Bachelorette Jillian Harris has claimed that former suitor Jake Pavelka will make an "interesting" Bachelor.
ABC recently confirmed that the Dallas pilot will front the new season of the show when it returns next year.
Speaking to People, she said:"I think he's going to make an interesting Bachelor. He's definitely got a lot of emotion so I think he'll be very fun to watch."
Harris rejected Pavelka during her stint on The Bachelorette last year in favour of fellow contestant and current fiancé Ed Swiderski.
"We're obviously so supportive of anyone who's a part of that whole family," she added. "But it's very strange.
"You don't think of them as exes but it's also a bit sensitive. I think everyone that was there was there looking for something different but I think they all genuinely deserved to find somebody special."

Huh, what will she think when Reid and Kip move on given that she seemed to forge a much deeper bond with them than compared to Jake?

Hey Lovely Lass,
ReplyDeleteHer comments on this make no sense.
She thinks he'll be fun to watch because he's got a lot of emotion? I think that anyone who believes it's real (as it well may be -- I'm going to leave an open mind) will find all that intense emotion from Jake heart-wrenching, not "fun".
Remember, he's got to break someone's heart each week. Perhaps also his own. This show is not for the faint of heart or for the ones who fall deeply and quickly in love.
It may be a train wreck.
Not fun at all. Unless you're an emotional sadist.
Jillian find it "strange" and "sensitive" that Jake will, presumably, choosing his future bride. Yet she's over the moon about Jason being engaged and even declared them BFF's. Wasn't she more in love with Jason than she was with Jake?
Nothing Jillian does anymore makes any sense to me. Like you, I loved her fresh, natural, spontaneous style in the early days. Then, when I saw the side of her which seemed to accept someone who had clearly cheated on her, someone who, early in the game, had no intention of sticking around for "a chick" he was "in no way attracted to", I lost respect.
Remember, how, in the early days of Ed-gate, both Jillian and Ed were denying that there had been girlfriends during the taping of the show? Remember when Jillian said that the rudest thing a guy could do was come on the show with a girlfriend squirreled away back home?
Then, suddenly, after the e-mails became public, Ed started saying that he was, after all, "a bachelor in every sense of the word". Jillian started saying she'd known about the girlfriends and was okay with them. She was sticking by her man and they were going to "work" on their relationship.
I think she's making a lot of compromises very early in the relationship because she loves Ed more than he loves her back.
I think that as shattered as she was at Ed's early departure in the show, her ego was also enormously fed by his return. That, for her, sealed the deal, and she never looked back.
Her connection with Reid was real but Ed had the whole package she was always looking for: Party boy, bad boy, keep her working for his affection boy.
Speaks volumes about her self-esteem. She doesn't think she's worth a guy who'll always put her first.
That's my take.

I agree. Jillian's comments are bizarre. Jake is many things (most of which I respect) but to say that he will be a fun bachelor strikes me as either clueless or inane. I don't think she should even comment about future seasons of this show. She hardly qualifies as an authority on such matters. Who would listen to her dating advice?
ReplyDeleteJake takes relationships very serious. Some would say too seriously. When he turns women away, he will agonize over every one of them. Viewers will have a variety of reactions to this. I doubt that any of them could be described as "fun".
