Bachelorette Reveals Two Shockers!

Well, Bacheloretters, did you see this coming?

ABC continually teased a Jake-Wes confrontation in Texas after Wes takes Jillian to meet - yep, you guess it - his band, but what they didn't tease was Jillian continuing to buy all of Wes's bulls**t even after not one, not two, but three of the guys tried to convince her that not everyone was there for the right reasons. The entire drama with Jake seemed completely contrived, even if his confession that Wes has a girlfriend (although still unfounded by what's been aired) is true. Jillian agreed to visit his family, and even then it seemed like his moms (bio-mom and step-mom, but no dad. go figure.) and sisters are playing along to help Wes launch his career so they can reap the benefits. According to them, everyone tells lies about Wes because they are just so damn jealous of him! Yeah, kind of hard to believe. But even after all the drama and relentless voiceovers of Wes claiming that "he's only here for his music", he claimed another rose at the ceremony.

Shocker number two, as many of my fellow fans have predicted, was the return of Ed. And boy was I glad! Ed is and has been my favorite, and I was ecstatic to see him ask Jillian for a second chance. I could just see the relief on her face: Thank God I don't have to turn down a proposal from one of these shmucks! Although he missed out on a train ride through the wilderness and a hometown meeting with his family, Jillian didn't seem to think twice about keeping him over this week's ousters, Michael and Jesse.

Of these two, I am saddest to see Michael go, but it was painfully obvious that he felt way more for Jillian than she did for him. Jesse has always been rather dull and would never be able to match Jillian's high energy. The only other thing that needs to be mentioned about the hometown dates was Kiptyn's freaky "Real Housewife" mom. Eek. Definitely too high-society yacht-club for our Bachelorette.

Now we are down to the final four, Kiptyn, Ed, Wes, and Reid and a trip to Spain. Here's to an ouster for Wes next week and a Reid-Ed final two. Go team Ed!
