'The Bachelorette' episode 10: Some men tell all, others don't show up

I'm going to be honest, Bachelorette fans — I think these reunion specials are a waste of time. And this is coming from someone who has Big Brother season passed on her DVR. Once Jillian sends someone packing, they are wiped clean from my memory (with the possible exception of Michael the bartender). That makes it all the harder to enjoy this two-hour trip down filler memory lane. At least tonight's Men Tell All special had some drama; it was steeped in rejected bachelor anger — and not just from Dave the Rageaholic. Whether they were pig-piling on Jake for being "perfect" or taking Juan to task for shot-gate, these boys were pissed and they wanted everyone to know it. The boys who bothered to show up, that is. Click over to my full Bachelorette TV Watch recap for details and don't miss Chris Harrison's exclusive EW.com blog, but before all that, tell me what you thought of the MTA extravaganza below. Were you shocked at who was MIA? Who handled themselves well — and who should just shut the hell up? And most importantly, will it be Ed or Kiptyn (or Reid) who gets the final rose? If you need a laugh after all that rage, check out the most recent episode of EW.com's original series The Doll Bachelorette. Tonight, Zambonae quizzes the bachelors — with shocking results.

    REID!!! Even though the ring he was contemplating looked less like an engagement ring and more like a wedding band, i was so excited to see him at the end! I expected he’d show up, but wow I squealed. I feel like Reid is the EveryBoyfriend that you just want to snuggle, despite his neuroses. I’m a New Yorker, I just love a neurotic man

  • Bridelines

    I love Reid too…come back!! I respect for not coming on-they would have ripped him apart. Hope she chooses Ed in the end.

    I can’t say I watched the entire show. It was so slow that I found myself doing lots of other things around the house, while it was on. I was boring with a capital B. More edits on Wes. That’s old. The only thing that was of any value was to learn that David has absolutely no idea of how to treat a woman, unless maybe a biker woman, who might like to know that her “ass” is fine. We now know why David is single and why he’ll probably remain that way. This show has run it’s course. It’s misleading and full of BS anyway.

    I think you meant Michael the breakdancer, Kristen, instead of bartender. Guess he was partially wiped from your memory afterall! :-)

    According to this blog, wes was not on the show because ABC dis-invited him!

    I thought it was interesting that Chris said Reid is not here because he is engaged elsewhere. Is that a hint that Jillian ends up with him?!?!?!

  • Phoenix

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Reid is CLEARLY the only one for Jillian and I am at the point where I do not even care if it is scripted. Reid should win…best love story ever!
    GO REID!

  • wombat

    whoo hoo!! reid’s coming back! and he’s otherwise engaged!
    wait. i want jilly to be happy but i want reid for myself. never mind!! :)

  • Lola

    REID!!!! Oh please let this turn out with him and Jilli together at the end. I can’t handle the thought of him being heartbroken twice on this show. I literally had to rewind my PVR twice to make sure what I saw was true.
    Can’t say much about the rest of the episode, other than the boys showed their true colors…all of them! And I always wished there were more outtakes. Enough with Jason & Molly already. Who cares???

  • Jacoblover

    OMG Reid is coming back.. My heart seriously made 10 backflips, a triple lutz, and a perfect 10 dismount. Needless to say I was overjoyed. I seriously hope she picked him cause I can’t bear to see the cutiepie’s heart broken twice. Reid and Jillian are perfect for each other. Their chemistry flows naturally without effort and they always always have fun with each other which was such a pleasure to watch. Reid and Jillian 4ever!! Wish I could have Reid all for myself though. TEAM REID TEAM REID TEAM REID TEAM REID TEAM REID TEAM REID TEAM REID!!! I HEART REID!!

    Reid! Yes! But if Jillian stupidly ditches him again, please make him the next Bachelor. Jake has to be one of the most annoying men I’ve ever listened to…even his smile irritates me.

  • Annette

    One more thing — Chris, you have to tell us what Wes said in the limo after he said “first to make it to final 4 with a girlfriend”. So did he or did he not say words after the fact implying that there’s no way he had a girlfriend? C’mon, spill it!! Only you can clear this up. I know you said that you hope you’ve had your final words about Wes, but we’re dying to know! I’m such a closet bachelor fan but I’m coming close to making this the topic at the water cooler just to see what everyone else thinks.

  • Fiorella

    I jumped off the couch and screamed when I saw Reid at the very last second of last nights episode! I absolutly love him and hope that Jillian does not let him go twice! It would break my heart! He is perfect for her. People dream of finding a connection like they have. He gives me butterflies and takes my breath away! If Jillian does not choose him then PLEASE make him the next Bachelor! He deserves to be happy and find love. I am not ready to stop seeing him! Team Reid all the way!

  • Jann

    Sorry but I think this whole eposide is boring & unnecessary. Why hash it over with more bashing, whining & especially the crying :(
