HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jillian Harris has spoken out after being eliminated by Jason Mesnick on Monday night's episode of "The Bachelor."
In an interview with reporters, the 29-year-old Canadian admitted she was "surprised" that she didn't get a rose and advance into the final round of two.
"No matter how hard you're falling for somebody, you always wonder if it is for real and if he's the one," explained Harris. "You have questions in your mind and heart, but when he let me go, I was sincerely disappointed and surprised."
When asked if her on-screen feelings for Mesnick were real, Harris didn't hestitate to confess she had fallen hard for the single father of 3-year-old Ty.
"Of all the men I have dated in my life, he possessed the most qualities that I was looking for," said the interior designer. "I still love him, but I don't think I am in love with him anymore.
It's like any other breakup," continued Harris. "You have to heal yourself. You have to get over it and move on and hope the best for the person."
Harris said she became really good friends with one of the finalists, Melissa, who heads into the final rose ceremony matched up against with Molly.
"[We] always talked about, if she did win, how fun it would be for us all to get together and have barbecues and laugh about it," she said of her relationship with Melissa, who is a native of Dallas, Texas.
While the two formed a bond, Harris stopped short of making a prediction about which girl is the best choice for Jason.
"I can see reasons why both girls would be great for him and why they both might not," she said.
