CutiePie2000, ITA about the nasty that is that picture. IMO The Bachelorette tried to "class up" Deanna as a southern belle, but in reality she's not at all that. Reminds me of the NASCAR date when Sean told her they had so much in common because of their redneck pasts and she BRISTLED. heh.
There's a lot of buzz about Jason being the next Bachelor, to the point of Chris Harrison going on the record about it:

Please no. I don't want Ty to be exploited. I thought Jeremy was an automaton for most of the season, but I'd rather see him as the Bachelor than Jason. Of course my first choice would be someone new.
The link above further confirms that the Bachelor will NOT be airing in the fall but rather at midseason. Which to me implies that they are not currently filming anything or about to - they'd need to be starting soon or have already started for a fall premiere. Which makes me seriously doubt the Arkansas rumor EW brought up.
Also, ABC has a poll where you can vote about who should be the next Bach (choices are Jason, Jeremy, or someone else):
