If you’re attentively watching ABC’s “The Bachelor” this season, you know that one of the women constantly has a black bar following her around because she has a habit of wearing severely skimpy bikini bottoms.

That would be Jillian Anderson, a former Fox News producer based in the Washington bureau.

On Sunday night, Chris Soules, the Iowa farmer who’s looking for his wife, revealed why he cut her loose. But not before admitting that she was initially among his top three picks.

“Did you like Jillian or did you like the short shorts?” asked host Chris Harrison.

Pressing the bachelor further, Harrison remarked, “You liked Jillian a lot.”

The bachelor explained, “Yeah, I did, early on…she was in my top three. I wasn’t opposed to the extremely small bikini, I’m not going to lie. I’m a man after all.”

He continued, “I was really excited, but during the one-on-one time, things changed.

Namely, the “core” of what he saw in Jillian and “some of the comments” she made.

Pan to Jillian asking the bachelor to choose between two evils: “Would you rather have sex with a homeless girl — bird in her hair, the whole nine — or abstain from sex for five years?”

(The line is actually quite funny, but the Iowa farmer didn’t laugh. He said they weren’t in the same “state of mind.”)

Despite her ass being a hot topic among the women and tripping at a rose ceremony, Jillian’s time on the show had its successes. She did succeed in smooching Soles in a hot tub. She also snuck over to his bachelor pad and rummaged through his room as another contestant donned his motorcycle helmet and began smashing her head against the brick wall.

Harrison summed things up nicely: “This season has everything … including a dose of crazy.”
