The Bachelorette: Jillian Harris Season
TV Grapevine has an extended sneak preview for Monday night’s Bachelorette showing Jillian on dates in Whistler with Michael, Kip and Jesse.
It ends with the ABC promo showing drama with Ed and Jillian worried her chances for love are over.
Two of the ten will go home this week. Right now, I’m thinking they are Tanner and Mark. Stay tuned.
Spoilers ahead: Don’t read if you want to be surprised.
Jillian Harris takes her 13 remaining bachelors to her home town of Vancouver this week. All together, there will be three Canadian episodes. In addition to Vancouver, there will be Whistler and then one featuring a train ride on the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff, where the last Canadian rose ceremony is held. At the end of the Canadian episodes, she’s down to 5 guys who then go on hometown dates.
As for Vancouver’s episode tonight:
Dates include a romantic dinner at Grouse Mountain Resort, a kayaking excursion to Granville Island, a romantic picnic in Stanley Park, and a Vancouver harbour cruise aboard the classic luxury yacht, Pacific Yellowfin, complete with a Dungeness crab dinner hosted by adventure travel outfitter Exposure. Jillian also has the guys flex their muscles in a competitive match of curling!
Kip goes on the kayaking excursion. It’s certain he gets a rose. The picnic in Stanley Park/dinner on Grouse Mountain date is a 2 on 1 date with Mark and Mike. Mike won’t get a rose and will go home before the rose ceremony. The five bachelors on the winning curling match team will go on the yacht date. Anger-prone David acts like a jerk on the yacht. I think he goes home tonight. Continue reading
Jillan Harris, this season’s Bachelorette, says in an interview that we should not be surprised to hear in a year there’s a wedding in the works. She also says there are a few big surprises between the middle and the end of the show. Continue reading
Spoiler Alert: Tonight the Bachelorette and her 16 remaining suitors are still in L.A. You’ll see a one-on-one rappelling date with Ed that goes well and one with Sasha at an automotive museum (and then cruising in a Ferrari) that doesn’t end well. Jillian twirls the rose around in her hand in the Ferrari, but declines to give it to Sasha. Why? Perhaps because he’s said he’s never been in love. Who needs a romantic kindergartner?
It’s also the Western episode (like the General Hospital episode of last season) where the guys and Jillian act out scenes, almost all involving kissing. I think this is where Brad makes his fatal mistake that gets him sent home at the rose ceremony. Continue reading
Xtra TV gets the award for the worst quality live-stream interview in memory with what should have been a big coup: Bachelorette Jillian Harris’ first live video interview since the Final Rose Ceremony in Hawaii last weekend. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:

(Updates below): Jillian will go from 20 bachelors to 16 tonight.
After the 20 cocktail-party survivors settle into their “animal house,” one accompanies Jillian to Hollywood’s House of Blues, where they’re serenaded by Martina McBride. Another dines with Jillian in a bank vault. Group dates include a trip to Venice Beach, where guys play basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters; and a pool party, followed by a race across L.A. Come elimination time there’s a new wrinkle: The men vote on whom they’d like to see go, and after Jillian weighs in 16 are left.
Here’s my guess as to who is eliminated (in bold):
Brad, 27, financial advisor from Chicago, IL.
Brian, 32, IT consultant from Atlanta, GA.
David, 27, trucking contractor from Dayton, OH.
Ed, 29, technology consultant from Chicago, IL.
Jake, 31, commercial pilot from Dallas, TX.
Jesse, 27, wine maker from Carmel Valley, CA.
Juan, 35, general contractor from Santa Monica, CA.
Julien, 34, restauranteur from San Diego, CA.
Kiptyn, 31, business developer from Encinitas, CA.
Mark, 26, pizza entrepreneur from Denver, CO.
Mathue, 26, personal trainer from Wichita, KS.
Michael, 25, break dance instructor from Astoria, NY.
Mike, 28, baseball camp owner from New York, NY.
Reid, 30, realtor from Philadelphia, PA.
Robby, 25, bartender from Spring, TX.
Sasha, 27, oil and gas consultant from Tiki Island, TX.
Simon, 26, soccer coach from Bradford, England
Tanner F., 28, sales representative from Derby, KS/Denver.
Tanner P., 30, financial analyst from Dallas, TX.
Wes, 32, musician from Austin, TX.
Who to keep your eye on? Mike, Kip and Reid, for sure. Maybe Jesse. Wes the country singer makes it to a home town date but gets cut then. There’s lots of talk he just went on the show for publicity to further his career.
I think the final two will be Kip and Reid, but I’m not completely sure yet. Continue reading
