We wouldn't exactly file this under The Bachelorette spoilers you should avert your eyes from, but it is worth noting as we gear up for the May 27 premiere:

Desiree Hartsock may be getting it ON in the Fantasy Suite!

If you remember Sean Lowe's overnight dates on The Bachelor, you know what a buzzkill he was. Good for him for sticking to his virtues, but zzzzzzz.

AshLee Frazier, Catherine Guidici and Lindsay Yenter all experienced a lot of passionate hand-holding and talking about feelings. That's about it.

Not exactly mesmerizing TV. Which makes this Fantasy Suite-centric note from ABC's official Bachelorette season synopsis all the more intriguing:

The Bachelorette star Desiree Hartsock says she has a good idea what she's after - and what she wants to avoid - when her quest for love kicks off May 27.

"I like someone who's spontaneous, adventurous and enjoys every aspect of life," says the 26-year-old, who vied for Sean Lowe's heart on The Bachelor.

"And, not to get too serious, but someone who could be my best friend and a support system, someone who I can see as the father of my kids."

She does not have to look far for inspiration.

"My parents have been together 40 years and married for 35," she says. "My dad has her back no matter what. She's so affectionate to him. They act like they are 16."

She captured America's heart. He broke hers.

So it begins again. Desiree Hartsock, who came close to winning Sean Lowe's final rose on The Bachelor, will be the one doling them out this summer.

ABC has released its first promos for The Bachelorette, premiering Monday, May 27. You won't believe this, but the brunette beauty is living a fairy tale:

The Bachelorette Promo: Desiree's Turn!

In the much-anticipated premiere, Desiree Hartsock is introduced to some good-looking, confident fellas, including one dressed up as a knight in shining armor.

Good one. She's also asked if she will accept ... THESE ABS!?!

Desiree Hartsock is close to wrapping her season of The Bachelorette, and on one episode, she receives advice from a person who knows the process well.

Catherine Giudici!

Her former Bachelor romance rival, who won Sean Lowe's heart over Des, showed up in Portugal to advise Desiree on who to pick. What a good sport.

Catherine Guidici, 26, is currently happily engaged to Sean, 29, who sent home Desiree, 26, after the hometown dates on The Bachelor this winter.

For Desiree Hartsock, it is her time to dream.

The 26-year-old bridal stylist, who made it to the final four on The Bachelor before having her heart broken by Sean Lowe, will star as The Bachelorette May 27.

ABC has released a pair of images for Des' season, featuring the California cutie holding a bouquet of roses ... and wearing a dress fashioned out of them:

"I just can't even believe I'm here," she said last month. "I just feel so thankful."

"I'm very hopeful in all of this and I do hope to meet the man of my dreams."

Excited for Desiree Hartsock as The Bachelorette? Vote below ...

Sorry, Bachelor Nation. You'll have to wait an extra seven days for the return of that cutie Desiree Hartsock, as ABC has pushed back the start of her season.

The network will now air a new scripted series called Motive after Dancing With the Stars on May 20, when The Bachelorette was supposed to premiere.

Motive will move to its regular Thursday home on May 23 (Thursday), but will receive a boost from DWTS on its premiere date (or so the network notes).

The Bachelorette, meanwhile, is now scheduled to premiere at 8 p.m. on May 27, with spurned Sean Lowe suitor Desiree Hartsock handing out the roses.

You excited to see her in the role?

The 17th season of ABC's The Bachelor has ended, with Catherine Giudici and Sean Lowe engaged and (hopefully) headed for the altar later this year.

The show's lawsuit with the perennial thorn in its side has also ended, as NZK Productions and "Reality" Steve Carbone have reached a settlement.

Steve was sued before the 16th season, starring Ben Flajnik, but that too was settled. But then he posted spoilers for each of the past two seasons.

As a result, Steve was charged with breaching the settlement agreement, and responded with anti-SLAPP motion, asserting 1st Amendment protection.

Desiree Hartsock may not have won The Bachelor, but the fourth-place finisher will be handing out the roses as the new Bachelorette starting May 20.

The cutie said on The Bachelor: After The Final Rose special that she is “ready and open” to “to meet the man of her dreams” come this summer.

Despite the fact that she made it far and became a fan favorite, we still don't know that much about her. So here are some fun Desiree Hartsock facts:

1. She is a bridal stylist and a designer in Los Angeles. That will certainly come in handy if, as she hopes, she'll be wearing her own before too long!

2. She designed her own dress for the opening rose ceremony when she wowed Sean Lowe. Who is now engaged to Catherine Giudici, but still!
