Billie - do you think she should have picked Kiptyn or Reid instead? I was surprised at how nonchalent Kip acted when she told him she loved someone else. Even in the limo - no real emotion. If he really loved her, he could have at least shed one tiny tear.

I didn't get that feeling from Kiptyn - I did want her to pick him until Reid came back and I was really hoping that he'd be the one.

Notice every year it gets more dramatic? Every year it's "The Most Dramatic Rose Ceremony Ever"! LOL! Every year the producers add more and more drama! More of the 'rejected' return to try for another chance, etc.

I just NEVER EVER saw anything in Ed, but for some reason she was drawn to him. From the beginning, in all those 30 men, he seemed one of the most forgettable (to me), and each week I was surprised when she gave him a rose.

I think Ed will probably leave her again - if his work calls. People tend to repeat patterns. I don't think it will be one of those lasting relationships. Once the show is over, real life sets in - the gorgeous settings and romantic dates aren't part of the package anymore - gotta pay for all that stuff yourselves now! :)

Gotta get back to today's bluebird pings! :)

I was shocked when Reid didn’t get a rose. He was so cute.

Yes, I agree - Ed appeared to be kind of bland (perhaps it was the editing?)

Yes, it gets more and more dramatic every season. And, the ‘players’ seem to be more and more ‘touchy-feely’, too. If I loved a guy, I sure wouldn’t be smoochin’ up with five other guys!
