The Bachelorette premieres in less than two weeks.

The counterpart to Matt Grant, DeAnna Pappas will star the lucky woman who will be courted by 25 men.

Pappas was one of the last women standing on The Bachelor season starring Brad Womack. After he dumped Jenni Croft at the final rose ceremony, that jackass opted to dump DeAnna too. Stunning and bizarre.

Despite the heartache of losing the man she loved, DeAnna Pappas has bounced back and is ready to give love another shot... on reality TV!

This week, ABC released the identities of the 25 men who will be competing for DeAnna's love and affection on The Bachelorette...

ABC unveiled its summer schedule this week, and reality TV shows are not scarce by any means. One of the most anticipated? The Bachelorette, which stars the lovely DeAnna Pappas, and kicks off Monday, May 19 at 9 p.m.

Back in February, ABC hosted a search to find a group of intelligent, good looking, charismatic, and single men for DeAnna Pappas to choose from.

In total, The Bachelorette hit 10 different states looking for different men to make up the cast, and also accepted video submissions from dudes.

DeAnna Pappas' heart was broken by Brad Womack on a devastating season finale of The Bachelor. Millions of Americans watched as that ass clown Brad acted like he was going to propose, then got cold feet at the last instant. Ouch!!

In a special that aired afterwards, DeAnna's heartache was plain as day, but she stated that she was a strong person who would be able to move on.

Move on she has.

Hopefully, she'll find that special someone that she has been searching for when she meets 25 hot bachelors who all came on the show just to meet her. OMG!

This should be good. We're so excited to see DeAnna Pappas back on TV.

In other reality TV dating news, there's a new show coming out called The Farmer Wants a Wife. Yes, we're serious. Thank goodness for DeAnna.

When The Bachelor finishes each dramatic season, only one thing is certain: the final couple has a long way to go.

More often than not, the long road ends in heartbreak.

While updates are often found on the bachelors themselves after the glow of the show has faded, the same cannot be said for the women.

ABC has this decided to shine a light on the forgotten women, giving Matt Grant a glimpse of what his turn as The Bachelor may result in.

  Andy Baldwin and Tessa Horst dated for a few months at least.

On March 10, ABC will air a special, The Bachelor: Where Are They Now? Host Chris Harrison will visit some of the past bachelors and competitors.

In addition to rekindling some couples' heartbreak, the special will visit one couple to come out of the series, Trista and Ryan Sutter.

Fans of last season's The Bachelor are also in luck as both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft - spurned by Brad Womack - will offer updates.

DeAnna Pappas will star on The Bachelorette for ABC this summer.

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.

We heard from Brad Womack earlier. Now it's time to hear what DeAnna Pappas - one of the two women he shockingly rejected on The Bachelor finale - has to say about the ordeal. Here are excerpts from an interview she did with BuddyTV ...

BuddyTV: Now how long into the process did you really start to think that things could be serious with Brad Womack?

DeAnna Pappas: I knew from the first moment that I sat down and talked to Brad that we had a very strong connection. I truly felt that I was meant to be with this person. But it wasn't until he went to my hometown and Brad got to meet my family, that I realized I was actually falling in love with him.

DeAnna Pappas was rejected by Brad Womack at the last minute.

BuddyTV: Have you guys had any contact since?

DeAnna Pappas: I have had contact with Brad. Yes.

BuddyTV: There's a lot of rumors going around as to why he pick either of you. Do you, at this point, have any idea as to why he opted out?

DeAnna Pappas: I do, and I don't believe any of the rumors. I don't listen to them because I know that Brad is very genuine. He is a great person and one of the most amazing men I've ever met. I truly believe he just got completely confused.

BuddyTV: Do you have any sympathetic feelings toward Jenni Croft?

DeAnna Pappas: Of course. Jenni is a great person with a big heart. And to see her standing there smiling, I mean, I don't feel like she had any clue that he wasn't going to pick her, and my heart just went out to her.

In the now-infamous final rose ceremony on the November 19 season finale of The Bachelor, Austin, Texas bar entrepreneur Brad Womack made reality TV history when he shockingly kissed both of the show's finalists... goodbye.

Both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft were stunned by the move - along with millions of viewers of The Bachelor watching at home.

Brad Womack offered vague explanations in a special after-show, but this week, he told Us Weekly the real reason he let both of the ladies go.

"[DeAnna Pappas] and I had something that's pretty special. But I did not see this crazy love that would turn into a lifetime," says a single Brad.

Brad Womack: Still single and trying to explain his dubious actions.

"I'm looking for the same things that I said all along â€" a best friend, a life-long partner and someone to fall madly in love with," Womack said. "I didn't want to lead anybody on. I was very honest with both of the ladies about that."

Brad had no comment on a recent story by E! Online insinuating that he really wanted Bettina Bell, but knew it wouldn't work after a bad family visit.

At least Jenni Croft has already moved on. That much we know.

Fans have been searching far and wide for possible insight into the mind of Brad Womack, who spurned both Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas last week on the finale of The Bachelor. Now an insider has shed new light on the situation.

According to Kristin Veitch of E! Online, the real reason for Brad Womack's often criticized and shocking decision to choose either Jenni or DeAnna in the finale had, in reality, little to do with Jenni nor DeAnna, but with Bettina Bell.

Says a rock-solid source: "Brad was really into Bettina, who made it to the final four. But when he went to visit her parents, Bettina's father was so awful to him, Brad knew it wouldn't work. So, he was just sort of over the whole thing."

Was Bettina Bell behind Brad Womack's bungled Bachelor finale?

Brad visited Bettina's home in the sixth episode of this season (the reality show's 11th) and Bell's father sort of sealed her fate when he said he was "disappointed" by Brad's lack of a college degree, as well as with Womack's career choice.

Brad had only known Bettina Bell for a few weeks at the time, and being torn apart on national TV is not the sort of thing you want in a first impression.

So does this make Brad Womack's decision better or worse?

Obviously it's still painful for DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft, who had their hearts ripped out on TV, and for viewers, who felt like they themselves got robbed. But this certainly casts Womack - and Bettina Bell - in a new light.

Last night, Brad faced both Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas, as well as all of America, to answer their questions on what went wrong on The Bachelor.

Host Chris Harrison interviews Jenni, who admits she was completely shocked Brad didn't choose her. She felt "mislead" by Brad Womack, especially given many little comments that he'd said to her along the way.

Jenni shows class in saying how disappointed she was to see Brad Womack do the same thing to DeAnna Pappas, especially given the way it was handled (giving her that ray of hope just as he dropped the "but").

Jenni Croft says Brad should have given someone a chance, even in the form of dating. But next we get to hear what DeAnna Pappas has to say.

She still seems confused, a little bit angry... and maybe a little hopeful that Brad will reverse his decision on this night and choose her for real.

In the end, Brad Womack stood alone.

"I'm angry because it's so confusing... did he think something better was going to come along?" DeAnna said, admitting that she's thought about him every day since and she'd say yes if he asked her for another chance.

Brad Womack then arrives to a mixture of applause and boos. He says that he made his decision because he didn't want to make any false promises. Boo.

Chris lets it slip that Brad actually asked the network fly DeAnna's father out for the final ceremony, so Brad could ask for her hand in marriage. His gut told him something was wrong when he went to buy the ring, however.

Jenni Croft comes out to join him and Brad Womack says it "hurts deep" to have Jenni lose respect for him. He feels he showed respect by walking.

DeAnna takes Jenni Croft's place then and is nervous. "Please don't hold it against me that I didn't fall in love. I'm just as heartbroken as you are."

Brad says to DeAnna Pappas that he thinks about her every single day, and just as it sounds like maybe he might be going to throw us for another loop by taking her back, DeAnna tries to force the issue... and Brad Womack replies that he's "very confident" in his decision, crushing her once again.

DeAnna can't hold back and cries, "[You're] the one person that I trusted most out of all of this, and you broke my heart."
