Yes, I actually listened to the whole thing. I have to admit I found parts of it pretty interesting. She talked about how she got on Brad's season. I never knew he contacted her after the show and tried to get her to go visit him. Also, she really went into detail about her season and just how she ended up with Jessy and what happened after. She only got paid $10,000 for her season. She also talked about how she met Stephen and what she is up to now. The best part, which I found to be hilarious, RS asked her why she didn't pick Jeremy as her F1 after Graham left since it was always supposed to be those two. She said it was because during one of their dates he was so obsessed with his abs, that he kept flexing and she thought that was so ridiculous since she wasn't all that obsessed with her own appearance, it would never have worked. She said she really liked Jason, but wasn't ready to be a stepmom and that the reason Jessy made it into her final 4 was because she wanted to learn how to snow board!!! And you have to listen to the rapid 10 questions at the end for her most embarrassing story from the Bachelor.

@Sprite Haha thanks for the recap! I always wondered why she didn't pick Jeremy too. Glad to know the answer now.

I have a hard time hearing RS talking but I may have to listen to DeAnna. Funny stories..thanks @Sprite
Deanna was such a boss. When I think of DeAnna I think of her reaction when Brad told her he was sending her home and her reaction. Brad The look on his face was priceless.

@Sprite thanks for the recap.

Many speculated Jason was not going to be her F1 because it didn't appear she was interested in being a step mom.

That season is a good example of how they brought Jason to F2 probably to garner fan favourite status for the next lead. I never saw a connection with DeAnna and Jason at all, let alone Jesse. Jason was a favourite by many, only to be crucified later.

Were there any other F2's from the 'ette season that went on to TB gig? I should gather these stats for future.

I think Jason was the first season where they started casting a previous contestant.

Ben F was Ashley's F2 and then got the gig.

Nick is f2 to Andi and Kaitlyn

So Jason and Ben F finished their season and went on to be the next Bachelor. Nick as usual has to be different.

Out of 12 seasons, it's only happened twice.

I listened to the interview. She's interesting to listen to-- not boring. Also love that she has a real job, and isn't trying to shill. I found it crazy that she only got $10k! I feel kind of bad for her. They took advantage of her totally. Considering others got 6 figures allegedly. Also, graham bunn is still not married and has had multiple relationships, so good call by his mom there. At least she still found her guy later on.

Many of the "ones that got away" like Graham have not ended up getting married. At least not that I know of. It is very interesting though to me.

^^^Me too ND4reality. I think it's pretty ridiculous the number of Bachelors, in particular, who are still single.

I need to listen to podcast cause I was obsessed with Deanna season. I actually saw the connection with Jason and was so upset when RS came out with spoiler cause I thought Jesse was just looking to promote brand/make $$, which appalled me then and now I just expect it.

I hosted my first finale viewing party and scared my guests with how invested I was in ending. Yikes! Live and learn.
