Jillian Harris' 'The Bachelorette' Debut
Jillian Harris only finished third on Jason Mesnick's list of romantic prospects, but now she gets to make the choices when the new season of "The Bachelorette" debuts.
Turnabout is fair play when Jillian begins her run as "The Bachelorette," when ABC premieres the new season with a two-hour special episode on Monday, May 18 at 9 p.m., and she will have her choice of the dozens of men lining up for her attention -- and the opportunity to get a red rose.
Back when she was dumped by Jason, ET asked Jillian if she would be the next "Bachelorette." She told us, "Part of me says, 'Jill, stop while you are ahead. Now that you have done this and learned a lot about yourself, do it the old-fashioned way.' The old-fashioned way hasn't really been working for me, so the other part of me says, 'Jill, just go ahead and do it. You are an adventure seeker. Give it a shot and maybe you can find him that way.' I think I have to sleep on it -- and maybe have a glass of wine."
An instant fan favorite on "The Bachelor," the 29-year-old restaurant interior designer will get to choose from among a group of the country's most eligible bachelors and is confident that she can find the love of her life on the series.

"BACHELOR" FAN FAVORITE JILLIAN HARRIS GETS A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE WHEN SHE BECOMES "THE BACHELORETTE," PREMIERING MAY 18 ON ABC
Jillian Harris, the intelligent, independent, passionate woman who fell just short of her goal -- hoping that Jason Mesnick could be her best friend, soul mate and future husband on the just completed hit season of "The Bachelor" -- will have her own opportunity to find true love, starring in the fifth edition of "The Bachelorette," which will premiere MONDAY, MAY 18 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. The announcement was made last night on "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, Part 2" special.
An instant fan favorite on the last edition of "The Bachelor," Jillian, 29, a restaurant interior designer who currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, came oh-so-close to being the woman Jason selected. She scored points with him the first night she met him. Finding a creative new way to "grill" a guy, Jillian disclosed her unusual theory about discovering a lot about a man from the condiments he puts on his hot dog, and she immediately put Jason to the test. Her adventurous spirit and resourceful, resilient manner of handling a stressful family situation impressed Jason, who fit in with her wonderful and warm family. He invited her to New Zealand as one of the final three women, but even after she and Jason shared one of the steamiest hot tubs in Bachelor history, he still questioned whether their chemistry would last over time and sent her home.
Enthusiastic about her work and life in general, Jillian is ready to find her best friend and settle down and is confident that she can find the love of her life on "The Bachelorette." Jillian is an only child and is excited at the thought of starting her own family.
Jillian, a native of Peace River, Alberta, Canada, graduated from British Columbia Institute of Technology with a degree in interior design. In her spare time she volunteers in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program as a school tutor and mentor.

Meet the New 'Bachelorette': Jillian Harris
"The Bachelorette" returns on May 18 when Jillian Harris, who finished third on last season's controversial "The Bachelor," gets her pick from 30 fabulous bachelors!
Jillian, a native of Peace River, Alberta, Canada, currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia and works as a restaurant interior designer. In her spare time she volunteers in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program as a school tutor and mentor.
The 29-year-old was a fan favorite, and a natural choice for the new season of "The Bachelorette."
This season's premiere begins with 25 eligible men arriving from all over the country to try and win Jillian's heart, including an Olympic cyclist, a break dance instructor, a pizza entrepreneur, a commercial pilot and a wine maker, as well as a successful lawyer, general contractor, business developer and oil and gas consultant. All the men saw Jillian on "The Bachelor" and can't wait to meet her.
But in a stunning, first-ever twist, five strikingly handsome late arrivals crash the party. Jillian will be the first person in the history of the series to have 30 suitors to select from. The original group of 25 men quietly seethes as the additional guests get their time with the Bachelorette.
Then, one bachelor reveals that he is secretly obsessed with Jillian's feet, while a wealthy businessman impresses her with his laid-back confidence. In the end, Jillian presents her "first impression" rose to the man who managed to stand out in the crowd of eligible contenders.
By the end of the evening, Jillian, having the time of her life and confident that her future husband is among this group of men, must eliminate 10 of the 30 bachelors the first night, leaving 20 to compete for her affections and, in the end, her heart.
This season's fabulous dates will include trips across Canada, Spain and Hawaii, as well as a private concert by Grammy Award-winner and four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Martina McBride at the House of Blues in Hollywood.
"The Bachelorette" premieres Monday, May 18 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
