Bachelorette Contestant Graham Bunn Returning to the Show?

Last night’s episode of the Bachelorette proved to actually be one of the most dramatic Rose Ceremonies ever, when DeAnna Pappas let go the man who most fans expected to win the show.

Graham Bunn, a professional basketball player from Raleigh, North Carolina was sent home last night after 26-year-old Pappas felt he couldn’t open up to her.

But, in a shocking turn of events, the 29-year-old heartthrob opened up to her in a letter that he gave to her immediately after he was shafted from receiving a rose during the ceremony. 

What the letter said remains a mystery, but fans may get some insight next week during the “Men Tell All” special. The special will also feature an appearance by the latest cast-off – and a chance for him to tell DeAnna how he really feels.

DeAnna Pappas  Graham Bunn

But as the tearful goodbye broke the heart of DeAnna (not to mention millions of fans), many wonder whether Graham was asked to come back on the show.

ABC has always supported a little bit of drama (remember when Trish came back on the show after Jesse Palmer kicked her off on Season 5?) and we’re pretty sure there was some real chemistry between these two.

Even if Graham wasn’t asked back on the show, there’s no stopping the two from dating after the show is done.  Just ask Prince Lorenzo Borghese, who chose Jennifer Wilson at the Final Rose Ceremony of Season 9 but was rumoured  to be dating Erica Rose, the self-proclaimed socialite from Houston, Texas after their breakup in January of 2007.

So Graham’s final night with DeAnna proved to be an interesting one. Do you think Graham and DeAnna will ultimately be together – or do you think DeAnna will end up choosing one of the other bachelors in the end?

I think I may be less of a man for posting in a bachelorette blog but....it felt like DeAnna was doing a bit of "Naw, naw. You didn't open up to me so this is what happens.". Felt pretty petty and weak.

  She knew he liked her but wanted to control him and when he didn't so what she said, she cut him. I have little doubt that the drama will continue. Two words...high maintenance.

DJ Scorpia said:

I totally agree with you Matty. She was so into having a fairytale ending that she risked true happiness. I'm like stop controlling the guy!!! He was really trying to open up to her. Oh well, I guess she will end up being with Jason and have 3 damn kids within 4 yrs.

Lolly said:

I agree with Matty and DJ (above). I've done the same thing: break up with a guy I'm crazy about just to punish him. That's obviously what Deanna was doing to Graham except that--duh!--in this case, he can't come crawling back because of the show's rules. If only she had let him stay through to the sleepover round, maybe he would have come out of his shell more or obeyed her more, with the cameras off. I wonder if there's any chance she can fall in love with one of the others--or will she just be alternately crying and fuming over Graham. I already thought she was a little nuts, anyway, with that fit over the party that the men through, when she went off the deep end and yelled at everyone for not paying enough attention to her.

I sure hope they bring Graham back on the show too.  He really cared for her but she did not give him much of a chance to have a one on one.  I thought she would have kept him for that.  Then she would see how much he did care.  The other guys are not for her.

I think that she did  right by taking off Graham. There would be conflict with him all the time. She needs to pick Jeramie. He is adorable and seems to really care for her.

I believe Graham was falling deeply in love with DeAnna, he shared with her his vision and passion for life in the beginning but apparently DeAnna only cared about the show and finding a man.  True Love does not come easy but first it must be cultivate but leanring  each other by spending more quality moments.  The show is not enough time for a relationship to grow so it can last,  its a reality show!

I do believe DeAnna had fallen in love with Graham, she really didn't have enough time by allowing him to show how much he loves her. Apparently he was not comfortable about the show, its not a place to really fall in love. Well, if DeAnna is serious about having a man for life and not to just settle for someone because of the show, then she needs to search deep down in her heart.  I know her and Graham have a connection, you could see it in the short moments they shared in the show.

Last nights show was devastaing!! She definately made the wrong decision but I don't understand why she didn't say everything she said after the rose ceremony, at his house on the bench!! I think Brad is the one to blame. He played her and she doesn't want to get slammed again. I hope they bring him back, otherwise the show is BS.

camille said:

are you all crazy?  She was absolutely right - she can't spend the rest of her life begging him to love her -- or show that he loves her.  It would be a miserable lonely life.  If they are fighting all the time now, it only gets worse.  Any relationship Graham is in will be about Graham, and only a girl who thinks she deserves that treatment will be able to stay with him.   D was spot on, even tho it almost killed her.  Better to hurt now then hurt worse later.

Lida said:

It's absolutely a shock to me that Graham is gone.  If she was truly falling deeply in love and it wasn't just about the show, I don't understand why she couldn't give Graham another change.  I don't think I’ll be watching it unless Graham is back.

zeius said:

Deanna has a real nasty side when she doesn't get her way.  She expects all these guys to be drooling all over her and gets pissy when they don't.  High maintenance for sure. Run Graham RUN for your life!

I know that DeAnna and Graham will ultimately end up together. It's too difficult in life to find that true passion in love feeling. I found it once at 17 and was told I was too young and have not truly found it since even with with husband of 20 years.

June 24, 2008 4:23 PM
 

DS said:

I think she was crazy to let Graham go.  She's insane to think that she will spend the rest of her life with a snowboarder, control nut or a guy who would love his kid more than her.  She made a terrible choice and I wouldn't be surprised if she ddn't pick anyone.  That's what she deserves - no one!

Codi said:

I think DeAnna was falling in love with Graham and likewise.  But he's lost his chance for now....and if they get together, it'll be after the show.  Graham is a true-blueplayer.   I read today that he's been dating a minor star on one of the soaps and he's also into modeling,....the whole NYC scene.  So, DeAnna, you've probably made the right choice.

Either of the city dweller J's will love you forever and ever.  I'd go with one of them!

I really feel so sad about last night's episode. I LOVED Graham and I think that he just had a hard time expressing himself with cameras in his face. Some people are just more private. I think they should somehow have him come back, if Deanna agrees to it. I don't think she has deep deep feelings for the other 3. She is looking for something in them that isn't there. She had that "spark" with Graham. We will see how it all plays out. I just will miss seeing his YUMMINESS every Monday night.. Oh well..We love ya Graham

T said:

As much as I wish Graham was still on the show, I think in the long run he'll be better off for it. He deserves better but I wish he hadn't gotten his heart broken.

maddie said:

OK guys, get a clue.  Camille is the only one who sees what is slapped all over the television set.  Sure, DeAnna has a big crush on Graham, but it is physical attraction, chemistry, lust, passion, whatever you want to call it.  She continually says what she is looking for in a relationship - a man who communicates, is open and resolves problems through talking - and it is obvious that Graham is not that.  I do believe he likes her alot, but he is incapable of communicating and will continually run away instead of confronting problems head-on.  Just look at his actions on the show...

Jane in Alaska said:

It was amazing that DeAnna let Graham go. She chose with her mind and not her heart.  She is a strong willed person and very confident.  Graham can handle a woman , with those qualities.  Graham does not try to impress and stays true to himself.  My husband respected him, for not wanting to flaunt personal feelings on TV.  

As for the others; Jeremy wants a prize, on his arm.  Jesse wants a playmate, and Jason wants a mommy.

what is deanna doingg??  She's being a hypocrit..she even said now i might not find love..you were the only guy i was actually falling in love with.  What is she going to pull a brad in the end and not chose anybody now! she sent her love of life home.. and ruined her chances bc she was afraid of rejection.  i hope they bring him backkk!! they both looked soo hurt! and she lets the skater boy stay who doesnt even want to spend the night with her bc hes gay.  get graham backkk!!

i don't know.  Sometimes lust is not enough.  He knew there was competition, & sorry but i think she like th other guys for different reasons, and with time lust goes away but a nice relationship can grow with one of the 3 remaining.  Love can growin time with one of them.  He should of stepped it up, he knew what he was getting into didn't he?

Eva said:

I would like to believe that somehow Graham and De do end up together. It was painfully clear after last night that they had strong genuine feelings for one another but couldn't let themselves go enough to trust in those feelings. I really do believe Graham was the one for DeAnna and for me the show ended last night. In two weeks, if she picks someone, I will have hard time believing she is deeply in love with that man and that they're off to live happily ever after.

Uh, can we say wishful thinking???  I'm sorry, but Deanna would be crazy to take Graham back after everything he put her through and if I were friend or family member of Deanna's there is no way I'd let her.  Deanna & Graham's relationship is just not healthy.

Sure enough Graham is so sexy  BUT...last night I went on YouTube and watched their first one on one beach date. He was polite, but either not into her or something was wrong. He was rather acting then feeling. He also stated that he is JUST OUT of relationship he tought was the one. That statement passed her entirely at that point.

While he has developed some feelings for DA he is not ready, and has no experience in that department. Even Ellen on her show told her that he is hot but that communication and him commiting would be  a major problem.

So if I were DA, and if I were falling for him, I would cut him lose as well. She desperatelly wanted to see if she made the right decision, hence all the words. She did. He did not stand up and profess his feeligs. And stop finding excuses for him, he is 29 not 5! In other clips he is quite vocal and while it remains the fact he is interested in her, it also remains the fact that he is not marriage material.

She HAD TO let him lose to heal sufficiently and focus on the other guys. While I really was not a fan of Jeremy, I think he is the best bet. Jesse and her are two different worlds, very good for friends but not for a mate. She is not a type living on the mountain (he fears hights) in his bungalow. Jason is nice but he will put his kid first and she will forever had to deal with his ex. It is very difficult and you gals should trying if first. Once you have kids with your ex you do not get closure - ever, so she and what was will always be there. Plus Jason is too meek. She wants someone like Graham but who can speak up. If that was my choice, I would stick with Jason and Jesse as friends and get that science teacher back and marry him. He was better looking then anybody else and was smarter. Or I might be wrong and and all her apearance of a lady is just a fasade and she really is one rough chick into saying 'dude' and having teenage parties. She is 25 after all, so maybe in that case Jesse. Jason cringed himself on her idea of 3 more kids in 4 years. I mean this guy knows how much work that is - not to mention how expensive. IF she wants to be a baby machine and not having financial worries - Jeremy again.

He was her favorite from the beginning so go for him.

I was sick when Deanna sent Graham home, I was so upset I had to take a anti depressant. I was just so into them, I believed they made an addorable couple and that Graham cared about her deeply, if he didn't it wouldn t bother him when she was with the other guys.

I think Deann made a big mistake in letting him go, she should have waited unitd the over night date to give him more time.

I wish ABC would bring him back.

I THINK GRAHAM WAS HOT BUT....KINDA HAD THE ATTITUDE THAT IF NOT DEANNA HE COULD HAVE SOMEONE ELSE IN A HEART BEAT.CAMERA OR NO CAMERA IF HE TRUELY LIKED HER HE WOULD HAVE SHOWN A LITTLE MORE EMOTION AND MAYBE EXPRESSED THAT HE WAS A LITTLE CAMERA SHY.A LITTLE TOO COCKY FOR ME NOT TOO MENTION THEY PRACTICALLY ARGUED IN EVERY EPISODE THEY WERE IN TOGETHER..IT WOULD HAVE NEVER WORKED!

 She is crazy!!! Graham was her chance at real love. She is only 26 and will be annoyed by Jesse in 6 months if she picks him and bored out of her f...ing mind if she picks Jason in 2 years tops!!! You 've gotta have that spark,those butterflies otherwise it's just work ultimately.

Graham has depth and when he does commit to someone she will be LUCKY!!!

Don't settle Deanna!!!!!! Just because you are afraid to be alone

In the Men Tell All....I could see the sadness in Grahams eyes.  He was smiling but the sparkle was not there.  He looked like a whipped dog.  I have read alot of spoilers and what he has told reporters that he didn't think they were a good match...but you could see it in his eyes...he really wishes he could go back and do it all over again.

Don't give up Graham...women want men who will fight for them!

Maybe I'm wrong...but the eyes are truely the windows to the soul!!

I want the fairy tale ending...I want Graham back!

karie said:

It was pretty obvious at the track when Deeana literally begged for a kiss that Graham was either not as into her as she him or that he was too immature and jealous to be taking part in a competition like this. He caused himself to be cast out, and it seems like he was content to be cast out.

I am a mother that would love to see my daughter happy.  She has had such bad luck in finding a true love.  She is a very kind and sweet person, not just because she is my daughter.  She believes everything these men say, because she want to see good in everyone, but it seem that she can't find the right man for her soul mate.  I must tell you that she only want men that are of mixed race, because she is mixed.  I didn't teach her that, she just love being with black men.  She has many friends of all races, but she wants to marry only mixed, because she is of mixed race,"white and black.  This shouldn't matter, but it does to her.  Please email me if you can help her find her soul mate.
