She's a step up from the intolerable DeAnna Pappas. Although 29-year-old Jillian Harris of Vancouver, BC, didn't win the heart of the fickle Jason Mesnick, she did score major points with fans of the show. So much so, that ABC has given her the opportunity to find love in the worst way possible – on reality TV!

After a steamy episode where Jillian and Jason had some serious hot tub action, Jason dumped her ass, telling her he'd placed her in the friend category. Does he molest all his friends like that?

Jillian apperaed on last night's After the Final Rose Ceremony Part 2 and said, “It’s a great opportunity for me. I fell in love once before and I know this is a great venue for me to fall in love again,” she added. “Seeing what Jason went through makes you realize there are no guarantees in life. I only hope I make the right choice the first time.”

Host Chris Harrison told viewers that choosing Jillian as the new Bachelorette was easy for producers, saying that crowning her the new Bachelorette was “a pretty easy decision.”

“There was one girl this season who really captured America’s heart.”

Next season, Jillian will sift through 25 men in search of a husband. This process has worked out for one couple so far – Trista and Ryan – who are married and are expecting their second baby. There are two other couples still together. Mary Delgado and Byron Velnick (although she has been arrested for beating him up) and Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice.
