The Bachelorette series finale settles the most important question facing the planet at the moment: will Vancouver chatterbox Jillian Harris choose Ed, the 29-year-old technology consultant or Kiptyn, the 31-year-old business developer?

Last week's episode saw Harris came face-to-face with the men she's rejected and kicked off the show in previous weeks.

This week, she'll choose her "true love" from the final two men left out of a pack of 13 hound-dogs that were willing to shamelessly compete for her affections on front of a national TV audience.

The two-hour season finale of The Bachelorette, which airs this Monday, July 27 on ABC, will take place on Hawaii's Big Island, the largest of all of the main Hawaiian Islands and home to Maunakea, the world's tallest mountain. The previous episode, which was shot on location in Maui, got a great response for the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau with people expressing an interest on planning future trips to Hawaii.

Jillian Harris' love life

Canada's bachelorette launches design company, but focused on love life

By Cassandra Szklarski, http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5il3x88w4vCiq11WkEmopG7syq7Kg

TORONTO — The Canadian star of "The Bachelorette" says she's started her own interior design company and would be open to hosting a design show if the opportunity arises.

But Jillian Harris says career plans are taking a backseat to her love life these days, refusing to say whether she's come out of the sensational dating show with an engagement or not.

So far, viewers only know that Harris whittled down a pool of 30 suitors to just two men ahead of Monday's finale. They include the sweet-natured Ed from Chicago and the charming Kiptyn from Encinitas, Calif.

In a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Harris refused to say who she chooses nor would she comment on rampant online talk that third-place Reid makes a surprise appearance in a last-ditch effort to win her over.

"It is an exciting episode and it was a crazy day," was all Harris would say by phone from a Los Angeles hotel. "It's all very dramatic."

Suffice it to say that Harris, who hails from Peace River, Alta., insists she's very happy and has no regrets about the controversial choices she made along the way.

That includes her decision to keep country singer Wes in the running even after she was told he boasted behind-the-scenes about having a girlfriend and said he was on the show to promote his music.

Fans have been quick to vilify the dark-haired crooner, who made it to the Top Four and was kicked off after a stilted dinner date with Harris in Spain.

Had she known more at the time, Harris admits she may have kicked Wes off the show earlier, but said she still thinks highly enough of him to want to know how he's weathered a firestorm of viewer vitriol.

"I'd love to check in with Wes and just see how he's doing with all of this chaos," says Harris. "He's still somebody that I do respect as an individual, whether or not people think he deserves that, I do."

Kiptyn for Next Bachelor?

The Bachelorette: Kiptyn's a Locke for next Bachelor role

By Gillian Burnett, http://www.theprovince.com/Bachelorette+Kiptyn+Locke+next+Bachelor+role/1812381/story.html

Jillian Harris narrowed the field to two on the most recent episode of The Bachelorette.

It's official: Kiptyn Locke has a lock on the starring role in the next Bachelor series. How do I know? On Monday night's "The Men Tell All" episode — from which the most interesting men, Wes and Reid, were conspicuously absent — Kiptyn was elevated to sainthood.

That's right: While bachelor Ed Swiderski, Kiptyn's official competition in next week's final showdown for Jillian Harris's heart, was shown stumblingly drunk and, um, passing gas at one of the rose ceremonies, Kiptyn was shown passing words of wisdom on to kids at his hometown charity, where everyone cried a little over his unique ability to make a difference.

Previously unseen footage of Ed — whose good looks and straightforward, seemingly mature approach have won him a host of fans — showed Jillian trying to have a Serious Conversation with him at an early stage of the competition. Ed appears to listen hard, then says blearily, "That's a lot of words that you just threw at me," while Jillian laughs indulgently.

Then we see Ed doing a little drunken dance for Jillian in a hotel hallway, while she helps prop the more-than-six-foot man up. "Ed is the happiest, funniest drunk I've ever met in my whole life," she later enthuses. Only Jillian could see the silver lining in this wine-soaked cloud.

Men Tell All: What you didn't see

by Carrie Bell, http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/07/21/bachelorettes-men-tell-all-what-you-didnt-see/

As promised, the ‘Men Tell All’ special was explosive (and not just because the flatulence in the blooper reel). But even with an expanded two-hour show, plenty of action was trimmed from the episode. PEOPLE attended the July 11 taping to bring you the best of the rest and catch up with the season’s favorite suitors.

Here is what you didn't see!
