Jillian Harris dishes on her Bachelorette experience in the latest issue of OK! magazine. Here's what the 29-year-old Vancouver-based restaurant designer has to say:
On looking for love in The Bachelorette: It's funny, because I'm a super-real and down-to-earth person, so I understand that it's a crazy and unrealistic way to meet somebody, but I thought I would give it a try.
On the process of The Bachelorette :
It's 17-hour days and running from one place to another, and finding time just to have a bite to eat. In the beginning, you have to be emotionally available to all of the guys and not spread yourself out too thin. It can be really draining.
On the 'Bachelor Jason Mesnick' ordeal:
I was watching my intro on the first episode, and I said that it took me weeks to bounce back, but I actually did it really quickly. I knew pretty early on that he had chosen Melissa [Rycroft] and because she had become one of my good friends – you know how it is when you might think somebody is cute and then they start dating your friend and you get over it right away? So that helped, because I was so happy for [them].
On choosing a partner:
You definitely do fall for more than one person in a situation like this... but eventually you know what you're getting into. My final choice wasn't a difficult one to make.
On her choice:
I'm a firm believer that I made the right decision. The relationship failing is a fear, but I can't control that. If it happens, it happens. I will be in the same place that I was before this, which is a great place.[center]
