Jillian Harris was the third runner-up on the last season of The Bachelor when she was left heartbroken when Jason Mesnick cut her loose cause he said she's more of a friend who gives it to him in a hot tub than a girlfriend.

Jillian is on the rebound and her search for love continues today. She says that Jason encouraged her to take the gig.

Jillian told Extra, "Jason was helping me quite a bit to make up my mind to do this. He is somebody that I talked to and he really supported me. I had to sort of cut off my relationship with Jason [to do the show], but it’s temporary, and I will definitely be friends with him after all of this is over."

On whether she found her Mr. on The Bachelorette:

“I definitely know that falling in love is very, very possible, and I'm obviously in a very good mood right now. [My fear going into this was] what if I don’t fall in love? What if I get to the end of it and I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel? Is it really possible? But I can say that that is not a problem. I'm definitely feeling the way I wanted to feel in this situation.”
