By Daniel | Season 13 | Episode 1 | Aired on 2008.05.19
Robert presents to her the Dungeness crab martini he's made, and in a talking-head spot talks about how awesome he is. One of the other guys jokes that Luke gave her a pearl necklace, and Robert gave her crabs. "Don't hate, congratulate!" says Robert in a talking head. He's "damn confident" he's getting a rose. Then some asshole talks some shit about how none of the other guys ain't shit. (I'm paraphrasing, and that guy's leaving before too long anyway.)
Chris strolls out to say DeAnna needs some help narrowing twenty-five soulmates down to fifteen soulmates, and Jenni comes out, and a squealing DeAnna hugs her. She acts like she had no idea Jenni was going to be there, yet during a talking-head says she brought in Jenni, who was the other of the two final bachelorettes in their particular season (it merely wounded America's heart that Jenni didn't get a proposal), because she thought she needed help. And they're the bestest of friends now, because they bonded over being dumped by Brad. Ever been on a date with a woman who won't shut up about how over her last boyfriend she is? Yeah. This is kind of like that so far. Jenni and DeAnna chat in another room; Jenni.has a massive rock on one finger. "It's funny how far we've both come," says DeAnna, in all seriousness. Yes; Jenni went from wanting to get married to waiting to get married, while you went from The Bachelor to The Bachelorette. It's been an epic journey.
Jenni helps DeAnna as the interrogations begin. Richard the science teacher admits he's the "nerdy guy" of the bunch. He brings DeAnna a "Brookline diamond" (... I think. I'm not rewinding this shit), which is some famous product of his hometown or whatever, and it's really just quartz crystal. In a talking-head, she admits she liked Richard, even though he was slightly dorky. Eric the Greek guy plays up the Greekiness with DeAnna. One of the guys invites Jenni to sit on his lap. Hard to believe this asshole's still single. Jesse the snowboarder says he wore a crazy jacket matador jacket to show he's a triangle instead of a square, which deserves elimination right there. However, he does get some one-on-one time, where he says he wanted to get to know her, and that he so didn't read anything on the internet, and yet he talks about some New Jersey blogger who wrote a bunch of BS about her.
