Bracing myself for another edition of The Bachelor this spring was bad enough, but now there's word from ABC that The Bachelorette is coming back, too. [1] After a three-year hiatus, the dating series will return for its fourth season this summer, subjecting a new woman to a horde of single men.

Granted, it was The Bachelorette that produced Trista and Ryan [2], arguably the most successful pairing in dating-show history. But honestly, isn't this idea completely played out by now? My favorite part of Variety's story: "ABC is keeping a lid on the creative details on the new Bachelorette." Shhhh — A woman is going to date a bunch of men and maybe marry one of them. Don't tell!

Since it's coming back, I suppose we might as well speculate about which spurned Bachelor contestant will be the lucky lady this time around. My money's on Bevin [3]. You?
