New 'Bachelorette' Speaks Out About Jason Mesnick

The Next 'Bachelorette' Announced

One of the final four women to vie for Jason Mesnick's affections will be the next star of "The Bachelorette."

Jillian, the 29-year-old interior designer from Alberta, Canada, will look for a love interest among 25 men as the new "Bachelorette."

“I’m a very lucky person. I’ve been a huge fan of the show since day one,” Jillian said on Tuesday night’s “Bachelor”: After the Final Rose Part II. “I did fall in love once before [with Jason]. I know this is a great venue for me to fall in love again.”

Regarding the controversial turn of events on “The Bacherlor” -- in which Jason dumped winner Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney -- Jillian says, “Jason seems to me like he has kept his chin up,” but adds, “I hope that I make the right choice the first time.”

Catch Jillian when “The Bachelorette” premieres May 18 on ABC.

  • Jason is no catch. He's a poor example to his son. He had a beautiful ex-wife and led us to believe at first that he had sole custody, not so. I read that Molly is NOT dating Jason, just doing required show promo. Watch them announce the split after...

  • I think there is a big problem with Jason. I don't know the details of his first marriage and divorce, or if he shares custody of his son. I do recall he rather peculiar antics when he lost out on the bachelorette program, and now rejecting the girl...
