The Bachelorette Jillian Harris: "I kept Wes too long"

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:26:00 +0000

The Bachelorette Jillian Harris dishes about the last episode in her latest blog
--here are some of her thoughts on the overnight dates, Ed and Wes:

EEEEK!!! OMG, YOU GUYS!!! I have been ITCHING to write THIS blog since day one!! YES, I did it (sent Wes home)! I don’t even know where to start with this one. I think I will keep it mostly to the Wes scenario, as this has been the bone of contention for sometime.

About the overnight dates and Ed:

"DEFINITELY knew I was NOT ready for overnight dates in Spain. I knew they were an integral part of finding your lifelong partner, but I just wasn’t ready! I was nervous to accept the overnight date with Ed because of the “insinuations” that go with that, but I feared that we didn’t have enough time to catch up during the day. I knew that if Ed were to have a shot at this, he needed A LOT of time to get caught up with the others. I’m not sure if this is appropriate to say or not … but I have to tell you … We really did stay up ALL night till 7 a.m. talking about everything under the sun — every guy’s dream of the “fantasy date” … not. But it did make me realize how serious he was about coming back showing me he cared."

About Wes:

"So … Wes! I know I kept him for WAY too long. I FULLY admit this. Someone on here wrote the truest way to explain it — it’s like you’re watching a horror movie that you starred in … And all your friends are yelling at you, “He’s behind you! He’s behind you!” Ha. There are so many ways to explain my connection with Wes. I cringe to admit this, but I truly was blinded by many of Wes’s “good qualities” for the better half of his stay that I refused to see all the red flags (and there were a lot of them!).

The thing is, for the last 10 years of my life, I have been surrounded with everything “urban,” my adult life has been all about my work and being in the city and I had this fantasy of being with someone that reminds me of where I came from, you know, camping, driving down the old dirt road, my guy working on the truck out in the driveway, listening to country music, cracking a beer on a Sunday evening on the old front porch … Scrreeeechhhh! What? Jilly! You have been listening to too many honky-tonk songs! Ha! Wes defined that fantasy to a tee, though. And the others were such city boys, I had such a hard time letting that long-time fantasy go.

I still don’t know if Wes had a girlfriend, but I do think Wes was there for his career. Along the way, we did build a friendship but his presence on the show was a disservice to both of us. It made me look like a fool and like I had bad judge of character, and it made him look like someone he is not. I guess this is what you lay out on the line when you sign up for something like this, right? Ultimately, you are all still entitled to your opinion, but I am a huge supporter of forgiveness and I hope you can give Wes a break and lay this one to rest."

Drama on "The Hills" Set: Audrina on the Outs

noreply@blogger.com (realitytv) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:20:00 +0000

Looks like 'The Hills' will continue to bring alot of drama as Audrina Patridge is said to be on the outs with the other cast members of the reality-TV show. “I don’t really get along with Audrina,” Jayde Nicole, girlfriend of The Hills’ Brody Jenner, tells Life & Style.

“Kristin [Cavallari] doesn’t get along with Audrina, I don’t think anyone on the show really gets along with Audrina.” Jayde, who appears in several future episodes of the show, can’t say why there’s drama on the show, although she thinks it may have to do with Kristin’s arrival. “Everyone just welcomed Kristin,” Jayde says, “and loves [her]. Maybe Audrina’s jealous of that. I don’t really know why they have this big beef.”

The House Guests will be shocked to learn that they will be playing the game in one of four familiar high school cliques - popular, athletes, brainiacs and off-beats. They will compete for food, safety from eviction and luxury prizes as part of their clique.

They will also be surprised to discover that a mystery 13th House Guest is coming to BIG BROTHER to join the game and give an advantage to one of the cliques.

In addition, the BIG BROTHER House Guests will live and compete in a house that has been transformed into a mean, green, eco-friendly living machine. For the first time, the House Guests will be made fully aware of the amount of waste they create, and will be required to sort, recycle and place all food items in an outdoor manual compost center, as well as an indoor automatic composter.

BIG BROTHER is executive produced by Emmy Award winner Allison Grodner, Rich Meehan and Scott Einziger in association with Endemol U.S.A.
