lhazen - SF Gal, I agree that for most of us there is absolutely no intent to invade Andy and Tessa's privacy. Most of the folks who viewed Bachelor 10, however, have what I would call an emotional investment in their wonderful story. That said, it is hard for all of us who do not have the good fortune to live in Hawaii where occasional sightings of the couple help to understand the situation clearer, get anywhere near ground truth by reading the usually negative blogs. The comments by "B" above are encouraging but once again, where is the true story here?

ANDY/TESSA STILL TOGETHER!!!!! YEAH TRUE... watch the video interview of Andy with Paula Akana/KITV HAWAII CHANNEL talking about his deployment and Tessa, also checkout recent photos on his website, comments from "B" is fairly accurate, watch it then decide. If we all care about them let us give them their privacy they needed to make this relationship work and wish them well as they go through this tough deployment separation. HANG IN THERE ANDY/TESS YOU'LL GET THROUGH THIS STAY STRONG...

"Most of the folks who viewed Bachelor 10, however, have what I would call an emotional investment in their wonderful story."
Seafox, you said the above very well. It did seem to be a rare and great love story.
---------------------------------------------------
There are some who know Tessa to be a much different person than what many of us observed and believed her to be watching the show. I hope this isn't so. What a disappointment to think this may be the truth.
It has been difficult to understand why she never went to Hawaii to stay for even a few months - as she said she would do. If she truly cared about Andy, wouldn't she have wanted to spend time with him before his deployment? She quit her job - so there was time for her to do this. But, she didn't. Why?
I have no doubt that Andy went onto the show for the right reasons, and that he did fall in love totally with Tessa. He said it in so many ways. I'm just not sure anymore what to think about Tessa and why she never followed through and did what she said she was going to do. Did she just not care enough? I hope she doesn't look back someday, and realize she should have done things differently.
True love is about giving - and not always thinking of yourself first.

Andy and Tessa do not owe us any answers.....their commitment to fans ended in May. Their lives should be their own now........they still love each other very much. Just leave them alone. Also, a caution to people thinking that these celebs are sharing all with you over the internet.....they are telling you exactly what they want you to believe, knowing full well that it will go far and wide. There is definitely more to the story, but it is private, as it should be!!!

"Eyes are the windows to the Soul". Check out the pics from Veteran's Day weekend.....look at their eyes! They sparkle! Pics don't lie........those two are in love. They have their own reasons for wanting the public to believe it is over....deployments are tough enough when the media is not in the picture.......if you were Andy, would you want Tessa to be the focus of all that attention while you were gone? No way!! They are two intelligent people!!

Andy and Tessa are over. The Hawaii weekend was an ABC set up. For all intents and purposes, Tessa ended it quite some time ago.
"C" Says:
November 29th, 2007 12:05 PM
Sorry, ABC had nothing to do with Veteran's Day weekend.......they had "nothing" to gain from that weekend visit......Tessa would NEVER go along with making out with Andy for pics if she had ended things.......she and Andy were VERY CLOSE during that visit. ABC can control many things, but not to that extent, nor would Tessa or Andy agree to it!!

MH and Samantha - You've both said that Tessa ended it with Andy some time back. When did she end the relationship? In September or October?
The last pictures of Andy and Tessa were great to see - but if you looked closely Tessa never seemed to be 'into' that time as Andy seened to be. For most of those, she was always facing the camera.
"C" Says:
November 29th, 2007 2:05 PM
In one pic they are kissing and in one she is sitting on his lap the way a lover does.......not the way a friend does. Those two pics speak volumes!!

Andy and Tessa want to be totally private now and as their friend, I respect that.....please ignore my last post because I am letting myself be drawn into doing exactly what they hate.......all of the speculation and scrutinizing of everything they do and every facial expression they make, etc.

I've heard that the breakup was final. Andy was devastated. Pretty sad for him considering the deployment isn't that far off.
It is hard to believe that Tessa appears not to be the sensitive, caring person that so many originally felt her to be.
lhazen Says:
November 30th, 2007 7:56 PM
It has been said by those who know the real Tessa. "She is not the person that those watching the show believed her to be. That person was void of all the great qualities that the public believed she possessed at that time. Simply, she was only an illusion. Nothing more"
Samso Says:
November 30th, 2007 8:24 PM
Ihazen, you're obviously making up those things you said. Will you please stop it? The sole reason they are apart is because Andy is getting ready for deployment. They still love each other very much. Please stop spreading lies.
MH Says:
December 1st, 2007 12:15 AM
Tessa and Andy "made out" many times for photo ops. It was part of their contract. ABC wanted to see if they could possibly get together again before the final Bach 11 show, thus the trip to Hawaii. Tessa almost didn't go, but she gave it one more shot.
C Says:
December 1st, 2007 1:24 AM
Sorry MH, but you need to check your info.....I am a friend and you are very incorrect!! Please stop spreading false info about this couple........leave them be!!
P.S. Their contract DID NOT command them to kiss for pics at this late date....that is a fact!!
MH Says:
December 1st, 2007 4:00 AM
The "romance" always looked way more serious than it was. Andy and Tessa are good actors. Check clear back to the Alcatraz competition and you will find clues in the tape at the finish line.
If you were really a friend, you would know that the deployment had nothing to do with their breakup. They had called it quits before the deployment to the gulf was ever announced.
Samso Says:
December 1st, 2007 6:45 AM
MH, it is obvious you have another name and that's Ihazen. You don't know zilch about the couple so beat it! Are you one of those rejected bachelorettes that's still bitter that Andy didn't choose you? Tessa is a beautiful person with admirable values and principles; so is Andy. They're not going to show affection for each other if they don't mean it. They are both very sincere and kind people. They're the exact opposite of vile creatures like MH and Ihazen.
C Says:
December 1st, 2007 9:59 AM
MH, I am a close friend and I can tell you that people like you who get all your wrong info from message boards and tabloids and then spread it everywhere are the VERY reason this couple have gone completely private. I trust that there are some intelligent and sensible fans out there who know better than to believe your untruths....you hurt Andy with this stuff and when he is gone, you will hurt Tessa.....It is very sad!!

What part of Mr. Balwin stating on his website that he is Single is so hard for people to understand now. His friends have posted on their website that he is again a bachelor. OK magazine has so stated.
Anyone who thinks they are still together is just a delusional fool.
Curious Mom Says:
December 1st, 2007 5:10 PM
C, I would love to believe that what you're saying is the truth and that their is still hope for Tessa and Andy. However, if you're truly a close friend, why are you sharing so much information? By sharing this information, aren't you compromising their privacy?
Samso Says:
December 1st, 2007 6:40 PM
Andy stating his status as single only means that he's not married. That's all. Those who claim to be his friends who say that he's a bachelor again are not his friends. OK magazine is a tabloid that can't get their facts straight.
Curious Mom, I don't think C is sharing too much. Just enough to discredit the mean things that some evil people here are saying.
Anyone who believes everything that they read on the internat and in the tabloids is brain dead.
Curious Mom Says:
December 1st, 2007 8:31 PM
Thanks for the clarification Samso. I suppose I would do the same for my friends. It must be hard for friends and families, not to mention Andy and Tessa, to learn about all the false information that has been circulating. I'm sure they were never expecting all of this craziness as a result of being on the show. They captured many hearts, including mine. Unfortunately there are many mean spirited people that can't stand to see happy people. I just wish both Andy and Tessa much happiness, love and peace whether together or apart.
MH Says:
December 1st, 2007 9:26 PM
I agree. Tessa and Andy are both nice people. They are just not together anymore and haven't been for some time.
Samso Says:
December 2nd, 2007 1:25 PM
There you go again, MH. Are you so jealous and vindictive that you have to keep on spewing venom? Don't you have anything better to do with your own life?
Thank you, Curious Mom. Having someone you love leave to work on dangerous missions with the military is stressful enough. I wish both Andy and Tessa the best of everything and may their love grow deeper even with Andy's imminent departure for Bahrain. Stay safe, Andy! Stay strong, Andy and Tessa!
MH Says:

"I agree. Tessa and Andy are both nice people. They are just not together anymore and haven't been for some time."
Could you explain to me how the above statement is "spewing venom"? I am sure Andy and Tessa would not be happy to see a supporter writing garbage like that.
