Thanks! Sounds like it could have been written by a number of us, lol.

B - texting girls while filming, including clearly trying to get out of the show to get back to Lyndsey, hooking up with them while home

She says she only cares about what happened after they got engaged, but I just don't get how she can be OK with the above lies, because it makes everything else a scam, everything he said relating to the whole leave & come back, etc, just lies, lies, lies, including what he told her parents, including what he said in interviews prior to Edgate coming out

I don't get how half of America can get it and she can't.

CH loves to talk out of both sides of his mouth, doesn't he? Maybe if the show didn't keep on hand minimal food yet maximum alcohol, and have the cameras mainly follow those who are perhaps over-drinking (per one of "Jillian's guys"), some of this over-the-top stuff wouldn't have happened? I'm not defending Dave, but am just criticizing the show and CH.

I wonder who CH thinks he's fooling? Someone earlier posted something else about things he said in the media, and I meant to respond. Bottom line is that I believe very, very little of what CH says (on the show, his blog, and interviews) and have zero respect for him.

It's probably Ed and Lindsey dancing/kissing/hanging out at the wedding. Clearly Jillian doesn't care about any or all of this so it's just going to hurt her more imo.

It's inevitable that someone from the wedding will put forward some video that includes Ed and Lindsey together. Even if it is before the time that Jillian is marking as the start of their relationship, I think it would be interesting to see his behavior with someone other than Jillian. This is at a time when she says she was crazy with longing for him...it would be interesting for her to see what he was crazy with during that time.

Yes, I read that, too (about the first 25), but then they added 5 more men (supposedly when Melissa turned down the show and then Jillian accepted). But those 5 were all Americans, too. Also, I reiterate that Jillian said several times that she wanted to go live "for a while" with whomever was chosen. "For a while" might mean "long enough to gain citizenship".

Maybe everything was rushed since TPTB had to switch to Jillian after casting was well underway, but my opinion is that Jillian was either looking for an American man to marry, or a career in the American entertainment industry, or both.

I read this morning that Kiptyn said no to the Bachelor until he heard it was Jillian, so there goes the theory that the first 25 were there for Melissa... just sayin'......

That's a good point. We know he's very sweet and affectionate with Jill so let's see how he is with other women or if that's a uniquely Jillian thing for him.

Because America doesn't have all of the facts, doesn't know her, doesn't know Ed, and doesn't know their truth.

And maybe Kip was more interested in Jillian than we thought, was that in an article or posted by a Kip fan

Meanwhile I was just checking around US Weekly web site to see if they have any foreshadowing of anything more to come.

They put up this up just this afternoon

Should Jillian Harris stay with her Bachelorette winner fiance Ed Swiderski?

It is not a poll but a place to leave your comments. I don't see anything else so far.
