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.

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.
Oh, my gosh! Jillian should have picked Jesse instead of either Reid Or Wes! Reid has no emotional maturity – watch him when he’s with jillian, he avoids her eyes, he jokes around, changes the subject and then kisses her to avoid talking. He’s gotta be the one with bedroom trouble and she deserves it by picking someone with no emotional capability. Wes is a snake. How could she pick either of them over Jesse – he was so cool and so attractive and slow to decide but definitely wanted to give it some time. Well, only Kyptin and Ed are worth considering now. If she had picked Kyptin, Ed, Jesse and Michael (or Reid) as her final 4 it would have been a much better show.
Jillian, you’re the MOST STUPID WOMAN EVER IN BACHELORETTE.. I cant believe it.. You have a brain like a fish.. you can easily be used by people around you.. thats the reason why you cant find a husband..POOR WOMAN…
my FAVORITE part of tonight’s episode — how stupid wes asked her “how you been?” not one, not two, but THREE TIMES when she got out of the car and hugged him. problem remembering your lines, son?
my second favorite part was ed coming back.
third favorite part? every part of reid. couldn’t love him any more if i tried.
Didn’t Jake say in the past girlfriend-gate episode that if he knew who it was, he would step up and tell her? So, why didn’t he just do it back then? I am not on Wes’s side at all, but wouldn’t they have him saying that on camera somewhere? And why don’t any of them say anything about Wes’s comments about his career?? I don’t get it. I don’t know why she still picks Wes, he is just slimy. Kiptyn is fine, but she just seems to like him because he’s cute, and she seems waaay more into him than he is into her. I’m glad Ed is back but it just seemed so staged it bugged me. I like Reid (does he remind anyone else of Matthew Perry a little bit? Though not as funny of course) but I don’t see him as marriage material for her. I think she’s in trouble. And come on, no one is going to have E.D. people, those teasers are edited to make it look like that, but I’m sure just the “issue” someone has is going to be the stomach flu or something like that.
Michael is just a bit too young for Jillian. She is on a different level and really doesn’t want to go back even a little bit. Reid or Ed should have been the other one sent packing. The first one because I can’t figure out what she sees in him and Ed because he has been gone too long (not enough shows left to catch up, are there?). And why on earth do guys like Footboy and Jake show up trying to “save” Jillian? Shut your mouth and move on, losers! Let her be wary of Wes but it is her decision in the end.
It is so bad, I almost can’t watch anymore. I hate Wes, any chance he had at a music career is gone. I will turn off any radio station that plays his music. I feel bad for Jake, he did the right thing and got screwed in the end. Jake, I hope you are the next Bachelor!!!!!!
I’m not a conspiracy theory person with these shows generally, but come on, both the Ed and Jake returns were obviously set up. The timing was just too perfect. Doesn’t really matter who she picks; I don’t see this season bucking the trend of unsuccessful pairings. Oh, and Kristen, it is totally your fault I’m even watching this. If your recaps weren’t so funny, I never would have tuned in. You owe me some IQ points.
Jillian has the radar of a discombobulated bat! How could she believe that Jake flew all the way to warn her about Wes and lied. His family was so pathetic talking about how he was so honest. It is all about his CD …. who would possibly buy it after all this???
I assure you, there’s no ‘mechanical trouble’ next episode. Typical ABC/Bachelor setup for something that won’t be nearly so personal. Probably Reid not wanting to spend the night in the fantasy suite. Or something. And again, don’t worry about Wes – he’s probably going home next episode because there’s no way that he makes the top 2. So relax.
I started crying when Michael was sent home. He was truly the best guy in the competition. Maybe not for her. .but he has the best heart. I’m sure TONS of girls would jump at the chance to be with him if he was the next bachelor. I’d sign him up! Well, anyways love michael, Hate Wes, but what else is new? ha
Wes is a graduate of the Bill Clinton School of Easy Sleasy Lying. Motto: “It depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.” He went on the offensive with Jake before Jake even said a word. I went on the offensive with Jillian by saying he didn’t want to inroduce her to his famly IF she believed that stuff. Unfortunately people will buy his CD even though he is pond scum, because even bad publicity is publicity. Otherwise people like Spencer and Heidi, Paris (and Perez) wouldn’t have careers.
For the love of god Jillian! Are you dense! Do you think Jake is lying to you … really? You believe this famewhore Wes over a guy as decent as Jake? WTF?
I am an idiot for still watching this bull. Frig!
Wes’s family — wow! Total enablers. All that “Guys are always going to be jealous of you” bit — vomit-inducing. It explains a lot.
Why would guys be jealous of Wes? He’s not that good looking, his hair is HORRIBLE (It’s the new version of the comeover — hide the balding by spiking it to every inch of it’s life) and his music SUCKS! Like seriously…sucks.
I’m hereby officially revoking Jillian’s Canadian citiznenship — unless she gets some help. She’s still holding to that whole “follow my heart” theory instead of realizing that her heart is clueless when it comes to men.
And notice how she kept throwing herself at Kypton when he doesn’t reciprocate? How many times did she say “I missed you so much” and didn’t get a response (unless I missed it, I’ll confess to not paying full attention to this show). Seriously…girl is clueless!
Oh, my dearest Ed is back. Oh, Ed, how I love thee….
I don’t know what Jillian is thinking. Maybe there is more to the relationship that we are not seeing? I just don’t get it. Oh, and he who shall not be named is just a TERRIBLE singer!
I am on the band wagon with the rest of the Wes haters. I will never buy his CD if one is ever released!
