I think it was Lindsay's, but she turned it down. She has a boyfriend.

I think it'll be fun to watch her season and find out if she has a "type".

I remember thinking that Sean would end up with Emily 2.0 but I was surprised at how open he was!

Ooops, saw on Lindsday's thread that she was never offered the Bachelorette!

You knew he was going to be interviewed!

Why Was Desiree Chosen As the Next Bachelorette?

Last night marked not only The Bachelor finale but the official announcement of ABC’s next Bachelorette! And drumroll please, it’s—Desiree Hartsock!
So why did producers decide to choose the 26-year-old brunette?
Bachelor Contestant Desiree Tells Us She Doesn’t Get Asked Out Much!

Sources tell “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” both Lindsay and AshLee were considered but they ultimately decided on Dez because not only she was a fan favorite but because of her “girl next door” vibe.
And we are sure Desiree is happy, considering she told us men aren’t exactly knocking down her door!

Desiree Hartsock Is the Perfect Bachelorette, Says Sean Lowe

He may have sent her home on The Bachelor, but Sean Lowe knows how much America fell in love with Desiree Hartsock.

Which is why he believes she's the perfect choice to be the next star of The Bachelorette, coming this summer.

"They couldn't have chosen a better Bachelorette," Lowe, 29, tells PEOPLE.

"I've said from the beginning, my vote was always for Des. She's America's sweetheart, and I think she's going into it with sincere intentions."



Hartsock, a 26-year-old stylist, has said Lowe "made the best decision that he could" in sending her home in one of the most heartbreaking goodbyes in franchise history.

Of course, not everyone agreed.

"I absolutely got torn to shreds in social media when I sent her home," Lowe says. "America voiced their opinion. They really love her! And I think it's because she's so sweet and so sincere."

He adds: "I think she'll do a great job."

PRESS RELEASE - ENTERTAINMENT - ABC announces Desiree Hartsock as the new "Bachelorette"

FAN FAVORITE DESIREE HARTSOCK, WHO ROSE FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT, HARD WORKING GIRL-NEXT-DOOR LOOKING FOR LOVE, STARS ON "THE BACHELORETTE" WHEN IT RETURNS TO ABC ON MONDAY, MAY 20

Will This Cinderella Find Her Prince Charming?


Desiree Hartsock and the Bachelor Nation faithful thought she would happily end up with America's favorite Bachelor, Sean Lowe. Their relationship started off incredibly strong, but somewhere along the way Desiree lost her confidence. After struggling to regain what they once had, Sean and Desiree seemed to be on the right track - until the hometown dates. Millions watched, stunned, as Sean sent Desiree home, and they fell even more in love with her as she struggled to tell him he was making a big mistake. Now it's time for Desiree to call the shots when she gets her second chance to find love, starring in the ninth edition of ABC's hit romance reality series, "The Bachelorette," which will premiere MONDAY, MAY 20 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. The identity of the new Bachelorette was revealed tonight on ABC's live telecast of "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose."

Please note: "The Bachelorette" will move to its regularly scheduled timeslot, Mondays from 8:00-10:01 p.m., ET on May 27.

Desiree, 26, moved numerous times with her family as a youth and eventually settled in Colorado. After her high school graduation, she moved to California where she attended Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FITM) in Los Angeles. Although her family was of modest means, they were rich in love. Their values helped guide Desiree to become an industrious, passionate and creative woman who loves living in California and working hard to make her dreams come true. She is currently an operations manager at a bridal salon and a bridal stylist, but that hasn't stopped her for shooting for the stars. She is confident that in the future she will be a bridal gown designer who owns her own boutique. But more than anything, Desiree's ultimate dream is to find a love like the one her parents share. Married for 35 years, but together for 40, they've always supported and appreciated one another. It's that cherished model of marriage that led Desiree to be on "The Bachelor," where she fell in love with Sean.

This spunky, athletic and artistic woman is eagerly looking for a life filled with spontaneity, love and laughter. She hopes someday to travel the world with that special someone whom she'll run home to see every day. And she is positive, after falling in love on "The Bachelor," that she can find her soul mate on "The Bachelorette."
