for the man she let go. He was truly a GREAT match for her, at least from the edit that he received. The other guy is a GREAT guy but he's more meat and potatoes. The man she let go was truly hurt and has so much dignity and class. Like I said 'my heart is breaking for him.'
Who did she pick?
Ed.
Is anyone giving us West Coasters a recap of what is happening tonight?
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
Thanks for the recap!
The volcano erupting after the lights went out with Jillian and Ed. That was just too much...
Reminded me of a spoof movie (Top Secret? Airplane?) where they had a montage of rockets firing, trains rushing into tunnels, Old Faithful erupting......)
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.
My only hope is that with Reid and Ed and Jake all coming back that the Bachelorette had booked return tickets. Much cheaper than 2 one-ways (although Jake probably got an employee discount)
An underwhelming finale. All I learned is that Jilly is a horndog, Ed only owns one pair of green swimming trunks, and Kiptyn was relieved that he didn't have to propose. Oh, and we have a new Bachelor: Reid.
There was quite a lot of sucky face going on!
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.
