MORE DRAMA FOR JILLIAN!

The Bachelorette gets into more hot water!

Thirty studly, single Southern men all worshipping one woman sounded too good to be true.

And as said lucky gal -- Peace River, Alta., native Jillian Harris -- learned on Monday's episode of The Bachelorette, it very well could be. For those who didn't tune in (shame on you!), the 30-year-old interior designer's fantasy world crumbled this week when a couple of the remaining suitors on the romantic reality TV series informed her some of the guys who supposedly came on the show to vie for her affections actually had girlfriends back home.

The news shocked and angered the petite brunette -- especially when no one 'fessed up when host Chris Harrison demanded answers at the rose ceremony. "I just needed that person to come clean and say, 'listen, I came on here for the wrong reasons,' " Harris tells us over the line from her home in Vancouver -- where she returned after shooting for The Bachelorette wrapped a couple of weeks ago. "It would suck for sure, but I would understand." Since none of her dates manned up, Harris went with her gut instinct to dump bully Dave and his nemesis Juan, but says Monday's shocker sparked a guessing game that she played for the rest of the season. "Trust me, that won't be the most dramatic episode," she laughs. "I think that throughout the whole season it's like, 'Does this guy have a girlfriend? Is this guy here for the right reasons?' It's like dating somebody who you think is a cheater ... You're going to find out about it eventually. I tried to stop focusing on it. At the end of the day, I'm going to keep on trusting my instincts."

And if Harris' giddy demeanour during our phone chat is any indication, the whole girlfriend ordeal didn't stop her edition of The Bachelorette -- the Citytv and ABC show's fifth season -- from having a happy ending.

PERKY CANUCK

While she can't reveal who she gave the final rose to -- or whether she came out with a several-carat chunk of ice on her ring finger -- the perky Canuck also can't hide that she's "in a good place right now. "My girlfriend and I went and played croquet the other day, and as I was driving home she called and said, 'In case you haven't noticed, you are extremely happy right now. You came back smarter and funnier, and you're just on fire.' "

Hmm, now she has us guessing. If her taste in men is as unique as her taste in sports (croquet, seriously?), perhaps Harris chose foot-obsessed Texan Tanner P. to be her beau. After all, she does think his fetish "is harmless and cute." Or how about lovably dorky pilot Jake? Or even country music star wannabe Wes, who she says she "had a strong connection with from Day 1" despite the other guys' concerns about him only being there to further his career. Harris will take all three -- plus seven other remaining bachelors -- to the slopes in Whistler on Monday's episode, where she'll only have eight roses to hand out.

Word is a trip to Hawaii is still on deck, along with -- in true Bachelor/Bachelorette fashion -- a boatload of drama.
