Stephanie Hogan is speaking out for the first time to dish on her “Bachelor” experience. In a new interview, she says she was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback from fans. The big question is, would she accept the offer of becoming the new Bachelorette?

She gives the Insider the scoop:

Despite the fact that she isn’t the one who won Jason’s heart, Stephanie still feels that their friendship will endure. “I had such a bond with Jason,” she continues. “I think that he is an incredible man. Even though we didn’t have that physical connection, that chemistry, I still think our friendship will remain strong. Who knows? There are so many avenues we connect on, especially being single parents with kids the same age.”

Since she has returned home, Stephanie says she is focusing on her four-year-old daughter Sophia and her career as a medical marketing representative, so she hasn’t gotten back into the dating pool. That could leave the door open for her to be the next Bachelorette.

“First of all, I think it would be a few months until they asked me. Nobody has said anything about that. I would evaluate that and see where I am in my life. I hope to have some good fellows come out of this. I could be dating someone at that time and, if it was serious, I would want to honor his wishes and not do it. If I were single, I would probably do it.”

Hopefully, Stephanie will be chosen as the next Bachelorette. She has our vote and several others. Don’t forget to show Stephanie some love and sign our petition to make her the next Bachelorette.
