On last night’s finale DeAnna Pappas picked her man.

It was down to the professional snowboarder from Colorado, Jesse, and the single dad from Kirkland, Wa, Jason.

DeAnna picked Jesse. I was shocked! I thought for sure that she and Jason were going to ride off into the Seattle sunset live happily ever after. Not the case! You have to feel for him though. He was basically humiliated in front of the entire nation after getting down on his knee to propose - only to be shunned by the woman he thought loved him.

I don’t get why all the contestants on reality dating shows like these feel compelled to profess their love so early. Oh, yeah, because it’s a competition! Does anyone else get sick of 95% of them saying, “I never came into this thinking I was going to fall in love . .”

Gah, STFU.

Anyhow, I am happy for Jesse and DeAnna, and I do think they are a darling couple. But I can’t help but wonder if Jason will ever hear Rick Springfield’s Jesse’s Girl the same again?

Heh.
