quick & dirty recap:Ed: questions from Jillian's mother; asked father what he would think if Ed proposed to Jillian; hula dancing; helicopter ride over volcano; picnic by waterfall; really laying it on thick-she's a genius and is perfect for him; swimming in lagoon; stayed in his hotel room for the night
Kiptyn: realized he was in love with Jillian when he was talking w/ her father; raftboat ride to deserted beach, surfing
both bachelors pick out engagement rings. Ed has a hideous wardrobe.
Kiptyn out of first limo. REJECTED.
Reid pulls up in a taxi. comes back, professes his love and goes down on one knee and proposes. She goes into the mansion where she thinks it over. Chris basically tells her to give Reid the heaveho so she does.
Ed: accepts his proposal
I just don't see myself falling in love with 2 men at the same time. Just strange.I figured it could go either way. But when her dad seemed to prefer Ed? That put Ed in the lead.
About Reed. Wondering if this was just another planted bit of drama by the producers. Like Jake returning to tell her about Wes.
What's to keep any rejected suitor from returning at any time? I think they contacted Reed to come back; and that Jillian was told about it in advance.
And another thing.
About that redwood walkway over the pool.
It must have taken all day long - or several days for them to film all that. Sometimes the walkway was really wet - with puddles of water; then it would be almost dry - with just a few dark spots of wet; then there would be puddles again.
Either it rained a lot and the sun was out to dry it all out a lot
-or-
it was shown to us out of sequence. Maybe they had Jillian out there to meet Reed hours before Kipton ever got there.
Then they put the film together to make it look like Reed arrived between Kipton & Ed.
Since After The Final Rose was shot in advance I had heard the spoilers that Jillian picked Ed before watching the show. I saw some photos from the viewing party lastnight. Juan has posted them on his Facebook. Juan, Jesse, Reid, Jillian and Ed were all at the party. Jillian is wearing her ring in the photos and her and Ed look happy. Jillian and Reid are goofing in one photo and it looks like he is trying to lick her face. So he obviously isn't crying about being turned down.
