Re: The Bachelorette 9 - Media Discussion Thread - Spoilers

Well, one of them has an epiphany. Des either forgets "the love of her life" in 2 days and accepts one of "the other guys" proposal or "the love of her life" realizes he loves her in return.

Or maybe her epiphany is that she sees Brooks more clearly and that he's not the guy for her after all. She doesn't have to be with anyone in order for that to happen.

The ring matches what Wet Paint said is the final 1 ring.  The L & S article doesn't mention the Final 2 guy's ring that is inscribed with 'this is forever'.

Not saying you are wrong at all, but what I read says something about "A ring that says this is forever as the circle symbolizes eternity." I didn't see the word engraved, though it might have been. I took it as symbolizes forever, rather that actually engraved.

This is what I recall when I read the article as well, but have not gone back since then to double check.

Just a quick point:

I didn't realize until last week's US Weekly cover story that the earlier Life & Style story was likely *not* a production leak, which is likely it was so vague, possibly inaccurate on details, and didn't mention anything about all the drama. So if Life & Style is the basis for saying Desiree is definitely engaged, then I'm not so sure.

I do realize that WetPaint has been claiming there was an engagement all along though. That's likely where Life & Style got the ring picture. I wonder though if, after getting the ring leak, WetPaint's writer assumed engagement? Maybe it's in fact a promise ring as some have speculated. From what I've seen, neither Love_Me nor sanlee has ever said Desiree was engaged to her F1, but I'm not sure about that.

I'm just speculating that there's some wiggle room to consider the possibility of no engagement at the end of this season. That would be the outcome that would be the least uncomfortable for people if there is an F1, no matter who the F1 may be, right?

And I haven't seen this week's tabloids, sorry- really hope somebody else is able to come through for you all. If there are strategic tabloid leaks this week (they would probably be to US Weekly again since it has run 2 Desiree cover stories so far this season), perhaps they will clarify the engagement issue.

That WetPaint article was pretty specific on that Final 2 guy's ring though.

Doesn't 'Oh, no they didn't' on livejournal put up what the rag mag covers are for the week?

Thanks, but I don't think that contradicts what I'm trying to say? I'm just addressing the issue of Desiree accepting a proposal from the F1, and speculating that an engagement may have been assumed by WetPaint based on the ring. I'm definitely not disputing the possibility that the F2 proposed and Desiree turned him down.

Or maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying.

ONTD puts up tabloid covers Wednesday afternoon, maybe around 3 or 4 PM Eastern. You can also find a very snarky and funny summary of tabloid highlights every Wednesday afternoon at Jezebel. Usually gets posted between 3 and 4:30 PM Eastern time.

I can say this much: there's no Desiree on the cover of US Weekly this week. It's a Kate Middleton cover with additional feature stories on Christina Aguilera, some Real Housewife facing criminal charges, and Lamar Odom and whichever Kardashian he married.

Edit: No Desiree on the cover of Life & Style or In Touch either.

[atem]

Doesn't seem that L & S has her on the cover either.

I guess it's due to how the article was worded about how 'romantic' the propsal was and blah, blah, blah.

SEASON FINALE

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTIC AND DRAMATIC NIGHTS EVER ON ABC,
ON THE SEASON FINALE OF "THE BACHELORETTE" MONDAY, JULY 27

With Time Running Out, Jillian Makes a Momentous Decision
That Will Change Her Life

"Episode 510" - In this gripping special conclusion, Jillian, the vivacious restaurant designer who began her search for love with 30 bachelors, has survived a dramatic, rocky road and found herself falling in love with two wonderful men, Ed and Kiptyn. As she prepares to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life, she invites the two remaining bachelors to the Big Island of Hawaii to meet her family. Then the men have one last chance to lay their hearts on the line, each trying to guarantee that he will be the one to get Jillian's final rose. But in the most dramatic and emotional conclusion in "Bachelorette" history, there is an unexpected confession that changes everything. Will Jillian find her soul mate? It's a decision that will change her life forever, on the Season Finale of "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, JULY 27 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Jillian continues her amorous adventures on the Big Island of Hawaii where her mom, dad, grandma and cousin arrive to assist her with one of the toughest decisions of her life. Not wanting to see her heartbroken again, her family grills both Ed and Kiptyn about their intentions and their feelings for Jillian.

After her family weighs in on her options, Jillian takes Ed on a panoramic helicopter ride above the Big Island's bubbling lava pits. Jillian is falling for this sensitive bachelor, but time is running out for her to make sure she has real chemistry with him. Landing in a lush jungle, the two enjoy a private lunch and a romantic dip in a private lagoon, but Ed must convince Jillian that they are compatible.

Next, Jillian takes Kiptyn on a romantic boat ride to a secluded beach, where the couple share a picnic lunch and frolic in the water. Their physical attraction is undeniable, but Jillian still needs to make sure that Kiptyn is prepared for a future with her. Will he finally share the depth of his feelings for her?

As the moment of decision approaches, Jillian is torn. She is in love with both men and knows she would have an incredible life with either one. A tearful Jillian wrestles with her emotions and is ready to make her ultimate decision, but at the very last minute one man's shocking change of heart makes Jillian question everything. Does she find her best friend, soul mate and future husband?

The two remaining men are:
Ed, 29, technology consultant from Chicago, IL.
Kiptyn, 31, business developer from Encinitas, CA.

Hosted by Chris Harrison, "The Bachelorette" is a production of Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton are the executive producers. This program is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. A TV parental guideline will be posted closer to air date.
