This week, on The Bachelorette, Jillian finally did something that the rest of us would’ve done the first night: eliminate the guy with the foot fetish. Tanner caused some drama when he told Jillian that Wes (and perhaps some of the other guys) had a girlfriend back home. At the rose ceremony, Jillian wasn’t feeling the connection anymore and eliminated him from the competition. Today, he spoke to reporters in a conference call about his fascination with feet and why he threw Wes under the bus.

Q. You were very entertaining and fun to watch on the show. OF course, the foot fetish is going to be the talk of the town. What is the perfect foot?
A. Tanner: It was a lot of embellishing on my part. Girls’ feet are not a deal breaker but I love girls’ pretty feet. Girls’ feet are feminine and guys don’t take care of their feet. High arches are great but it’s not a deal breaker. Painted toes are the thing. That’s what it takes to have hot feet and Jillian had them.

Q. Why did you strip down in front of Jillian?
A. Tanner: You get half the part of the story on that, due to editing. We were all talking about what we wear, which you heard. I’ve been thinking that I’ve been the comedian of this whole thing so I thought I’d bust out and show everyone my main piece. I wanted to have fun with it. She said it was a little awkward but I’m not scared to show what I was wearing and I just went with it.
