His big news: Paul, Graham and Jeremy -- rose winners last week -- will be moving to the penthouse. Science teacher Richard, who will be leaving the big house, wonders about "DeAnna's feelings."
The three new housemates meet DeAnna at the pool. She wants Graham to spend the "rest of the time at the house without his shirt on." After some frolicking in the pool, the foursome moves to the hot tub. Back at the outhouse, the boys appoint Jeremy and Graham the front runners.
"I don't think Jeremy is the right guy for DeAnna," chef Robert says. The other men no doubt share this opinion.
After rubbing some suntan lotion on DeAnna, the boys head back to the outhouse with a date card. Richard will be joining DeAnna for "rooftop romance." Richard is thrilled, dubbing this "put up or shut up time."
Back from commercial break, DeAnna emerges in a stunning black dress. "It's like she has a closet full of perfection," an awed Jesse gushes.
Richard and DeAnna head out in the back of a limo. They head to the roof of a "landmark building" in Los Angeles for champagne and dinner. "What is the most romantic thing youve done for a girl?" DeAnna asks. Richard tells of a picnic dinner he once planned on the cliffs of Ontario. The science teacher then tells her about the stars.
Cut to the outhouse, where the next group date is announced. Brian, Sean, Twilley, Jesse, Graham, Fred, Robert, Ron, Paul and Jeremy will be "city slickers" who "leave L.A. behind."
Back on the roof, Richard worries about his income. DeAnna says she just wants her man -- whoever he ends up being -- to be "happy at his job." And just to be safe, she also has "no problem working." Then Richard drops a semi-bomb: He has never brought a girlfriend home.
Not yet convinced the spark is there, DeAnna moves inside for another drink. Richard, meanwhile, is planning to lean in for a kiss. After a few moments of non-speaking and awkward hair stroking, DeAnna heads downstairs for a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city.
Richard is falling in love, but DeAnna isn't feeling it. She stops the carriage and tells Richard that she just can't give him the rose. DeAnna starts crying. Richard is stone faced. The two share an awkward embrace. "Good luck," Richard says before leaving the carriage. He is going home -- and not to the outhouse.
The next day, the group gets ready for the big date by donning boots, cowboy hats and flannel shirts. Jesse says that Jeremy is the main competition and that everyone "really wants to bring that dude down."
The group arrives at a dude ranch and DeAnna announces that "we're fixin' to do some line dancing!" The men take lessons from a real cowboy with varying degrees of success.
Back at the house, Jason talks to his son Ty on the phone. He looks at pictures of Ty. He worries that DeAnna will not accept Ty. He hope to tell DeAnna about Ty on their one-on-one date later.
Meanwhile, the faux cowboys have moved onto bull riding. Snowboarder Jesse performs the best. Now it's DeAnna turn. She decides to "play a trick" on the guys by faking an injury (albeit none-too-convincingly). Jesse is first on the scene to "save" her, earning him some personal time. Yee-haw!
Jesse explains that he broke up with his last girlfriend because she was an "arm doll." He wants someone who is a real individual. He also wants to live with someone who allows him to be himself -- "that guy who farts at night in bed." DeAnna, amazingly, says she knows what he means.
Back at the dude ranch, DeAnna confronts Ron about calling out Jeremy for not being a guy's guy. Ron says his disagreement with Jeremy has nothing to do with her "process."
At the campfire, Ron recounts the conversation, saying Jeremy lacks "a level of tact." Jeremy calls Ron close minded. He then questions Rons tact. The two will never be golf buddies.
Graham and Fred, meanwhile, plan a sneak attack. They creep up on Jeremy's alone time with DeAnna, scaring both of them. The strategy works. The two get some two-on-one time with the beloved bachelorette.
Robert pulls DeAnna aside. He says he felt "huge chemistry" the first night and not much the second. Now, however, he "can't feel his fingertips." The line impresses DeAnna because she gives him arose. Robert calls it "a turning point."
The next day, Robert reads a note from DeAnna telling Jason to "reach for the stars. But will she accept Ty?
DeAnna arrives for her date. Minutes later, a helicopter lands near the house. Jason "can not even believe it." High-school football coach Brian is jealous. Not only does he enjoy DeAnna's company, but he really would like a ride in a helicopter.
One exhilarating chopper ride later, the happy couple enter the Mount Wilson Observatory to have dinner under the stars (perhaps those lessons from Richard will come in handy after all). Two eat dinner in the observatory library. Jason says: "There's one thing you dont know about me." It's time to break the news about lil' Ty.
"The most important thing in my world is ... my three-year-old son," Jason says.
DeAnna tells Jason not to be nervous. Emboldened, Jason tells Ty stories then breaks out Ty pictures. "He's so handsome!" DeAnna coos. Jason then explains that the break up of his marriage was not his decision.
Her turn to share, DeAnna tells Jason about the death of her mother. She also says that she never dated a guy who "cared to know about my mother." Feeling very close to Jason, DeAnna gives him a coveted rose. The pair moves into the observatory to study the stars. This leads to a downright passionate make-out session.
The next day, DeAnna takes all the guys to meet someone who is "very special to her." That very special someone turns out to be talk-show host Ellen Degeneres. Ellen "obviously sees through people," DeAnna observes. Appropriately then, Ellen will choose who receives a rose.
Ellen sits down with the guys, asking them their favorite thing about DeAnna. All the men gush. Ellen then asks who has kissed DeAnna. Jeremy, Graham and Robert raise their hands. Ron then reveals that he has had the longest relationship in the group at 12 years. Graham has had the shortest at five months. DeAnna then picks guys for the inevitable dance off, leading to much embarrassment for poor Brian.
Ellen and DeAnna then huddle to make a decision. "Ellen really put a lot of things in perspective for me," DeAnna says.
The boys are called out for their final test. The men drop their pants to reveal Ellen boxer shorts. Ellen takes a good look then makes her final decision. Fred gets the rose!
Back at the house, it's elimination time. DeAnna takes Ron outside, worrying that he is more concerned with the other guys -- especially Jeremy -- than her. Ron confesses that he woke up with "a little case of the DeAnnas" that morning. The conversation goes south from there. DeAnna asks Ron to name something fun about him. The question seems to utterly confuse the man.
Jeremy interrupts Ron's personal time with DeAnna. Ron refuses to shake Jeremy's hand on his way inside. Walking away, DeAnna whispers to Jeremy, "Thank you very much." One gets the feeling that Ron's time on the show is growing short. Inside, Ron vents to the boys. "Jeremy lacks integrity," he fumes.
Jeremy asks DeAnna if she would consider moving to Texas. DeAnna insists that she doesn't want to move too far from her family, but then says she would move for a guy. Jeremy takes this pseudo answer as a positive. They kiss.
Graham and DeAnna take a walk. DeAnna admits that she is worried that Graham hasn't dated enough to know what he wants. Graham says he cares for DeAnna very much, but admits that this "process with the other guys" is a bit painful. DeAnna, of course, understands. They kiss.
DeAnna takes Jason outside. She has officially named a star after Ty -- and has the certificate to prove it. "That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever given me," Jason says. DeAnna just wanted Jason to know that she is "okay with it all." They kiss.
Host Chris arrives. It's decision time. DeAnna leaves the room to think. The guys sweat. This isn't going to be easy.
Chris greets the men. DeAnna emerges. She gives a rose to ... Twilley ... Jesse ... Jeremy ... Brian .... Graham ... and finally ... Sean. It's time for Paul and Ron to say goodbye.
"Sometimes the tree gets knocked down before it ever gets to bear its fruit," Ron observes. "That's the way it is. That's the way of the universe." He also predicts that if DeAnna chooses Jeremy, then the relationship "is absolutely doomed to failure."
Ah, romance.
