After the Final Rose

[Debalou]

That was certainly the most awkward ATFR I have ever seen! How many seconds of uncomfortable silence were there? I applaud Reid for not succumbing to CH's pressure to relive every painful moment of the season. Once again, Kiptyn and Reid...classy as ever.

I am so happy she didn't pick them. They deserve someone less self-centered

Chris Harrison is killing Reid. Seriously. She is really truly in love with Ed.

She might love Ed, but it is very very very obvious from tonight's episode that she is still in love with Reid as well.

I was wondering if they edited in her indecisiveness last night and had her play up the torment and drama but its clear they did not edit that it and she did not play it up. That girl is STILL torn. I've honestly never seen a bach(ette) look that torn and attached to the one they sent home.

yikes.

If I were Ed, I'd be EXTREMELY concerned not only by what I saw on Monday but also what I saw on the ATFR.

Double yikes.

Could Reid have been any MORE adorable when he wanted to ask more questions but didn't feel the need to poke and prod? It was so adorable in his witty, cute way when he mentioned one was about the Fantasy Suite. God he's amazing. As much as I don't want to see his character ruined by Fleiss, I would love to have him on my screen in January (if that's when it starts)--I mean what better way to warm up the winter. Better yet, he could get a series on HGTV-their ratings would skyrocket

Huge Reid fan but his hair is a disaster now!

A brief general comment I wanted to say on thoughts and comments strand which is now closed.

I have been a long time believer that the quicker something comes together, the potential is the quicker it will come apart.

Reid and Kyptin are both people that expect it to come together slowly and have it last.

I haven't seen the show yet and could barely watch it last night. I thank everyone on the boards for making this a more digestible experience.

No. He said he had to basically heal or whatever the next Bachelor says he has to do...just kidding.

When she asked, Reid just laughed and I think asked how old she was, because she looked really young! He said that he's not ready to date yet.

Chris just so happen to have a rose there and acted like he was giving it to Reid as though he's the Bachelor to give the rose to her!

Jillian didn't seem to find it very funny to me.

Wow, so he's pretty much the next bachelor huh? Goodness, I'm so skeptical. I just don't know. Is Reid that good of an actor?

Very strange show indeed! Jill certainly has some unresolved feelings towards Reid... BUT I do applaud her for moving forward with her relationship with Ed. I can see certain aspects of their relationship that make her very happy (namely drinking margaritas all day at the pool!!!)... but kudos to her! HUGE Reid fan, but ready to move on!!!!

Lastly, wow - so much more emotion for Reid than for Kip. Wonder how he feels?

Kiptyn got like what...5 min on the whole show? Not one question from the audience. Was he really final 2?

Wow, so he's pretty much the next bachelor huh? Goodness, I'm so skeptical. I just don't know. Is Reid that good of an actor?

I don't know, but this show is too dang scripted for a huge hint like that. Reid seems deeply hurt still. I really don't think he's ready to date really. Good thing the taping wouldn't start right away, if he was to be The Bachelor.

I don't care how bad it makes Jillian feel. She had her chance. I would like to see Reid with a girl who loves him as much as he loves her.

I'm at this point, too. There definitely seems to be unresolved emotions there for both of them but for whatever reason (she loved Ed more, she stuck with her "type", Reid couldn't open up in time, whatever) Jillian let him go twice and he deserves better than that.

[dearestone]

......Reid might say he is happy and look happy in photos but the guy was hurt. You could see it in his eyes.

There is unfinished business there even if they won't admit it. That segment with that young girl in the audience was adorable...he is so going to be the next Bachelor...

I think I would like to see more of him... he would be a great next bachelor.

[FanOfUnrealTV]

Ed: "Hey, honey, why did Reid bring up the fantasy suite?"
Jillian: .....sputter, sputter......

[Nova14]

If he wants to be next bachelor I think he'll definitely get the gig.

The girl asking for a date was so cute.
