It sounds likes she is with the antithesis of ED now, so I hope it's forever for her and she isn't go to go back in a few years and write all about things she didn't see with the current guy.

Something tells me that this current guy will be the last one.  Talks and tweets regarding her future all she wants, etc.  They have been together for over 2 years now.

Jillian was head over heels in love with Ed and he was crazy in love with her, too. Love isn't enough and Ed wasn't ready. Although I would like to see him settled already, he's not and may never be. I do think Jillian continuual remarks about their relationship is an indication that she's still processing and after how many years?

Although Jillian's new guy insists, and she complies with no longer having any communication with Ed, I don't see a ring on her finger. Who knows, but could be that her new guy is more about control than commitment. Just saying ...

First off, that interview was a while ago now.  I don't see the relationship as being controlling on either end.  I see it as her finding someone that she thought she had in Ed but when he couldn't provide those things, she moved on and found someone that could.  I see her really happy and in a healthy relationship where they both support each other and both families.  That is something that she didn't have with Ed. Can I ask what you meant by the bolded?  She has made noise on twitter and other media outlets about how she'd really be glad to accept a proposal and ring.  In turn, I think it may be coming soon now that his other projects that he had on the go are finished, he has more time for them.

I like Ed, still do, but I was and am still a huge fan of Jillian.

Although I don't remember from where, it was sometime ago that she said --- in Jill fashion --- that her new guy said, 'what's the point', asked her to cut ties and she said she did. To me, that's a bit controlling, although in my head I can hear Dr. Phil (of the Dr. Phil show) concurring that she should cut ties.

I seriously expected to learn of a ring shortly after Jillian declared she was ready and can only imagine other fans did, too. That was a while back. IMHO, if it doesn't happen in a year, it's time to take notice especially when dating a younger man.

Anyway, those are my thoughts.

It's good that everyone has different opinions, but I do see that a ring isn't the end all with her. She's said endlessly that if she's in a good, loving relationship, that means more to her than a ring. As far as dating a younger man, that could really be a blessing. My husband is 11 yrs older than me, yea, there are obvious differences in our likes, etc, but on the other hand, sometimes one has to be older than the other to be at the same point in life.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that gorgeous man Brooks Forester will do it. Along with his buddies

Drew and Micheal G.

Yes and No, in regards to Brooks being on this show. I know I would love seeing him as the next Bachelor but that's only, if they give him the same respect they gave Sean. I so want him to find love. I think what ever guys are on this show are in the running for the Bachelor. This maybe a test run to see the fans response. What do you guys think?

That may happen, only if Brooks plays by their rules and not his. Sean was smart that way. I have doubts whether Brooks will walk the walk so to speak.

I really have doubts as to whether he will be on another bachelor related show again......

i definitely think BIP is a totally different format show than TB, with different aim and nature. While TB/Ette premise is for a"Fleissian Ever After "  , BIP would tend to be a simple temporary "Summer Fling(s)". There is no way they are gunning guy/gal doing BIP for the next lead. IMO

I wonder if they'd have ones on that haven't been on a show before?

I think they'll easily find a great bachelor from Andi's season. The guys look great. So probably not grooming Bachelor's but more looking for contestants that will bring in the most eyeballs - fan favorites and controversy types.

I really hope Brooks is on and just takes it as a silly, fun adventure and we get to see him have some fun. And I get to watch him on tv again. I'll be watching regardless because I'm a sucker for seeing old "characters" again, but if Brooks is on it will take my interest to a whole other level. I think he'd do it, actually so bring him on!!

I hope everyone will get a chance to see their favorites again too.

I would possibly watch depending on the what the promos show. If they show (hinted) nudity and close camera scenes (like what they showed with elisabeth Kitts and her bf at that time) then I will possibly be out. Didn't watch BP3 for exactly that reason (saw ed knocking his trunks off and decided to give the show a pass).

But if Drew is on I will be tempted either way though. Love Drew.

Arie is another guy I would like to see on screen. Not because I have any illusions to him finding a summer fling / romance but he is one of the funniest guys to grace our screens on this series and I think funny is sexy. He would make great viewing if he has the time in his career to consider being there.
Both Jef and Brooks bore me. Jef because of his leaning towards long winded producer prompted speeches and Brooks does squat for me. Both are yawn inducing IMO.

Let me clarify, there is no way my wanting to see Brooks Forester do Bachelor, I'm sure he's done

with that. Anyway he was asked, and refused. He plays by the rules well. As Relaxing said we want

to see him have "Summer Fun" Isn't that something Arie does Jack Squat for me. Different strokes.IMO

I've not heard that he was asked and refused. I don't think he was asked but do believe he wouldn't do the show. He was miserable on Des' show. 

I'll watch even if some of the people I can't stand are on because it's like of like watching a tv train wreck.

I forgot all about the men from Andi's upcoming season. Brooks has left a soft spot on my heart, and I so hope, he'll find that someone special and settle down. And if he does do BIP, that someone will spark his interests.

If Zack's on, I'm watching!  I'm going to guess for fun.
BP1: 19 contestants
BP2: 18 contestants
BP3:  21 contestants (4 were fans)

They'll probably pair down for BIP since they have to fly them international.  So, 16 contestants at most.  But, I'm putting in one alternate if they go to 18.

8 guys:
Brooks
Jef
Zack
Robert (Des's season)
Michael G.
3 guys from Andi's season
Drew or Graham (alternate)

8 girls:  (This is harder because I didn't watch JPablo's season)
Courtney
Jacklyn
Ashlee
Sarah Herron
Lucy
Kat Hurd  (I can't get out of my mind Jimmy Fallon calling her cat turd)    
2 other girls JPablo's season
Tierra (alternate)

I don't really see Michelle Money doing it again.  Or Graham.  But, since they're both single and well liked by most of Bachnation, maybe they'll make it.  And, I know Arie's high on the list and I love him, but I really hope he doesn't do it.
