Ahhh, the moment we have all been waiting for is finally here! Tonight, we get to watch our girl, Jillian Harris, get all dolled up to hopefully meet the man of her dreams. At last, we can sit back and watch a bachelorette that people can relate to. She's funny, intelligent, independent and has a good head on her shoulders. She's not looking to go Hollywood, she's not looking for an acting/modeling career and she says she could be just as happy with her day job restaurant interior designing.
Some things to look for in tonight's episode:
1. Jillian's makeover. ABC will take all steps to spruce up Jillian's look and make her TV ready, appealing to a variety of men. Jillian is very cute to begin with, so I hope they don't overdo it. Part of her appeal is the fact that she's down to earth. Let's hope they keep her that way. I'm sure they started her on some sort of fitness routine, not that the girl needs it - she looked great on The Bachelor. My guess is that they gave her a new haircut - we already saw they darkened her locks and probably gave her some new make-up tips. I love that her stylist has introduced her to Jennifer Atterman's earrings (see posting from this past Saturday).
2. The First Impression Rose. I'm sure Jillian will have to give one of these out, guaranteeing that one of her suitors will automatically come back for the next round, and probably get a one on one date with Jillian at some point. Who will it be? I think Jillian will be looking for someone not just very good looking, but also smart, down to earth and friendly - just like her.
3. The Boyfriend's friend. I won't tell you which one, but The Boyfriend actually knows one of the competing Bachelors personally. We'll talk about it on our next podcast. Can you guess which one it is? Maybe we can get this person to join us on a future podcast and give us the dirt??!!
4. Bygones be bygones. Last we left Jillian, she was heartbroken over Jason - she had fallen in love, said she was ready to get engaged to him and become a stepmom. There didn't seem to be much time in between her heartbreak and when she began filming for this show. Has she had time to heal? Is she ready to dive back into this process? Can you see any of these men as someone Jillian could end up with?
5. The future Mr. Jillian Harris. Keep in mind that this pool of men was most likely originally selected for Melissa or Molly from last season, as they were originally asked to be the next Bachelorette before Jillian. Also notice that there are NO Canandians in this pool. Will this play a factor in Jillian's decision? Are these men looking for hotties like Melissa or Molly or will they be ok with a very cute, smart girl like Jillian - but not necessarily someone that is a model type? (this is not taking anything away from Jillian - I think her realness is what makes her the most appealing).
6. Hot dog theory. Last season, Jillian said she could tell a lot about a guy by what he put on his hot dog. Will she test this theory out on each of the other men? Let's hope this theory died with last season.
7. The secrets of the men. There's always something. Who is a dad? Who is a virgin? Who is extremely religious? Who is only looking to further their acting/modeling career? Who is a momma's boy? Who has more hair products than Jillian? These are things to look out for.
8. Who are the 5 extra men added to the pool of 25 and why did ABC decide to add them?
