As the star of the new Bachelorette -- premiering next Monday --- Ali Fedotowsky will get to choose from 25 men vying for her love.
Yet the 25-year-old reality star (who bowed out of contention for Jake Pavelka's hand in the most recent season of The Bachelor) harbors major insecurities, show host Chris Harrison says.
"Everyone brings their own baggage to the show," Harrison told UsMagazine.com at Sunday's Disney/ABC Television Group Summer Press Junket in Burbank, Calif.. "Ali [is] a girl that has in the past been hurt before."

"The more I got to to know her, the more I realize she's this strong, independent, beautiful woman, but very vulnerable."
He continued: "She really had this fear of almost being rejected. Like, 'Yes, I'm going to fall in love, but I'm really worried that I'm not going to get love back.'...Everyone has their kind of bones in the closet that they have to deal with. Hers was 'I'm going to put myself out there. I really think I'm going to fall in love, but are these guys going to love me back?'"

"There is a phenomenal ending," Harrison told Us of the new season. "Whether it's happy or not – I'll say this: Ali had to make a very tough choice at the end, several tough choices, and I think she's satisfied with how it ends and satisfied with her choice."

Any drama in the vein of Rozlyn Papa, booted early from the show after allegations of her affair with a show producer?
"God, I hope not," Harrison said.

one guy is 34 a little old for the 24 year old Ali. I wonder if he will get cut first?
"luckygma" obviously you don't have better things to do with your time if your commenting on a website about how you don't like someone! also, people, nobody cares if you don't plan on watching it. just cause you hate her doesnt mean everyone else does. ive never watched this show but i plan on it this season. she seems like a guinine girl and i want her to find love. she is a lot more real than vienna. even though i don't know them personally i still like ali better.ali is more beautiful and more real than any of you jealous bi.tches on this website. hope y'alls lives get a little less pathetic so you don't have to resort to bashing people you don't even know!! :)
grannyjan everyone thats ditching her shut up she better then all u so just be quiet dont be jealous baby
go ali u know wat i like her from the start and i am gonna watch this show luckgma ok ha she's nice
Ali is a mean girl. I won't be watching the show this time because she makes me sick. I have better things to do with my time,
Tenley and Kiptyn are dating!! I saw them out together last week. They make a cute couple.
She is the worst choice ever for the Bachelorette. What was the show thinking? Think I'm gonna skip this season for the first time. Oh, I forgot, I skipped the Charlie O'Connell season, too. Boring!
The phoniest one yet!
Tired as it may be, and as contrived as it gets, I confess I am compelled to watch it each season. Sure it's junk food for the mind, but it's fun and innocent escapism. I would say if it isn't fun for you, makes you angry, bothers you, or you don't like the show. Don't click on the articles about it, or waste your time commenting on it. You will be happier for sticking with those things you enjoy and all of us who enjoy the show will too.
If you put on a bigger pout, you will trip on your bottom lip!!! You need some serious counseling girl!
This show is sooooo old! If these dumb people want to go on a television show which handpicked random people for them, so be it. But, why would you waste the precious gift of finding someone to spend your life with picked out by ABC? Don't get it.
I've never watched it either Mila however that was my impression as well. And sorry but if you have to go on TV to get/find a man that alone makes you quite pathetic!
I am tired of contestants being recycled on both shows. Every Bachelorette had been on the Bachelor and for the past few seasons, every Bachelor had been on the Bachelorette. Get some new people!
BTW I've never watched this show, so if I'm way off.... apologies. Lol.
Wow she looks like she has no confidence. And sounds like it too!!! What man wants to be around someone that's gonna be depressed all the time?? Know how to make someone love you back? LOVE YOURSELF FIRST!!! Gawd, she looks like she's whiney and looking for someone to validate her. Go get some confidence, girly, THEN try to find a man.
Just had to comment on her whiney, annoying, pathetic-ness! Good luck ABC who wants to voluntarily hear that crap week after week. Didn't hate her til she showed that she's a crying, insecure, 12 year old with the last Major CheeseWad (Jake has to be thee phoniest human being alive).
I'm sick of looking at her pathetic face! What a whiny little brat. I checked out Reality Steve to see the final 2 guys, all the guys look like sissy's!
She bugs me sooo whiney! I really think she thinks it's cute to act all babyish!
I might just be one of the only people left in America who hasn't seen a single episode of the bachelor, the bachelorette, survivor, the amazing race, or any of those shows. From the outside looking in (i.e. reading about it online, etc) it seems very forced. How are they sure that one of those 25 people are 'the One' for her? It's like having 25 candy bars to choose from, but the only one I wanted was hersey's with almonds and they didn't have it, so I'll settle with plain hersey's? It's inconceivable to actually think you can 'find love' from a group picked out by producers who are trying to sell your love life for a profit and to get ratings. Someone please stop the madness. Too many people have been hurt.
