The Bachelorette: Starts tonight!!!!

For those of you out there who have never watched an episode of the Bachelor or Bachelorette, I suggest you start now. I have been a fan of this show for many seasons now and am always enamored by the newest seasons and cast! Well tonight is the night for Bachelorette, Emily Maynard, to take center stage and have 25 men compete for her attention and her heart. (click the "read more" button below for the entire post :] )

We all saw Emily's journey on Brad Womack's season of the Bachelor. From the beginning she was obviously the front runner for Brad's heart. Not that we didn't like any of the other women (I mean come on, Ashley was probably one of my all time favorite Bachelorette's), however Emily just seemed to fit with Brad excellently. After the season ended things seemed to begin to change for the couple that the majority of America was rooting for, and before we knew it the headlines were stating the end of Brad and Emily. As sad as we all were, there was a silent hope that one day Emily would take another chance at love by being the Bachelorette.

Well, the time has come for us to sit back and watch Emily call the shots in her hometown!!! It airs tonight on ABC at 8:30 Central time!

Here are a few sneak peak photos of tonight's episode...
