At least Wes didn't come back too!

Considering all that came before, was it surprising that the proceedings leading up to tonight's proposal lacked a certain gravitas?

On Monday's finale of The Bachelorette, the bullet-dodging Jillian Harris had to choose between the gone-yesterday, here-today Ed Swiderski and Kiptyn "I don't want to lose" Locke.

After meeting Jillian's family in Hawaii and spending one last night with the object of their increasingly believable affection, Ed and Kip both picked out engagement rings (we liked Kip's 3-karat sparkler best) and formulated what they wanted to say to the 29-year-old interior designer.

The Men Tell All: "The Man Code"

Liveblogging “The Bachelorette”!

Tonight! The! Men! Tell! ALL! Will Cowboy Wes be there? Will he and Pilot Jake brawl? Will the Angry Meathead try and start more crap with Hola Juan? You guys, I am so excited to see those old faces! Tear.

8:00 Regarding last week’s rose ceremony dress—I saw something similar at Club Monaco. Wonder if she wore a different version… Oooh, do you guys think we’re gonna find out who the next “Bachelor” is. Also, seems like Angry Dave is still in DENIAL about Jillian not liking him. Oh, also, Papa Bach and Molly are back to whine! Haha, Wes’ name resulted in boos from the audience.

8:03 Jillian says she doesn’t care at all about Tanner’s foot fetish and if the worst thing she had to deal with in someone is them wanting to suck her toes, she wouldn’t care. I think that’s pretty awesome, even though it would gross me out. Jillian obviously can’t stand Angry Dave and says he was disrespectful and that hopefully he’ll see that. Fat chance. So Ed—I think the way they’re talking about him is making it seeeeem like Jillian has a big ol’ thing for him, but I think he’s too obvious a winner.

8:07 Yeah, Jillian, what DID you see in Wes? I think he fit what she wanted on paper and she ignored the red flags, though Jillian says that she didn’t see any of them, since only the viewers did. She says it’s clear now that Wes came on the show to sell CDs, though she seems less sure as to whether he had a full-on girlfriend while he was on the show. Regardless, she sees his true colors now. ABOUT TIME. I think it’s pretty obvious that Reid is the one who comes back next week to propose, right?

8:13 Unseen footage! Relationship advice from a Harlem Globetrotter! Who liked Angry Dave. Guess their advice sucks. Another piece of unseen footage—Ed seeming a lil’ drunk? And non-communicative? But apparently the happiest, funniest drunk ever! Which I am not necessarily seeing. Perhaps messiest? More unseen footage—snowball fight with Mike and Mark? Meh, I’m bored. Except Mark hit Jillian in the head with a snowball. And then he got eliminated? Coincidence? I think not. And it seems that Robby’s exit was more humiliating than we realized—it took an HOUR to get the whole thing accomplished.

Reid is a no-show on The Bachelorette

The Bachelorette: Realtor Reid might just return

Reid Rosenthal, the bachelor sent home by Jillian Harris in the penultimate episode of The Bachelorette last week, has sparked speculation that he might be returning — in a season suspiciously full of "surprise" returns.

First it was Ed Swiderski, who returned to the show after recusing himself early on owing to work pressures but captured Jillian's heart by making up for lost time in Spain.

Then it was Jake Pavelka, spurned by Jillian one week only to return the next to tattle on his bachelor nemesis, Wes "Hate 'im" Hayden, purported to have a girlfriend — a rumour roundly denied by Wes and the woman in question.

Now comes word that Reid, a fan favourite for his sense of humour and easy chemistry with Jillian, didn't participate in the "Bachelors Tell All" episode airing this Monday. He wasn't the only one: Wes, who's publicly complained of his treatment at the hands of The Bachelorette's editors, also skipped the appearance.

It's bad news for ABC's potential ratings this week, as any fan will tell you that most of the other candidates for Jillian's affections have already been consigned to that part of the brain reserved for complex math equations.

But it does raise questions, as Bachelor/ette tradition dictates that all but the final two contestants get to have their say on the "tell-all" episode.
