This is it..the last show :( And as the trailers promised..the most dramatic rose ceremony ever!!!
but first..
Meet the Parents
On the Big Island, Kiptyn and Ed got to meet Jill's parents, Grandma Marjorie and her dear cousin Tara. Ed is very certain about Jillian and that comes across quite clearly. What was unclear was why Ed brought grass skirts and coconut bras for the Polynesian dance party that ensued.
Kiptyn's meeting seemed to be a bit stilted or stunted. He didn't seem to be quite as into Jill as Ed did. When answering the very direct question "Are you in love with Jill?" he answered "I'm getting there a lot quicker than I thought I would". Okay Reid, I mean Kiptyn. I get that sometimes people take longer than others to make decisions. But dude..tick tock...this reality show has timelines.
Last chance dates
When it comes to fashion, Ed is definitely all turf and not surf. What happens to Ed when he hits the beach? His awful green tank top resurfaced..this time he paired it with a short-sleeve pink shirt, along with his short green shorts. What was up with those shorts? And why did they have the superfluous back pocket...kinda like the pajama pocket on men's pajama shirt/pant combos.
Cliches and symbolism are not Lost on this island. Yep...we are assured that Ed and Jill's relationship is hot and smoky..replete with an erupting volcano. Yikes!! We got it. Ed did reassure Jill that he will never leave Jill again. Awww. (I heart Ed!!)
So is Kiptyn going to be trippin' over his words?? Jill and Kiptyn go for a rip around the island on a speedboat..then they dine shoreline. Then they..i mean Kiptyn paddles out on one surfboard with one paddle. Kiptyn says he's falling in love with her..which is not quite saying I'm in love with you. He ends with saying that he would be hurt if he lost her. Hmmm...what would be hurt..his pride?? Dunno..not convinced about Kiptyn.
Decision Day
It doesn't matter if you're a bachelor or bachelorette one thing is for sure. Your room will have a balcony and you'll be filmed waking up then walking out on your balcony and staring out onto the water pondering your fate. The men go shopping for a ring...then we have a last chance to see how ripped Kip is. He jogged shirtless to destress:)Ed, meanwhile takes a stroll and reflects by a reflecting pool. Both men decide to wear purple ties (and for some reason we get to know that Ed wears quite tight blue underwear) I still heart Ed despite his bad outer and underwear choices.
Jill's dress choice for decision day was a bit whimsical, a bit romantic and very bridal.
First out of the limo..was Kiptyn. He walked the plank to Jill's podium and finally told her "I love you." Kiptyn..you snooze, you lose. So back across the plank and to the limo. Kip kept his pride intact by not crying on camera:) In his words "I'm a man, I have to deal with it"....and word on the street is that Kiptyn's the next bachelor.
So just when you think Ed's got it....the drama sneaks in.....and it comes in a red minivan!!
We've heard that house prices have plummeted 66% in the US..but this is quite obvious given how Reid the realtor rolled onto the Big Island. No limo for Reid but a Caravan instead. And when the sliding door dramatically opens, and out gingerly steps...REID!!!! What kind of sneakers did Reid have on?? Keds or tretorn?? And why with the suit jacket?? It's like he metaphorically couldn't decide how to put his best foot forward. He was casual and inappropriate. And how incredibly inappropriate to insert Reid between the Kiptyn and Ed. Then he decides to propose. It seems like one has to do something jarring and dramatic to have Reid pay attention. Thankfully, Jillian said no. Then, figuratively and literally Jillian had to close the door on this relationship (Jill even had to close his taxi door....I think it would be frustrating to be with Reid)
And finally Ed....He looked absolutely lovely in his suit....were his pants slightly short or was he hiking up his pants with his hands out of nervousness???Jillian looked elated yet relaxed when she saw him. Ed enumerated the many reasons why he loved her and graciously said to her that he need to hear that she loved him before he continued:):) I like Ed's sense of self. When she unequivocally stated she did...then Ed proposed and Jill said yes!!!!
The show ended with a cheesey video montage to the Martina McBride song that she was sung for Jake and Jill's one on one date. Oh well....can never have too much fromage on this show.
Hopefully Jill and Ed work out:) If not...I've always loved Chicago:):)
Until next season Bachelor/Bachelorette fans....I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
