Jillian Harris won't give away the ending of this season's "The Bachelorette". You'll just have to keep watching to find out if she'll actually find love. She does promise many exciting ups and downs along the way.

"There's a lot of things that happen for the girls," Harris said. "I know they're going to go, 'Oh my gosh, that is beautiful.' That's exciting, and then there's a lot of times where you guys are gonna think I'm crazy for keeping somebody. There's going to be some times where you guys are sad for me. There are some heart breaking times. I just want to say that I'm really happy, and that you guys will enjoy the ride."

Already Harris has raised eyebrows by keeping a foot fetishist amongst the contenders. "Now, this is my opinion on that. Tanner is there for one hundred percent the right reasons. He's not there for his career. He's not there to be famous. He actually wants to fall in love. His family is super tight. They're religious. They love each other. He has a huge heart. The only quirk about him that people don't understand is his foot fetish. Now, there are other people there that you guys will soon see are actually not. Not that they're not good people, but they are mean and they're destructive and they don't speak to people the way they're supposed to be spoken to. So with Tanner, he was so endearing, and he treated me like gold. He respected me. The fact that he got turned on by my feet was like, that made him unique and different. I can deal with that. I would rather deal with that then deal with an A-hole for lack of a better word."

Sometimes Harris only found out in post-production who was secretly an A-hole when she wasn't looking. "There are some people that, knowing what I know now, yeah, maybe I should have let them go sooner, but I needed to make my own decision. There was maybe one thing about them that I liked and a bunch of things I didn't like, but I needed to sort of hone in on that and figure out what it was I was looking for."

While the many seasons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" still have only resulted in one wedding, Harris is confident she can fulfill the show's promise. "I do know that I'm a really different person than anybody else that's done it. I don't really fit the mold of the typical Bachelorette, and I know that my intentions aren't to get back in the limelight. I don't want to become famous or an actress. I really am just looking to fall in love, and get married and have babies. I will go away gladly. If everybody was looking for the same thing that I was looking for, and they still didn't work out, and if I have found somebody, and if it doesn't work out, that would be devastating, and that would suck, just as any other relationship in real life that doesn't workout. So if I didn't take this opportunity, I would probably still be single, and maybe I wouldn't find anybody for three, four, maybe five years. This was just an opportunity. Wayne Gretzky once said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.' For me it was like, heck with it, have fun, you're going to meet incredible guys. You're going to travel, you're going to learn about yourself, and if you're lucky, if you're a good girl, maybe you'll fall in love."

"The Bachelorette" airs Monday on ABC.
