As I remind you at the end of every Bachelorette/Bachelor season I don't watch the show. I do have enough friends who watch both of them religiously that I know it is best not to call at certain hours. It is also one of those shows that they seem to watch live rather than DVR because they enjoy talking about it while they are watching it to the point where I am not sure they actually listen to any of the show.
Anyway, for those of you who are like me who don't watch it, Jillian Harris won. I don't know much about Jillian except for the fact that in Canada they call her the Olympics pimp because of her constant plugging of the Olympics in Vancouver next year. Hey she loves her country and as a bonus someone probably paid her for her it so it's a win/win.
The only thing I know about Ed Swiderski is that he left the show apparently at one point in the season, came back because he was desperate for Jillian and then couldn't, umm, get to full strength on their fantasy date. Wait until after they have been married a few years. I can't imagine having the entire country know you couldn't get it up.
It turns out that one of the guys Jillian rejected was Kiptyn Locke. Well he doesn't have to feel too bad because I heard he is the new Bachelor. So, even though Jillian turned him down he will get to choose from a bunch of women and will achieve his own 15 minutes of fame.
Kiptyn?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll admit I'm a sucker for this show. I figured Jillian would choose Ed, but I never thought that Kiptyn would become the next Bachelor.
ReplyDeleteBetter him than Hallmark sentiment-spouting Mesnick-pulling Jake, though.
But really, I wish they'd stop recycling Bachelors/ettes and bring in some fresh blood!
ITA, Booster Seat. Bringing back the "loser" thing is getting old.
ReplyDeleteEd was my fave from the beginning, but realitysteve says Ed has a girlfriend(s).
I hate to steal something I read today, but it was so true that Kiptyn's face doesn't match the bod.
Enty, there's no talking during the show, but during the commercials the phone is ringing off the hook.
Somebody needs to start a drinking game while watching this show -- next season every time someone says the phrase "on this journey" -- you drink. It drives me nuts, but I have to admit...I do watch it if I'm home and it's on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Enty WOULD watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette if he played this game? He could get drunk, FAST...

ReplyDeleteOr "here for the right reason" or "process"...which is the most unromantic word ever and it's constantly uttered on this show!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for Ed publicly losing wood. I mean it happens to everyone once in awhile, but on TV and then to have the "lights go back on" had to be humiliating (per the clip I saw on The Soup).
ReplyDeletewth kind of name is kyptin? poor dude.
ReplyDeleteomg, the other guy couldn't get it up, seriously? eep.
Ed had two girlfriends in Chicago. They didn't know about each other until back in April (when Ed was home "for work") people started talking about this guy they know who had been kicked off the show who really had a girlfriend... and they soon figured out they were talking about different girls.
ReplyDeleteBy the time they got to Hawaii he was a free man, both girlfriends told him it was over (big shock), but I have to wonder how much Jillian really knows about the situation. He probably told her part of the truth, but not all of it.
I feel sorry for Jill, I hope the show was 100% fake so she isn't heart broken for real when she realizes Eddie Boy didn't change for her at all.
apparently they are 'over the moon' according to a mutual friend who finally talked to jillian about it last night. can you imagine being home for 2months and not getting to tell your bff you are engaged..or your parents? i loved seeing a local girl tell it like it is for a change.
ReplyDeletetotal pimp tho, Enty is correct there! i'm surprised they didn't get engaged in front of the olympic clock!
Team Reid all the way, Kyptyn is a bore.
@jax, seriously, who says "over the moon"? I only ever hear it out of sycophantic publicists and I hate hate HATE that phrase.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm no Olympics pimp, but I will pimp my friend's article about this very topic: Vancouver's Bachelorette Jillian Harris makes her final choice
Hey, don't feel sorry for Kyp regarding his name. Have you seen his bod??? OMG...it's perfection. Forget the 6-pack. His abs are more like a case! I'll call him Kyp, Skip, DipShi**, makes no difference to me...just let me see those abs!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reporting on this silly show ET. It is my one guilty TV pleasure. Fun. Where did you hear it was Kypton? I heard the next bachelor was Jake. Anyway, it's true. I hate getting phone calls during the show. It's just so fun to watch. LY ET!
ReplyDeleteApparently Ed was a major fatty in college, lost the weight and got a big ego in exchange. And thus lots of women.
ReplyDeletea guy named kiptyn, eh?
ReplyDeletei'm guessing either:
scottish
irish
or
klingon
bionic bunny!, that was the BEST scroll-down reveal comment EVER!
ReplyDeleteThere is now milk that has been snorted allll over my keyboard. Thanks for the laugh!
Spot on, bb, spot on! :)
ReplyDeleteMiranda, it was a shoutout to MK from Dlisted lol.
ReplyDeletehey enty after tonights show their is a pollon abc.com to vote on kyptyn,reid,jake or the new guy for the next one. so far reid is winning lol.
ReplyDeleteKiptyn Locke...will achieve his own 15 minutes of fame.
ReplyDeleteFifteen minutes is a little generous, dontcha think?
Disclaimer: I've never watched the show. I usually schedule a headache for that time period.
Kiptyn's parents scared the shit out of Jillian -- did you see that ep? His parents are beyond strange. I never though Kippy had a chance.
ReplyDeleteInformative content, In bachelor party you can drink all night but between the beer and the strippers, wouldn't it be fun to have a few bachelor party games such as Despedida Soltero.
