"THE BACHELOR: BUBYE JILLIAN BUBYE!"

Beautiful rocky cliffs, insane bungee jumping, and a relaxing boat ride (and no episode would be complete without three bikini clad bachlorettes making an appearance!) were on the agenda in breathtaking New Zealand on this exciting episode of 'The Bachelor'.A stunning backdrop of lush greenery made for a scenic view that looked like a giant exotic postcard across my television screen.

Unfortunately, it was also here that was the end of the road for our very own Canuck girl 'Jillian'. It was a tearjerker of a goodbye and Jason too, shed plenty of H20 after her car drove off. What real raw emotion if I ever saw it (of all the bachelors to date none have been so emotionally attached to each of the ladies that were sent home). I can finally say it put the 'real' back in 'reality' television.

I thought I had it all figured out in my head last week (especially since I got 'Naomi' right) on who wasn't going to receive a rose. This week I could have sworn it was going to be 'Melissa' (with the whole 'didn't meet the parents' thing from the week before which mind you is clearly still bothering Jason) to be sent home but I was wrong. I guess when I kept hearing 'Jillian' saying she was looking for her 'best friend' Jason had other things on his mind. The word 'passion' was mentioned but after their little romp in the hotub at the winery I thought she was a keeper. Guess not! I still have this sneaky suspicion that 'Molly' will be the one left standing (that is if 'DeAnna' doesn't really screw Jason up with more mind games...Ahhh the little twists and turns of reality shows at their finest eh?!).

I must admit it was a nice touch for Molly to have turned the tables on our boy 'J' and asked him to spend the night with her. Way to go girl grabbing the bull by the horns! Looks like someones been watching all 'The Bachelor/Bachellorette' seasons! Nice homework there 'Mol'!

Next week it's the 'Bachelorette's Tell-All' and it'll be interesting to see all the ladies come face to face with each other (and Jason) after all this time. In two weeks it's the grand finale when 'M2' (Molly and Melissa) meet J's family and most importantly his son Ty. That'll make it close to making his decision on who gets to be the new 'Mrs. Jason Mesnik' or so because so far no one's made it even close to the alter except Trista and Ryan.

My money's on 'Mol' but 'Mel' will be a strong contender. But on the off chance that Jason does pick 'Mel', their wedding planner might suggest the theme to their nuptials be something along the lines of 'Meet the Parents'. Yikes!
