(TiVo says:) The final three men join Jillian in Hawaii; while cruising a beautiful cove, one of the bachelors has a surprise for Jillian to convince her of his feelings; one of the men is sent home after a tearful rose ceremony.

Who wears short shorts...


Ed wears short shorts...

Oh dear god. Between the short shorts and the mank top (man tank top), just no.

[sistersledge]

I thought Reid seemed pretty relieved.

[caramel92]

Reid wanted to date her. She wanted to get married. Slightly different levels of commitment, lol

[troubleinmind]

Jillian, if you need words and promises after such a short time and can't respect that someone wants to take things realistically, then you are not right for Reid. He seemed like the only real person there to me.

Jill seemed so pushy with Reid when he was so obviously, affectionate and loving with her.
Their dates seemed so natural and romantic. All this talk about not being able to take
their eyes off one another. She must be a very literal gal if she needs "the words". Words come cheap. Glibness does not equal true love.

If she does need words, then she can have Ed, because he couldn't even follow through
physically so he can talk to her instead. He's good at that. Personally, he creeps me out.

And, I like Kip, but she doesn't seem right for him, either.

Good luck with Ed, Jill. I do not see it lasting before he's back to work or too tired/dispassionate to get it up again.
You and Ed really deserve one another.

I still see nothing interesting between the two and am bored to tears when they talk.

Reid, you will find the right person, no doubt. You're gorgeous, cuddly, funny, witty,
smart and, most importantly, honest.

ETA: Honeybear, awww. Consider yourself lucky, Reid and best of luck!

I'm just swallowing the last bits of vomit that appeared in my mouth when Jason and Molly showed up on my screen.

WTF was up with Ed's suit? His pants were too baggy and he looked like an Easter egg.

[winebox]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crap, why even watch this travesty anymore. I am so pissed off and bummed about Reid being let go. Why would she keep ED Ed aka RICHIE???

Screw it, they'll be broken up in 2 months anyway, whoever she picks, and I'm guessing ED Ed. Such a disappointment.

[24addict]

Reid actually seemed the most genuine, honest, and that seemed like a more realistic relationship, given the short time period the bachelorette and her bachelors spend with each other. Sorry to see it, but glad Reid didn't just tell her what she wanted to hear.

So what do we think happened (or didn't happen) in Ed's fantasy suite? That dialogue all seemed very carefully worded...

I haven't watched much of this season, but I caught the last part of that, and oh gosh that was a sad goodbye! The forehead touching, and then when she was crying on the bench by herself? The way she turned her head one way to be faced with a camera, then turned her head away only to be faced with another camera. I know this is a reality show, but ouch. Nowhere to hide and not a tissue in sight. Ooof. That was what wanted to be throw-yourself-face-down-on-the-bed-and-sob-in-your-room crying. Or at least shut-yourself-up-in-a-bathroom-stall crying. But alas, no place to hide. Poor little Jilly.

[mamiesan]

It was Ed with ED! So when he couldn't seal the deal did Jillian run out into the hall and invite the photographers back in?

And keeping with Ed, what was the deal with his Tom Selleck circa 1982 trunks? Blech.

Jill is a fool for getting rid of Reid. She just wants someone who will kiss her ass and say what she wants to hear whether it's the truth or not.

[Flabbergasted]

Did they really go there with the sex stuff??

That was just waayyyy too much and I can't believe Ed put himself out there like that, I think he was freaked out by the cameras, as any sane human being would be, obviously they never left, unless Jillian hollered for them to come back in. I mean the dude can barely look her in the eye with the camera there.

His dad was sooo cute, and I awwed when he teared up.


I heart Ed, and I always thought he was F1 but tonight I thought Reid would be it. I guess not.

[nyclovinggirl]

OMG I can't believe she let Reid go after the truly natural date they had. Why did she need his words when his actions spoke volumes!

Ed was creepy tonight moreso than he has ever been before. IF you didn't feel the physical intimacy just laying there with him then honey it's not going to be there when you do the dirty deed! Ed knows all the right things to say but he can't follow through.

The telltale sign she knew she made a mistake was when they were sitting on the bench and he finally said some of the things she wanted to hear. She deserves what she gets at this point because she let the most natural fit for her go.

Reid.. if I was single, and your age I'd be there for you in a flash! You have the whole package and some woman is going to be very blessed when you find her.

Jill.. disappointed doesn't even say what I need to say to you

[Chocolyric]

I liked Reid a lot, and Jillian/Reid were cute, but I never saw these huge fireworks. I've been saying that for about two weeks. lol. But yeah, I think Jillian pegged it right when she said that they were in two different places in their lives.

Something about Kiptyn doesn't sit right. Does anybody else feel that way? He seems to hold back a LOT, like he's rehearsed what he says to her. The whole dancing is my flaw and the stuff after it just didn't read sincere to me. I'm more likely to believe Ed, who fumbles with his words.

So yeah, physical-Kyptin, emotional-Ed. Her and Ed would make some beautiful kids with gorgeous eyes. Yeah, that's superficial :P, but I had to say it.

[VioletGirl]

Am I the only one that got a gay vibe from Ed tonight? The shorts?!?!?! That suit?!?!?! The lack of "interest" in a (shockingly) scantily clad Jillian practically throwing herself at him?!?!?

Poor Reid. What a gem. He's too good for Jillian, who clearly cares more about "winning" and getting a stupid engagement ring that will just lead to a broken engagement than she does about finding an honest and loving man.

Ed for the win. Yuck.

[comosedice]

It's like the show just lost all of its light. Jillian sees something in Ed that I just don't see. I thought her date with Kiptyn went well so I am not surprised he is still there, but my heart breaks for Reid. He lost to a man who couldn't respond to a very willing Jillian sexually. That right there tells me that Reid never had a chance.

[mharvey816]

Loved Ed's dad. And hey, nice that his parents got a trip to Hawaii as a result of his exit and reappearance on the show. I wonder who'll try "pulling an Ed" in future seasons? LOL

Jillian, if you need words and promises after such a short time and can't respect that someone wants to take things realistically, then you are not right for Reid. He seemed like the only real person there to me.

So Much Word.

Seriously - she picked the guy who couldn't/wouldn't respond to her sexually over the guy who wouldn't promise to propose at the end. Go fig.

Go away, Jason Mesnick.

[Beach Bum]

Well, if she really knew who F1 would be for last week +, I think it is Ed. I think she let Reid go because he was more into her, so now she has Kip as F2 (and maybe The Bachelor?).

I have to admit, that is not where I thought we'd end up with the "ED" story-line. I think he's really hung up on her, but as much the IDEA of her as anything. Like: ok, it's time to get married and she's the one. And now he's in over his head (thus the F/S issue?). Honestly, though, I think they BOTH had the issue. Like: they got back there and just wanted to cuddle and go to sleep, not stay up all night and have hot monkey sex. I can see that going either way, but if it's NOT what she experienced with the other guys, that's a big problem!

I thought the stuff after the credits, with Ed's bathing suit, was hilarious.

ETA: Molly and Jason, YUCK!! So sick of them -- and we haven't even seen them in months. I hope we don't have to see them for very long. Also LOVED not having Wes around -- it was nice to see the other guys for a change!

[Diana Berry]

I'm confused as to why we saw soooo much of the intimate stuff with Ed (massage,etc) but yet with Kipton they closed the door. If I were Ed, I would have just told the cameras to leave instead of having that much personal business shown on camera. Yikes. I know that I'm in the minority but I feel bad for the dude.

Honestly, when Ed comforted Jillian after booting Reid and then walked back to Kip. Kip looked like a second wheel, It was like "Oh yea, Kip is still here" LOL. I imagined they wanted to work on their relationship and walk off into the sunset leaving Kip on the beach.

[kakel]

Bummer. Of the guys, her relationship with Reid seemed the most natural, the least forced. They laughed together in a way that I hadn't seen with the others. It was easy. But, he wasn't willing to say "I love you" after six weeks and "I want to marry you" after six weeks so poof, he's a goner..

I really don't see it with Ed. I think she is physically attracted to him (as she kept repeating over and over tonight) but I don't see the friendship element. I don't see him being her best friend at all.. just someone she loves cause he's "tall, dark, and handsome"... however, I do like Ed and think he's a genuine guy and definitely deserves someone great.

Kiptyn.. forget it. He's not into her. Or maybe he is, a little bit - but there is absolutely no way that relationship would last in the real world. I can't see them together at all.

[bellalleb]

Ok, so my phone rang just as the Ed fantasy suite segment started. I missed the drama! Can someone please fill me in on what went down (apparently not 'up'?) in the suite??? So Curious!

Also, Ed is weird. I don't quite get him. Reid seems so genuine compared to the other two. I bet Kiptyn's just playing along because I think he wants to be the next Bachelor. A theory.

[lids]

Aww, I feel bad for Reid. I wonder if he comes back in 2 weeks to "say all the things he should have said." Probably not though.

I completely understand what Jillian is trying to do here. She asked Reid to try to express himself several times and he kept laughing about it. After awhile, it just stopped being funny. Also, you could tell it wasn't that he didn't know how he felt. He just didn't want to look like a tool and say it. He was calling her bluff and she checked him. Charm can only get him so far, you know?

Ed's outfits - ridiculous. Kiptyn - still doesn't like her.

It's been a fun ride though. Jillian should find herself some single friends because I don't see her ended up married. Hope I'm wrong.

[Coco79]

Oh, Jill. I can't believe you let Reid (aka Honeybear) go. That was one of the saddest and most tearful good-byes ever. I especially wanted to cry myself when their foreheads were touching. Oh, that was so sad. Reid is such a sweet, funny, earnest guy, and he totally showed Jillian how he felt about her!

I was squealing along with Jill when Ed said he'd flown out his parents to Hawaii to meet her. Awwww. The video message was also another "awww" moment for me (when he said he loved her). I did like that Ed came over to see how she was doing after she walked Reid out. That horrid white pastel suit's got to go, though.

[mrsolive]

Reid will definitely find someone much better.

I just can't imagine being Ed and having everyone know that he had/has ED. How do you ever live that down (or maybe in this case he doesn't have to : ) ) He just wasn't that into her.

I don't know but I thought his parents were sort of strange as if they knew something that she doesn't. I also thought Ed's dad was a little creepy. He seemed too sappy about it all, but I could be wrong.

[bbb]

There is not enough brain bleach in the world to wash away most of this episode. Between Ed dressing alternately as Magnum PI and Bruno, along with the fantasy suite bow-chicka-wow-wow massage sequence....just, ew.

"Hot Tub Harris" has now become "Hot Oil Harris."

[jlc1967]

I found Ed's inability to look Jillian in the eye during his "open my heart" speech very, very disconcerting.

I'm confused as to why we saw soooo much of the intimate stuff with Ed (massage,etc) but yet with Kipton they closed the door. If I were Ed, I would have just told the cameras to leave instead of having that much personal business shown on camera. Yikes.

I agree with this -- how do we know how intimate the couples are behind the door? I'd assume most of the time they just cuddle and doze off, because, God, they must be exhausted just being filmed all day. Why do we have to know that nothing happened with Jill and Ed, when (probably?) not much happened on the other dates either?

[sgupta4]

Wow, Ed with the ED!! I just about died laughing. I felt so bad for her. She's been wrapping her legs around all during their date. Now, he can't get it up.

With Reid, I thought she was going to take back Ed's rose when they were sitting on the bench with their heads touching.

[comosedice]

I imagined they wanted to work on their relationship and walk off into the sunset leaving Kip on the beach.

I must really suck at picking up cues because none of this translates for me. It's like she has latched unto Ed because he is her type (tall, olive-skinned, great eyes, career-driven) and nothing else matters. I have lost interest in the show, but I hope Kiptyn wins. He seems like a nice guy and there is some heat between them.

[missjones]

WTF.

So is Ed F1, and Kip F2?????? Kip says he could see a future with her, but it appears to me like he is reading lines off of a script.

Reid. You had me at Honeybear.

Ed? He seems even more shady now.

So many thoughts, so little time. I need to get my act together and come back to post something coherant.

[Tahitian Moon]

I was super-uncomfortable during Ed and Jilly's fantasy suite footage. I kept waiting for the camera to cut away and it never did. When she came out in that skimpy outfit, I thought surely now they'd pan away...but they never did. Poor Ed. How did the camera crew know that it was safe to come back in? Did Jillian call them back? or are their hidden cameras in the suite recording everything?
Kipton is a sweet guy, but he is not in love with her. They seem like they are "just kicking it". He didn't even comfort her at the end. I'm looking forward to the men tell all, but Jason and Molly can't leave my TV screen soon enough.
