The Bachelorette - 5 ª Season

When we last saw lovely Jillian, she had been jilted at the pseudo-altar by Jason. "The second that Jason didn't give me that last rose, I was devastated," she said. Will she ever recover? More time spent on national TV can only help. Cut to Los Angeles, where Jillian jumps rope, lifts weight, eats hot dogs, washes her purple convertible and prances around in a bikini. "I'm ready to find love again," she proclaims. And a good thing, too -- because Chris steps out a McMansion to introduce a new season of "The Bachelorette." Turns out 25 lucky guys will have the chance to give Jillian a happy ending. Let's meet a few, shall we? Kiptyn is a surfer -- a ripped surfer. "If I fall in love that would be the most amazing thing ever," he says. Then there's Michael, who break dances on the streets of New York. He DEFINITELY thinks Jillian is the gal for him. Julien, meanwhile, likes to jump out of planes and drive sports cars really, really fast. "Jillian and Julien together forever -- that sounds great," he quips. And clever too! Steve, an attorney, is a catch because he is an attorney. Juan works as an architect with his mother, who demands grandkids. "I think Jillian would make the perfect parent," Juan says. Mark is an entrepreneur and pizza-shop owner. He also likes to wear Spandex and bike. Kyle, on the other hand, likes to dress in thrift-store clothes. "I make love good," he says. Sasha, who is "100-percent Serbian," is also an oil man who likes to roast pigs. Wes from Texas is a country singer and plays a tune to prove it. His nickname in Mexico: "the rooster." Jacob flies the friendly skies as a pilot. "It's my art," he claims. Jacob would also "absolutely die" to make Jillian's dreams come true. The men jump in a limo and crack open the bubbly. Nothing like a car full of guys and flutes of champagne. Jillian, meanwhile, talks to Chris about her dating philosophy, which boils down to "you have to slay a few dragons to find your prince." She is also looking for "Mr. Invisible." Chris explains that this is because we don't know what he looks like yet. Thanks, Chris. The limo arrives and the guys take turns gushing over their potential future wife. David, on the other hand, is nothing short of awestruck, leading to much awkward silence. High-school coach Bryan one ups the field by literally sweeping Jillian off her feet. He puts her down and it's time to head inside. The men "ooh" and "ahh" as Jillian enters. "As cliché as it sounds, please be yourself," she says. You're right. It does sound cliché. Cheers and clinking glasses later, Jillian says it's "surreal" to be on the other side of the competition. Jacob, meanwhile, is the first to take Jillian outside for a little one-on-one chatting. Turns out he is the "black sheep" of the family because he isn't a doctor. Soon, wine-maker Jesse arrives to steal Jillian away. He shows off an "aspiring Canadian" t-shirt under his suit (because Jillian is from up north, dontcha know). Only a few minutes into the party and the competition is ON. Now it's Jillians turn to choose a conversationalist. She picks Kiptyn out of the crowd and drags his willing, chiseled frame poolside. "You surf?" she asks. "I took up surfing about three years ago." Clearly, the two have an instant connection. Kiptyn then explains that he is a ketchup-only guy (Jillian apparently defines men by the condiments they enjoy). Jillian finds this answer to be "cute." Host Chris arrives carrying the all-important first-impression rose. Lawyer Steve declares that he wants it. Kyle observes that some of the men have already become a little "catty." Meow! He also plans to dazzle Jillian with his "wit," which means drawing a mustache on his finger and Jillian's finger so they can pretend to have facial hair. Dazzling, indeed. Mathue then takes a page out of coach Bryan's playbook and lifts Jillian up, carrying her to side of the pool. But Wes it about to out-awkward them all. That's right, the country singer takes out his guitar and begins playing a soulful tune he wrote for his dear Jillian. "It's time to whoop some ass," he tells the camera. Uh huh. Yet Jillian claims to "love it." Not to be outdone, break-dance instructor Michael arrives to give our lovely heroine a lesson. She kicks off her heels and gets to work. Soon, the pair is laughing. It's the whitest love match ever! Before you can say "Oh ... my ... dear ... Lord," a dance-off breaks out between Michael and Greg. Greg claims to be the winner, but the other boys disagree. We don't an opinion. Chris re-enters, but it's not time for the rose ceremony just yet. Instead, the host opens the door and -- wha!? -- five NEW hunks enter. "It won't just be the 25 of you," Chris explains. "There will be 30 bachelors." This twist, apparently, is a first for the show. Jillian can't believe it -- and neither can the men we've spent the last 75 minutes getting to know and love. "The competition was tough," Chris said. "It just got tougher." Well said, Chris. Well said. Jillian meets with the new dudes. Reid, a realtor, notes that the Bachelorette is "hot." Financial analyst Tanner says Jillian is "awesome" and "such the marrying type." HOWEVER, he seems most concerned with the Bachelorette's feet. In fact, Tanner devises a plan to get Jillian's shoes off for a little toe dipping in the pool. "Got to have high arches -- that's the key," Tanner tells the camera. Luckily, Jillian's feet prove pretty and not mangled. Oookaaaaayyy. Now it's finally time to hand out the first-impression rose. And who is the lucky man? None other than trucking contractor David. Why? "Sort of like a second shot at a first impression," Jillian explains. Says David: "That's awesome ... Stick it on me." And so she does. The boys are going to be soooo jealous. Killjoy Chris interrupts the party again. Time for the rose ceremony. "You guys totally exceeded my expectations," Jillian says. Having said that, it's time to give 10 expectation-exceeding men the boot. Jillian heads to the deliberation room to relive fond memories of the last 90 minutes and stare at framed photos of the beaus. After much contemplation, she is ready to hand out floral arrangements. Nineteen flowers to hand out. Let's get started. Rose getters include: Jacob, Jesse, Wes, Mathue, Michael, Robert, Ed, Reid, Simon, Kiptyn, Mike, Brian, Sasha, Julien, Tanner P., Mark, Brad, Tanner F. and, finally, Juan. That's it. The rest of the boys are heading home. They don't even have to pack their bags. The departing men "take a moment to say goodbye," per Chris's suggestion. John P. is shocked, noting that Jillian seemed like his "soul mate." High-hairline Steve "did not see that coming ... maybe she doesn't like awesome guys." Maybe. We close the first episode with Jillian toasting to her remaining men. Until next week.

We open outside the mansion with Jillian drinking orange juice and relaxing poolside. She talks of the 20 hunks living in a dorm nearby and thanks her lucky stars. She's not a "skinny blonde, big-boob model," the bachelorette explains. Chris, meanwhile, hangs with his bros at the guest house. He drops the first date card. Michael, Bryan, Fred, Sacha, Tanner P., Wes, Ed and Mathu will be heading out on the first group date. The dudes walk to mansion to find Jillian sunbathing next to a rose. "I want both of those things immediately," Michael says. Creepy. The pool party begins, prompting most of the men to take off their shirts. Jillian and Michael head up to the bachelorette's bedroom. He tells her that she smells really good. She finds this "sexy." The rest of the boys worry that Michael is getting the rose. But Jillian has other plans. She gets in a car and drives off! "She just left?" an incredulous Michael asks. Sorry, bud. Chris arrives. "Jillian took off and she took the rose with her," he explains. "The race for Jillian's heart is on. It's up to you to find her." Only one member of the winning team will spend the evening with Jillian, however. The teams race to the driveway to find Mini Coopers lined up in a row alongside buckets of keys. The boys try to find the correct key to unlock a box that contains the key to start the cars (it's complicated), but eventually give up and just break the boxes. And they're off! Tanner P. and Michael find a map and get really, really excited. Eventually, the rest of the teams discover their maps. Wes, who is working with Brad, finds his partner annoying. "Oil and water," country-boy Wes explains. Jillian, meanwhile, has stopped by a jewelry store to choose some necklaces. A cell phone starts ringing in each car. It's Jillian! "Hey boys, how are you doing?!" Jillian asks. "It's all part of my master plan!" Once again, Tanner P. and Michael (shirtless, by the way) get waaaay too excited. "I peed a little bit in my bathing suit," Michael confesses. Gross. Eventually, Ed and Kyle see a rose flag outside of a restaurant. They head inside and start putting on tuxedos. Other boys arrive, put on tuxes, and roam the restaurant looking for clues. Brad finds a note instructing the boys to look for Neal (the jeweler). Brian and Kyle find the jewelry store first and choose one of four necklaces. The other teams eventually follow and pick their necklaces too. The search ends inside a bank vault where Jillian waits near a table for two. "I'm so nervous right now," she says with a giggle. Wes and Brad are the first to arrive. They present Jillian with her necklace. "One of you is going to have dinner with me in the vault," the bachelorette explains. But who? "This is the part I don't like," she says. "I'm going to have dinner with Wes tonight. Is that OK?" It's OK with Wes. Brad, on the other hand, isn't happy. "I won the race," he says. "This is complete #$%&!." Jillian takes her country bumpkin to dinner. She seems smitten when Wes promises to complete his country song for her. We can't wait. Back at the guest house, another date card arrives. Jake has been chosen for one-on-one time with Jillian. He is so happy that he does a little dance. Back in the vault, Wes explains that he has had "three girlfriends in my whole life." Jillian still worries that his musician lifestyle might lead to trouble. "I feel like I have to protect myself just a little bit," she says. Nonetheless, they kiss and she gives him the rose. So Wes moves into the mansion for the night while the rest of the crew heads back to the lowly guest house. Brad, master of the city map, is especially upset. The next day, Jake is "stoked" to be going on a date with Jillian. The two head to a country-western store. "I like country music, so we're going to get you to match me," Jillian explains. So poor Jake is forced to put on a series of awful cowboy shirts and cowboy hats. "He is FINE," Jillian gushes. Afterwards, they head to the House of Blues in Los Angeles. The bar is deserted, so Jillian does a "coyote ugly thing" and dances on the bar. "You do have nice legs," Jake comments. The pair continues to dance and giggle. "She could quite possibly be my soul mate," Jake tells the camera. He then plants a "wet one" on Jillian in the middle of her sentence. For some reason, she is utterly charmed. Suddenly, the stage doors open and a band appears. It's Martina McBride! "This is insane," Jillian squeals. "She is a country-music legend!" Jillian and Jake dance for awhile before Jillian presents her beau with a rose. "You're going to make me cry," Jake says. They continue to slow dance the night away while McBride sings. It's the perfect end to the perfect nationally-televised romantic evening. The next day, Jillian prepares for her second group date. The boys, in the meantime, get catty. "He's lacking a little testosterone," Tanner P. says of Juan. MEE-OWW! The date turns out to be a play date at a basketball court. "Shirts off boys!" Jillian says. "It's like every girls dream right now." The game begins. Each man attempts to show off their skills. Even Juan hits a shot or two. Simon, the English soccer coach, is admittedly terrible. A few air balls adequately demonstrate the point. Jillian leaves for a few moments to bring out some of her "friends." Those friends turn out to be the Harlem Globetrotters. "They're good and we're a bunch of white guys who played on an 8 ½ foot rim at the house for a few days," David says. Good point. The big game begins and it's predictably embarrassing. Jillian ends up hanging from the rim, only to be saved by Juan. "If I was going to hit someone, it would definitely be Juan," David tells the camera. Okaaaaay. Mike, in the meantime, decides to make an impression by donning a Speedo and diving into the ocean. "That was frickin' awesome!" Jillian gushes. Okaaaaay. Later, the group does shots of tequila -- except for Juan, who dumps his liquor. "I can't respect things like that," David says. "He's a clown." David then suggests tying Juan to a tree. "It's man code," he says. Is it us, or is this guy getting kind of scary? Jillian, meanwhile, chooses Juan for one-on-one time. "Your eyes are, like, so green," Juan gushes. "They're piercing." The pair kisses. Kiptyn is next on the private couch. Turns out he's normally the "heartbreaker, not the heartbreakee." The pair kisses. Rose time. Jillian gives the flower to Speedo Mike. The pair hugs. Probably not what Mike wanted, but he'll take it. Later that night, all 20 dudes arrive for the second cocktail party. Tanner P. quickly notices that Jillian is wearing open-toe shoes. "As we all know by now, I've got the foot fetish," he admits. Understandably, Jillian is a little freaked out. She then takes Jesse aside to find out a little bit more about the stud. "Before this, I had another opportunity to go and live in Italy," the wine maker says. "But as soon as I found you were going to be the next Bachelorette, I was in." She is charmed by the sacrifice. Bartender Robby makes Jillian his special drink, the "Rosmo" ("half Robby, half Cosmo"). But poor Robby barely has time to take a sip before Wes interrupts. "You're cheating on me already?" Wes jokes. The rest of the boys don't like the fact that Wes is being so aggressive when he already has a rose. "It seems like he came on the show to promote his music," Reid snipes. Chris arrives. "I do have a little surprise for you," he explains. "This is a ballot box. You're each going to vote for the one man you want sent home tonight." Mike, Jake and Wes, who have already received roses, will be excluded from the vote. "I'm curious to see who they're going to pick and who I have to pay special attention to," Jillian tells the camera. But before the voting can be completed, Brian decides to be the "center of the attention" by stripping down naked and jumping into the pool. "It was like a bad car accident," Jesse says. More importantly, though, what does Jillian think? We're not entirely sure, but she does hug the exhibitionist. Sometime later, Chris arrives with the votes. Julien receives the third most votes. David receives the second most votes. The gentleman with the most votes is Juan. "Juan, as of right now, you are going home," Chris says. "But, ultimately, this is about what Jillian wants." In other words, Jillian can save Juan by giving him a rose. So, basically, the vote means nothing. Jillian confirms as much by giving Juan the first rose. Others receiving a flower: Jesse, David, Ed, Sasha, Mark, Michael, Tanner P., Kiptyn, Reid, Robby, Tanner F. and Brad. And that's it. Julien, Brian (saying he was "hung like a light switch due to the cold weather"), Simon and Mathue say goodbye. So very sad.

Previously on "The Bachelorette:" A dude got naked; a few more dudes drove around Los Angeles looking for Jillian; country-boy Wes got a kiss, as did pilot Jake; David got really angry at Juan; and then the Bachelorette sent a whole bunch of suitors home, including naked guy. "Hung like a light switch," indeed. Now on "The Bachelorette:" Chris hangs with his bros in the bunk house, explaining the rules that they (and we) already know. "On the individual dates, if you do not get a rose, you go home immediately," he says. The first date card reveals that technology consultant Ed will be going on a one-on-one date. He arrives at a helicopter to discover a squealing Jillian. They hop in the chopper and take off for an "exhilarating" ride. "Big, strong, bulky, hunky Ed," Jillian gushes. The helicopter lands on the top of a building and we discover that the pair will be repelling 33 stories to the ground. "It was scary as hell," Ed tells the camera. Nevertheless, the dude soon finds himself dangling far above the street, slowly making his way down alongside his babe, who keeps repeating, "This is soooo awesome!" One dip in the pool later, the two are canoodling -- and swapping spit. "He's an extremely sexy guy," Jillian says. "I have a major crush on him." But the date isn't over yet. One wardrobe change later, Jillian and her crush are eating dinner atop a hotel. "I love that I popped your helicopter cherry," she says. Ed responds by explaining that he loves karaoke. He is also very focused on work. "Sometimes I let (work) take over," Ed says. "I want to be very stable and secure when I have a family." That's enough sweet talk for our bachelorette, who moves in for another open-mouthed kiss. Jillian then gives our stud a rose. Back at the house, we discover who will be heading out on the first group date: Reid, Wes, Mike, Michael, Tanner F., Brad, Mark, Robby, Tanner P. Kiptyn and Juan. Only four dudes will not be going on the group date, including angry David. "I don't want to be on a date with 11 guys and her," David says. "Especially if one of them is Juan." Date time. The football team plus cheerleader soon arrive on an Old West movie set. Turns out our bachelors will be actors for the day. "I love Westerns and today I want to see how these guys react to being thrown out of their comfort zones," Jillian explains. The script, in the meantime, calls for two of the men to recall "Brokeback Mountain." Michael is "going to be a gay dude in a scene with another gay dude." Mark, too. Shooting begins on scenes that strangely and somewhat disturbingly resemble porn plotlines. Brad is the first to plant one on our gal Jillian. "You've got badass and super badass, but I'm ultra badass," he says. Others aren't so impressed. "It's like he was kissing his sister," Tanner P. snorts. Robby claims that his kissing scene with Jillian rated a "50" on a scale of 1 to 10. Wes gets tired of watching his cowgirl get so familiar with the other cowpokes and steals her away. "Today is about acting," says Jillian, who worries that Wes is a little too possessive. It's soon time for the big gay scene. "I'll kiss for a rose, that's about it, Michael says. The director calls action and the two studs play Ennis and Jack, but stop short of kissing. Instead, they give each other a big, manly hug. "I was so proud of them," Jillian says. "I definitely didn't want to see them kiss, though." Later, the boys and girl gather for dinner and drinks. Reid gets a little one-on-one time, but is soon interrupted by Juan. Turns out Juan is feeling insecure about the men's dislike for him especially David. Speaking of, David is back at the guest house blowing a gasket. "I'd kill him," David says of Juan. "Because I hate him." Sheesh. A date card arrives: Sasha will be going on the next individual rendezvous. David isn't happy. Still. Back on the group date, everyone has adjourned to the hot tub. "Her feet looked so good that I wanted to put them in my mouth," Tanner P. says. Oddly, Jillian doesn't seem disgusted, or at all weirded-out by the financial analyst's fetish. One make-out session with Robby later, Jillian decides to give the rose to Robby. Then they all watch the "movie" that they spent the day shooting. "I felt like the leading lady," Jillian tells the camera. "Now I just need to find my leading man." Could it be Sasha? He's busy preparing to go on his big solo date. "I'm super pumped about it," says Sasha, who compares himself to a "wolf" among "sheep." The wolf and his prey head to a car museum. "I LOVE cars," Jillian says. "I LOVE anything with a motor." Jillian then hops atop the vintage autos so that Sasha can take sexy pictures (is this "Rock of Love" or something?). Photo shoot ended, Jillian and Sasha get into a Ferrari and go for a joyride. No word on whether this date popped Sasha's Ferrari cherry, though. The two then eat dinner while Sasha explains how he got in a nasty car wreck at age 18. The story makes Jillian "want to cry." Speaking of wanting to cry, the conversation continues. Sasha reveals that he has confessed love for three girls in his life -- two of whom were in high school (to be fair, Sasha was in high school at the time, too). "I feel like I'm searching for this mythical unicorn," he says. Jillian tells the camera that she worries mightily that Sasha has never really been in love. "I wish I could be that unicorn that he's looking for, but I'm not," she says. Translation: no rose for Sasha, who boards a bus to go home. Jillian is CRUSHED. "This is probably the hardest date that I've ever had," she says. Sasha, meanwhile, is "surprised" and "hurt." Back at the guest house, Wes "entertains" the fellas by playing the guitar and singing. Some yawn. Some complain about hearing the same song over and over. Some wonder if Wes is here "for the right reasons." As if to prove them wrong (or right), Wes waits until everyone is asleep, grabs his guitar and then serenades Jillian with his "finished" country song. "You are sooooo sweet," Jillian gushes. "You made me cry." Rose ceremony time. Ed feels like the process is "heating up." Robby thinks it's getting "real." David and Reid both feel like they need to get some quality one-on-one time. Reid is first. "I think you're somebody that I'm super interested in," she says. "No worries, mate." The two make out. David is next on the secluded couch. "I'm jealous of the other guys," he tells Jillian. "I'm kind of used to being the top dog." As if on cue, Juan interrupts and steals the bachelorette away. David is apoplectic. Still. "I can't let it go," he growls. "I have zero respect for Juan." We know, David. Tanner P. is up next. He worries that he isn't as flashy as Wes. He's just a regular guy ... who happens to adore feet. "I'm here to suck on some toes," he explains. "I totally want to make a connection with her feet." So Jillian puts her bare feet on his lap. "I want to kiss em, suck em, rub em," Tanner P. tells the camera. C-R-E-E-P-Y. Amazingly, Jillian says she is starting to "feel more comfortable" with the oddball. David, meanwhile, is freaking out. He finds Juan "unacceptable" for Jillian. Brad tries to talk his buddy down -- and then calls his buddy the "scariest guy in the house" to Jillian. David berates the other men for not telling the bachelorette that Juan is a jerk. At that moment, Juan walks outside. "Juan, go back inside!" David says. At that moment, Juan walks back inside. It's not worth the "drama," gentle Juan tells the camera. Kiptyn then gets some couch time with Jillian, explaining that he has never been dumped before. Jillian worries about this confession, but admits that she gets "butterflies" when she is with the surfer/ business developer. They make out. Back to the David-Juan drama. This time, Juan refuses to stay inside. "You faked a shot with us!" David says. "Stop being a cheese ass!" Having spoken his mind (again), David storms inside. "I'd kill him," he tells the camera. "I would like to beat the (EXPLETIVE) out of him." David then says he wishes that Jillian could have seen the exchange so she would know what kind of man he is and what kind of man Juan is. You sure about that, dude? After a heart-to-heart with Chris, Jillian spends some quality time with framed photos of the beaus. Alas, staring at cheese-ass pictures can only fill so much time. Jillian walks back into the living room to give away some flowers. Ed and Robby are already safe. Other rose earners include: Jake, Reid, Mark, Jesse, Tanner P., Wes, Juan, Michael, Kiptyn, Mike and finally David. Goodbye Brad and Tanner F. We hardly knew ye. "My character in that movie was a drifter and I plan on being a drifter," Brad pouts. See ya next week (not you Brad or Tanner F.).

We'll have the synopsis for you soon.

Last week on "The Bachelorette:" Jillian took the boys back to Canada. Angry David failed to seduce his woman (embarrassingly so). Mark got a rose and Tanner revealed that some of the dudes have girlfriends, although no one would admit to it. In the end, mortal enemies David and Juan were sent packing. This week on "The Bachelorette:" Jillian is still fretting over the rumor that some of the beaus have GFs back home. "I find myself second guessing myself," she explains to the camera. Meanwhile, the men are nervous too. "Now that we're down to the final 10, it's a lot less people," Jesse helpfully explains. "Things are getting real now." The boys gather around a table in beautiful, snowy Whistler to open the first date card. Break dance instructor Michael will get his first one-on-one date. He has been invited to "come fly" with Jillian. Michael is so excited, one suspects he might perform a totally dope spin move. "Everything is about to change," he promises. One excruciatingly long commercial break later, Jillian and Michael take to the hills where they discover a zip-line course over a gorge. "Oh my awesomeness," Michael says (as if channeling Bret Michaels). Jillian goes first and somehow manages to survive, which greatly impresses her date. "Zip lining is directly related to love," Michael pontificates. "You commit to it and you jump." For her part, Jillian says that Michael makes her feel 19 again. One tandem jump later, Michael notices a "spark of awesomeness in the relationship." Nineteen, indeed. One terribly awkward (but not to them) conversation about life goals later, the pair sit down for a champagne tasting. Jillian wants to see a "serious side" to Michael, who responds by explaining that he is a "cheesy ass" romantic. Next, Jillian has some tough questions. For example, why did Michael come on the show? He explains that he hasn't been on a date in eight months after a bad break up and this opportunity to find a girlfriend on national television felt like "fate." Jillian rewards his answer with a rose. They hug. Lame. Back at the hotel, the boys discover the second date card. Wes, Robby, Kiptyn, Tanner, Ed, Jake, Reid and Ed will be heading out on the next group date -- meaning Jesse gets the next one-one-one rendezvous. "I'm pumped," Jesse tells the camera. The boys then theorize on who might have a girlfriend. Could it be aspiring country star Wes? Tanner certainly seems to think so. Does our favorite foot-worshipper know something? The next morning, Jillian meets the boys outside in front of a row of snow mobiles. She chooses Robby to ride with her. "I had a choice to hold onto the handlebars or her waist," Robby tells the camera. Guess which one he chose? "This is every Canadian girls dream," Jillian says. Really? Later, Jillian and Robby spend some quality alone time together. Is the 25-year-old party boy ready for a commitment? He says yes. They hug. Lame. Next up for a one-one-one atop the snow mobile is Tanner. Jillian asks which guy has a girlfriend. Tanner stutters and sputters, but doesn't answer directly. "I'm not here to make enemies, so I'm just going to leave it up to Jillian," he says. Still, he tells the camera that Jillian should be very wary of country-singer Wes. Speaking of, Wes and Jillian relax in the snow for a bit. Wes manages to mention that he has a new CD coming out -- but insists that he was working on said CD long before coming on the show. The two make out. Whistler just got a little less frigid. But not all is hugs and kisses and snow mobiles. Jillian is still worried that some of the men are "here for the wrong reasons." Kiptyn notices that something is bothering Jillian. "We can see that you're visibly upset," he explains. Gushes Jillian: "I like you! Do you like me?!" Turns out Kiptyn is just so darn cute that our bachelorette can't even "process what he's saying." They make out. Awesomeness. One horribly awkward conversation between Jillian and Reid later, Ed and Jillian cuddle by the fire. But something is clearly wrong. Ed is distant. He explains that his boss back home has given him an "ultimatum." So now Ed must choose between work and love. Jillian doesn't make the choice any easier by giving a rose to the technology consultant. "Whatever you decide, I will completely understand," she says. The two hug it out. The following afternoon, Jesse arrives for his big one-one-one date. Turns out Jillian has planned a day of hanging out on a glacier. "I didn't even know that this was possible that you could land a plane on a glacier," Jesse tells the camera. On The Bachelorette, ANYTHING is possible, my friend. The pair arrives on the block of ice and commences frolicking in the snow. Jesse explains that the experience is even better than the time he got a Tonka truck for Xmas. Oddly, Jillian appears touched. They make out. Later, the couple leaves the glacier to enjoy drinks by the fire. Jesse explains that he wants to run a wine bar and have kids by the age of 35. Jillian would also like to have kids in the next three or four years. No pressure, dude. Jesse then tells Jillian that she has a "sweet, sexy, raspy voice" that he could "fall asleep" listening to. "It's arousing," he tells the camera. Speaking of, the happy faux couple head to the hot tub where Jillian gives Jesse a rose. They celebrate with a heavy, heavy make-out session. "I'm glowing," Jesse says. It's almost rose-ceremony time, but Ed has a decision to make first. "I don't want to have the conversation with her, but I know that I need to," he tells the camera. Turns out Ed had decided to leave and save his job. "This has been one of the hardest things I have ever done," he says. Jillian immediately begins to cry. "I really, really, really liked you," she weeps. "But I'm glad were figuring this out now." Adios, Ed. We hardly knew ya. After Ed leaves, Jillian continues to cry and be sad. She walks alone on a snowy mountain, symbolizing her inner struggle (or something). "Am I good enough for somebody to sacrifice that?" she asks no one in particular. And no one answers. Luckily, there's still nine more dudes back at the hotel. Perhaps she'll get over it soon. But Jillian is STILL crying when Chris arrives to start the rose ceremony. "Were you falling in love with Ed?" he asks. Says Jillian: "I can definitely say he's someone I was falling for big time." Chris, who asked the question in the first place, says that he figured as much from the tears. Jillian and Chris then dish about the dudes for a bit. Rose ceremony time. Chris explains that Michael and Jesse are already safe (thanks, Chris). The six roses go to: Reid, Kiptyn, Robby, Jake, Tanner and Wes. Mark is thunderstruck. "I've been cheated on four times, which is a lot," he tells the camera. Hence, he has "barriers" that take a little more time to be broken down. Jillian didn't have that time, though, so Mark departs. Until next week, America.
