Didn't they get burned on that recently because a tattoo in a preview clip gave away the winner?

The caps last season gave the winner away from the beginning as its clearly showed Melissa's hand getting the ring. This season, the caps have shown nothing like that so yeah, I think TPTB learned their lesson and won't be giving the ending away this time as there is suppose to be a "twist" in the last five minutes of the finale.

it wouldn't surprise if jake is the next bachelor...jason gave the show its highest ratings in awhile. Jake seems to be really popular with the same audience that like Jason before his "i'm really kind of an a-hole" swerve.

Don't you dare put Jakey in the same category or sentence as that whiney and lame. A wet noodle has more personality than him. I hated him when he was on The Bachelorette and threw a fit when he was named The Bachelor. It's the only season that I only watched a couple of the episodes.

Not on here. There were a few of the ladies on here that agreed with me from day one. From day one, I never understood why women liked him.

I'm married and I wouldn't mind ending up with Jake! Or Jeremy if we're going to discuss past Bachelorette candidates.

my wife told me about Ed and I lawled

this entire series has blown chunks from the beginning. the chick is not attractive and she has a lame personality. I also despise how she bobs her head back and forth when she talks

:kige:

She is horrible. I could make it through one date with her.

Also, for all you Wes haters out there, check out his interview with REality STeve at reality steve dot com. one hour and 18 minutes and he says lots of stuff that he will likely get sued buy ABC for.

What you are seeing on the show isn't close to being real. Not even remotely close.

Usually when it comes to the final 2, I have one that I really really want to win. But this season I could really care less. Fortunately Ed and Kiptyn both seem like pretty upstanding guys. Jillian is the worst bachelorette ever. She's totally mundane and I'm not referring to her looks.

I'm more excited about the men tell all special next week than the actual finale



ETA: listening to the interview, will report back

My wife was telling me about that. They edited all kinds of different sound bites together and made it look like he said some things. She said a lot of the stuff he said was sarcastic and didn't even have a g/f.

Who could have ever imagined that from the network that made the Bachelor dump some chick on live TV?

Summary of Wes's interview:

*Fwiw the guy interviewing him called Wes a douchenozzle the first couple of weeks of the show, but talking to him it changed his opinion.

His sister signed him up. He didn't know until he got a call from the producers saying they wanted him. He didn't watch past seasons and didn't know who Jillian was. Said he went through with it b/c it sounded fun and he might fall in love so why not.

The first night he met Jillian he didn't want to play the guitar for her, he found it cheesy. The producers wanted him to get out of the limo w/ it, but he refused. When he took her over to the geezebo to chat his guitar was there.

Apparently Reid had a guitar too. And Mark wrote Jillian a song and used Wes's guitar to play when he sang it to her. They filmed it, but it obviously wasn't shown. Before the show started producers kept reiterating for Wes to bring his guitar to the show.

In his 2 months there, he had about 4 hours of alone time with Jillian total.

When Wes asked why he was being made to be the villan the producers told him to "just play the game"

Before the show, he and Laurel had been broken up for 8 months, but they remained friends. They had differences on how they wanted to raise children, so they broke up but remained friends. They were broken up before, during, and after the show. Laurel has been getting death threats & calls from all over b/c her # has been posted to the internet. Wes asked the producers to use a different name so she would remain anonymous, but they said it was done & no one would figure it out. But low and behold w/ the internet it's not too hard to figure these things out.

An anonymous bachelor (Wes didn't say who it was) asked Wes about the confrontation with Jake the week after Jake was kicked off. Apparently the Lord told Jake he would be on 7 episodes, and he was only on 6 so he had to go back to fulfill what the Lord told him he was supposed to do. Jake told Wes that he had been on bended knee praying and was told by God to go back and confront Wes.

Jake told Wes "the reason I came on this show is because I want America to fall in love w/ me so I can be the next bachelor." When Jillian told Jake he was too perfect Jake went back to the house that night and was like "All my life I've been dumped for being to perfect." Wes thinks Jake is "a few pancakes short a whole stack" Basically Jake was using his religious beliefs to justify his actions on the show.

When in Canada, Wes said the thing about I've done 6 shows, I've got the publicity, I could leave right now. He actually said "I know you guys think I may be here for my career. I've done 6 shows, I've got the publicity I could leave right now. I don't want to leave here till I know there is nothing between me and Jillian" So basically they took out the beginning & the end of that . Editing at it's finest

The date in Spain was more pleasant then they made it out on tv. They had about an hour and a half dinner, and we only saw those 5 minutes. When Wes said "I was talking to Jake about my girlfriend... ex girlfriend." Jillian was laughing when he said it b/c she knew he was kidding around and making fun of the situation. It wasn't a slip up. They actually held hands and kissed several times during dinner.

The limo rant: He was sitting in the limo w/ the producer and said "Hey (producer's name) I'm the first guy to make it to the final 4 with a girlfriend hahahaha. Seriously though if I had a girlfriend, why would I be here being told what I can do and when I can go to bed? I'd be at home with her." The one about "these guys couldn't get a nibble in Texas" and "Reid is a retard" he admitted he said both of those, but said they were in a joking context because he was always cutting up on the show. They kept him in the limo for 3 hours with the AC off (the air was causing sound problems) and when he started singing the stuff at the end he admitted to being a little drunk

Said everyone on the show was basically drunk for 2 months

When at the rose ceremony he said he was going to be back in Texas having lots of sex if he wasn't picked all the guys were joking around. He said it, but they didn't show anyone else laughing around when they were talking "guy stuff" before Jillian walked up.

In regards to the upcoming men tell all special, Wes said he's between a rock in a hard place. If he goes, he's walking directly into the firing squad, but if he doesn't show he looks like a coward.

During hometown, his fam was expecting him around 4, but he and Jillian didn't get there till around midnight. His fam had done BBQ to portray the whole Texas thing, and everytime they'd go to eat (before Wes got there) the producers were like "No, here have some alcohol instead" aka trying to get them drunk for Jillian and Wes

Wes went to the producers about the effect the show had on Laurel by them using her name (the death threats, stalking, etc), and the producers were very nonchalant. People call her business, call her at all hours of the night based on what they see on the show.

His grandmother was dying, in line to receive a liver transplant, & he asked the producers for his phone to call her. They said "your mom has our #, she'll call us if anything happens." & then handed Ed his phone when his work wanted to talk to him.

"The initial reaction when I'm out is 'oh your're Wes from the bachelorette.' & they talk to me and realize I'm not an a-hole"
