It has been officially announced who our next Bachelorette is going to be…Bachelor alumn, Clare Crawley.

If you’re like me, you’re like, “uhhhhhhhhhh, who?!”  There were a few seasons of the Bachelor that I didn’t watch, so this is why I don’t know who she is.  She was on Juan Pablo’s season.  (which, from what I’ve heard about that season, it’s a good thing I missed it)  Check out the announcement from GMA below!

As much as I have ZERO invested interest into Clare, since I missed her time on Juan Pablo’s season and the times she was on BIP, I gotta say…this is going to be a breath of fresh air.  Clare is 38, which hopefully means we’ll FINALLY see some maturity on the show.  Check out Twitter’s reaction to the news below.
