A new season of The Bachelorette is simply not enough summer lovin' for ABC.

Jake Pavelka's sorta-reject Ali Fedotowsky starts distributing roses on May 24, but after that, 20 supposedly unforgettable former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants will move into the Bachelor Pad.

The new series offers these fan favorites still lusting for love a second chance at a reality romance. It kicks off Aug. 9.

While we don't know too much else about this new spinoff just yet, it sounds a bit like a Real World/Road Rules Challenge without all the hair-pulling back-stabbing drunken hookups mud, no?

Which former rose-ready romantics are you hoping to see this August?
