The Bachelorette
News (Page 7)

After losing out on reality TV love on the last season of The Bachelor, the lovely DeAnna Pappas is ready for another go at it.

A real estate agent from Neunan, Ga., DeAnna will headline the next season of The Bachelorette, which will air this summer.

Maybe ABC saw our moving tribute to DeAnna Pappas!

The 26-year-old endured a painful, last-minute rejection by Brad Womack on the controversial Bachelor season finale last November.

He had even flown her father in and implied he was going to pick her, but Womack rejected Pappas, as well as her adversary, Jenni Croft.

Sickening. But that's water under the bridge now. All we have to say is this: Best. Bachelorette. Ever. Welcome back, DeAnna Pappas!

There's nothing official about this DeAnna Pappas tribute - it's just a collection of highlights of DeAnna Pappas' stint on The Bachelor, compiled and edited by one of her many online fans. But we thought we'd share!

Take a look at this video and tell us that the strong, sassy, sexy DeAnna - who was inexplicably spurned on The Bachelor - shouldn't be the next Bachelorette!

ABC recently announced that in addition to the new season of The Bachelor that will air this spring, The Bachelorette will return this summer.

DeAnna Pappas, who along with Jenni Croft was famously rejected on the last season finale of The Bachelor, is first on many lists of prime candidates for The Bachelorette. What kind of star would she make on this hit spin-off?

If she were to become The Bachelorette, DeAnna told BuddyTV:

"I would approach the experience with a very open mind. I would also do my best to try to be very understanding considering I would know exactly what the guys are going through! I will approach it with the hope of finding one amazing man that hopefully I can live happily ever after with in the end."

Seen here flirting with Brad Womack, DeAnna Pappas also talked about what kind of dates she would like to plan if she were The Bachelorette.

"[Brad Womack] told us he was able to help the producers with some of the ideas for the dates... the circus date, the pool date, etc. Those types of dates were my favorite because I am so a low key, easy to please person," she said.

"I'm not a very girly girl. Diamonds and fancy dresses don't impress me! Flowers either for that matter. I guess if I could choose the dates, I would love to go to a baseball game and drink beer! A football game even. Maybe something active like white water rafting or on a boat at the lake. That's real life for me."

Whether or not DeAnna Pappas becomes The Bachelorette is not known, but let Reality TV Scoop join the chorus of sites championing her candidacy.

As we anticipate another season of The Bachelor - premiering March 17 - ABC has announced a new season of The Bachelorette for this summer.

The Bachelorette first premiered in January 2003, featuring original The Bachelor runner-up Trista Rehn as the object of affection. She ended up marrying Ryan Sutter (pictured), the only pairing from either of these dating shows that has ever lasted.

No word yet on who The Bachelorette will be. But here's hoping for DeAnna Pappas!

Their courtship was televised.

As well as their wedding planning, and the actual ceremony.

But if you were hoping you'd see Trista Sutter give birth to her first child with Ryan Sutter on camera, in an up-close, gruesome scene a la Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up, well... you have problems.

Although even that might be more fun to watch than a tape of Jennifer Toof naked.

No, fans of The Bachelorette's Trista and Ryan Sutter apparently won't be seeing the birth of the couple's first child later this summer.

"One hundred percent no!" Trista said in the new issue of OK! when asked if there would be a new reality show following the soon-to-be first-time parents.

"When it comes to cameras being in your life 24 hours a day, that's something we're in total agreement will never be happening again. That's how we met and we're appreciative of that, but that won't be happening. Sorry to the public if they're wanting to see any of the birth!"

It's okay. We'll always have Pageant Place.

Trista Sutter, a 34-year-old purse designer and former physical therapist, and Ryan, a 32-year-old fireman, met on The Bachelorette in 2002.

Trista Sutter was spurned on the previous season of The Bachelor, but producers loved her so much that they gave her a spin-off.

More than 30 million people watched as Trista Rehn chose Ryan Sutter as her man during ABC's February 2003 broadcast of The Bachelorette's first season.

Ten months later, ABC aired a three episode series that detailed the events leading up to their December 2003 wedding ceremony. Over 17 million viewers watched Trista and Ryan exchange vows on ABC's Trista & Ryan's Wedding.

In February 2007, Trista and Ryan - who's friends with reigning Bachelor Andy Baldwin - announced they were expecting their first child.
