Re: Reid Rosenthal - Bachelorette 5 - Discussion

Reid is still my favorite out of all the guys ever been on the show.

I had a feeling things were not that great anymore with Kristen for a while. It seemed they were living their separate lives. They didn't spend Xmas together, which already seemed odd to me. When Reid took a last minute decision to join the bachelor reunion I had a feeling something was wrong.

He's been in touch a lot lately with TPTB on twitter, so who knows what's in store for him. He has rejected The Bachelor before, so I don't know if he would be interested now. They asked Brad back after a few years, so that shouldn't be a problem I guess. I think he still as a big fanbase.

Do you mean cool and different as in photoshopped in some way, or different as in where he looks like James Bond? :

All the Rilly fans, I'm with you. Not sure it would work, though, given that Jill might always carry a flame for Ed, and that Reid seems so calm albeit neurotic (I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that about him).

Reid very well might end up on BP3. And I'll be happy for it, cheering him on to the finish line.

I always got the impression that Reid loved Kristen a little bit more than she loved him. At least, he can also say that he dated a model. Kristen is young and wants to establish a Hollywood career. He made a lot of progress, though, since he ended up in a committed relationship.

P.S. Wow! to all the avis of Reid. I forgot just how handsome he is!

Oh.em.geeeeeee. Jillian, this is your second chance!!!! :thud

Jilly Bean and Honey Bear were my very, very favorites until Jash so I don't even know what I would do with myself if she woke up and went for it this time. Seriously, she likes Stag and Reid is the older, more settled, more mature version, the right version IMO.

I chuckled watching the last "Women Tell All" when both he and Jillian's ex Ed appeared on screen... along with Ali's Frank and Mister Sunshine Ryan. It was amusing just thinking of the "oooh rahs!" and "get off of my screen!" comments that were probably spoken at the various times. With Frankie, who thinks he looks like Reid but is lacking his polish, I worried he might turn blue or something because he couldn't stop talking in his less-than-a-minute segment.

Can't even speculate what these guys would be like on Bachelor Pad. Actually we might not see much of Ed on screen, once he hits on the cocktails. Guess Kacie would have to be on just so we can see if "anything" is there between her and Ryan... along with "over-analyst" Jenna trying to analyze perfectly.

Not a fan of casting unknowns for BP. That just makes it a lame copycat of Big Brother.

Jake, Ben and Emily fit the puppet mold perfectly.

and was his for the taking if he wanted it - he had stipulations TPTB didn't want to abide by. I couldn't imagine that changing. Especially how the franchise has devolved over the last couple of seasons.

Yesterday Reid still had the photo of him and Kristin on his Facebook page, so thinking that he probably didn't end it. I hope he doesn't get in with this franchise, seriously, I can't imagine what Fleiss and Millsy would do to him.

I have to agree with those who said that they always had doubts about Reid and Kristen really working out. He did seem to truly love her, and they were together over 2 years (and she didn't just "disappear"), but I always suspected that the age and cultural differences would ultimately be a problem, and once she decided to pursue a career in Hollywood (which I can't blame her; girl is beautiful and she only just turned 25), it probably became too apparent that they were on different pages.

I bet Reid learned a lot from the relationship. It's up to him of course, but I'd love to see him meet a nice, non-famous woman and settle down, as opposed to doing BP3 (yuck!), or even becoming the Bachelor, much as I'd enjoy watching him on either. I've always liked thinking of him as a cut above the typical Bachelor Nation wannabes, and I'd hate to see him as just another one, and probably end up having my image/illusion of him somewhat tarnished.

Did they just recently break up? I feel like I am missing something here. I thought there was a chance that he might be the host of Bach Pad and not a contestant or was I mistaken?
