Though she failed to earn Brad Womack's final rose on this season of The Bachelor, Ashley Hebert will get a second chance at love on the new season of The Bachelorette.
The announcement was made on Monday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live, a couple hours after Bachelor finale.

Jimmy Kimmel jokingly asked the new Bachelorette to swear a solemn oath: "Do you promise, on national television, to date 25 men simultaneously without complaining? Do you promise to make sure the hot tubs are clean and have enough chlorine and their bacteria levels are low?"
Fans came to know the flirty dental student, 26, as she competed for Womack's love and attention on the most recent season, won by Emily Maynard.
Though her jealousy toward her fellow contestants was often evident during Womack's season, the third-place finisher says things will be different now that she has a whole new crop of bachelors competing to win her heart.

"I think it all worked out for the best," the brand-new reality star said on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Hebert's search for love begins May 23 on ABC.

Tell Us What You Think
25Ashley Hebert is hot
They made the right choice on Ashley H.
Terrible choice - she was so whiney and booooooooring! Another season like Deanna who had the personality of a dry piece of toast! And the extensions she had on jimmy kimmel were super fug!!!
She won't be able to handle it
I was hoping for the other Ashley! Boo.
Seriously?!? Michelle would have been soo much more entertaining and interesting.
Out of all these seasons, how many have actually stayed engaged and later married? All I know is Trista and Ryan.
At this rate, will she ever graduate from dental school? First she gets a break to film the Bachelor now the Bachelorette?
i think they should have choose the other ashley i do not like the other one she is tooooooo boring and this makes me not want to watch the bachelor anymore. thanks abc.
Yuck, Yuck, Yuck. Whiney, annoying, not cute. Thanks ABC for ruining a good thing. Definitely will NOT be watching this boring girl.
they chose the worst person out of that season!she won't believe in anyone's feelings for her.if chantel hadn't met someone else already she would be perfect for the show!
you all suck! Ashley is so sweet and so deserving of this. She's a hardworking woman and it's great that she's going to get her chance to loosen up and live life to the fullest.
This ones going to be boring ! Not sure if I'm going to watch it ! ABC should have picked TH funeral home gal . I would have liked to see how many would climb back onto the corners table. !
I do not like the choice at all. Did u see her on the girls reunion show. She was so painted up and I don't think she has the right personality and I think they should have found a brand new girl.
I can't believe they didn't choose Michelle Money. Ashley is super boring.
yawn fest- I agree with Lisa, not at all interested in watching. Really this was the best they could do over at ABC?
what a snooze fest. Not sure if I'll be watching this one.
She seems nice and I hope she finds love, but I am not intrigued by this choice at all.
Definitely disappointed! They should have picked the other Ashley!!!
Boo! Ashley was nice & all but not deserving of the Bachelorette! Why not give someone else a chance in the world? I am sure there are many people interested in being the Bachelorette or Bachelor, stop re-using people that already had their chance! DISAPPOINTING!
