The fourth season of the ABC reality television series The Bachelorette premiered on May 19, 2008, following a three-year absence of the show. This season featured Deanna Pappas, who had previously been rejected by Brad Womack during the eleventh season of The Bachelor, as she courted a group of 25 men. This installment marked a significant change for the franchise, as it was the first time that The Bachelor and its spin-offs expanded their total season duration from 60 to 120 minutes. Throughout the season, Pappas engaged with the contestants to find a romantic partner. In the season finale, DeAnna chose Jesse Csincsak over Jason Mesnick. Although a wedding between DeAnna and Jesse was scheduled for May 9, 2009, the couple broke up in November 2008. Deanna later made a return to the franchise for one episode during the thirteenth season of The Bachelor. The series itself is a spin-off of The Bachelor and debuted on ABC on January 8
