Maui looks beautiful and so does Jillian in her bikini. As the show opens, she draws a heart in the sand with a J and a question mark.
Oh boy … First date is Kiptyn, and she explains that 10 percent of her is uneasy about him. Jillian takes Kip on a ropes course, because she wants to make sure that he can be there for her. They kiss a lot. I’ve noticed that there are too many talking-head chats breaking up the action and narrating their thoughts -- this may become a problem.
Their date continues to a deck overlooking the ocean, where they consume various fruits and wine.
The evening portion of the date takes place at the top of the Sheraton Maui. They have dinner and Jillian tries to push him to reveal his flaws. Kip says he has issues with patience. I know mine is certainly being tested, as this date seems rather dull to me.
She admits her fear of falling hard for him, making her vulnerable. I perk up when Jillian pulls out another nightcap card out of her hat … now it gets interesting. This time, Jillian and Kip are taking the fantasy suite key and they proceed to the bed. Fade to black as they leave us guessing.
Reid is next, and Jillian is sporting a beachball (singular -- get your mind out of the gutter, guys). She tells the camera that she’s concerned about his ability to communicate. He tells her he’s falling for her, and, wait … did she just say “ditto”? Kiss of death, dude. Not a good sign.
They take a helicopter ride, which Reid equates to being in heaven. The pilot tells them that he’s an ordained minister that marries people in helicopters. Oh-kay … They land and have a picnic by the ocean. Discussion turns to how rushed this whole process is. (Duh.)
Reid admits he’s a little hesitant, and their communication seems somewhat stilted. Jillian tells the camera that time may run out on her and Reid. Their relationship seems forced.
After the commercial, it’s dinnertime on the beach. Jillian brings up the subject of who would move where for whom. Reid feels pressure and says he’s not sure if he would propose to her. He admits he’s indecisive and that it’s a problem.
Criss Angel shows up and makes the nightcap card appear out of the sand (not really, but if he did at least it would bring some life into this very dull episode so far) and they decide to use the fantasy suite. Reid keeps circling around his true feelings and can’t say the “L” word. Next thing we know, they’re in the hot tub!
Are they naked? Damn bubbles.
Ed is up, and they’re going out on a catamaran. Ed says she looks so hot that he wants to attack her. Swim time, and the underwater cameras get some nice shots of Jillian. She tells the camera that she couldn’t wait to “wrap her legs around him.”
