As for whether she thinks she can really find love on the show—or "believes in the experience" as they say in Bachelor world—Desiree responds, "I do believe in the experience. I know the feelings are real, and I do believe it can work out for the best."
We can't wait to "watch your journey unfold," Desiree!
