Ed and Jillian
\nJillian says they are a real-life couple, so if that’s true, that’s cool. Ed comes out and they smooch and it looks more real than a lot of couple reunions on this show. Ed says he’s extremely glad that he came back and he’s so happy. He says he knew he was going to propose in Spain. They talk about the proposal and smooch some more, but Jillian seems to be kissing him weirdly. Am I alone in this?<\/p>\n
Chris asks them about the future and they say that Jillian is coming to Chicago for awhile and move in with Ed. They have family reunions and weddings to attend this summer and then she’s moving on September 1st. They say they will probably get married in the next 12 months. Wow, bold.<\/p>\n
Audience question time. The first girl asks about the mankini shorts. Seriously, dude. It looked like he stole Jillian’s bikini bottoms. Second question is about bedroom problems and they say there are no more bedroom problems. Chris then gets the line of the night in, “A great country & western singer once said, ‘Love, it don’t come easy.’” Snerk. I heart Chris Harrison.<\/p>\n
There is no announcement about the next Bachelor, which is interesting. I hope it’s Reid or Jake. You can vote at ABC.com. Thanks for reading, gang! See you back here in the fall!
\nNewsweek even goes so far as to ask that loaded question: Is The Bachelorette rigged? One need only look at this spring’s Bachelor finale to see similar soap opera-ish antics: the show’s star dumped the winning girl for the runner-up.<\/p>\n
Speculation like this is to be expected when real-life seems so much like drama. Perhaps that goes to show that people who watch soap operas aren’t missing as much real-life as we think. Nah, I don’t know anyplace where everyone has been married or involved with everyone else at one time, as in a soap.<\/p>\n
Here’s how the Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski moment unfolded: first, Jillian had to reject Kiptyn. Then Jillian had to reject Reid, in a surprise return. Then Ed came on for the ultimate question.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be with you forever. I want a family with you. I want you to give me a hard time when we\u2019re 80-years-old. Jillian, will you marry me?\u201d
\nEd said tonight \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that would prevent me from getting down on one knee\u201d that may not be the case.<\/p>\n
And when Jillian rejected Kiptyn saying \u201cIn the mean time, I\u2019ve fallen in love with somebody else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unfortunately there is no post Finale interviews from Bachelorette , so we have to wait and see the direct reactions form Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski (if any) to prove whether they are still together.<\/p>\n
