Bachelorette 5 Thoughts and Comments

[anders332]

All I can say is that I wasn't suprised by Ed's edit. It further proves what sdl said about "certain folks" not liking him.

I believe she did pick Ed at the FRC, but have since parted ways and that's one of the reasons for the cryptic 'I"m happy' responses and his lousy edit on the FD and last night.

Agreed. Way to be subtle, ABC!

Yeah the separation in character couldn't be wider.

Kiptyn seems like a really really good guy.

Question:

Who was the poster who posted that a source said they would be throwing Ed "under the bus" in the final episodes?

They really are doing that, aren't they!?

I just have to say Jillian's blog made me sad for her. I can't believe all the nasty stuff people said to her regarding letting Reid go....in all honesty, i love Jillian; and if she pickes Ed and she is happy, so be it!

[anders332]

Exactly! I've said it repeatedly -- the people running this show are sadists!

How anyone can expect to come away from this horror show with a happy, sappy love story is beyond me. This is not a Lifetime production, it's a Fleiss production.

I respect that there are people who want Reid and Jillian to be together, but in the cold light of reality, that whole scenario is sad, not romantic.

Would Reid wear casual shoes when proposing marriage? I doubt it.

Do we have any background in the pic of the minivan/taxi? trees, houses, etc?
Here's what I'm thinking could be a possibility. Reid takes the Taxi to the "Meet the Parents" house and knocks on the door. Shocking everyone of course. Could be the more casual shoes, etc.

OR it's when he's first returning to talk to to Jill since he's been cut... Obviously not at the FRC because like e1 has stated, he wouldn't come to FRC in casual clothing. Just some things that popped into my head.

anders, how do you reconcile that with her saying in her blog today that she can't wait to reveal her secret?

[TxLonghorns]

The thing with that is she said she found it hilarious in front of Chris but she looked freaking pissed off when it happened... I thought that whole thing was weird.

I agree - she acted like it was funny to CH b/c he is still in the running and she couldn't really say what she really thought. They still want us to think that she might pick Ed. Her actions at the time tell the truth.....she was not amused then.

Last night what stood out was during her chat with CH after the hula dance clip.........she say "but really, one of those things, won me over". She was so animated/excited talking about that dance with him as well.

I thought the hula dancing was freaking adorable. There is a big difference between an edit that shows a guy letting go/looking silly than one that shows a guy being stumbling drunk and unable to carry on a convo with the girl in question.

And as for Jillian saying Ed was funny? She was easy on all of the guys last night. She was accepting of Tanner's foot fetish, gentle on Wes, and fairly even-keeled with David. I think she is just aiming to come across as tolerant (and she is tolerant, IMO).

The bus was actually backing up over him last night !
