It could be the sassiest "The Bachelorette" in the show's history, later this year. Jillian Harris who has been confirmed to be the fifth bachelorette reportedly has contracted Jason Mesnick-syndrome where she will provide a twist to the reality show.

In its report, OK! quoted a source who informs that the woman who finished third in "The Bachelor" is sharpening her "edge". The source said, "Everyone who saw Jillian on The Bachelor has the idea that she is a goody-two-shoes. On the show they will reveal that she's capable of creating controversy. The producers would love it if The Bachelorette ends just as dramatically as The Bachelor."

Jason proposed to Melissa Rycroft on the season finale, but broke up with her on national TV six weeks later, only to go with Molly Malaney whom he dumped in the finale. Apparently Jillian is said to create such controversy in the show. "You'll see her really manipulating them in a way previous Bachelorettes haven't," the source continued. "You may see her lying to the guys, misleading them about what she's really looking for. She may not be a fan favorite by the time she's down to her final choice, but it's all about ratings."

"The Bachelorette" premieres on May 17 on ABC.
