The Bachelorette Finale: DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak Engaged; Jason Mesnick Heartbroken
On the season finale of The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas shocked America (and Jason Mesnick) by getting engaged to Jesse Csincsak.
Devastated and shell-shocked after his rejection, Jason headed home in his limo alone as DeAnna met Jesse at the final rose ceremony.
Jesse proceeded to get down on one knee to ask DeAnna if she would like to spend forever with him and our girl happily accepted.
DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak announced on the post-show special of The Bachelorette that they are engaged and will get married May 9, 2009.
We don't think Jason Mesnick will be invited.
After the show, Jason had the chance to confront DeAnna for the first time since the fourth season of the show ended. The awesome single dad from Washington State said that he is, without a doubt, still in love with her.
Follow the jump for photos of DeAnna Pappas, Jason Mesnick and Jesse Csincsak from last night, as well as a video of Jesse's proposal ...
DeAnna Pappas responded that she was never in love with Jason. Mesnick took the whole thing well, though, even calling Jesse "a great guy."
The Bachelor stars Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas also made an appearance last night, updating America on their own relationship. Apparently Shayne and Matt have not broken up yet, defying the odds. Will they get married? Who knows.
Here are some pics and a video of DeAnna and Jesse. Do you think she made the right decision, or should she have picked Jason Mesnick?

I think she made a huge mistake. Life isn't all fun and games. Marriage and motherhood are serious choices. I just don't see choosing a snow boarder as a good choice. I liked Jeremy as a first choice and Jason as a close second. I think Jason would have wanted to have children soon, but doubt that Jesse ( 3 J's at the end, did you notice?) would be ready for fatherhood soon. I hope I'm wrong about her choice, but I'm so annoyed I'm thinking that I just won't watch this show or the Bachelor again. Not enough matches really make it, and I'm tired of all the hooplah for nothing in the end.

I was all for DeAnna choosing Jesse. They were friends first, which is the most important part of a relationship. And , so many things happen during the show and off camara that we don't see, so as long as they are both happy. I think both DeAnna and Jesse are adorable and hope they make it work and are happy together for a lifetime.

On paper, either Jason or Jeremy, would have been the "better" pick for Deanna. They both seem to have "everything" going for them (i.e. careers, "maturity", etc). But who are we to judge who's right or not right for her?! Only Deanna knows. And if Jesse makes her the happiest woman in the world, then we can only wish the two the best of luck to them and to their future together.

She made a huge mistake that she will regret in time when the novelty wears off. Like her dad said - Jesse's a snowboarder, how long will that sustain a career to support a wife and family? Was she looking for friend/husband/lover/father material or just some guy to hang out with. All the "soul mate" talk takes time to develop - not just words the way Jesse threw it around - his excuse for "friends first", which Jeremy and Jesse wanted too, was just an excuse for Jesse not to get too close because he was not ready. Jeremy would definitely be the one, followed by Jason. Jesse is far too immature and not ready for marriage. That's why he was so nervous and almost got sick going in to buy the engagement ring! What a pathetic mistake, and I wasted time watching this show. That girl sure wasn't thinking straight. That's if for me watching this show anymore.

I think Deeanna made the right decision. Jesse was down to earth, real and uncomplicated. A good way to start life. Jason was terrific and a great catch, but in the end I got the feeling he was ready to be in love, ready to be married and ready to have a family...it didn't necessarily have to be Deeanna. I felt like Jesse was so nervous because he wasn't as comfortable as Jason was, or as confident. Jason sat on the couch with his arm across the back of Deeanna like he sort of had this all wrapped up. Jesse didn't run in and ask her dad for her hand, he played it the way he had the whole show...slow, getting to know her, the person and feeling out spending a day with the family and seeing her in her element with Jason present. Go Jessee and Deeanna...be happy, happy. Oh and great day to get married.... it is my birthday!

I have watched the show all season without missing an episode. Jason was my pick from the first time he walked up to greet Deanna. There was something there from the get go! Last night I got sick when I saw Jason arriving first and when she walked him to the limo and closed the door that was when my TV was turned off. I got up and went to my computer and played solitaire. I have made a vow not to ever watch the show again, because it is a fluke. No one is there for the right reason.

I also think she made a huge mistake. They seem so mismatched. She seems 100% more mature than Jesse. I had Jeremy 1st, and Jason 2nd. It broke my heart to see those two brokenhearted.
I think this season actually had the best bachelors so far. They seemed to really care and have something going on.
Jesse seems younger and more carefree than Deeana. She seems controlling, and not very spur of the moment. Kind of like everything has to be planned.
July 8th, 2008 12:26 PM
I knew that Deanna was going to choose Jesse when I saw that she couldn't keep her hands off of him in the plane. She had a definite physical attraction to him. And I think she knew who she was going to pick way before the last day!!! I feel she kept Jason around as a safety net. If the others did not come through with their feelings then she still had Jason. Poor Jason. I think she used him and I am upset that she led him on like that. Jason was the whole package. I wish him better than that!
July 8th, 2008 1:05 PM
I think that DeAnna chose the wrong bachelor. I think that it was funny any time someone asked Jesse what he was going to do after he's done snowboarding, he never answered. Is this the man that DeAnna chose to be her solemate and take care of her forever? Jason or Jeremy would have been my pick!
July 8th, 2008 1:13 PM
I think Deanna made the perfect choice. who is anyone to say otherwise. All people know is what the show allowed them to know. We dont' know the real Deanna and Jesse or Jason. and by the way you could tell she was going to pick Jesse because they made it look like Jason was gonna get picked. Only Deanna could make this decision and Jesse is who she loves no one has the right to judge that.
July 8th, 2008 2:00 PM
Deanna is a dumb redneck who pretended she wanted a great husband but in the end she gave in to her country roots n picked a going-nowhere loser who will ditch her by next month. He's not only the biggest doofus ever, he's hideous. D will blow up to 180 lbs in the next few years anyway, so she'll be back to square one. She shouldve picked the lawyer
July 8th, 2008 2:30 PM
I was very shocked when she said "I can't" to Jason. While I figured since he was first he would be going home, he appeared to be the better match of the two. I personally was rooting for Graham and when he went home the show just did not have the same appeal. I got real tired of hearing about Brad..how she did not want to treat anyone like Brad did her or how Brad lead her on, but how interesting in the end she was thanking Brad for everything. I hope it works out for the "soulmates" but I am not holding my breath. I am also wondering will this become as big a spectacle and Trista and Ryan?
July 8th, 2008 2:53 PM
I like almost everyone else was very shocked and somewhat upset when Jason got out of that limo first. Either DeAnna is two faced (after the way she says Brad treated her) or ABC edited that show so that we all thought Jason was being picked. If it was editing, then DeAnna should have had the integrity to tell ABC when she agreed to be the Bachelorette to keep the show truthful and honest (as she says SHE is). I can't believe DeAnna, whom I have always liked, would treat a single Dad who also had his heart broken the way the show portrayed them. If she did treat Jason that way then she really should be ashamed of herself. I do, however, like Jesse and think he will treat her well. That does not excuse DeAnna's treatment of Jason. Not to worry Jason....there are better people out there!!! We all love Jason!!!!!!!!
July 8th, 2008 2:55 PM
Unreal wrong choice. I think she will be sorry...down the road. Jesse just isn't ready for marriage or kids. Thought he was going to throw up before buying the ring too. Thought she wanted someone stable??? Thought I knew DeAnna after two shows...but....I guess not!
July 8th, 2008 3:08 PM
I was so devastated that DeAnna chose Jesse. I don't feel that he is going to give her the life she wants. How will he support her? I also feel that this whole show gets everyone caught up in all these romantic feelings that fade really really fast.
I do feel sorry for Jason and Jeremy,but they were the ones who put themselves in this position of being crushed by signing up to be on the show. I hope I'm wrong about jesse,because DeAnna is such a dollbaby!
July 8th, 2008 4:45 PM
Jason needs to be the next "Bachelor" He is such a great catch! Are you listening ABC? I love that guy and so does everyone else! I was really bummed when he was the first to get out of the limo, and I wanted to turn the TV off because she didn't chose the guy that I thought was the best for her.But because I'm a sucker for romance I just kept on watching and in so doing I realized she did pick the right guy for her. So she did Jason a favor by not choosing him she is clearly not ready to be a step-mom. Which is just a fact, not a criticism. She flip-flopped from what she originally said that she was looking for, but hey let's face it she will have a great time with Jesse. It may not be forever, but it will be an adventure and I do believe they are in-love! Go Girl! Are you listening ABC-- Jason for the next "Bachelor"
July 8th, 2008 5:46 PM
Yes, Jason definitely needs to be the next bachelor. Please listen ABC and make it so. He's charming and sensitive and would be a wonderful husband for someone.
July 8th, 2008 6:06 PM
If Deanna wants to control the relationship she chose the right guy; I also agree that they could have fun for awhile, but won't last when she wants to start a family (3 kids before 30 and she's 26); Jesse could hardly stomach the thought of forever; I don't think he wants to grow up. Graeme was a much better choice over Jesse.
July 8th, 2008 7:00 PM
What a disappointment. DeAnna did Jason reallt
dirty. Did exactly what Womack did to her. She
deserved it. She made it look as if she was in love
with Jason - smiling at him constantly. What a
jerk she is. Don't know if I will ever watch your
show again. Also, I hope Jason rejects your
offer of being the next or any other "Bachelor";
He is much better than that and I don't think he
wants to treat anyone badly as DeAnna treated him. Makes me sick - can't say anymore. I
really do hope Jesse dumps her before too long.
July 8th, 2008 7:06 PM
I think Deanna made an excellent choice. They deserve the best !!!!!!
Good Luck and Best Wishes!
Jason was entirely too serious for a young woman like Deanna===== I'm glad she and Jesse are marrying.
July 8th, 2008 7:59 PM
Jason deserved much better than DeAnna was offering him. He deserves someone to love him as much as he loves them. It is a good thing that DeAnna did not choose him in the end, because his true love is still out there waiting for him. He will find her, and I hope soon. Best of luck to him because he is wonderful. Maybe if he is the next Bachelor he will find her; maybe he will find her in his own good time.
July 9th, 2008 1:20 AM
I think DeAnna did just fine picking Jesse.
If Jason is so great - why did his wife and mother of his child leave him? No one is perfect. I he agrees to be a Bachelor for a future show that would say a lot about him to leave his son a second time.
Also - Jeremy had a dark side of sadness that I know from personal experience is depressing to live with over time.
July 9th, 2008 1:58 AM
I think "Dee" wants a wedding and a ring, not a marriage and a lifetime relationship. I was sick and dissapointed, decided never to watch the show again...but then, decided. She got exactly what she deserves. And Jason, I am sure, will find a much classier woman in the end.
July 9th, 2008 3:30 AM
I Think That DeAnna Picked the one that she did Love, and that was Jessie. Hes the one I would have Picked also! She has never been married before, and I can understand, by her background. They make such a cute couple and I can see them together 4-ever. They deserve all of the Respect & Love from us all. (True Love & Happiness is what counts). They will make it Just Fine!!! I do Hope to see Jason find his special soul mate too. Hes a very sweet guy & his Son needs a very nice stepmommie in his life. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Lets pray for this to happen....
July 9th, 2008 10:18 AM
I was pulling for Jason, since week one. Jason seems so grounded and has a great family. DeAnna would have fit perfectly into his life. However, DeAnna wants to have fun and enjoy new experiences. Jesse can give her that. Jason would have to get a baby sittler and she would have to be an instant Mom. Too much for a new relationship. Cheers to DeAnna & Jesse. Hope it all works out!!!!!
