Harrison stated, "No what - honestly what I felt with Des was just that it reminded me of one other breakup over the last like 11 years where I felt like, I'm not saying it was wrong but it just felt like wow it wasn't time yet. Like there was still just something there. And there was definitely that chemistry between him and Des that just seemed like "Wow, this shouldn't be happening right now."
Harrison continued, "And you know when you saw them together at you know the "Women Tell All" on Monday and again, I guess I'll just let the viewer's judge but you could still kind of just see that chemistry and that little something between them. It's just interesting. I've only seen that one other time in the history of the show. ...And you know did he make a mistake, obviously not, it's what he decided to do and who am I to even say that but it was just something I definitely noticed that was kind of palpable between the two of them."
Chris Harrison also talked about whether Desiree would be a good candidate for "The Bachelorette, stating, "Yes, Des, is you know - well Des is kind of that young not that Katie Holmes is old but she's just is this young attractive Katie Holmes looking girl next door. It's kind of what the show was built on with you know finding that diamond in the rough kind of like Sean is it's that every day guy obviously a great guy and giving him that chance. And again Des, the way you know she comes off on the "Women Tell All" makes herself a great candidate."
Desiree, 26, is a bridal stylist in Los Angeles, Calif.. She attended Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FITM) in Los Angeles and has aspiration of designing bridal gowns for her own boutique.
