THE BACHELORETTE FINALE SHOWDOWN! SNEAK PEEK!

http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/07/76748/

On Monday night's "The Bachelorette," Jillian Harris has run out of time. She will have to chose between two men: Ed, a 29-year-old technology consultant from Chicago, IL., and Kiptyn, a 31-year-old business developer from Encinitas, CA.

When Jillian began her journey as "The Bachelorette," she made it clear that she is looking for a man with a sense of humor, who is honest and compassionate, who loves the outdoors and who is close to his family.

Interview with Jillian Harris, the Bachelorette

by Page Wiser, http://blogs.suntimes.com/tv/2009/07/interview_with_jillian_harris.html

Just finished a conference call with Jillian, God bless her. She could probably use a nice extended breakdown about now.

My mom: "Ask her how much she weighs. She's so tiny!"

I did not. But here were the highlights:

*OK, this is a shocker. Jillian has already downloaded Wes's lame song, "It Don't Come Easy." In fact, she's downloaded the whole CD. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS ANYONE ELSE TO DO THIS.

*She says she was only full-out drunk three times -- for the first rose ceremony, the second rose ceremony, and the snowmobiling date. But there was a lot of drinking, and she never got a day off. Her big hangover cure? "Coconut water. It's like drinking 10 Gatorades, with no sugar."

*Jillian's recommended toenail polishes: Revlon's Make Mine Mango ("Tanner really loved that color"), and My Chihuahua Bites by OPI.

*For her dream wedding, she would have red and white gingham tablecloths, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and her Aunt Becky's cabbage rolls.

*In trying to keep the guys straight, Jillian called Jesse "Josh." Twice.

Trista's blog: Men Tell All

Trista Sutter Blogs About The Bachelorette: David the Belligerent Jackass

I can hardly believe we've already reached the always crazy "The Men Tell All" special. I guess I should know how time flies, though, with two kiddos under 2 years old! Here's my take on some of the highlights...

Here are some of the best (and worst) quotes and moments from the bantering boys:

• Sasha's description of Jake, saying he's probably had the same haircut since he was 6 years old.
• David: "As far as I'm concerned, that's as bad as it gets," referring to Tanner telling Jillian someone had a girlfriend. So let me get this straight. You think that coming onto the show with a girlfriend is better? Tanner's just the messenger, though I still don't think he was right to put it out there and not follow through.
• David saying that Juan should "go drown himself." And everyone thought my "filth of the earth" comment about Wes was bad!
• Tanner F. saying that Jake "pulled a Mesnick," which is when a grown man leans over a railing and cries, aka Jason Mesnick. Genius.
• David saying that the problem he had with Juan was that he wouldn't drink with the rest of the guys all day. Why is that cool? Why does that make you a man? Maybe downing beers all day with the dudes in your frat house was cool back in college, but life after you graduate should mean more than throwing back a few cold ones—especially when you are trying to focus on finding love.
• I had been looking forward to seeing Jesse, but the hair lip has got to go!
• Chris pointing out that being on the Bachelorette is a true violation of David's warped man code and then backing up Juan saying that he has no obligation to explain himself to David for not doing a shot. "Who gives a crap" is right! Thank you, Mr. Harrison!
• Tanner P. explaining that Wes winked at him that he had a girl back home and David saying "everyone has a girl back home." First, finally glad to hear where Tanner heard Wes had a girlfriend. Second, seriously, David? Did you not learn anything about how horrid your words and actions look to America when you watched yourself this season? Doesn't seem like change is in your near future, although I had hopes.

A teary finale with an unexpected confession will cap the finale of The Bachelorette in one week's time. More than six million people across North America will tune in on July 27 as Vancouver's reality TV star, Jillian Harris, will select her future husband-to-be.

Will it be Ed, the 29-year-old technology consultant? Or Kiptyn, the 31-year-old business developer? Jillian, a 29-year-old interior designer, confesses she's falling in love with both men. Next week, both Ed and Kiptyn lay it on the line. But an unexpected confession makes her question everything.

On tonight's episode (July 20), the chatterbox brunette came face-to-face with the 13 men she's rejected in previous weeks. However, there were disappointing no-shows from bad boy country singer Wes and the lovable Reid, who was voted off last week. The unlucky 13 confronted Jake about his decision to tell Jillian that Wes had a girlfriend, but Jake received huge support from the female-filled live audience.
