I think the last minute plea for Jillian by Reid was actually a Bachelor 2009 try out.

That's what Reality Steve alleges as well. :)

Since this show likes to recycle the Runners Up, who will be the next Bachelor? I think Kiptyn would be a good choice. I also think that it was pretty obvious that the show was positioning Reid and Jake as future Bachelors.

That being said, he would never accept the opportunity, but if Wes was the next Bachelor, DAMN....you KNOW that that would make for good television. :D

What did y'all think of Reid's "proposal outfit" ?

Nothing says, "I LOVE YOU" like a rumpled shirt and too short pants, fugly tennis shoes, and a jacket provided by the maitre d'!!

That being said, I'm embarrassed to admit I got a bit misty eyed at Ed's proposal. They really did seem excited and happy about it. I know I'm a sentimental schmuk, but I hope it wasn't just for show and that they can beat the odds!!

Me too! :)

Watching the After The Rose show now - can't wait to see how Jill and Ed are together.

Does Jillian have dual citizenship (i.e. Canadian and US)? If she only has Canadian citizenship, I'd like to know how she is planning to legally work in the US and support herself, while she is living with Ed and waiting to be married to him? It's not as though being an interior designer is a super rare, sought-after occupation in the US.

I'm just saying.

P.S. When Ed walked out on stage in the ATFR episode tonight, I have to say, I got a slight whiff of teh gay.
