Can I breathe easier now that Wes is gone?! Yes. Is the Bachelorette and ABC still pushing the envelope (literally) with the Fantasy Suites and the TMI?! YES!
So we head to beautiful island of Hawaii, from Spain, and 3 more amazing dates. First up, Kiptyn. Is it me or is she torturing him with adventure? Okay the guy has endurance and can take a leap of faith, but is he willing to use the L word with Jillian?! Though the guy may have an impatient side, he does say that he's falling in love with Jillian, and is excited by the second chance at the Fantasy Suite with her. What a difference a week makes. Suddenly she's ready to jump in the sack, er….suite and well see if that connecting is there. Ahem.
Reid is still on Amor time and is telling Jillian he want's to make out at every chance he gets. I see the true feelings from Reid coming out whether Jillian does or not, true love honestly takes a little while for some people. Poor Reid feels rushed after such a stunning helicopter ride, Jillian is pressuring him to spill those emotions, "time is running OUWT!" I feel so sorry for the guy, is beating it out of him the way to start a life-long romance? I understand the time limits, but if it's truly there, it will happen. Despite getting all the feelings and words she requires, Jillian also accepted the Fantasy Suite card for her and Reid, and entered the bathtub of love with him.
Ed, or Richie, as we learn is his nickname also can't contain himself around Jillian. The couple is touching at every instant and the romantic connection seems to be there…doesn't it!? After a sail and some swimming, Ed surprises Jillian the best way by saying he's flown his parents out to meet her!! Ecstatic, Jill knows that this is the one thing that had been missing between the two of them! Apparently out of the loop some, Ed's dad confronts him with a "what the hell is going on here?" question and Ed follows up with "I salvaged my job."
With Jillian also boosting Ed up with all the "sexy guy" comments, we are led to believe that nothing can come between them. Ed even boasts, "I'm falling in love with you," exactly what she is wanting to hear. Accepting the Fantasy Suite, Jillian dons some massage oil and a very revealing top for what seems to be the start of a show meant for late night cable. A few minutes later, Ed and Jillian are disappointed at something gone wrong. All the commercials and previews suggest E.D., while Jillian suggests "sunburn and being tired," but something was amiss in the Suite.
I feel embarrassed for Ed and how this show is making him look. At the rose ceremony, Jill needs one last pep talk with Ed. Is this problem a one-time-oopsy or can we overcome it and call it nerves? Ed reassures her he can be the man for her and after choosing Kiptyn, she finally says Ed's name at the end for the second rose.
Reid is heartbroken but is taking the blame for her choice. He couldn't feel or say what she wanted him to, fast enough. She is clearly torn and Reid sees it. In the Limo, Reid says, "now I can say I'm falling love with her!!" REID!!! I'm banking on one thing for next week, spoilers say that Jillian is struck by a shocking confession….maybe Reid comes back to tell her his true feelings?! A girl can hope.
So, tell me what you think!

I think she is just working at a speed that is way too fast (for anyone.) I appreciated Reid's honesty, but I did not see any chemistry in the bathtub; it looked too much like what it was; two near-strangers in a tub together. I'm just going to say it; I think Ed is a weirdo, a cute one at that, but there is just something odd about him, and did you see how far apart his parents sat on the couch? Not exactly looking like a model of intimacy there, either. Kiptyn's the only one I hold out any hope for, but I just think this season is going to be another wash in the long run.
Thanks for filling me in!!! I haven't seen this bachelorette, but feel that I understand all the players thanks to your update!! Bummer too… sounds so interesting. And juicy!
I am breathing easier since Wes is gone too.
I was afraid that ABC was going to let her take him all the way.
I was feeling kinda sorry for poor Reid.
They barely know each other and she is looking for commitment and I love you's.
What was up with the helicopter pilot announcing he was an ordained minister?
If I were Reid, I might have jumped out. Yikes!
I think there was a connection…it was just going to take longer than this season was going to last.
Jillian has placed Kiptyn on a pedestal so high she may never reach him.
She thinks he is perfect.
Sure hope he is and he stays that way because look at her other option.
Ed.
I was on team Ed for a while.
But then he got all weird and left.
And since he has been back he is weirder.
Did you see his bathing suit?
Did he mean to wear one that short or did he throw it in the dryer by accident?
Why did he bring his parents to meet Jillian?
Quite frankly his Dad scared me a bit.
I think I liked him better before I saw where he came from.
He doesn't seem as into her as she is him.
That is all I have to say about that.
I don't know who she should choose, and I agree, this season will be another wash. The true connection really doesn't seem to be there this year. I used to like Ed too, but now? I don't know. I was surprised they had "issues" in the bedroom – they looked pretty hot and steamy to me!
Sometimes I tweet stuff and then I totally forget to come back to twitter and then I miss responses. SO, I'm finally catching up today
The usual craziness from abc totally cracked me up. But I do have to say that I used to like Ed a lot! I wanted it to be him from the beginning. Then this time, I was a bit confused by how I was more interested in her and Reid, or her and Kiptyn than him. I don't even really know why. I guess something just seems off between them.
Reid just seemed a little careful to me. I ended up really liking him, maybe even best.
I'm so fickle
