Des Hartsock could be the new Bachelorette!

ABC

Desiree Hartsock won everyone over in this season of The Bachelor but was eliminated after hometown visits. Everyone thought she would definitely be the last one standing but unfortunately her “scary” brother had to go and ruin that for her.

Usually whoever comes in third place earns the right to grace us with their presence as the next season’s Bachelor or Bachelorette…BUT Des was spotted in Los Angeles where she was being followed by cameras at the Santa Monica Pier.

It has been reported that she was in final talks to be the new Bachelorette so is that the case. Of course the crew would be sworn to secrecy but that never really stopped them before. Why else would she be prancing around the pier all happy and giddy while shooting what looks like a promo for the show?

“Des was smiling and was happy. She definitely seemed like she was enjoying herself,” a witness at the pier told E! News.

Des was even looking off into the sunset with her cotton candy in hand. How Bachelorette of her.. They could at least be kind of discrete about it!

But of course reps for the show still aren’t talking and the Bachelorette will be revealed during After the Final Rose ceremony, airing after The Bachelor finale on Monday.
