Who Is Your Favorite Bachelorette Ever?

Hooray for the beginning of so-bad-it's-good Summer TV!

Hooray for the beginning of so-bad-it's-good Summer TV! The Bachelorette returns tonight with last season's Bachelor contestant Ali Fedotowsky and 25 brand-new guys ready to woo her.

Fans loved Jillian and her hot dog theory, although I guess the same could be said for Jen Schefft (who infamously turned down both of her suitors) or the originator of the series, Trista Rehn. So, let's discuss: which Bachelorette earns your rose, er, vote as the best of all time?

She said, "Even saving $200 is saving $200."
