Jillian Harris is The New Bachelorette

Jillian Harris, the Canadian beauty with the Hot Dog Theory, has been announced the next Bachelorette. Jillian was ousted from the 13th season of The Bachelor when Jason Mesnick decided they weren't meant to be more than friends.

The 29-year-old works as an interior designer for a restaurant chain in Vancouver. Jillian recently talked to Reality TV World about her experience on the show and her infamous hot dog theory. Check out some highlights:

Based on how you thought your date in New Zealand went with Jason, is it safe to say you were surprised when you learned that you had been eliminated?

Jillian: Yeah it's pretty safe to say that I was surprised. I think that it's a very unique situation that you're in, and of course no method of how hard you're falling for somebody you always sort of wonder if this is for real and if he's the real one, you have questions in your mind and in your heart.

But when he let me go I was sincerely really disappointed and surprised.

After you got eliminated, who did you feel was the better fit for Jason, [Molly Malaney] or [Melissa Rycroft]?

Jillian: (Pauses) I can see reasons why both girls would be great for him, and I can obviously see reasons why they both might not. [Melissa and I were very close] in the house, and her and I always talked about if she did win how fun it would be for us all to one day get together and have barbeques and laugh about it.

So, you know, a little selfish part inside of me hopes that it's Melissa, but the bottom line is now that I'm not the one I really hope that Jason chooses the right person and that he's happy and hopefully I'll see him again.

As far as your hot dog theory goes, do you feel like you need to re-work it a little more, or do you wish that Jason had maybe thrown some relish on there?

Jillian: No, actually I still stand by my theory. I think my theory is a little bit more complicated than I initially thought, but Jason may be having some hot dog topping denial. I don't think he's a sauerkraut, I don't think he's that kind of guy, but he actually has a little bit of ketchup in him -- a little bit of a ketchup-mustard -- and I need a little bit of a sauerkraut-mustard... If that makes sense. If you know the hot dog theory you'll understand.
