"The Bachelorette 2011" on ABC stars Ashely Hebert, who couldn't admit she was in love with Brad Womack on "The Bachelor 2011" — and it might have cost her the final rose — but that's all in the past. The energetic and vivacious Hebert, who is ready to start a new life with a soul mate she might soon meet, will get a second opportunity to find love when she stars in "The Bachelorette" Season 7.
Ashley, 26, who currently resides in Philadelphia, where she is finishing her degree in dentistry, went from being one of the favorites to capture Brad's heart on the just completed Season 15 of ABC's hit romance reality series, "The Bachelor," to narrowly missing her goal of finding a future husband. Ashley and Brad clicked on their enchanting first date at a private carnival, discovering an electric connection and sharing a magical first kiss. After showing Brad her charming hometown and his meeting her family, the rollercoaster ride took them to South Africa, where, in a stunning turnaround, their relationship fell apart. It seemed the couple wanted different things out of life. Ashley was frustrated she couldn't communicate her feelings to Brad, and he gallantly decided to let her go before the rose ceremony, knowing he would not offer her a rose. Ashley was surprised and heartbroken that her perfect fairytale came to an abrupt end. It would take her time to find the silver lining to this bad situation and move forward.
That time has come and now Hebert, stronger and more confident than ever, is prepared to find a balance between her career and personal life and find the love of her life. She fell in love once on "The Bachelor," so she truly believes that it will happen again — and this time she will be ready and open to express her feelings to the right guy.
Hosted by Chris Harrison, "The Bachelorette 2011" is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton are the executive producers.
Season 6
On "The Bachelorette" 2010, Ali Fedotowsky has finally decided to risk it all for love. The energetic and charismatic career-oriented woman from San Francisco has re-prioritized her life — and now love comes out on top. She will have her own opportunity to find her soul mate when she stars in Season 6 of "The Bachelorette."
Ali, 25, has been a fan favorite from the moment she stepped out of the limo with her sexy raspy voice and a peacock feather to meet Jake Pavelka on the last season of "The Bachelor." She became the front-runner for Jake's heart, but instead they found themselves in a heartbreaking situation when she made a gut-wrenching decision to choose a job she loved over the man she loved. Ali made the surprising safe choice to go back to work, but regretted it immediately. By the time she sorted out her work affairs, Jake had already moved on with his search for love with the three fabulous women who stayed with him, and he did not allow Ali to return. But it's not too late for Ali now. Admitting that she made one of the biggest mistakes of her life, she has let go of everything this time — her apartment, her job, her stability — to really make a life-changing commitment to put her heart first.
Season 5
Jillian Harris, the intelligent, independent, passionate woman who fell just short of her goal — hoping that Jason Mesnick could be her best friend, soul mate and future husband on the just completed hit season of "The Bachelor" — will have her own opportunity to find true love, starring in the fifth edition of ABC's "The Bachelorette."
Enthusiastic about her work and life in general, Jillian is ready to find her best friend and settle down and is confident that she can find the love of her life on "The Bachelorette 5." Jillian is an only child and is excited at the thought of starting her own family.
