Desiree Hartsock Talks New Season of THE BACHELORETTE

Speaking to reporters by phone today, ABC's new BACHELORETTE Desiree Hartsock spoke about her experiences on the upcoming reality dating show. "The journey was incredibly emotional and it was really surprising throughout, but unfortunately I can't comment on [the outcome] at this time," says Desiree. "I'm glad that I did decide to do the show. I was satisfied with my decisions throughout, I followed and trusted my heart."

On the season's first episode, Hartsock has a rather awkward moment with one of the contestants involving the show's 'Fantasy Suite.' "It was very uncomfortable, but I kind of took it like I would in my day-to-day life -- I disregarded his behavior and didn't stand for it," she explained to the press.

Asked about the experience in general, Des responds, "It is very emotional and it's a personal journey, so I needed to make sure I wanted to share that with the world. The feelings that do develop are very real ... Yes, there's gonna be tears. But I really wanted to Go On this show with all of my emotions being shown."

"The Bachelorette" premieres Monday, May 27 on ABC.
