She is who she is, and she doesn't need to prove she has an emotional side or be more like the others and gush over Jason. He should appreciate that kind of woman, but it looks like he would rather have someone that is a sure thing.

I'm sure TPTB pulled out all the stops with her to, as you say, achieve the desired outcome.

It was very telling when Jason said that Jillian could break his heart. No way is he choosing someone who could break his heart by saying "no" on national tv.

I don't see the connection, at least from her side, with Jason. Has she ever professed her deep feelings for him? Just an observation.
By the way, her grandmother seems like a hoot! I love funny grandmas!

I shouted out...tell her the truth..the producers told you..they love drama and they told you to ask her about it. Then in the coffee house or whatever it was, I think she felt pressured to break down like some of the others have to prove she cared.

Jillian reminds me a lot of myself. I hate drama, and I think she doesn't care for it either. She would rather be her friend's rock than worry about her feelings, which I think is an awesome trait--very sefless IMO. Jillian is comfortable with being herseld, and I think she isn't going to fake it for Jason. I think Jillian is falling for Jason, but she isn't going to shout it at the top of her lungs. She isn't all touchy-feely either, which i actually appreciate. I think she wants to know him and have great conversations with him and the physical part will come. I respect her so, so much. I just adore her.

I loved the part at the beginning where Chris is there telling them they are going to Seattle, they all are walking out of the room, and Jillian gives Chris a high 5. She is just cool, just like Megan said.

I don't know, like she said, she's been holding it together because everyone else around her has been breaking down and she needs to be the strong one. Put in this situation with Jason, one on one, to discuss how she is feeling about him and the situation is just the scenario where she was going to show some emotion (I'm reminded of the coffee shop moment that Hillary Clinton had)....we're finally seeing the Jillian that we all knew was there - she's not just there for the adventure and is liking on Jason.....

And it's a shame her tv story will end just when TPTB get her to spill her guts on tv.

I noticed that too - and thought, "wow, she even tries to include CH to make him feel more at home"

I think she probably had to be a rock for her mom, and honestly, that is just part of her now. What an amazing, confident woman! He definitely does miss out.

I disagree. I think Jason and Jillian have a very nice connection, and that she is definitely into him. Maybe she hasn't professed deep feelings, but some people aren't ready to get married after 4 weeks of dating (or whatever), especially since she's only been on one alone date with him!
In real life, many long-lasting romances start out the way Jillian's and Jason's has.

But I understand what you are saying and respect your opinion.

Isn't it funny how Jason admired Deanna for her strength and yet it seems to be a character flaw for Jillian.......
