Ha...funny, I'm a Libra as well - and true to form - indecisive (except when it comes to love for some strange reason....I have the hardest time deciding where to go out to dinner, but knew my husband was The one at hello ;) ) . I'll try this rust/orange-ish color (unless it's been taken - I'll check.)
Thank you, Nadya, for putting this blog together. So nice to be able to share our thoughts without worrying about someone dissecting and attacking them.
So, how many days later and I'm still wondering when she'll realize that she let the wrong one go as I think a lot of us are. Not that I wish pain for her...I really like Jillian. I think it's been said before, but she might have been worried about going outside of her comfort zone with respect to what her perfect guy was on paper. How many times have we heard her say she falls for guys who are tall, dark, and handsome? And...I remember her saying something in an interview after Jason sent her home that she thought he was perfect and one of the reasons she listed (albeit not first or second) was he lived in Seattle (close to Vancouver). Chicago's a lot close than Philly.
Also, I feel like part of it is that she senses he feels that she is somewhat out of his league - does that make sense? Maybe it makes her feel more secure, I don't know. Kind of like when Ed said during their FS time something to the effect of "she's smokin' hot, I can't believe she's into me..." Not that she heard that during the taping, but maybe she sensed he felt that way. Reid openly admitted that she wasn't his normal type and probably didn't make her feel like he was lucky just to be with her. Not sure if I'm wording all of this well - because I don't think Jillian feels this way because she's cocky, but more out of an insecurity. Some of you are great at wording things, so you might have better luck expressing this thought :)
Ok, so a couple of random things...
- I didn't watch Deanna's season, but just found a youtube video of her & Jesse's interview with Chris Harrison after her season ended and she did look just as bubbly and positive as Jillian does now with Ed. I think they have to feel and show that, otherwise they would be raked over the coals even more than they are now. That also means though, that when they start settling down into reality, she may start double guessing her decisions. I think even if she chose Reid, she might do that. Having strong feelings for multiple people at once coupled with the stress of the show and being dog tired can't be condusive to making the right decision that affects the rest of your life. Hence the success rate of the Bachelor and Bachelorette --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhKjgX_4ncs&NR=1
- I was reading the Real Simple magazine today (April 09 issue) and saw this cute article about indecisiveness...which made me think fondly of our wonderful Reid. I can't find the article online, but found something similar --> http://www.realsimple.com/work-life/life-strategies/make-good-decisions-10000001711370/
- I close tonight with my favorite YouTube video of J & R...it brought tears to my eyes again today - I must stop watching it (but I love the song so much!) --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wTCaASeHCI
Good night to all!

JFFHT - I too love that video. It's probably my favorite and I've got it bookmarked along with several others. But I still have a hard time watching them. Still makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed your post and agree that Jillian is quite insecure but I bet they are together a year before it falls apart. I think she's stubborn too and won't give up as easily as Deanna.
