And so, the cycle of abuse continues, Bachelorette fans. Every time I think Jillian's changed — that maybe this time she'll send the right guy home — she punches me in the gut with her emotional idiocy. I won't spoil anything here — check out my full Bachelorette recap and Chris Harrison's exclusive blog for details — but I've gotta know what you think: Can you believe who got a rose tonight? Is there anything that can save our poor Bachelorette from getting her heart broken in the end? And more importantly, which bachelor do you think has some… shall we say mechanical trouble in the upcoming fantasy suite episode? While you ponder these weighty questions, take a moment to enjoy the latest installment of EW.com's toy-tastic series, The Doll Bachelorette. Tonight, it's one-on-one time in the hot tub. Somebody get out the "Caution" tape!

Jillian is crazy. How could she give Ed, that smug entitled jerk, another chance over guys who had their priorities straight the first time? Michael was CRAZY about her, poor kid. He truly truly deserved a rose. I hate this show. Totally made me lose my faith in people.
WTF!! Moron. Do you think Jake is capable of lying. He may be dull, but what a guy. Wes still hasn’t shown he can write more than those two lines. Perhaps ED really does stand for Erectile Dysfunction. How lovable and sad was Michael after getting the boot even though he was singing, “I’m never gonna (break)dance again…” Chris Harrison, couldn’t you have given her some kind of Wes-is-scum high sign? Oy vey.
I am still a diehard member of Team Jake. Michael is too young for her. I’ve got an icky feeling about Wes. I think in the end, it’ll come down to Reid and Kiptyn.
I think she had to keep Wes – the producers made her keep him for drama. I am glad Ed is back, I think the producers made him leave before too…
Did I misunderstand, or did Wes actually try to break up with her before she decided to meet his family? She did say before that she wants what she can’t have. I wanted to scream at her when she gave him a rose. And yeah, Michael’s post-ceremony interview was heartbreaking!
Mechanical trouble — totally “flimsy” Reid. What is the attraction to Wes? I didn’t get it even before the whole “right reasons/girlfriend” stuff. He looks like a greasy 3-day hangover son of married cousins.
**Soooo had more faith in Jillian till tonight!! WHY would you keep Wes?? Why would you believe Wes over Jake????????? Pleeeaassee….. She must like heartache….guess some people have to learn the hard way!
I am glad Ed is back… Glad she kept him!!
I think Wes is the one with the episode of ED. It’ll be the show’s way of humiliating him for being the snake that he is. Very disappointed that he’s still here, but very pleased to see Ed back. Jillian – smarten up FAST!
Is there a rerun slot for these shows? I just missed the first 45 min. of tonight’s and I really wanted to “meet” the families, too.
OMG I can’t believe Jilliam is that niave, seriously Why did she give Wes a rose. Plus Ed didn’t deserve a 2nd chance. All the best guys are gone- Jake and Michael were perfect for her!!!!!!! The only guy that I think might be still good for her is Kiptin.
My guess would be Reid suffering from ED
Curious if the powers that be were the ones responsible bringing Ed back.
And what possible motive would Jake have to come back and say what he did to jillian other then having her best interest at heart. Wes is a scumbag
Michael really grew on me over the past weeks, and I think she made a big mistake letting him go! I don’t think Jake is capable of lying; it’s too bad Jillian didn’t see that.
Jillian, I can’t believe you kept Wes. He may not have a gf but he’s sketchy to say the least. Ed, on the other hand, has reconsidered and admitted he made a big mistake. Give him a chance for goodness sakes!!!!!
Wow. Before Jake even showed up, Wes was so weird with Jillian. Maybe some things are staged, but I think she might be “star” struck – she loves the idea of being with someone in a band and she doesn’t pay attention to what he is really communicating to her! And never mind the dispute over whether Wes has a girlfriend – he said already made 6 episodes and could now go home! Every bachelor that heard that should have told Jillian, including Jake. As for Michael, I love love love him but I don’t think jillian is the right girl for him – he needs someone younger, someone sweet who will adore him.
Ed!!!!!!!! So glad he’s back. Definitely Reid for E.D., although my hope is it’s Wes the weasel. Surprised she turfed Jesse over Reid. Maybe the producers keep showing Wes and his “music” because they know what crap it is and no one who’s been a victim of his “promotion” by watching this show will buy his tuneless mess of a song.
