Jillian the Bachlorette

[KiKi Mouse]

I am getting diff vibes from Ed..

I have never gotten the feeling he is into her. He's a nice looking guy and seems okay but I am not feelin' the love/lust between them.

 

[java]

how can you tell?

It was a picture of him from top that looked just like him I thought? Am I alone on this one?

No I think it was very obvious it was him.

Did you notice how Chris said Wes wasn't there, but neither was Reid due to a "previous engagement"??? A hint of future things to come perhaps????

 

[HLAuburn]

It was definitely Reid. And it was definitely NOT an engagement ring...maybe a "promise ring"?

So by this point there are usually rumors on who she picks. I know there's the whole "spoiler" debate, but without ruffling anyone's feathers, has anyone heard/read anything yet?

And who do you guys like? Assuming its Ed and Kiptyn and Reid, who do you think she should pick? I really like Ed - I think he's genuinely into her. I think Kypton is flatline and boring. I really like Reid too, but he's really going to have to lay it all out there for her to give him another chance.

I have not read the spoilers, so whatever I say is from my own observations.

I think that Reid is too young and immature for her. I think that Kiptyn is too "up town" for her. I think that Ed is the best fit. He's more blue collar (from Chicago) but also more grounded and a career boy as she is a career girl. Oh, and Ed is a Cubs fan and that's the most important part .

 

[JanaNs]

I'm hoping for Ed. Reid would be my second choice. Kiptyn would have to pull something amazing out of his sleeve next week for me to change my mind on him. He's just boring. Cute but boring.

I was also thinking Promise Ring.

I am pulling for Ed.

 

[robinb]

I was also thinking Promise Ring.

Which just goes to show you his maturity level. Who, over the age of 20, gives someone a promise ring? It has "teen love" written all over it. Not the love of a 30-year old woman.

did anyone listen to the reality steve interview with wes? I found it very interesting. He spoke about how they edited him to look like a bad guy which I can see. I never liked him but I think the show made him out to be even worse and that is why they didn't invite him to last nights show. He also said that he doesn't know how Ed got in touch with his job because Wes had a Grandma at home who was dying and the show wouldn't let him call home to see how she was doing. Not sure how much of the interview was real but it made me remember that there is always two sides to every story. It is long if you have time check it out.

How crazy was David on the MTA? I loved when Chris called him out for even discussing "shot gate."

I also loved the drunk Ed scene where he tells Jillian "those are a lot of words." That's how I feel nearly every week when Jillian tries to get them to admit their feelings.

 

[lillygator]

I loved the drunk Ed scenes - they were so funny.

I think they did edit Wes poorly BUT, he also said much more in those scenes last night than I remember hearing prior, glad he is gone.

I am NOT a Wes fan, but I can also see how editing could make him look much worse than he really is. I think it looks like he has a sarcastic sense of humor and a lot of what he said, when taken out of context, seems pretty damning. For instance, the "I'll always have Jillian wrapped around my little finger." comment could indeed be a sarcastic, reflective remark where he was really maing fun of HIMSELF. Don't get me wrong! I think he said some really stupid things and he certainly gave the editors plenty of juicy quotes to chose from. BUT ... I also don't think he is as big of a creep as he was made out to be. BTW, I think that Wes was invited to the show.

David was nuts lastnight, it was almost like the David Tells All show or David Knows Best, David Rules.

Well the whole Ed thing was planned in advance by the producers to get a different "twist" to this season! That is how he got in touch with his job/girlfriends from back home. I do not like Ed at all and feel he's so not into Jillian.

I'm hoping for a Reid connection but know it won't happen. They never pick the right person.

In Chris Harrison's blog this week, he said:

Before I wrap up my thoughts on this episode I have to once again deal with Wes. It is my hope that these will be my final words, as in the end he didn't really amount to much on this show or in Jillian's life. I saw in last week's comments that Wes declined coming on the show but then asked to be on only to be turned down. That is all true, but as usual with rumors too much of the truth has been left out. Wes did originally decline coming on the show. At the eleventh hour he had a change of heart and wanted to be on the show. Why the change of heart? With Wes there's always a scheme and it didn't take long to figure it out. Wes had called several of the guys (I'll let you guess who) to make sure they would back him up if he came back and only then did he call and ask to be back on the show. My opinion was I've heard enough B.S. to last me a lifetime with this guy. He doesn't matter in the grand scheme of Jillian's life so there's no reason to put up with any more of his Texas sayings and shenanigans (love that word).

 

[Wishing on a star]

Interesting that the they did not let Wes do the show!

I really couldn't even stand to watch the whole thing... They obviously scripted a lot in and tried to stir up drama with the whole 'let's all attack Dave, and Jake, and even Juan.... Good grief....

And, I have something that nobody has mentioned.....
Dave was absolutely roasted over the coals over his one comment re: Jillian's behind. Yet, it was almost celebrated that sicko foot fetish Tanner goes on and on, not just about admiring her feet.... but wanting to suck, and rub, and kiss... Ohhhhhh I could throw up....

Like Dave's one comment about one body part is so disgusting and disrespectful, etc... but Tanner's continual (and just as sexual) obsession with another body part is just great.

The whole season has not even been entertaining....
The scripts and the drama ABC comes up with just get worse each season.

 

[Dopey's twin Dippy]

ok so i ended up watching it to........pretty boring though. i agree , i think Reid will be back next week to....i really would like to know now, i hate waiting........i would pick Ed , maybe cause hes more settled....??

 

[DeluxePrincess]

That was a pretty boring show. I had to fast forward through most of it.

I think David's approach was low class and Tanner's approach was colored with humor. David was angry, Tanner was happy. David was constantly threatening people, Tanner never said he'd harm or wanted to harm anyone. David continued to try to touch Jillian's shirt, chest and kiss her after she had nicely told him not to. He was very agressive with her and kept saying crass words. If he had brought his appreciation for her tushie to the table with humor and laughter, she might not have felt threatened. Instead, he was rakish and crude; she turned her face from him when he came in for a kiss and she said, 'you've got to be kidding' but he tried to put his fingers under the edge of her shirt yet again. David was handsome but to me he seemed like he was boiling underneath and possibly dangerous to any woman he felt familiar with. I'd label him a wife beater quite honestly. Might be a bit over the top but it's how I reacted to him from the beginning-'man code' -hogwash!!!
