Jillian Harris


Tonight we will get to watch the first episode of The Bachelorette starring Bachelor cast of Jillian Harris. When Chris was asked how they plan to top the most dramatic rose finale that Bachelor Jason Mesnick had when he proposed to Melissa and then later dumper her for Molly Malaney. Chris said that their intention is not to top and rose ceremonies and that the show is successful because each person is brought into the scenario and it just unfolds from there. He did have this to say though

Quote:

Halfway through the season, there is something different that happens with Jillian that we’ve never faced before. You don’t plan for it, you don’t script it -- because you can’t.

He also told us that Jillian starts out with 30 men vying for her attention instead of the usual 25, which also makes the show different from the others from the first night on.

Chris also had to say, referring to Jason's heartbreaking decision last season

Quote:

I’ve got to be honest, though, when I came into that first rose ceremony that night, I was not ready. Jason really took a lot out of everybody. I know people look at us and they’re like, oh you’re just producers or whatever and you really don’t care. But we do care. It was emotional for all of us whether you liked it or not, it took a lot out of us. I came in that first night thinking, man, I don’t know if I can do this again. But when I walked in and saw Jillian, she jumped up smiling and gave me a big hug, and I was ready to go. She just has that energy about her.

I am very excited for the show tonight!

So far my favorite for Jillian is that pilot guy, he seems really nice and sincere. When watching the previews for the upcoming season did you see how it says like 3 of they guys have girlfriends, one guy is just there because he wants to be the next bachelor, and that the country music singer is just there to promote his music. Should be an intense season, can't wait!
