Jillian Harris is the new Bachelorette!!

[BachataBride]

Since the Bachelor S.13 is now over I thought I would start a new thread for our favorite Canadian girl Jillian. Last night, she was announced as the Bachelorette for S.5!!

 

I cannot wait for May 18th when Jill meets 25 smokin hotties!!

I feel like a bad Canadian...but who is Jillian Harris?

[BachataBride]

Hahahaha...

You are not a bad Canadian!!! She was nobody until she made it to the final 3 of the Bachelor!!

[laybar]

I like her!

[TATrisha]

I really like her, however I really wish they would have chosen someone completely new and end this string of bachelor/bachelorettes. I'm sick of hearing "I know what you went through, I was right there once."

I think they will eventually go to a new Bachelor or Bachelorette, but they have been using people from previous shows since almost the beginning. Jen (S.3 b'ette) was from Andrew's season (S.3); Bob (S.4) was from Trista's season (S.1); Meredith (S.2) was from Bob's season (S.4); and Mary (Byron's choice in S.6) was in Bob's season as well. And then of course there is DeAnna (S.11 bach. & S.4 b'ette) & Jason (S.4 b'ette & S.13 bach.)

The trend is that the bachelorettes have been from a Bachelor show (although I can't remember if the original Bachelorette, Trista, was). The next Bachelor will probably be someone new!

Trista definitely was the girl sent home at the FINAL rose ceremony - and it was so sad!, I know this because that was the only season I watched every episode...though..now I can't remember the guys name!

Do the participants get..paid...to be on the show? I know the big reward is finding "True" love...but...do you think they get paid to be there too?! Just curious!

i dont think they get paid but i bet they get loads of perks! plus living in the nice places, etc.

I liked Jill a lot - but I just hope it doesn't turn out like this one did. I seriously don't even think I want to watch it LOL

i'm not in love with jill, but i think i'll give her a shot. but i don't think she can do the hot dog theory with all 25 guys- everyone would pick mustard!

 

is this the first canadian bachelorette? i'm not used to watching/hearing canadians on tv (that probably sounds weird but we don't really get any canadian programming) and so sometimes the way she says things really throws me off and makes me stop paying attention to what she is actually saying! i'm probably the only one that happens to.. hah.
