RUSSELL WOODS (Booted from ''The Bachelorette on Feb. 5)

FUN FACT Describes his unpublished novel as '''Bridget Jones's Diary' for men.''

Q Do you feel all emasculated and weird now?
A Absolutely. When I was standing there in that first rose ceremony with 24 studs and Trista's picking 15 guys, I felt like the biggest piece of meat.

Q How does it feel to lose to a guy who writes poems about Shamu?
A Ryan is one of my closest friends on the show...so I have nothing bad to say about him.

Q How much of the time were you drunk?
A I drank more in the first week of dating than I did in the six months leading up to the show.

Q You were never known as the drunk guy, though.
A First I was Tiffany Guy, then Aggressive Guy, now Argumentative Guy. Whatever.

Q Dude, what was up with all the sweating on your date in Sedona?
A The reality is I was sitting next to a fireplace about a foot and a half away from me and it was about 100 degrees during that whole thing. I was baking. Now I guess I'm shiny guy!
