If it is possible for a girl to be thinking with the wrong "thing", I think Jillian is doing just that. How else can you explain her extremely poor sense of judgment when it comes to Wes? I have to personally thank ABC for single handedly finding the biggest piece of work in the entire city and putting him on this show. For years, our fine city has been ranked as one of the best cities in the Country for singles. Now everyone is going to think that the reason we have so many singles is because the city is full of jerks like Wes. Where are all the good men? Maybe they are in Philly! Reid's hometown date in Philadelphia was a hit with Jillian. As she said, "He has a warmth about him". I definitely don't see him as the type of guy to deceive her. His family was very welcoming and seemed really surprised to see Reid so happy and affectionate. When he told his father that Jillian was definitely a girl he could fall in love with, Reid's dad told him to go into it "head over heels...that's the only way good things will happen." I think I've actually heard that advice before on previous episodes of The Bachelor/Bachelorette. Maybe our generation is becoming too conscious. Maybe that's why everyone is taking so much longer to settle down and this is their parent's way of trying to speed things up. They looked good together when they kissed. It was very believable. You can almost see the butterflies in Reid's stomach when she's around. I definitely think he'll be around for a while. Michael was the next to introduce Jillian to his family and his identical twin brother. Thank God his brother wasn't nearly as annoying as Michael. I don't think the world could handle two of them. He even tried to pull the old switch-a-roo on her. Thankfully, she caught on immediately. He gets so excited. He's like a little pop tart jumping up and down all the time. If I made my list of "negotiables and non-negotiables" ... Not acting like a chimpanzee on crack would be at the top of the list. But apparently, Jillian's only non-negotiable is finding someone who makes her laugh...at him, not with him. I do have to admit though, he seemed very sincere when he talked about her...it was pretty sweet. I think Jillian may have a hard time watching this show later on and seeing how much he truly cared about her. Kiptyn and Jillian met up on the beach. He is "that guy" that she's always dreamed of. Me too! Going up to Kiptyn's house was a bit overwhelming for her...she was feeling that she might not fit in with his family, but she relaxed the minute his family pointed out the caution tape surrounding the hot tub. I think she knew once they started poking fun at her and her infamous hot tub scene, that these people were okay. Nothing to be afraid of....except maybe his mother. I think she's nice, but the way she was lurking by the door, creeped me out a bit. But I don't think his mom or that caution tape is going to keep Jillian from getting her hands on Kiptyn. Don't call it a comeback! But to everyone's surprise, Ed came back to ask Jillian for another shot at love. As he explained to her, he couldn't stop thinking about her after he left the show and decided that he had made a huge mistake. He wanted her to know that he felt like they were perfect for each other. I think they are perfect for each other too. I even think they look alike. I heart Ed. I'm going to call him the comeback kid. I'm so happy he's back. I had him pegged in my top three from the beginning. I was so sure of it. My gut is never wrong! Come ride with me...come ride with me on my tractor. That's pretty much Jesse's idea of the ultimate in romantic dates. Don't get me wrong...the dude is hot and owns a winery...I'd ride a donkey with him if he wanted me to. You should always keep the guy that has alcohol readily available. His brother, Jacob, looked a lot like Jesse...just add hair...a lot of it. Jacob seemed really skeptical about this entire process, but I think Jesse really won him over when he expressed his true feelings toward Jillian. He almost won me over too until they broke out into that family jam session. This ain't the Partridge Family people! The Firestone's don't play the drums. Leave the musical stylings to Wes. He wants all the attention anyway, which was apparent on his hometown date in the good old city of Austin, that he seems desperate to give a bad name. Instead of taking Jillian to meet his family right away, he takes her to meet his band and give himself one more chance to sing that stupid song. But Jillian just stands there in her big red boots with a big grin on her face. She's totally clueless when it comes to Wes. He even said, "I've gotten myself so far into this that I feel like I'm stuck". Yeah that's what I have always wanted to hear a guy say to me. But he quickly covers his tracks, by saying that he wouldn't be here if he didn't want to be and that she shouldn't doubt his true intentions. "I'm not a very good liar", he said. No...you're a great one! Well Jake wasn't going to stand by and let Jillian get her heart broken. So he decided to fly to Austin and tell Jillian that Wes has a girlfriend and he's knows this because Wes told him about her (Laurel) not once, not twice, but three times! Come on Jillian. Guys don't talk about girls that much unless they still have feelings for them. Even if they broke up a year ago and they are just "really good friends" who sleep together occasionally and make out in public (I made that up), it doesn't mean that she's his "girlfriend". She's just a girl, that's a friend, who he talks about...a lot...to Jake...and Tanner. You have nothing to be concerned about. WAKE UP! Stop giving him roses you stupid girl! At the rose ceremony, Jillian knows she has a tough decision to make. She asked Ed to stay for the rose ceremony, so now she knows that she has to send two guys home instead of just one, because she can only take four guys on her hometown dates. I wish Chris Harrison would have just played her some tapes of Wes being a jerk, but no. The producers just want to leave that poor girl in the dark. Jillian stands in front of her boys, nervously holding the first rose. She calls Reid's name first, then Kiptyn. Deep breath... Ed gets the third...Yes! Yes! Then she does exactly what we all knew she would...she chooses Wes....you IDIOT! I have to give some props to Jesse. He walks up to Jillian and gives her a big hug, then walks out, doesn't even say anything, doesn't even turn around. I think Jillian was a little shocked, but I think she deserved it. He was right...Ed stole his rose and Wes was there for the wrong reasons. It may sting now...but he's better off. Poor sweet Michael...as much as he annoys the crap out of me...I was really touched by his speech. He said that he could not say a bad thing about that girl. He straight up loved her. He said that if he could see her again, he would tell her three things...You're beautiful, I'm going to miss you, and be happy. I was heartbroken for him. Next week, Jillian is going to take the Final Four to Spain for some more exciting adventures. I hope Jillian figures out that the only tour Wes is going to take her on is his TOUR DE PANTS. 5 CommentsLeave a comment |

I heartily recommend that Wes partake in a little bullfighting whilst in Spain, and hopefully his ego will get gored. I am also checking into whether or not the city of Austin allows for a citizen to be voted off the music scene. Wes is a tool and I resent his casting a dark shadow across our beautiful city with his glory mongering at the expense of a woman who is looking for love... in this case, in all the wrong places... Great blog, thanks for the recap and the giggles... and I felt really bad for Michael, too!
Eye heart Christie!
That's what all these bachelors should be saying. Well, except for Wes. At least Christie's got a head on her shoulders. I've decided Jillian's got nothin' between the ears. You're right Ms Humphries... she is thinking with the wrong thing.
I was really hoping Jillian would suggest calling the "ex" girlfriend to get her opinion on her status as either the present or ex girlfriend. She missed a great opportunity to clear that up..it would even have been a local call. Oh well, Jillian is obviously smitten with the bad boy in the bunch, and I'm afraid he might make the final 2.
Wes definitely doesn’t represent our wonderful city of Austin well… but, hopefully the great downtown and water views from Jake’s room at the Hyatt on Ladybird Lake will help remind viewers what a wonderful city we live in!
First of all I really enjoy your blog, I also email it to a friend in NJ. I think Jillian has Wes figured out, but she is going along with him to help promote his music (which stinks by the way) Good lord I hope the girl isn't that stupid!!!!!
