Ali Fedotowsky’s quest to find a husband will begin May 24 and take her around the world.  ABC revealed the new bachelorette will travel to Hollywood, Las Vegas, New York, Iceland, Istanbul, Lisbon and Tahiti.  Wow!  That’s a lot of traveling.  The budget for this season must have been huge to accommodate all this.

She will meet her 25 admirers in Malibu where we will see an outdoorsman, a skier who does a backflip off the limousine and another who immediately proposes.  Once they are in the mansion the showing off for her attention begins.  We will hear some singing with a little ukulele playing.  She will get a salsa dance lesson and have a song sung to her.  One guy rips his shirt open to show his wrestler abs and a country guy gives her a wooden necklace while another made her a scrapbook.  Good Lord, can we say cheesy??

Ali will give out a first impression rose and the guys get to vote for one they don’t feel is right for her and one guy receives an overwhelming number.  Expect tensions to rise and tempers to flare.  The premier will conclude with Ali choosing 17 of the 25. 

Some dates in the United States will include concerts by Jamie Cullum, The Barenaked Ladies, and Joshua Radim and the Harlem Boys Choir as well as seeing the broadway musical The Lion King.

Other memorable dates will include taking a helicopter ride over Iceland’s volcano that erupted a few days after they left.  Watching the guys battle with olive oil wrestlers in Istanbul, and a romantic evening in a castle in Lisbon.  The remaining 3 will travel for overnight dates in Tahiti.

I wonder if Ali will wear her hair up the entire season or let it down every once in a while?  I don’t think I’ve ever seen it down  Are you ready for this season of The Bachelorette?
