Next Monday on the season finale of The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris finally makes her choice. Ed Swiderski and Kiptyn Locke are the last men standing.
Except for the ousted Reid Rosenthal, who - Bachelorette spoiler alert - looks poised to return and possibly propose to Jillian in a surprising twist.
The promo that ran after this week's "The Men Tell All" show - at which Reid was MIA - shows him returning to Hawaii for another shot at Jillian.
What does Jillian say about who returns and what happens?
"I can't really tell you too much," Jillian tells ET. "I watched the tease for the finale, and I can tell you it is an exciting episode and a crazy day. I can't tell you who comes back, but it is all very traumatic, unfortunately."
Traumatic? That doesn't sound good. Nor do some of her other comments. Maybe she is just a good bluffer, but Jillian Harris makes no reference to being engaged, or even being in a relationship with a great guy or anything like that.
Again, she could be playing it cool. But it's only about "her decision."
"All I can say is that after all the drama is over, and I make ONE LAST FINAL decision, I hope you all are as thrilled with the outcome as I am," she wrote in her last blog. "You have no idea how excited I am to let this secret out!!!"
Then: "I struggled with a lot of decisions. Again, I admit that I’m human. But I stand by my statement that I am very happy. I have had two months living with my decisions and am still very happy with them. That is what matters right?"
Get the feeling she is pulling a Brad Womack here?
Jillian even admits having second thoughts about getting engaged, and she talks to her dad about it. He told her that accepting a proposal from the man of her choice did not mean that she has to walk down the aisle immediately.
He pointed out to Jillian, "Getting a proposal in this scenario signifies for me that you are ready. Let's have a proposal, get engaged and start a life together and a year from now see where things are at and then get married."
"My dad was very right," Jillian adds.
That said, Jillian does rate the final three men:
"I would definitely have to say for Reid, it would be his sense of humor and just his quirkiness. Kiptyn is just so genuine and has such a huge heart."
"With Ed, I would have to say it is his balance. He has a good balance in life between personal, business and family. He is a well-rounded individual."
What do you think? Is this all a smoke screen, or does Jillian Harris not pick anyone at all? Who, if anyone, will win The Bachelorette?

Jillian and Ed make a great couple. And he doesn't have a girlfriend that is a big lie.

JILLIAN and a Ed are a great couple i hope that she makes the right choice and i hope she is going to be happy with that choice

My guess is, she doesn't pick anyone! Kiptyn had commitment issues, Ed "said" he loved her, but there was the whole "performance" issue and Reid just wasn't ready! I never thought Jillian would make a good bachelorette and I wasn't wrong. She was perceived as very needy and I honestly believe she still likes Wes!! Dumb, dumb, dumb...

I really want her to be with Kiptyn, they seem like they have alot in common. He is really cute and a real gentlemen. I liked Jake too and I was really mad when she sent him home. I like to watch these shows but it makes you mad when they don't work out like you hope and then the relationship is over before it really starts. What a waste. Good Luck Jillian I hope you make the right decision.

Jake should be the next Bachelor.
As far a Jillian is concerned, I think she chooses Kiptyn. She has had a huge crush on him from the beginning and he is the total package. He will challenge her and make life interesting. They can edit these show anyway they want. I think they try to throw you off of what is really going on. Either way nobody dies so life goes on...

I believe that she still wants Wes.
