Bachelorette 5**** Spoilers, episode 9 with screencaps

[atem]

Yeah, but I thought Kiptyn's date in Spain showed that they really don't fit.

They did the same thing in Spain with Kip having to take Flamenco dance lessons. Are they intentionally removing the romantic possiblities? Maybe things are so solid between him and Jillian that they need to make it look more platonic than it is? Just throwing it out there.

Jill is active so I don't think that's a bad thing for Kip. I think she enjoys dates like that quite a bit.

Brendaavon, I like your thinking. I think Kip is F3. Trust is a big issue with anyone, but Jillian and Ed seem to have a strong connection. Reid grounds her.

Then TPTB give him permission (encouragement) to stay in Hawaii until the FRC while Jillian thinks about his proposal. She says she knew for a few days or a week what she was going to do...She then goes on the LCDs with Kip and Ed, and Ed somehow also proposes, but her mind is made up to accept Reid's proposal. TPTB may even edit it to look like Reid comes back on the day of the FRC, and she rejects Ed and Kiptyn. Then in the last five minutes she introduces Reid to her family and accepts his proposal. It would make sense then to have all three guys at the ATFR, the real F2 and the final F1. Just a thought...

All good thoughts COLORWHEEL. I have another variation on your theme. What if he (Reid) does come back the day the FRC is scheduled, proposes... she thinks about it and it rocks her world. She then says goodbye to f2 (Kip) and takes some time to think. Maybe she takes a couple days to think. Could the FRC be rescheduled to accommodate this extreme setting? Just wondering and trying to put legs to this scenerio. Many have said that filming was extended?...

Now that I think about it though, your scenerio is just as plausible. (but I think Reid would need a little time to ask advice from his myriad of advisors in order to change his 'commitment tune') They can edit it to look just how they like. Oh yes, they can and they do! In fact, TPTB could edit it either way and we would be none the wiser. The family is still in town either way- within reach of a Reid-meeting. I can only imagine how well he would get along with her family!!!

I thought I saw somewhere that it was posted (by CH maybe?) that the "problem in the bedroom was due to the long day of hanging from ropes" or something like that. Thats why I have always believed that SC to be of Kiptyn. Idk....

I am sad about that though because I think Ed is a player who just followed the script to win (with support of tptb) and Reid seems like a sincere guy who got shafted. I just hope Reid does not embarrass himself by coming back after he is rejected. and I hope to see Reid as host of an hgtv show, not as the next bachelor (where it is impossible not to be thrown under the bus) I think in real life jilian and ed are already history but they may fake it for the atfr

I totally agree with you! I hope Reid doesn't get too heartbroken and he'll be on HGTV (so we can continue to watch his hot and adorable self) and that he'll find true love in real life and not on TV.

I haven't heard that one - but - maybe that would make sense - in that maybe the poor guy has some muscle spasm - reason for back rub - and can't be romantic - because he hurts - much better than can't perform for other reasons

Can we have a link for that? I just don't want this turn into absolute truth before we have concrete proof for that quote.

I really tried to watch Jill and Ed to see what others are so adamantly seeing, but I literally could not bring myself to watch.

Where can I find the sleuthing/pictures of Ed?
