The Bachelorette
DeAnna Pappas was the final woman standing in the reality television show The Bachelor finale and was rejected by Brad Womack when he was unable to commit his life to her. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, it was suggested by DeGeneres that Pappas should be the next bachelorette on the show of the same name. ABC executives picked up on that suggestion and surprised Pappas on the talk show Ellen with the announcement that she was ABC's season four bachelorette.
