Bio
Jillian Harris finished third on The Bachelor. She was beaten out by beauties Melissa Rycroft and Molly Malaney... though many might consider Jillian the actual winner, considering the fact she avoided heartbreak at the hands of this shady single dad from Seattle.
Moreover, the Canadian - who works as an interior designer - has truly gotten the last laugh: premiering in May of 2009, she'll star as The Bachelorette.
Will Harris find true love on that series? She did! Jillian chose Ed Swiderski and they are totally engaged! A 2010 wedding is planned. Congrats kids!

Quotes
There's something really magical about ABC finding girls like us that were great for [Jason Mesnick] and allowing us to get to know each other so quickly.

Jillian is going to win barring any shocking surprises.
Jason is attracted to Molly but the depth of connection he desires is not there. Melissa, as desirable as she is, will not be Jason's choice.
If Jillian shows she wants Jason and she's beginning to, she's the winner. Those two connect and Jason is deeply attracted to her physically and emotionally.

I think Jillian should win. She is the best match for Jason.

Jillian is by far the most mature and deep woman on this show. I don't think Jason will choose her because she is more mature than him. However, she's very adept and well rounded as well as funny, beautiful and laid back. She is the best candidate that they've had on the show since it started.... she's one incredible woman.

Jason is an idiot. Too bad I'm not a lot younger, Id be hot-footin it to Canada. Jillian is perfect, and he sent her home.

Whaaaat!?!? I don't get it. Jillian is AMAZING. Watching them together was so perfect. It was always interesting. The other girls are so boring. Blah. What an idiot. I hope they make her the bachelorett in the next show. THAT would be fun to watch! And she's so damn endearing.

Jillian is an awesome woman! Its amzing how I was able to connect with her on tv. She will have no issues finding the right man. She is right on when she says that she wants to marry her best friend. Thats the only way things can work. Jason doesnt seem to get it and fell for the other twos lines of love. Jillian on the other hand gets it.

Does anyone else see the resemblance between DeAnna and Melissa? They could be sisters. Molly has the same hair cut, the same face shape, and the same nose as the other two women. The thought of DeAnna returning is going to put a real spin on the end of this. The only one that was different was Jillian. I think Jason is still in love with Deanna.

Congrats Jason, on losing the best girl ever. Jill, be the next Bachelorette. We'd all love it :]

I have never before been so very happy about a bachelor sending someone home. Jullian, i was elated. You do not need that grammatically incorrect pronoun user of a thing. You are too intelligent, charming, (all other adjectives) for him. He is getting just what he deserves. My hat off to you - You will find someone who deserves you! Soon and very soon.

Jillian was definitely the most honest woman of the bunch! Jason messed up by sending her home! Melissa and Molly are in it for them. They both seem so fake; whereas, Jillian was always up-front about everything and she seemed so sincere. Also, she is the prettiest and has a very loving family. Why would he pick Melissa without meeting her family....it just doesn't make any sense. He doesn't make any sense! Jason deserves everything he gets!!!
