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!
