"Bachelor" host Chris Harrison has touted Sean Lowe's latest cast-off, Desiree Hartsock, as the next man-hungry star of "The Bachelorette." Fans poured out their support for 26-year-old Hartsock on Twitter after watching Lowe send her home on Monday night's episode. Harrison tells TV Guide that she is a clear favorite to find her own happy ending on the dating show.

He explains, "I take my response off of Twitter, and so far she has had the biggest response. Sarah (Herron) got a decent response, and we'll see what happens next week. But right now, Des is a big front-runner. She's the beautiful girl-next-door that you want to wish well." Lowe now has three bachelorettes left: Catherine Giudici, Lindsay Yenter and AshLee Frazier will battle for the final rose and proposal next week.

My choice would be Sarah. I think hearts would melt and tears would flow if she was given another chance at finding her true love. Give her a finely tuned lineup of suitors that include a selection of likewise 'abled' young men, maybe toss in a generous handful of gorgeous dis'abled' vets, and a hearty mix of kindhearted hunks. Yippp... I'd be scratchin' like a hen in a corn bin to get control of the remote on show night, but hey... thats just me.

Seans an IDIOT. How many times have you seen a guy go " Oh what a great girl, great personality, body, everything clicks except her brother." He wants a dumb/klingy girl and thats what hes going to get. As far as Bachelorettes, only Dez and Jillian deserved to come back. the rest were retreads that really didnt deserve it.

I am sick of seeing recycled contestants..they already had their chance..and LOST! Give some new people a chance...I agree with "someone"..if they persist in the rehashing, I am done watching.

Enough of the recasting of bachelors/bachelorettes.

Get fresh faces and personalities.

Will not watch anymore if you continue to recycle.

I've even thought of a bachelor/bachelorette show for over 40's. There are so many divorced women and men out there or even single that have never been married before. That would be something I would watch, seeing I'm over 40 divorced, single, no children, traveled the world, served in the military, educated, outspoken, etc. etc. etc. Besides, women in their 40's are in the prime! Sexual prime that is, it would have to be a more rated PG13 kind of show.  I would sign up to be a candidate. Hey why not, lifes too short, would love another chance at LOVE again. Hey Ryan Seacrest, here's another show to add to the millions you already have. But seriously. What do you think?

I think Des is a good candidate for the next Bachelorette. She reminds me so much of the young Katie Holmes, before Tom Cruze got his hands on her.  The only bad thing about Des, is her Ahole brother. This would be a tough one for the gus.

I totally agree with Kathy66.......get some new faces........even go for people a bit older who really still have alot to offer in a relationship including maturity; life experiences; yet also possibly a bit of baggage that affects relationships,....even being divorced will affect your next relationship due to trust issues alone.....but these issues are more "reality" than some 20 somethings who think they just know it all.......still have the ability to experience it all without a show behind them.........people are so sick of reality shows that aren't real.......even the real housewife shows consist of women who aren't even married and housewives.........it's getting stupid out there.......come back to reality and show america what people see and experience everyday......let these young good looking girls make their own way in the world and help some couples that are great also, but just need a lift in the right direction and possibly a break that was long worth waiting for...........

I agree 100%, repeats are the worst! Des is a very likeable woman, but we need new faces. It was bad enough when they brought Emily, Ashley, Ali, Jillian, & DeAnna......  back, it's tiresome ABC, we want NEW FACES! Besides it hasn't worked for any of them except maybe Ashley! You need to do the same with the guys too. NEW MEAT PLEASE!

Any one of the final four, and Selma, would be a great choice for the Bachelorette. I am really enjoying this season. It is so refreshing when the bachelor does not choose the least popular girl (and then wonder why it didn't work out). Loved the shower scene at the end of last night's episode. Way to go Sean!

Why would Des be a good choice if she does not have family support?  It seems to me that would be something important to look at!

 

I'm tired of the "old Bachelor/ettes" being the next one up.  Lets see some new faces!

i really don't think she will be a good one, especially after what her brother did to Sean. It would be nice to see a new unknown face so that America can learn about both the Baccherolette and new suitor to be....i don't think i will watch if Des is the new girl looking for love.
