Where is our "The Bachelorette" thread?

[two*little*birds]

I am so glad Wes is gone!

I never understood what she saw in him.

So now that we're down to 3, who do you think will get the final rose?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I'm trying to figure out if Wes is really, really smart, or just plain stupid. Yes, he got the exposure he wanted. Will I ever buy his CD? not bloody likely! Even if I liked that kind of music, I simply wouldn't support him. I know it sounds corny, but really, the guy simply has NO class. Even the way he dressed....uugghhh...how did she keep him in this long?!

Having said that, though, you must admit - he's been pretty entertaining and certainly added some "spice" to the usual Bachelorette mixture. This has definitely been the most interesting season thus far!

I agree, no class at all. ( but he did have the looks ) And I did wonder too why she kept him around so long. Did you hear what he said during the rose ceramony? " will be going home and having lots and lots of s e x "
What a creep.
At least she has 3 great guys left. I just hope she picks the right one that will propose to her.

I am so glad Wes is gone to,I was beginning to think she was going to learn a very hard lesson!
It will be interesting to see who her final two are going to be,I am hoping Ed is in the top two though.

I thought Jill's date w/ Reid was the most fun. I like all 3 of the guys left but like the way Jillian seems more herself w/ Reid & Ed.

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

I am rooting for Reid, although I must be realistic, he is probably going to be the one with the "failure to launch". If anyone has issues it's Reid, I think he might psych himself out sometimes...we'll see. I'm glad Wes is gone, but it has been a fun ride with him!
Can't wait 'til next week.
Do you think there will be a "Boys tell all" episode? I REALLY hope so, there is certainly a lot of drama to cover!!

 

[brighteyes]

I definately think that there will be a "tell all" and won't Wes look like an supreme jerk, adn then the questions will come, why didn't you tell Jillian? to the other guys.

I think Ed will be the one with the "failure to launch" episode on the Hawaii episode. She seems more attached to him.

I do like Reid as well, and I can't remember who else is left?? Oh ya, Kiptyn.

Guess I will have to rewatch it again. I want to know who and what happens on the finale??? Who is saying that they didn't really think of everything until now. and what the heck does THAT mean?? I am trying to figure it out -- but can't

Guess I will have to wait....

It sounds like Kiptyn's voice saying that, but it could be from the Hawaii episode, I don't think they would risk giving that info away so early in the season, they've been playing that sound bite for a few weeks now. But it does look like someone show's up at the last minute, just like last season with Jason.
Wonder who it could be, not Jason? He is so old news!!

 

[Kickapoo Joie Juice]

I'm still trying to figure out how Wes could do such a good job of being such a smooth criminal, and then completely blow it in the limo on the way out. I mean, is anybody going to like him now? There would have been *tons* of stupid women who would have believed him (and bought his cd) if he had kept denying he had a girlfriend all the way out the door.

I mean, even the most deluded, in love with Wes watcher can't deny he's just a loathesome guy.

I did find it very interesting that Wes called Reid an *****, but didn't really have anything specifically bad to say about the other three.

I think that Kiptyn's not sustainable-I've so run into his type before I got married, it's all super attentive and fabulous, and then bit by bit he just sort of tucks back into himself, gets bored, and politely moves on. He's looking for a trophy wife that's more of a partner than a high maintenance girl, and he's not seeing Jillian as the girl he wants to continue his Kiptyn Empire on. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but he definitely has a Kiptyn-centered agenda that I don't think Jillian will ultimately qualify for.

The fact that every time they show the two of them together the "caution" tape from the hot tub is waving prominently in the foreground is a big giveaway from the producers, I think.

The question is, she's insisting on an engagement at the end of the show, and the three guys who are left are rightly petrified, which I think is a good thing-it shows caution and prudence. I think if she can't accept a commitment from one of the guys and instead runs to whichever one says he'll marry her, well, that says to me that the guys who wanted to wait were dead on in their assessment of her.

If she wanted a guaranteed proposal at the end of the show, then she really screwed up in her choices, all three of whom are rational, emotionally cautious men. I am happily married (for 16 years) to a rational, emotionally careful guy, and it was five years of dating before we were married!

Jake, breakdance Mike, and baseball Mike all would have proposed to her at the end, she just rejected them. So, I think if the finale ends without a proposal, it's because Jillian doesn't know what she wants, not that the guys were wrong not to propose.

 

[brighteyes]

I think so too, on the soundbite that it is Kiptyn. Wes didn't blow it in the limo, he MEANT to say that, which is why he is A hole. Which is why he is an even worse jerk, the fact that he said many times to the guys that he has a gf and is going to be having plenty of sex when he gets home!!! I think that might just have lost him some fans.

I was long gone from the beginning on Wes. I never liked him, wasn't sure why but did not trust his motives. He just looked kinda creepy to me.

I just started watching this a few episodes ago. Wes was a jerk and she KNEW it but kept trying to see something that was not there cause she thought he was hot.

Ed does not seem to be as into her as she is into him. I like the Realtor....(Reid?)
but he has some issues. He is old enough to just get on with his life.

I liked Jake and the other Tall, dark one who left last week....really liked him.


As for Kipton, I did not get to see any of the dates except the one with his family. He seems so nice. What is the scoop.

I'm still trying to figure out how Wes could do such a good job of being such a smooth criminal, and then completely blow it in the limo on the way out. .

don't forget, you have only seen what the producers wanted you to see. A couple of weeks back, they showed Wes making a couple of statements that were a little off - one specifically was "I got more airtime than I planned, so it's all good" (or something to that effect) as well as "I have Jillian right where I want her - wrapped around my little finger". I would be awfully surprised if he hadn't been making all kinds of inappropriate comments behind the scenes, we just never got to see/hear them before now. We knew the foot-fettish guy talked to Jillian about Wes, and Jake came back to warn her about Wes, but we never saw Wes talk to any of the guys about having a girlfriend. The producers edited him in such a way that he looked like a great guy! I sure hope they do a guys-tell-all show!

 

[DearDaisyinDurham]

Everyone ready for tonight??

 

[brighteyes]

I can't wait for tonight's show!!

 

[DearDaisyinDurham]

Hawaii is gorgeous!!! Tonight's show should be great! Ready to start watching....

 

[brighteyes]

OMG! ED!! What the heck??!! I think she was right to get rid of Reid, if he couldn't tell her how he felt - but she asked him and he couldn't tell her.

I want to know what the drama is with the proposal, and who tells her all this stuff that is hard for her to hear??!! The suspense is killing me!

[ash-n-brensmom]

Jillian, you made a big mistake, girl...

 

[CJK]

Ah Jillian! I fear there will be no happy ending for you just yet. She reminds me a lot of myself before I "grew up" a bit. I was always going after the "bad boy" and although I had a lot of fun, I was hurt more than once. It seems to me like Jillian is still in that phase and keeps letting the good guys go. I actually don't mind Kypton or Ed, but I do NOT see a relationship with either of them working out. I think Kypton is too casually invested and is just enjoying the travel and romance. I don't believe he's really thinking marriage. Ed seems to have too many issues, and I don't believe he's marriage material (right now at least) either. I feel bad for Jillian, but I'm hoping she learns a lot from this experience and finds Mr. Right on her own terms.

Very well put...not as eloquent as myself, but not bad..

 

[brighteyes]

I think she has let the good guys go too. With Reid though I kept picturing a life of silence in the house when he was upset about something or no flowers on the anniversary. I can imagine him saying down the road, "You should just KNOW that I love you, I shouldn't have to TELL you." lol

I like Ed and Kyptin but don't see either of them being ready for long term either, even though Ed is saying he would propose to her.

2 more weeks to wait and find out what the drama is all about.

 

[two*little*birds]

I think the emotional stress is getting to Gillian, and she's making some bad decisions. Ed was my original pick, but now that we're seeing more of him I agree that he has too many issues and just isn't ready for marriage (right now anyways).

Poor Gillian, I hope she doesn't get her heart broken again.
