At the time, I remember there being some tension in the house, but not that much! Remember — anything that I don’t see — I don’t know about… so I had no idea of the magnitude of conflict that was going on. It’s times like those that I really wish I had a secret little camera to get the inside scoop. That way I would have stormed right in there and put a stop to all that nonsense. On to a more positive topic … the dates this week were over the top… literally! My date with Ed was truly the definition of “living on the edge.” At the time, Ed seemed so easy-breezy about going over the edge of that building, but he later revealed to me that he was a nervous wreck! The best part about Ed moving into the house was his house attire — Ed would lounge around the mansion like he owned the place, wearing a silk robe and cucumber eye masks (and later on, drinking blended margaritas at 8 a.m. with Robbie!) For the record, some of the kisses on the western date were really awkward (sorry guys!). But I totally appreciated how the guys were all really going for it, and I had fun being a good sport! I am so not an actress, so the scene work was nerve-racking for me. It wasn’t until the last scene that Robbie D was finally able to calm my nerves a bit. He put me at ease, and dealt with his scene with such class. I was really proud of him, and had a blast acting with him. That’s why I gave him the rose. Actually, thinking back, I was also very proud of Tanner for sporting that ridiculous costume. The poor guy was last to be “outfitted,” and that was all that was left He was such a good sport about it — even when I made fun of his furry chaps. That week, unfortunately, ended with me having to deny Sasha the rose on our date. This was an extremely hard situation for me. I knew at the time, there were other men in the house that were “less perfect” for me, but I also knew it wasn’t fair to keep Sasha if I didn’t feel the connection. Sasha is such a great guy, and I was touched by all that he shared regarding his accident. Still, I wanted to be fair, and that meant ending the date with disappointment for both of us.
Thank you again, for tuning in every week. As time goes on I can promise you even more romance, laughter, adventure and yes… even more kissing … (sigh)
Yours truly,
Jilly
Viewers were surprised when Jillian Harris sent Sasha Petrovic home on Monday night's "The Bachelorette" after the 27-year-old oil and gas consultant from Houston, TX, opened up to her about a life-changing accident that could have left him paralyzed. Now find out what Sasha has to say about his ousting, why Juan is the least popular bachelor in the house and who is the right guy for Jillian.
ET: How do you feel about opening up about such a personal issue and moments later not getting a rose?
Sasha Petric: On the show everything gets squished in. Our conversation at dinner was pretty long. In between, we were doing interviews, and we had another 20-minute conversation. Opening up for me was important. It was important for me that Jillian understand who I was. That experience transformed me. As a result, I appreciate a lot of things that others don't.
When she said, "I can't give you the rose" and the reason, I was surprised. I talked about my expectations and how I cherished that love portion of it, so I have probably been in love and had my heart broken based on other people's criteria, but, for me, I hold it at a higher level. I haven't really felt that end-all and be-all falling in love and getting broken up with. So, it was really surprising, considering some of the guys that were left behind. I think we had pretty good chemistry and I think we had a pretty good conversation. At the end of the day, there a couple of guys that everybody knows aren't going to work out. I was one of the guys who was potentially well-rounded. Even say it was a small shot, it was still a shot, someone who was pretty quality in and out. Not an unemployed bartender.
ET: Do you wish you hadn't gone on the date?
Sasha Petric: Absolutely, I was glad. You don't come here to sit in the back and be in the bleacher seats. You come here to get to know her and for her to know you. That is the only place you want to be. For me, if me not having my heart broken and not being damaged goods is a prerequisite for her … I have plenty of friends who have married their high school and college sweethearts, and they are happy. I don't think you should judge something like that. I have been hurt tremendously in my past relationships. Obviously, things haven't worked out throughout my life with some of my relationships. It has been tough to deal with. Can I put a heartbroken sticker on it? Sure. If that is what it needs to be to get past that criteria, sure, but at the end of the day, do I feel that? Not really.
ET: Can you talk about what is going on between David and Juanand what is going on in the men's quarter?
Sasha Petric: Juan is a special character. When we first got in the house me and him didn't get along at all, just because he is the type of guy like that annoying cousin, who every time he sees you, slaps you in the back. After the first couple of times, you're like, "Take it easy." Luckily, I had the first date with the pool party and the car chase, so I was gone and when I came back to the house, the whole house was against him, which was a relief for me because I didn't have to deal with him anymore. Everybody was on him. Out of everybody, David for some reason just hates the guy. I talked to David about it probably 20 times, and I said, "Why do you care?" He said, "She doesn't know who he is. He is a snake. He is this and that." I said, "Let him spend time with her. He will bury himself. You know he is not going to do well. Just let it pass. You can't let it bother you, or you are going to go crazy. David was, "My dad had three heart attacks by the time he was 50. Things bother us in our family. I don't like feeling this way, but I can't help it. I legitimately can't stop hating him." It is interesting.
ET: What makes Juan a snake?
Sasha Petric: First of all, everyone thought he was a spy. They thought he was working for the show. He was 35. He was the oldest guy there. All the guys were hanging out in the bunkhouse, drinking beer, playing pool, outside playing basketball, interacting -- except Juan. Juan is hanging out in the corner not doing anything. Jillian would spontaneously come down and surprise us. So one time, he is just hanging out, he runs upstairs and puts on a pullover and looks nice. He hasn't been drinking all day long. He goes and gets a beer mug, comes in and stands by the guys playing pool. Two minutes later, Jillian walks in. Did he know? A bunch of the guys noticed it. He will alienate himself, and then when he needs to look like he is in the picture, he will look like he is one of the guys hanging out, having a beer and having a good time, when, in reality, he wasn't doing any of that. He plugged it in at the right time. So all the guys were, "What are you doing? If you don't want to hang out with us and drink beer, do it. Don't act as if you are a guy's guy." Be who you are. Brad was a weirdo, but he was who he was. Juan would be who he was around us, but when she pulled in, he acted as if he was one of the guys having fun. And going, "I don't know why they don't like me."
ET: Can you talk more about your accident and your injuries and how you overcame them?
Sasha Petric: It was a parents' worse nightmare. It was the second week of college. I was coming home. It [took place on] a really windy road in central Texas. It is called Devil's Backbone actually. I wasn't familiar with the area. I had a big Z71 truck. I was too far to the right. I over corrected, came across and hit a ditch. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt, which I do now every time. I flew out of the car, landed on my back, shattered my pelvis and crippled my leg. It is really weird. I don't remember any of it.
I woke up and I had already been life-flighted to Austin. I had a neck brace. I was in ICU. There were doctors everywhere. I had to go surgery. They had to pull my pelvis out, because my right hip jumped in about three inches and I would be all crooked. I was probably 190 and in very good shape, which saved my life, and the fact that I flew into a bamboo field, so the truck didn't cut me in half.
The tough part was coming home. I was 18 and all my friends were in college. I can't walk, I can't move. My parents had to bathe me. I couldn't even watch comedy movies, because inside my organs were so destroyed. I couldn't cough. If I sneezed, I was out of commission for six hours. Afterwards, you really appreciate just being able to get up in the morning and go outside and grab the paper.
I have always been a guy who could get through things and figure stuff out. No one really helps me out with anything. I always figure things out on my own. I have always been the backbone of my family. Like, when parents divorced, I helped out my sister. This was the one time in my life when I was weak, but it actually built me up stronger. From going through that, I now know what it is in life that is important. If you have a life-threatening illness, it puts everything in perspective.
ET: Who do you predict is the right guy for Jillian?
Sasha Petric: You could cut out half of them out of the gate, but if I had to put money on one guy, it would be a coin toss betweenKiptyn and Ed. I thought Ed was going to get kicked out after his one-on-one date. I was, "There is no way Ed is going to make it." I think they are each other's type. They just see eye to eye. He does have a different sense of humor. It is a little dryer. I think he is somewhat non-threatening to her. Some of the guys are too cocky and too confident and almost push her away, where Ed is more humble. If not him, maybe Kiptyn. He is an older guy. He lives on the West Coast. Kiptyn is the guy who never does anything bad, but never anything to differentiate himself. He is always in the safe zone.
Jillian arrives at he premiere of Touchstone Pictures 'The Proposal' held at the El Capitan Theatre on June 1 in Hollywood.
America's Canadian girl-next-door, Jillian Harris, brings her 13 suitors to her hometown in next Monday's episode of The Bachelorette. Vancouver will be the backdrop for several dates that feature a dinner at Grouse Mountain Resort, a kayaking jaunt to Granville Island, a picnic in Stanley Park and a harbour cruise. Plus, the bachelors compete in a game that is synonymous with Vancouver — you guessed it, curling! While in town the men stayed at the Fairmont Hotel, where they were treated to 13 mini-bottles of mouthwash a day, among other perqs. "It was interesting for our staff to have the 13 men in one room," said Brenda Meikle, public-relations representative for the Fairmont. "We did end up converting one of our best suites, but it's not intended for 13 people, typically. It was a creative challenge: We ended up using cots to fit all the bachelors in, but did custom linens for the cots to make it nice. "The gentlemen were only allowed out of the room for their dates, so that was interesting. How do you keep 13 men entertained?" she laughed. "There was probably some straw-drawing going on among our housekeeping team to see who got to take food up and service the room." What did hotel staff think of the 29-year-old bachelorette? "Jillian was on site a few times for the different events — the rose ceremony, picking the men up for several dates. Our team fell in love with her the minute they met her. She even posed with the hotel dogs," Meikle added.
So Jillian was at a movie called 'The Proposal?' Is there something we should know Jillian?
On the next episode of the Bachelorette 
source: People Magazine, http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/06/02/jen-scheffts-advice-for-bachelorettes-just-dont-settle/
Jen Schefft has some advice for all the other bachelorettes out there: be patient, don’t settle and you will find the man of your dreams. Schefft is living proof. After becoming engaged to Andrew Firestone on The Bachelor in 2003, then breaking up, and going on The Bachelorette, Schefft, 32, recently tied the knotwith Joe Waterman, 35, an options traders at the Chicago Board of Trade. “It’s great knowing that I have a partner,” she tells PEOPLE of married life. “It doesn’t feel different. It just feels better.” Just back from her Hawaiian honeymoon, Schefft is settling into life as a new wife in the one-bedroom Chicago condo the couple share with Cooper, a 2-year-old Maltese mix, and where Waterman does the cooking and Schefft takes on the cleaning. Before everything worked out, “I went on a million blind dates that didn’t work out,” she said of her dating life. “I did get discouraged, but you just have to keep getting out there.” In fact, she met her husband on a blind date and says she knew he was the one right away. “It was so easy. We got along so well from the beginning,” she said. “I knew what I was looking for. Someone I could totally be myself with, someone funny, fun, down to earth and my best friend. And that’s what I found.”
Within eight months, the two were engaged. “Joe and I tried to make it as low-stress as possible,” she said of her wedding at Spiaggia restaurant in Chicago in front of 113 guests. “There was nothing out of the ordinary.” Is there a new addition to their clan on the way? “We definitely want kids, sooner rather than later,” she said. “It’s definitely not going to be one of those things where I wait five years.” Not that she’s opposed to waiting — for the right guy. “They will always come along,” she says. “For all those people who are discouraged, you can meet the right person. Just don’t settle.” Shefft, meanwhile, has a new job as an account manager for Henson Consulting, a Chicago-area public relations firm. She will lead some accounts including Little Black Dress Wines, which bills itself as the “official wine of award season,” and hosts celebrity auctions, and Hard Rock Hotel Chicago, a local hotspot for celebs and bands visiting the city.“Jen’s previous life on reality TV truly wasn’t a factor in hiring her,” said agency owner Kathleen Henson. “It actually never even came up in the interview process. I just liked her and her vibe fit ours.” — Hilary Shenfeld
Former Bachelorette Trista Stutter Blogs about the Bachelorette!
Trista writes:
Last night's episode started with host, Chris Harrison, joining the 15 remaining guys in the smelly bunkhouse and explaining the date week ahead. (Lookin' good, Mr. Harrison!) Everyone had their ears perked, and in the case of Brad, legs crossed. With that and the cold sore he had on his lip last week, he's dropping lower and lower in the ranks for me.
Here's how it all went down...
ABC/KEVIN FOLEY Foot Fetishes, Unicorns & Lots of Kissing
Ed gets the first individual date, and I'm ecstatic…love him! So cute! What a great smile and perfect teeth. Definitely something I would look for (although I'm, of course, not looking for a replacement for my incredible hubby.) Jillian, looking fantastic in teal (seriously, great color for you, girl!), shows off her adrenaline junkie side with a date that starts with a helicopter ride to the top of the building. Kudos to her as that so would not be me! The biggest adrenaline-filled date for me was a slow-going blimp ride.
After their time in the air and then the pool, they clean up (very nicely, I might add) and head back up to the top of the building to fill their bellies and have a chat. I'm all about honesty and absolutely love that Ed said, "You better give me a rose." He's chalking up the points from where I sit. OK, sorry to the producers as I know you have a really hard job coming up with interesting and original dates that haven't been on any of the other Bachelor or Bachelorette shows, but acting on a movie set? Really? Maybe in theory it could seem like fun, but I can't believe Jillian would be up for a repeat of what happened on the soap opera date that she had while on The Bachelor.Yes, it's gotta show her their personalities, but I would so not have been cool with kissing dude after dude while the others were watching. Don't know if Brad felt the stares of the others when he had his moment because the self-proclaimed "ultra-badass" (I think not!) seemed to lack any sort of kissing skills. Bad sign, Jillian. Run the other way!
My take on their individual time with Jillian:
1. Robby hasn't kissed a girl in two years...what? First of all: How old is he? And second: He's a bartender? Seriously?!
2. The conversation seemed way forced and didn't flow. I do know that you don't see 99 percent of what happens during the six weeks of the show, so maybe they had more conversation that did work. But when you have to ask, "Do you have any questions?" it seems like you are reaching.
3. Juan came off as a huge player and is now way down at the bottom of my list of faves.
The group date ended with, what else, a jaunt in the hot tub and watching their movie, which was cute. In the water, Tanner P. of course went gaga over Jillian's feet. We get that you've got a disgusting fetish, but can you maybe give it a teeny break? Tanner's moment, yes, awkward, but I think overall it couldn't have been "fun." Eleven guys and one girl that they are all pining for in one hot tub. Not the most comfortable of situations, I assume—especially when Kiptyn ends up between Robby and Jillian and their cheek kiss. I'm sure she was ready for that part to end.
Sasha then gets the next date, and I have to admit, I haven't been totally into him. Then, after he mentioned sheep, wolves and unicorns in one sentence, my not being into him got even stronger. Unicorns? Huh?
As the guys were saying goodbye to him, all I saw was a rockin' body. Holy six pack abs, Kiptyn, or should I say 12-pack? Surfing pays off. Then, Jillian walks in to pick Sasha up and, wow, does she have great legs! Absolutely adore her denim jumper with yellow heels. Great style and great calves. Love her.
After a photo shoot and sweet ride in a Ferrari, they sit down to dinner and, unfortunately, it doesn't win Sasha the rose. He shares his awful story about a car accident that nearly killed him and with the fact that Jillian said she wanted someone who's been through a storm in their life…it seemed to bode well for him. He went on to tell her that he hadn't had his heart broken and that he has high expectations for his future wife. Not sure why, but she says adios based on the fear of living up to those expectations. I personally believe it's a good thing not to settle. And so ends Sasha's reality-TV time. Back at the ranch, Wes plays guitar for the other guys. What? It wasn't a play sing-alongs night? It was a show-off-the-new-song-you-wrote-for-a-girl night. Strange. Seems like if you write a song for a girl, you would maybe sing it to her first and not to other guys she may have feelings for. I do have to admit that even though he seems a bit sly, it's hard not to turn into a melted mess if someone serenades you. Although my hubby, Ryan, isn't the best singer (sorry, baby!), the fact that Brad Paisley sings a song he wrote as a poem to me on our first date surely melts me every time I hear it (P.S.: You can download it on iTunes!).
ABC/KEVIN FOLEY Roses, Anger Issues & a Gay Guy?
Rose ceremony time. (Gorgeous dress, Jillian!) Time with the boys goes down like this:
1. Once again, Jillian asks Reid, "What kind of questions do you have for me?" Unfortunately, it seems like when you have to be that specific, the conversational chemistry isn't there, and that's an important component. It did look like they had a great kiss, though, and I feel like that may be even more important.
2. I appreciate David's honesty, but you don't say, "I'm used to being the top dog and getting all the attention" without sounding arrogant. You seriously think that's the way to a woman's heart? Not so much.
3. Juan interrupts the moment with Jillian and David with a "Davie"...I think. It was either that or "baby" and either or is creepy. Then he slimily says, "You look so great tonight," with his legs crossed. I smell someone hidden in the closet, though he may not know it. Nothing wrong with it, except for the fact that he's trying to win the heart of a girl. Sorry, Juan.
The saga between David and Juan continues and continues and continues. Yes, Juan has an annoying Rico Suave factor, and he pretended to down a shot, but poured it out instead. But come on, David. Let it go! Don't know if maybe there's an alcohol issue with you or you're jacked-up on steroids, but, David, I hope after seeing this show, you realize that you've got an anger problem. You are just lucky that Jillian isn't seeing your rage, although I hope someone tells her. Maybe Ed will, considering he got his head ripped off for "interrupting" David...oh, and got snapped at! The next one to get it was Mark. Talk about disrespectful. I think David should look in the mirror. I probably shouldn't waste this much time on him, but how is David such an expert on what Jillian needs anyway? I know she's looking for a good man, but how is it that yelling, calling people a coward and "cheese-ass" (nice), threatening to beat someone's ass and drinking like a lush make you a man? Not sure why Juan has to explain why he is there to you, David. Seems like Jillian is the one making the decisions for her future. Time for comedic relief with Tanner P., who, foot fetish or not, has a funny bone. Disturbing, yes, as he said he wanted to "suck on some toes" over and over again (creepy), but I do like the guy's humor, even if he was wasted. Rose ceremony time. Ed and Robby have one, but dun, dun, dun! Who will get the remaining eleven? The suspense is killing me...well, not really. I pinned it with Brad and Tanner F. Sorry, guys, but whether it's your lack of airtime that gave me the hint or my stellar Bachelorette intuition (so not this one...I'm always wrong!), I had it right on. Next week looks pretty hot and sexy with Kiptyn at least. Can't wait to see David get the cold shoulder. They show him saying, "I've never been turned down from a kiss before," and Jillian going in with her cheek. Love it! I truly hope they have a one-on-one date so that she can not give him a rose next show!
Had lots of fun. Same time, same place next week!
XOXO,
Trista

Jillian Harris, a 29-year-old restaurant designer from Vancouver, Canada, was given an especially brutal heave-ho by Jason Mesnick on the last season of The Bachelor -Fortunately, Harris received a reward for becoming an object of national pity: She's the season five star of The Bachelorette, and among her suitors is Mark Huebner, who's described as a "pizza entrepreneur" from Denver.
Hard to tell what that means at this point. Huebner's LinkedIn profile says he's the managing partner of Denver Pizza Company, but there's no website listed for the joint. Instead, there's a link to Motive Branding, located in Cherry Creek South, which describes itself as "an independent marketing agency that offers inventive branding products and services to strengthen the presence of your business among its target audience."
Mark better speak up soon so Jillian notices him!
They say that love don't come easy, and apparently song lyrics don't either. This week, Wes played the same one line of his song about 18 times. True, this may be the result of editing, but I like to think the song only has one line. Also, I feel compelled to mention Tanner P's foot fetish, because although this one-note joke has run its course, it has not ceased to get screen-time. Tanner P put it best when he said: "I'm not here for an agenda, I'm here to suck on some toes and to meet Jillian." Throughout the episode, Jillian kept asking the guys if they had any questions for her. So, in honor of the most repeated line of the week, yes Jilly, I do have some questions for you.
What was the best part of the first date, a one-on-one with Ed?
a.) Helicopter! As I told Ed, I got to pop his helicopter cherry! (And this season's helicopter cherry, thanks ABC!)
b.) Belaying slowly (soooo sloooowly) from a high-rise building.
c.) Getting to know Ed's soul. As if learning that he likes dive bars and karaoke wasn't personal enough, he also shared the fact that he struggles to balance his work and personal life. Deep.
d.) Having my thoughts interrupted by kisses - again! It's my favorite thing.
Date 2 was a group date to a real live movie studio! What was your favorite part?
a.) The fact that all 11 guys wore green and black shirts. What are the odds?
b.) Getting to kiss 7 of the guys, one right after the other. Acting is tough!
c.) Tanner P's cowboy costume. It looked like Tigger had died on him!
d.) Kissing Robby. He seemed nervous, but then he made me feel soooo comfortable. That's why I gave him the rose.
e.) The love scene between Mike and Michael. All the other guys seemed to really like it too. Like - a lot. Hmm...
f.) Being in that hot tub with 11 guys! You know how I love hot tubs. . . .
Why haven't you gotten rid of David, even though he is clearly crazy with a side of anger management issues?
a.) There's something about all that swearing that gets me hot. And the more he drinks, the more he swears. I just wanna drown him in booze.
b.) He wants what's best for me. Seriously. He just wants to make sure my suitors are there for the right reasons.
c.) He's so manly! In fact, Chris Harrison told me he tried (and failed) to get the other guys to start a rumble with Juan. Oooh almost fight!
d.) He said he's used to getting "attention and what not". I have to find out what this mystery "what not" is. I need to know!
Why did you send Sasha home after your date?
a.) Like I said, I need to make sure I end up with someone who will be more than a fling for a couple years. Sasha's never been in love and never been hurt. He's not ready to be a husband.
b.) I know I said I liked that story about how he almost died once in a car accident. But really, the whole time I was listening, I was like: Eeee too serious. (That's also why I sent him home on the bus. I was trying to be be considerate of his traumatized past. I also felt really dumb for making him drive that Ferrari earlier. Oops.)
c.) I think he might have, like - problems. He said he was looking for a mythical unicorn, and I might be all the way from Canada, but I know unicorns don't exist. I hope he finds some help.
d.) He has a girl's name!
What is your favorite thing about Juan?
a.) How that vaguely Latin music plays every time he approaches. How cool is that?
b.) How he compliments my clothes. He can list like, every outfit I've ever worn on the show. And there have been a lot.
c.) How he's teaching me Spanish. I already know one word! No, wait, I can't remember it. . .
d.) How he interrupts all my conversations with other guys. Especially when I'm about to kiss them.
Who is your favorite Seemingly Normal Guy Who Never Gets Camera Time?
a.) Reid. Like I told him, if there were two roses on the group date, he totally would have gotten the second one!
b.) Mark
c.) Tanner F. No wait I kicked him off. . .
d.) Hmmm. Does Wes get a lot of camera time? Cuz I like him.
You had a lot of great lines this week. Which one are you most proud of?
a.) "I know I'm paving the road to my happiness"
b.) "I know it [love] isn't all peaches and cream"
c.) The word "wicked". I am totally bringing it back!
d.) "They say that love don't come easy" Oh wait- that's Wes' line. It's so catchy!
Booted: Tanner F. and Bradley. Both were pretty inconsequential.
Drinking Game Tally:
Kisses: 16.5 (the half was a cheek kiss)
Hand holds: 6
Jillian outfits: 17!
"The Bachelorette"'s Jillian Harris wouldn't reveal to ET whether or not she found love on this season's show, just telling us she is in "an extremely good place." Now, she reveals what she is going to name her son! This morning on 'Valentine in the Morning' " Jillian told the DJ that she can't wait to have kids. Hoping to trick her into revealing which, if any, of the bachelors she chose, Val asked her what she would name a boy, if she had a son. "I don't want to tell you because everybody will steal it, but if I have a boy, I want to name him Nash," she said. There are no bachelors named Nash. So, the clue didn't reveal the identity of any of the men who make it to the finale on "The Bachelorette," airing tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC, but it was a nice try!

If you were sitting home last week watching "The Bachelorette," and you wanted to yell at Jillian Harris, "No! Don't give that guy a rose. He is a jerk when you aren't with him," rest easy. The Canadian cutie tells ET that it all works out for the best. "I have to admit that as I am watching it now, I am saying the same thing to myself, but I made the right decision in the end," she tells ET. "I don't get to see any secret footage of the guys. I base my decisions on the interaction that I have with them. [Watching now], as I am starting to see some of the guys starting to fight in the house, it definitely raises some red flags."
But as Jillian is quick to point out, if there weren't those crazy characters on the show, no one would watch.
The 29-year-old green-eyed beauty says that when she agreed to become the new "the Bachelorette," she thought she would always make the right decision, but she soon found out that it wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. "You try to learn as much as you can about the guys who everybody is warning you about," she continues. "Then you have to ask yourself, 'Should I follow my gut in what I know about that person? Or should I take advice from someone who is after the same thing?' There are no girlfriends to say, 'That guy is actually a bad guy.' You have to follow your gut, and, sometimes it misleads you."
So the question on everyone's mind, of course, is: Has she found her true love? "I can't elaborate on that, but I can say through all these ups and downs in this experience, I am sitting here now in an extremely good place," she tells ET.
