---

"The Bachelorette" host chipped in important information regarding the allegation that Ed Swiderski was hitting on two girls after getting engaged to Jillian Harris. Chris Harrison revealed that Lindsey Johnson and Bethany Steffen took money from what they said about an affair with Ed.

"The problem is the two girls cashed in and took a paycheck for the story in Us, so, they kind of sold out, which is unfortunate. They sold out at the expense of Ed and Jillian," Harrison revealed to ET. Johnson and Steffen claimed in an interview with Us Weekly that they slept with Swiderski just a few days after the season finale in July.

Jason and Molly Return to Offer an Update on Their Relationship

The Bachelors Vent About Wes, Jake and David

"The Men Tell All" -- It's an explosive reunion viewers won't want to miss, as the most memorable bachelors from this season - including Jake, Michael, Tanner, Jesse and David. -- return to confront each other and Jillian one last time on national television to dish the dirt and tell their side of the story. And last season's happy couple, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, return to update us on their lives together, on "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All," Monday, July 20 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Jillian and several of the bachelors will be put on the hot seat for a revealing question and answer session with Chris Harrison, and they let us in on some of the most outrageous and funny "seen" and "unseen" moments of the seasons.

And it's the first time we have heard from Jason and Molly since the dramatic events of last season, when Jason broke off his engagement to Melissa Rycroft for a chance to be with Molly. The couple are back to let us know if it was all worthwhile. The bachelors - reunited for the first time since they left the show - hold nothing back! They challenge Jake about his decision to return to warn Jillian that Wes has a girlfriend. And things heat up when David faces off with Juan about their relationship on the show. It's no surprise that David isn't shy about telling Juan what he thinks of him, explaining that he broke the sacred "man code."

Wes, one of the most controversial bachelors this season, could not be in the studio, but that didn't stop the other men from offering their outrageous opinions of him. As they argue both sides of the story - whether Wes was there for his career or not - one bachelor shares a shocking secret that Wes confided in him and the arguments escalate from there. There also will be a musical tribute to Wes, set to his song for Jillian, "Love Don't Come Easy.

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).

WILL REID RETURN AND PROPOSE?

The Bachelorette: Reid's Ship Has Sailed

Last night's Bachelorette was not the most emotional episode ever but it did excite me for several reasons: All dates led to the fantasy suit where one man couldn't get his soldier up, and in the end, Jillian finally chose Kiptyn and Ed as her final two suitors before sending home yet another bachelor. It was tough to watch Reid leave since he was a pretty decent guy to begin with and he actually made her laugh ---something Jillian is looking for in someone she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Unfortunately, Reid fell short of Jillian's expectations.

In this episode of The Bachelorette, Jillian continues her efforts to answer the question, How many rose-petal trails must a girl walk down before she finds The One? She takes the three remaining bachelors to Maui, where they will share romantic dates and have the opportunity to get to know each other better in the Fantasy Suite.

After a recap of the dates in Spain, the show opens with Jillian walking along the beach and out into the ocean in a beautiful Hawaiian landscape. She stops to draw a heart in the sand with “J + ?” in it, except the ? may have been a “W” before it was edited. She tells us how excited she is by the idea of a proposal, an engagement, and a fiancé and hopes someone up there, pointing to the Hawaiian sky, or in here, pointing to her chest, will tell her which of the three amazing men to choose. To be fair, Jillian has so far avoided overuse of “amazing” and “connection,” but we’re getting near the end now, and it’s time to step up the Bachelor-speak.

The Bachelorette Recap (Episode 9): Three Men and a Babe -- "Eeeeeeee!"

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.

FAILURE TO LAUNCH FOR ED AND JILLIAN

'The Bachelorette' recap: Failure to Launch

Despite her best efforts, Jillian can't get a rise out of Ed, but it's Reid who pays the ultimate price on the island of Maui

by Kristen Baldwin, http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20291100,00.html

Aloha, Bachelorette lovers! This week's episode confirmed that poor Jillian is reality TV's answer to Job. She's been lied to, abandoned, had her feet molested by a P(ervert) — and now, she's been rejected by a suitor's penis. But much like that aforementioned Biblical figure, Jillian continues to bear the suffering with a truly astounding resilience.

Perhaps the change of scenery has buoyed her spirits. Now that she and the three remaining bachelors have moved on to Maui, marriage is on her mind ''constantly... I'm hoping that someone up there, or someone in here [gestures to heart] will tell me what decision I'm supposed to make.'' Bad news, honey: God is too concerned about who's getting the next HOH on Big Brother to bother with your problems, so you'll have to rely on the little Canadian inside your rib cage to help you figure it out.

Dolphin squeal! It's date time, and there's Kipper waiting for her on the other side of a suspension bridge. Once again Jillian's planned a date that involves dangling high above the ground: they're doing a ropes course, a decision that the Bachelorette quickly seems to regret. She needs constant encouragement from Kiptyn — which she gets by repeatedly demanding that he kiss her — before she can complete any portion of the course. The final leg of their adventure is called the ''Leap of Faith'' (sorry, Team Bachelorette, but that's a little too on-the-nose). It involves jumping off a ''totem pole,'' as Jillian insists on calling it, and trying to grab a trapeze several feet away. As whiny as she gets (''Can you promise you'll give me a big kiss when you get to the bottom?''), Jillian still manages to make the leap — and though she misses the trapeze by about 15 feet, I've got to say I'm impressed. No way in hell I would have even gotten up on the pole.

ED COULDN'T PERFORM

'The Bachelorette' recap: SPOILERS AHEAD

By Paige Wiser, http://blogs.suntimes.com/tv/2009/07/the_bachelorette_recap_spoiler.html

Chicago's Ed Swiderski is one of the last two men standing on "The Bachelorette," but there have been "bumps in the road," as he puts it, to everlasting bliss with Jillian Harris.

Last night's episode was nothing short of a gaping pothole.

After Ed salvaged his job at Microsoft and worked his way back onto the show, he made up for lost time by flying his parents in to meet Jillian in Hawaii. It would be hard not to love them; "What the hell are we doing here?" asked his father, a rare voice of reason.

"I swear that I would get engaged if she picked me," Ed told him. "Honestly. I just have to pull the trigger." Afterward, Ed and Jillian retired to the "fantasy suite" to have "some intimate, cozy, sexy time," said Jillian. The lights went out . . . and then the lights went back on again. That doesn't usually happen.

It's hard to say exactly what the problem was. Ed explained, "I was very nervous, and uh, it just didn't happen. ... I couldn't show her that I really truly am in love with her."
