Rosey Endings...

It's time! It's time! After 2 months, 30 men, countless dates and tons of drama and tears the night I have been waiting for, um I mean Jillian has been dreaming of is finally here!!!

The episode starts in Hawaii and the final two men Ed and Kiptyn get to meet Jillian's parents along with her cousin and grandma for the first time. The mom has 66 questions for each of the men to answer and no I am not exaggerating, she actually asked them each 66 questions. Do you want children? Where do you see yourself in 20 years? Blah..Blah.. I mean honestly is a guy not going to give the answer mom wants to hear. I found Ed's responses totally cookie cutter yet I felt like Kip was so genuine and the little wink he threw Jill's mom made my heart pitter-patter. Seriously, I was clutching my chest, possibly on the brink of a panic attack or I have a major crush on Kiptyn.

One, two, three, four, oh excuse me. I was just counting the number of amazing abs that are on Kiptyn's body. This guy does not just have a 6 pack I think it's more like a 12 pack. He definitely deserves kudos for his stellar body but as each week passes and we learn more about him I am falling for more then just his beautiful face. I think he is an all around wonderful guy and I am almost ashamed that in previous blogs I referred to him as a pretty package with nothing to say. He really proved me wrong and I have no problem admitting it. I love that he is charming, sweet and when he speaks he actually looks at Jillian in the face instead of avoiding all contact like Ed does.

In what will go down in history as one of my favorite Bachelorette moments Jilly and Kiptyn are laying in the bed together and he looks down at her and asks if she is happy and she says yes. This was me -- Yes, Kiptyn, I am happy, I am happy!!!! Um. Yes, I need to get a grip. My heart was POUNDING watching the entire episode. I realize it is not my love life on the line but I am invested here people!



Jill gets to spend the evening with each man and that is where the above mentioned convo between Kip and Jill takes place. They also lay their feelings on the line and for once Kip opens up about how he is definitely falling in love with her. We later cut to Jill's time with Ed and in a not so subtle euphimism they cut to a shot of a Volcano errupting. Alrighty then, I guess the little issue in last weeks has been taken care of.

Finally the day is here where Jillian will pick her man. Looking stunning in a white strapless dress she is beaming and I am freaking out because the suspense is just too much! To my horror the first limo to arrive is Kiptyn's. Anyone who has watched The Bachelor/ette knows that this is never ever a good sign. First one out of the limo with 45 minutes to spare on the TV is always the first to go home. Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Kiptyn confesses his love to Jill only to be crushed and be told she is in love with someone else. Kip is crushed. I am crushed. Jillian, you idiot! On the bright side...Kiptyn would make the perfect Bachelor next Season...Hmmm...



I pop a Xanax and sit back to watch the disaster about to happen (kidding, on the Xanax part by the way, sorta) I assume Ed is on his way when lo and behold Reid pops out of the SUV that has just pulled up. Convinced that he is the one for Jillian he must speak to her right away. Being he is trying to convince her of his undying love I would have hoped he could have put on dress shoes with his blazer but no he is wearing sneakers. Looking quite sloppy he proposes to Jill. As happy as Jill is to see Reid when she tells him to please get up I know this can not be a good sign.

We cut to Ed who has now circled the block 20 times and must be wondering what in the world is going on out there Ed proposes to Jill in what I can only describe as the most anticlimatic proposal ever. I just didn't buy it. I dont know why but I think Jill was playing it safe by choosing Ed and although he seems like an ok guy I just didn't feel the heat.



The fact that The Bachelorette is over is so bitter sweet. Jillian was a wonderful Bachelorette and I grew very fond of many of the guys on the show. Tonight we get to see what happend "After the Final Rose" and I am really hoping that Jillian is truly happy with her choice. The next important question is who will be the next Bachelor:
