She's too afraid to step out of her comfort zone and Reid and Kiptyn's worlds and backgrounds were just too different. She's a small town girl with a lot of insecurities who chose the one she could relate to best. It's an ending with no pizazz, except maybe for her and Ed. The only good thing is Ed's personality comes across as so flat, they won't become media darlings and we won't have to watch much more of them after this week.

Fire alone will not sustain a relationship, but it just seems like Ed was just a safe pick and she didn't want to be the next Jason Mesnick by dropping Ed and choosing Reid. You don't cling to someone like she clung to Reid when he returned and then say yes to spending the rest of your life with someone else the next minute. At the very least she should have demanded more time and announced her decision on ATFR. ABC might not have been happy, but she would have reached a surer decision. It might still have been Ed, who knows? Jillian does seem happy and I wish her all the best with Ed, but the fire between her and Reid is undeniable.
