It&#039;s human nature. We like to think there is some girl out there who makes worse decisions with men than we do. Who cares if it&#039;s real or not? I don&#039;t know these people personally, so to me it doesn&#039;t matter if they&#039;re actors or real people. We all watch sitcoms and tv dramas...why is this any different? I dont have a vested interest in Jillian Harris&#039; happiness. How can I? I don&#039;t know her.And for me, personally, I&#039;m watching this season because I think Reid is cute. That&#039;s it. I like to look at him, so I tune in. I&#039;m a girl, what can I say?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve never doubted it was all for the sake of drama,  but the reality here is that people like to see other people bahaving badly and making themselves look foolish.

Steve, I have to agree with the others- what has happened to your wonderful witty funny blogs that I used to enjoy so much?  Now it just seems your sole purpose on here to try to one-up the Bâ€™ette producers and Chris Harrison.  But yet then in your interview w/ Deanna, Jeremy and ditsy Holly, you totally kiss Chrisâ€™ butt and say â€œChris, please let me interview you.â€  I think all the infamous publicity you received last season with the Jason debacle has gone to your head.  Now itâ€™s all about you being friends with Jeremy and Deanna and Holly and being a part of the â€œcliqueâ€.  That interview was so silly bye the way, that the last 30 mins shouldnâ€™t have even been aired.  You seem to like to show off that you are â€œfriendsâ€ with these people (2 of whom youâ€™ve never even met in person).
As far as Jake and Wes, I donâ€™t know what to say.  I donâ€™t think Wes is as innocent as you portray him to be.  Sure he probably got some bad editing, but I still think heâ€™s pond scum.  Jake seemed like an honest, straight-forward guy so why would he tell lies about Wes?  I imagine he got paid for coming back last week, but I donâ€™t think he has it in him to outwardly lie about Wes.  Plus thereâ€™s a new article over on EW.com with jake again asserting that Wes told him several times he still had a gf Laurel and that â€œJillian wasnâ€™t the girl for him.â€ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b132261_bachelorette_jake_spills_more_dirt_on.html.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b132261_bachelorette_jake_spills_more_dirt_on.html.&lt;/a&gt;
Thereâ€™s just way too much info in there for me to think Jake is lying.  Jake seems like too honest of a person to continue to lie to the media if what he is saying about Wes was made up.  Even if letâ€™s say Wes purposely fed him this info for big ratings, I still believe Wes told Jake this info.  My only question is why Jake waited until last week to tell Jillian if he knew about it all along.  He could have just pulled her aside when he got axed at the rose ceremony and told her.  Now in that case I think the producers told him to hold his â€œjuicy informationâ€ in order this week in order to make a bigger impact, not to mention boost the ratings.  Heck, I enjoyed it.  I love drama!
&lt;/blockquote&gt;I want to personally retract all the rude things I posted in the first paragraph of this post. I wrote them in haste on a very bad night I had and it wasnâ€™t fair to reality steve who has always been a nice person to me and I always enjoy his columns. I would delete it myself, but there is no delete or edit button on here. SORRY REALITY STEVE!!!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote

The left side of her shorts are soaking wet when they &quot;greet&quot; each other for the first time. SURPRISE, that&#039;s the side of her shorts she soaks &quot;later&quot; in the date when her and Ed are getting it on in the fountain.This show is clearly edited. I don&#039;t get how someone can say Wes didn&#039;t get poned. He Maybe it&#039;s because I know people who have been on reality shows, but I thought it was common knowledge that they could edit you to make you look pretty much however they want.I mean, they can get people to buy most anything. Imagine if they said Reid was racist. If they get footage of three people talking and laughing with Reid then show a shot of silence, and then get 2 of those people to say that Reid was telling a racist joke...we&#039;d believe it! They can completely fabricate things - not only take off the beginning on your sentance to alter it or splice your together words. I imagine Wes said &quot;It&#039;s not like I&#039;m here just for publicity, if that&#039;s the case I&#039;d be all... I&#039;ve made it 6 shows, I sang my song...etc&quot;Anyone who doesn&#039;t think they butcher this is an idiot. Do I think Wes is a great guy? No! However, everyone gets edited.The other option is that he went on the show to ACT like a jerk behind her back in trade for the publicity.Does anyone else get the feeling that Ed is reading cue cards when he&#039;s talking to Jillian?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FIRST OFF&#8230; for those who don&#8217;t believe the show is edited or doesn&#8217;t contain scripted scenes, please watch this past week&#8217;s episode and note ther begining of Jillian&#8217;s date with Ed.
