On Monday night’s episode of The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris had to say goodbye to three more men.  Among those cut was 27 year old Sasha Petrovic, an oil and gas consultant from Texas.  Don’t feel sorry for him, though.  In his conference call with the media today, he admits to not feeling any attraction to Jillian as well as opens up about Juan, the most hated bachelor in the house, and who he thinks could steal Jillian’s heart.  Read on for more of his thoughts on his experiences on and off The Bachelorette!

 

On his first impression of Jillian…
“When I first met her, walking out of the limo, I was like, ‘Eeesh, you know, not really, I would say, my type out of the gate.‘  She’s a cute girl, but not that attractive up front.  Her personality was really nice and sweet, but that only gets you so far.”

 

On how he feels about Juan…
“The whole house was against him. It was like instantaneous. Everyone was on it, but David just hates the guy. He’s like, ‘He’s a snake. He’s this he’s that.’ He will bury himself. Everyone thought Juan was a spy, working for the show. He’ll kind of alienate himself, and then when he needs to be in the picture, he’ll look like he’s just one of the guys hanging out when in reality he wasn’t doing any of that.”

 

On the accident that changed his life…
“It was a parents' worse nightmare. It was the second week of college. I was coming home. 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.  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.”

 

On sharing his story with Jillian and then cutting eliminated…
“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.”

 

On who he thinks has the best shot at winning…
“If I had to put money on one guy to, it would almost be a coin toss between Kiptyn and probably Ed. I think her and Ed see eye-to-eye; he does have a different sense of humor, a little dryer. And Kiptyn seems like a safe bet. He’s an older guy. He lives on the West Coast as well. He’s the guy that never does anything bad, but never does anything to differentiate himself.”

 

 

The Bachelorette airs Monday nights at 8pm on ABC.
