna’s heart. His eyelashes were long and thick, his muscles were rippling under his button-down, but DeAnna did not waver. She cried a lot and sent him away.

And then, he cried. It was quite sad (embarrassing?). He also did a lot of posing, especially during the crying (kneeling down on ground, hand over eyes). Surely, surely, the producers put him up to this ridiculous stunt.

Update: Jeremy was on Good Morning Texas this morning and told Gary Cogill that he begged DeAnna to take him back after the last rose ceremony — not many days later, like those sneaky producers made us believe. Watch here if you want. Smart money is on Jeremy to be the next Bachelor.

Update #2: Several FBvians have pointed me to this interview Jeremy gave to a fellow Texas lawyer. He discusses getting asked to resign by Hunton & Williams before the show aired and how DeAnna didn’t tell him he’d passed the bar (grrrrr).

  1. Actually, with the way all the women in the live audience were swooning over Jason, I’d say he’s got the better odds to be the next Bachelor. Think of the marketing campaign as The Bachelor turns into a search for a wife AND a mother. Plus you get a cute kid (Jason’s son) to steal the show.

    I’d rather watch that than the sappy Jeremy for another season. Jeremy obviously works out and takes meticulous care of his appearance…yet on the show they said he doesn’t date or go out. Yeah right. A young, single Dallas real estate lawyer who just sits at home? Please. There’s a reason none of the other guys on the show could stand him.

  3. I know Jeremy, and if he is the next B, then the show should be sponsored by PETA. People for the Ethical Treatment of Aholes.

  4. Ugh…I saw that guy on GMT this morning. Lemme tell ya, I am a guy and have been a very long time. Which is an almost sure way to learn about men. And something somewhere in there watching that dude ‘Jeremy’ I thought ….this isn’t adding up. Read between a few lines. Or just fill in the blanks.
