Jillian and Ed Split/The Bachelorette
Jillan with that Ed, that has obviously been paid off by the producers
I just heard about this split today. The way I found out honestly is because last week my website received a lot of traffic and I kept trying to figure out what it could be since I don’t really write here that much for reality shows. Well, soon found out that Jillian and Ed broke up. I had written quite a bit on Jillian’s season of the Bachelorette…so I guess it’s still listed on Google. That’s not what’s important. What I wanted to say to others out there is, how sad I was to find out the news. I really like those two as a couple. From the first impression rose, to Ed’s departure to go back to work, to his returning, I really liked their personalities.We are always quick to condemn reality stars and to make fun of their break-ups, but why would anyone do that? Like Jake and Vienna for instance. I dislike Jake’s personality, however, I feel for him as a person and I’m sure he will be just fine.
Jillian and Ed have been together over one year, so their relationship did stand the test of time, with relocations to Chicago, and all of that behind the scene gossip with Ed in the beginning. I’m sure each will plunge back into their own identies and make it just fine.
However, as a viewer of that one special season, I find myself feeling like an ‘era has ended’ in reality t.v. somehow with the demise of this couple. Classy and sophisticated, these two looked like a match and I kept waiting for the wedding on ABC. Call me a sap, call me what you want, but I really thought Jillian was top noch, and next to Ed they sort of rocked it as a ‘hot couple.’
Now there are these stories about her having to return the ring. If it’s not bad enough they must endure a public split, people are making fun of that part of the equation, too. I’m not sticking up for reality t.v. I am however asking those viewers that sit there so ardently and judge as a view to remember they are just normal couple with feelings, too. Good luck to both parties. If I had to choose a side (I haven’t really dug into why the broke up, but my imagination can pretty much fill in the details), but of course, it would be Jillian Harris. The best bachelorette I’ve seen ever on ABC. Good luck Jillian. Machel Penn Shull
