Wes and Jillian go for a bike ride, and then sit down for some food and beer. Jill asks Wes if he would ever move to Vancouver, or anywhere but Austin, and he says without words, "HELLLLL NAH." Jill notices how distant he is, and how he hasn't kissed or tried to be close to her. He continues to avoid her questions, even pointing out a one-legged bird to do so. How funny, because he doesn't have a leg to stand on.  At dinner, Jillian is still worried about Wes being distant, and about the whole girlfriend thing, and about him being there for his career, and OH DEAR GOD WOMAN JUST GET RID OF HIM ALREADY.

But she's got to try, or at least go through the motions, so she asks him about this "ex," to "clear the air." He says that if he was only there to sell records, he would have gone home already, because "any publicity would be good publicity"...wait what? That is an argument for staying as long as possible. OOPS! He also slips and calls the girl (Laurel) his girlfriend. DOUBLE OOPS! Jillian is in frustrated, exhausted, drunken tears at this point, just when the envelope arrives. Wes hilariously, stupidly, maybe drunkenly asks Jill to get it on with him. HAHA. "Let's skip it," she says coldly. She sends him on his way, and his fate is all but sealed. Hopeful thinking on my part? Or is it the Chris Harrison voiceover: "Will Jillian FINALLY send Wes home?" Tonight, the man speaks for all of us.

Rose Ceremony

The tense guitar music sets the scene of a dramatic, rhapsodic telenovela. Mi corazon! Es El Bacheloreta! Yo quiero una cerveza. (Thus concludes MY Spanish knowledge. Not much better than Reid's or Jillian's.)

As Jillian arrives in what my roommate called a "hooker flapper" dress, she says she's never been more sure of a decision. Meanwhile, Wes assures the other men if he's gone, they can take comfort in the knowledge that he'll be "back home having lots of sex."

Jillian gives roses to:
Ed
Reid
Kiptyn

No surprises here. Wes says goodbye to the guys, and Jill walks him out.
 
Sad as I am for her catching on so late in the game, I respect how Jillian is glad she made the call at her own pace, and she is 100% confident now that Wes is hiding something.

Well, he's not hiding much anymore. In the car, he proceeds to drink in the backseat (guessing he gets this special privilege because it's not legal in North America?) and badmouths the other men while giving some real gems of soundbites, including "the first guy ever to make it to the top 4 with a girlfriend," and "my acting days are over." What a peach.

A quick look at the BuddyTV Bachelorette Twitter should sum up all my feelings about this:

 Yep, that about covers it. Hit the road, Wes, and dontcha come back (to my TV screen, or my radio) NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE!

Next week: The remaining three head to Maui with Jill. Muka laka hiki, comeonyouwannalayme, pass the poi, Mahalo! (+200 points if you know where that quote is from! No Googling!)
