It's dramatic decision time for our Jillian on Bachelorette

By Lindsey Ward, http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/Today/Entertainment/2009/07/25/10256461-sun.html

Roses are red, violets are blue -- is Jill really ready to say "I do?"

As it turns out, Canada's sweetheart -- Peace River, Alta.-bred Bachelorette star Jillian Harris -- isn't as intently focused on landing a rock on Monday's undoubtedly dramatic finale as one may think.

"I mean, let's be realistic," she says. "There is nobody in this world and nobody in the history of the show that I can say was, you know -- after this amount of time, and under these circumstances ready for a real life engagement."

Really, Jill? You mean, three months isn't a long enough period to fall in love with one of 30 men selected by ABC producers, accept their proposal, and attempt to start a life with them while living in separate cities and not even knowing what they like on their toast? Why, you might just be the most practical Reality TV contestant. Ever.

Yep, that's our girl. And in two more sleeps, we'll finally get to see who she chose -- Cali business developer Kiptyn, 31, or Michigan technology consultant Ed, 29. If previously eliminated Pennsylvania realtor Reid did return with a ring -- as the trailer for the two-hour showdown suggests -- we don't doubt she was an emotional mess.

The bachelorette Recap: Men Tell All

'The Bachelorette' episode 10: Some men tell all, others don't show up

by Kristen Baldwin http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/07/the-bachelorette-episode-10-some-men-tell-all-others-dont-show-up.html

I'm going to be honest, Bachelorette fans -- I think these reunion specials are a waste of time. And this is coming from someone who has Big Brother season passed on her DVR. Once Jillian sends someone packing, they are wiped clean from my memory (with the possible exception of Michael the bartender). That makes it all the harder to enjoy this two-hour trip down filler memory lane. At least tonight's Men Tell All special had some drama; it was steeped in rejected bachelor anger -- and not just from Dave the Rageaholic. Whether they were pig-piling on Jake for being "perfect" or taking Juan to task for shot-gate, these boys were pissed and they wanted everyone to know it.

WES IS STILL BEING INTERVIEWED FOR SOME REASON

EXCLUSIVE: Booted "Bachelorette" contestant Wes Hayden says he's not a two-timing villian

by delaina Dixon, http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/07/14/2009-07-14_exclusive_booted_bachelorette_contestant_wes_hayden_says_hes_not_a_two_timing_vi.htmlDAILY

ABC

Wes Hayden looked like he used his time on "The Bachelorette" to promote his band, but the country crooner says that's not true.

Booted "Bachelorette" suitor Wes Hayden wants the world to know he's not the two-timing villian who was out to dupe Jillian Harris this season on the reality dating series.

"People are saying things and they don't evern know me," the country crooner exclusively tells the Daily News. "It's hurtful that they have a perception that isn't true."

Accused of everything from coming on the show to promote his band to having a girlfriend back home, the country singer's own words seemed to support his dastardly agenda.

But the Houston, Tex. native says blame it on post-production.

"They edited and clipped me. They were basically creating a character from the beginning," says Wes, who explains his sister was the one who actually sent in his name to be considered for the show.

BACHELORETTE RUMORS

Spoilers for ‘The Bachelorette’ Finale? Rumors are Running Rampant

By Germain Lussier, http://www.twirlit.com/2009/07/14/spoilers-for-the-bachelorette-finale-rumors-are-running-rampant/

Well the answer will be revealed in two weeks. Monday’s episode narrowed the competition down to two eligible bachelors but before the final rose is given, ABC will air a “Men Tell All” episode and then, in two weeks, will be the finale.

However, unnamed sources - which are almost always wrong, so take this with a grain of salt - are spilling “Bachelorette” spoilers all over the Internet.

The rumors are as follows and, if you watch the show, you might want to run away right now

Apparently Jillian picks Ed, who then proposes, but Reid, who was voted out on Monday, comes back and professes his love for Jillian. She then has to choose and sticks with Ed.

Is this true? Who knows. In a world of instant information where a single post on Twitter can ruin a person’s life, anyone is bound to let some crucial information slip. It happens on shows like “Survivor” all the time. There are just too many people behind the scenes, answering phones, making coffee and more who are privy to this information than can hold in the secrets.

So even though these rumors are being published by minor sites like ThinkFashion and The Hollywood Gossip, they might totally be true.

Bachelorette Finale

The Bachelorette Finale Spoilers Shock Fans!

by Bella, http://www.thinkfashion.com/blogs/stylosity_hollywood_hookup/archive/2009/07/14/the-bachelorette-finale-spoilers-shock-fans.aspx

Last night's episode of The Bachelorette revealed the final two men who will competing for Jillian Harris in the finale. Ed and Kiptyn, who are polar opposites in our opinion, will each have a chance to meet Jillian's parents and possibly propose to her in the end.

And while the fate of the two remaining contestants would appear to be unknown, finale spoilers released today seem to provide answers to all of the questions loyal viewers have been asking.

First of all, the answer to the question "Who will Jillian Harris Pick in the End" seems to be Ed. Disappointingly enough, Jill will send Kiptyn home brokenhearted and choose Ed in the hopes of a proposal. Ed will propose to Jillian and Jillian will say yes. They will live happily ever after - or for at least a few months.

Here's the twist: It also appears that last night's reject, Reid, who was a favorite to win, will come back to reveal his love for Jillian. This is the shocking confession that ABC has indicated in its promos. Will Jillian change her mind like Jason Mesnick? Sources reveal no. She will stick with Ed (disappointing, we know).

BACHELORETTE FINALE THOUGHTS

'Bachelorette' recap: So … Ed proposes, eh?

By Gina Carbone, http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20090713-ENTERTAIN-90713028

This is like one of those word problems in high school — "If Train A is traveling west at 80 mph and Train B …"

If the rumors are true, Kiptyn Locke has already been chosen as the next "Bachelor."

Related Stories

• Wes Hayden 'used' and 'betrayed' by 'Bachelorette' producers
• 'Bachelorette': Kiptyn picked over Jake for ‘Bachelor’? Ed has girlfriend?
• ‘Bachelorette' recap: ‘Numero uno' Wes returns to girlfriend and 'lots of sex'

If that's true, then Ed Swiderski is the "winner" of "The Bachelorette," making good on his Monday night promise to propose if he's chosen in the end.

(Sidenote: That's half the battle. Jillian Harris just wants to get married to someone who wants to marry her. She's sort of in puppy love with everyone in the room, including, probably the camera guys.)

Then again, if A and B are true … is rumor C true, about Ed having a girlfriend back in Chicago? That's a shaky rumor, but everything on this show is so sketchy to begin with, I'm willing to believe anything. Then distrust it immediately afterward.

I've already decided this "unexpected confession" that happens two weeks from now (after The Men Tell All) is Jillian's "Honey Bear," Reid Rosenthal, returning to finally say he loves her.

Too late!

I wanted Reid in the end. She seemed most comfortable and natural with him. Her main problem seemed to be that he recognized a couple of months with a person was too short a time to lay it all out on the line. That's sanity.

Ed, on the other hand, just skates through this show like it's all a game. I think Reid didn't say the words Ed (or is it Richie?) did because Reid actually took them seriously.

Ed was part of the group that showed up "late" on the first episode. He left Jillian for work. He came back and seemed unenthusiastic about it. When he and Jill are talking – not making out, just talking – he tends to look away a lot. He felt pressure during the fantasy suite date (could it have been THE CAMERAS??) and Jill wasn't feeling the passion.

He will probably put his work before her and continue to check his work e-mails at 9 p.m., which Jill will not be able to take, especially now that she's gotten so used to the attention.

But I don't think Kiptyn is right for her either. He's so clinical — from his "thank you" last week at the rose ceremony, to this week's "good luck."

When last we saw Jillian Harris, she was in Spain, ostentatiously turning down four overnight dates. Tonight, we'll see Jillian accept three overnight dates. Confused, anyone?

She's in Maui, land of crashing surf and literal long walks on the beach -- which she's doing in a bikini while she muses about her special guys in voiceover. She's thinking about a proposal constantly, she says. She draws a heart in the sand that says "J + ?", which I'm pretty sure she didn't think up spontaneously.

First up is Kyptin. There's 10 percent of him she's still uneasy about, she tells the camera. She squeals with delight as she hugs the other 90 percent. They head to a golf cart, which Jillian drives -- a good idea given his scooter performance last week -- to a platform in the middle of nowhere that leads to a "ropes tour." What's that, you might well ask. I'll tell you the second I find out.
