JoJo Fletcher on new 'Bachelorette' season
She met 26 potential husbands last week, and already sent six home.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- JoJo Fletcher is the new "Bachelorette." She met 26 potential husbands last week, and already sent six home.

Fletcher spoke with ABC 7 on what to expect this season.

"You'll see me having those really emotional, hard tough moments and you'll see me handle them in probably ways that people haven't seen me deal with things," she said.

"Everyone assumes that you're on the other side, you're in the driver's seat it's gonna be easy. It's definitely a different situation but it's so much harder than people expect. It's heart-wrenching. I've never broken up with anyone in my entire life.

"With Jordan it was easy, it was comfortable, we had that instant chemistry so for me that first impression rose it was kind of a no-brainer that night."

Bachelor Ben romanced JoJo here in the Friendly Confines last fall before breaking her heart. She said it was a high point of the season.

"That was the first time I had been to Chicago and I absolutely love that city, it was incredible," Fletcher said. "Wrigley Field, let me just tell you walking into that stadium and just feeling what it was like to be in the center of that field, it was a crazy, surreal feeling. It was a dream come true and something I'll never forget the rest of my life."

Now, let the games begin for the Bachelorette!

You can watch Monday night's episode on ABC7 at 7 p.m.
