I think it is from the LCD - which puts Kip ont he BI - the guy in the door - is known to be on BI - appears to be more Ed than anyone else - definitely not Reid - JMHO tho Sadly I don't think that Reid is a part of that

But now - I believe that the paddle date is part of the LCD :

Ha, we all have changed our minds so many times! I remember you saying you thought Reid might be Kip on the rock and the ziplining and rock date might be the same, but you probably did say before that the both Kip dates might be Maui. (Going back weeks on this thread to check is way too time-consuming.)

But, now you think the Kip paddle date is the BI. What changed your mind?

Thanks for your input CG! I agree that it is Ed in the door and Kip on a LCD.

Can anyone find pictures of a beach that matches this one with black/dark brown sand? The sand at the beach you mentioned above does not match the sand in the pic below.

From this pic, the sun sets in the west so we should concentrate on finding beaches that face west? West side of Maui or the BI?

As far as her "concerns" with Reid, I believe that she said that in a joking manner as she was laughing as she was saying it........I don't think that would be a "concern" as you say.

Regarding ED as being the clear winner....................I would hate to see someone be the winner that is described as Ed.............he was with 2 ladies during the filming of the show, he doesn't look great in those pics that were taken recently, and I honestly wonder how much time he will set aside for Jill considering that his job means more to him than her(he left her and went back to his life instead of staying and committing to her and the process)

You know what, how he looks today is irrelevant to me. I am making those assumptions about him while he was a possible contender to Jillian's heart. We know that once they are in the real world, things can change and they often will. With everything that seems to be going on now ... the rumors (verified or not), etc., feelings and impressions are likely to change and I don't know where these new experiences or feelings will lead them to. As regards his present look, I do not know what to think because I have no idea where and when ... and in what context these pictures were taken. Also, I have no access to his 'thinking process'. Anyway, we were shown a couple of unflattering pictures of him ... and they sure look unflattering but I am not going to judge him harshly on the basis of these pictures. I happen to have lots of unflattering pictures of myself in seemingly unflattering situations (bad hair and all), but these pictures do not necessarily define me as a human being.

The date descriptions........ tho I could be wrong again LOL

RS's blog wasn't up until late Tuesday when this was being bandied about.

It might be my imagination of sorts, but I am seeing lots of similiarities to how the edit is going with comparrisons of Byron and Mary's season went.
Reid = Mary......questioning compatability, committment.......not seen in FS
Kip = Tanya.......calm, endearing..........seen in FS
Ed = Cynthia......completely physical, weird, etc..........seen in FS
Wes=Chereese.....questionable character. acting tough.......didn't go to FS

I know you asked Capegal, but can I answer too? I'm not sure who the F2 are, my point was only that we shouldn't assume Kip is in the F2 because of the paddle board date since we can't be sure that's on the BI.

If, as I suggested the other day, Ed proposes early on the boat date (that's his surprise to show Jillian how serious he is), I could see her letting him go at F3 because she knows she isn't willing to take such a big gamble with him. If Kip and she have issues about the Fantasy Suite (he's not willing to get intimate because she might be getting intimate with others as well) then I can see her letting Kip go at F3. I don't see her letting Reid go at F3, not with the way they have beefed up his story line the past two episodes...although their cutting his Esme fantasy scene last week in Spain may mean exactly that: Why show them in bed together if he's not one of the F2, she looks too promiscuous.

Bottom Line: We have no idea who gets cut at F3. None of them are a lock.

Again, I can't imagine her saying that she loves who she is w/ Reid, and she is crazy about him and still herself and how special that he is that she will let him go next episode. So, I am going to go with that and ignore the confusion about it being all about Ed that they seem to be showing/telling us right now. If I'm wrong in the end, I'll just have to really wonder and just get over it.

I think we are actually being shown a love story amongst all the drama........that love story exists between Reid and Jillian. IMO

Funny to come back by and see you guys discussing this. For several reasons, I just can't imagine the Final 2 not being Ed and Reid. IF for no other reason, than they have shown growth with both of them, and Kip is already being set up and being the one she liked most at first with the feelings fading somewhat.

I have no guesses on which would be the final one, but if Kip left, either of the other ones could fit the imagine that the previews and Jillians interviews have set up.

Let's say it's Ed...F1. Reid comes, and gets rejected. He goes off on her for rejecting him. Leading him on. Spills the beans about Ed's girlfriend drama. Tells Jillian she isn't being fair. (It hurt to hear the things he had to say.) Reid says he can commit. He loves her. Please Marry him. Ed will use you. He may not even show. He might leave you like he did before.
Jillian is traumatized but she sends him away anyway. And then she is standing, waiting for Ed, worrying that he won't show.
But he does, sweeps her off her feet, proposes and they live happily ever after or at least until the credits roll.

OR..say it's Reid. Ed comes, and gets rejected. He goes off on her for rejecting him. He gave up so much for her. All his girlfriends. Jeopardized his career. Flew his parents over. Tells her Reid won't commit. That he's neurotic. Lives with his parents and works in the family business. That he will wuss out. (It hurt to hear the things he had to say.) He loves her. Please Marry him. Reid may not even show. He might leave you because he's so indecisive.
Jillian is traumatized but she sends him away anyway. And then she is standing, waiting for Reid, worrying that he won't show.
But he does, sweeps her off her feet, proposes and they live happily ever after or at least until the credits roll.

Either one fits the edit and fits with Jillian's brilliant ending. Also fits with her PR line of maybe not picking anyone. And leaves everyone hanging on til the last minute.
