The Emmy-winning series has maintained its quality across decades by constantly finding new routes, challenges, and casting that keeps the race feeling fresh and unpredictable.

We have a premiere date! The Bachelorette, which features Jillian Harris, the 2nd-runner up in season 13 of The Bachelor, will premiere May 18, 2009 on ABC. Filming started just four weeks after the first After The Final Rose ceremony where Jason Mesnick dumped Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney. As of April 19, 2009, The Bachelorette is reportedly more than halfway through filming. Harris' The Bachelorette edition will premiere with a special two-hour broadcast on Monday, May 18 at 9PM ET/PT -- immediately after ABC's broadcast of Dancing with the Stars' final eighth-season performance show.

I got burned hard last round. Not sure I can wear my heart on my sleeve and play this time.

Many people vowed to NEVER watch this show again after last season! I can't wait to see how that turns out.

However, if Jillian is the prize and that is it....I don't think I can get into a season of that. There is no win, lol. I was screaming, "Dump her!" throughout the Bachelor, so how can this be good? To each their own, but I'm out.

The premiere is Monday! From the commercials, it looks like Jillian will get to choose from 30 guys instead of the normal 25, including 2 foreigners (one from Buenos Aires, one from London). ABC.com has their pictures and bios up, and I gotta say, I'm not too impressed with the goods. There are a few I can drool over though...

They just buy it from Mike Fleiss, having given him some general feedback and direction before casting began.
I am like an abused girlfriend. I swore that I was done with this show, that Jason burned me (or Melissa I should say) so badly, I couldn't enjoy it again. And yet...I find myself excited about tonight and telling myself things will be different. ABC didn't mean to hurt me, right? ABC will try harder this time around... (I think I need therapy for my reality TV addiction)
