Chris Harrison names 'Bachelorette' front-runner
'Bachelor' host says recently eliminated Desiree Hartsock is the clear favorite

WENN
"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.
