DeAnna Pappas, a 25-year-old realtor from Newnan, GA, was a contestant on The Bachelor season 11 with Brad Womack.

DeAnna Pappas showed up on Brad's radar about halfway through their time filming the show.  He never doubted his attraction to her, happily giving her a rose week after week.  While many of the girls did not like her because she spoke her mind, Brad liked that she didn't want to play games and was up front about how she felt.  She made it to the final two and Brad planned to propose to her, even flying her father out for the event.  On the morning of, he had a change of heart and broke up with her instead.  On the "After The Final Rose" special, she cried that he broke her heart and even talked about giving him a second chance.  In her BuddyTV interview, she said that she has had contact with Brad since the show ended but is trying to move on.

After her heartbreak on The Bachelor, ABC selected DeAnna as their newest Bachlorette in the fourth installment of The Bachelorette, and will be looking for love with 25 new men.
