I think this sounds about right, but I hope her & Reid were at least in contact up until ATFR, otherwise I think he'll turn her down.

part of me thinks perhaps she made her decision in real life after FRC, but we only find out at ATFR. Because they're already announcing her appearances with her chosen one (Regis & Kelly); I would think if she hasn't chosen yet, they wouldn't announce this; would if he turns her down after all this time has gone by?

Here is some info from the go2realitytv website. This is in the section why they believe if Ed proposes that she won't accept. Anyway, this seems to go along with what lisamill36 was saying earlier. That Reid would possibly be rejected twice and then accepted at the AFRC. What do you all think? Would that mean that they dated or were in contact in the in between? Still not sure how it would play out in this scenario.

However the most important reason why this will not happen is Reid! From the minute Reid arrived on the show there was something between Jillian and Reid that was special. She was crushed to send him home and when he comes back and proposes to Jillian the odds that she says ok thats over with lets go get engaged to Mr. Short Shorts now. Jillian has made some poor or questionable decisions throughout this show but in the end she will make the right decision. That decision is to say no to Ed, Kiptyn and Reid at the Final Rose Ceremony. A proposal is supposed to be special. It is not supposed to be a hectic, shocking, sad event. She will walk away from all three guys at the Final Rose Ceremony.

We are then off to the After the Final Rose Show. Once we get to that show there is no possible way Jillian can choose Ed. Whether she admits it or not Jillian reads stuff about the show. She hears the girlfriend rumors, she sees the world making fun of the computer geek with the short shorts and lavender jacket. But again, Reid will be at the After the Final Rose show. She will pick Reid. If we are wrong we will be shocked.

Has the ATFRC been filmed yet?
If she chose Reid as her F1, i'm pretty sure that's already happened.

I only recall that Reid was seen going to LA in early June, so it's possible. I mean, if Jillian is doing interviews right off the bat. But, I guess it could still be filmed.

she's starting to make the rounds next week - Kimmel on the 21st - anyone know what else she's doing next week? AFRC, if it isn't taped already needs to be taped pronto since it will air in 11 days. Maybe it's happening this weekend?

I don't remember where, but I read an interview where she said something along the lines of her still having a fear that the relationship can fail, but its okay because she'll end up in the same place where she was before the show started, which is a good place...so to me, that says she is in a relationship.

Also, she says she's happy, funnier, smarter...coupled with her "I really am an eskimo..."

Freedom has also said that Reid becomes F1 in a unique way...these puzzle peices all fit together IMO.

I agree.
She also mentioned that she was looking for someone that likes architecture and wine, right?

<----------------- so then why didn't she pick this guy?

I'd be shocked that she didn't make her decision at the FRC however, i wouldn't be shocked if we don't find out until the ATFR

I'm thinking she picks Reid at the FRC, but turns down his proposal, saying he is right, they need to see how things go in the real world, and then possible news of an engagement for the ATFR, since it's been close to 2 months?

I don't much care for the theory than Reid gets turned down 2x (also at the FRC), and then she picks him at the ATFR? If they've had no contact since May, that relationship is doomed to failure, IMO. Plus if Reid does return and 'confess' his love and/or proposes, that would seem almost cruel for Jillian to keep him hanging for 2 months...
