Reid she has a connection with that reminds me so much of Trista and Ryan.They feel like a couple to me and the connection is natural between them.

I guess we each see different things and I don't see any one she picks lasting past the duration of the show.

I'm speculating it now because it would be the only way her comment about making her decision a few days before FRC works. Maybe he comes back after the MTP dates, but before the LCDs? Do we have any VOs that would contradict this as a possibility?

I do think there is a lot of forced drama this season...Ed being allowed to leave and return, Jake leaving and coming back, the big Wes/Jake confrontation, etc. It's so much that it seems like the producers planned it out. And if Ed's parents all of a sudden show next week that will be another first for the show. Sounds like sdl was right and the show was kinda a disaster and they added some drama into the mix to see if it spiced things up some.

Girlfriend rumors aside Ed worries me for Jill. He left for weeks and came back when his work was done and it was convenient for him if it's to be believed he left for work purposes. He was clear about not wanting to live in Canada and Jill said that was her wish down the line earlier in season so I think she might be the type to bend over backwards but not always for the right guy. Hope I'm wrong.

His friends have said he's always positive and happy. So, IF he's F2 like most of us suspect, I am at peace with it. The guy really has a good life, good friends, (and the perfect hometown ) I think he's better off finding his Princess Perfect in real life, without all the cameras and spotlights.

I think it's because he wanted to drum up more interest for the Bro-Am event. I've read they raised $93,000 for Stand Up for Kids, good for them!

If the past is an indication on this show you would be spot on. I think they should take the whole engagement scenario out of it and let it play out. I bet some of them would work out if the pressure wasn't so intense so quickly.

I agree Kip will be just fine if he F1 or not. Hot guy who handled himself with class on the show. Women will be lining up for him even more than usual.

But then why is she upset at the FRC, as if it had just happened and needed time to think about it?

I might be reading something into nothing regarding her blog, but to me, she seems to feel she has to justify her connection with Ed and that is why she talks more about him in her blog. With that being said, maybe she is also trying to justify it to herself of the connection as she might be questioning it.
What I also felt interesting is when you look at her blog, she is talking about all the comments/questions that were sent to her.......This is one thing that stands out for me...........I took it as meaning that Ed is still on the market out there as he isn't her F1

"The funniest entry I read was from Karen:

Dear Jillian,
If you have rejected Ed, I think I might leave my husband and two children and wander around Chicago with a bullhorn looking for him and his adorable sweater.

Girl, I sure hope it works out for you!"


With Reid and Kip, maybe she feels that their connections actually speak for themselves on the TV.

I'm sure she would be upset to let both Kip and Ed go, she does have feelings for them. I don't recall now what clips or comments we have of her in her FRC gown that would indicate something more complicated is going on.

It has already been pointed out by another poster that this is part of Karen's comment from last week, and if you go back to her blog from last week and look at the comments.........THESE ARE KARENS WORDS NOT JILLIANS.
