"Ed better not f-ing disappoint me!" commented a circumspect yet madly in love Jillian on the fifth installment of "The Bachelorette." On a previous overnight date, Ed presumably was unable to come up with the goods, leaving Jillian waiting for her next suitor.
Jillian had a last chance to make out with both Ed and Kyptyn before making a final decision. Ed and Jillian share some steamy time in a helicopter before a romantic rain forest picnic where a curious slab of beef is set before Ed. Maybe a joke by some production assistants? "Where's the beef?" Ed and Jillian frolic in the surf and Ed meekly asks Jillian if she would "like to come back to his place." Usually this question ensues when a man ponies up the cost of a few cocktails, but whatever. The couple ends up in a hotel room. Volcanoes erupt. Coincidence? Jillian will always hold this over Ed's head, no pun intended.
Ed and Kryptyn both meet with Neil Lane, famed jewelry designer, to select a ring should they receive a final rose. We get to see Kryptyn and his buff bod and amazing six-pack, clad at various times in either board shorts or a white towel. Maybe it is all in the editing, but I could swear I heard Jillian wax about her hot chemistry with Kryptyn. Shortly thereafter, she declared undying love for Ed. But not before Reid showed up in a rumpled 80s style suit and white sneakers. Maybe he planned on making a run for it should he be turned down?
If I am not mistaken, this is not the first time a spurned contestant "talked his way" into coming back on the show. Come on, are we supposed to believe he phoned from home. "Hey, Mike, listen. I am really in love with this girl. PLEASE, let me come back?" "Well, OK. Just for a few minutes while we wait for Ed. But, you don't get a limo! And you will have to use your own miles to get a ticket!" I vaguely remember a former contestant flying all the way to some remote location in Italy. Imagine the surprise when the bachelor opened the door!
Reid's "surprise" visit threw Jillian for a loop. "Let's take five so I can reevaluate whom I want to spend the rest of my life with..." Or at least the few weeks before the finale aired.
Guess we'll have to wait till "After the Final Rose" to see if Ed and Jillian are still together. Does Ed have a girlfriend back in Chicago? Did Ed disappoint Jillian on more than one occasion? Who will be the next Bachelor?
In the meantime, we can watch "Dating in the Dark," and "More to Love."
