I will fill you in as soon as more details come in. 

But you know ABC needs this deal really badly since the majority of people watching The Bachelorette this season seem extremely dissatisfied with how things have progressed or regressed, possibly to the point of giving up on the series all together.

But Maynard’s popularity with fans of the show and even with men on the current season of The Bachelortte is undeniable and millions would tune in to see if this beauty and her daughter will find a happy ending. 

And, how much do you want to bet that ABC will be also in talks with Bentley Williams the second the ink is put on a deal with Maynard? As much as we don’t want to admit, I think we would love to see Bentley back on this reality dating show just so we can have a person to bitch about.

Chris Harrison will interview Emily Maynard about her break up with Womack. Will that be the day the next Bachorette will also be announced?

Here’s what Chris told TV Guide about the interview, which airs July 11:

“We’re calling them Bachelor updates, catching up with some of the couples. The first is Brad and Emily, and we’ve actually shot another with Ali and Roberto. If anybody is expecting ‘Jake and Vienna 2’ then they’re sorely mistaken. Emily and Brad very much love each other, very much care about each other and they’re very good people and that definitely comes through. I talk to Brad all the time so I sit down [with Emily] and say, ‘This sucks doing this interview with one person and we’re talking about a friend.’ As far as interviews go, even including Jason/Molly/Melissa this was the most awkward and uncomfortable because Brad wasn’t there.”
