The Bachelor
Favorite
In order to get to know the women better, the bachelor goes on a series of dates with his different prospects. Initially, many of these are group dates, making it difficult for the women to make an impression. As more women are sent home and the number of prospective mates dwindles, more intimate dates are set up for each of the women and the bachelor. Audiences have watched these tales unfold again and again for more than ten years, riveted by the romantic plot lines and drama that often erupts amongst the ladies.
The show cumilates in the final selection of the woman the bachelor has chosen. The bachelor narrows down his options to two different women, generally heading with them to their hometown to meet their families and see where they grew up. After this segment of the show is complete, the bachelor reveals who he wants to date. In many seasons, the bachelor has even proposed. Although many of these couples have not lasted, some have gone on to marry and enjoy a happy life together.
The success of The Bachelor has led to several spin off series, including The Bachelorette, where the roles are reversed. Both shows have maintained followings with millions of men and women, all of whom are eager to weigh in on the action. The Bachelor concept has also been adapted for an international audience, with several different variations of The Bachelor in production across the globe.

The Bachelor News
Not coming out a winner on ABC's "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette" is hardly a total defeat. Often, it's not unlike being an "American Idol" contestant: in many instances, it opens doors just being an also-ran. Ask Sean Lowe, who became 2013's "Bachelor" after not even reaching 2012's "Bachelorette" finale.
The shiny-toothed Olympian is in talks to take on the terrible burden of wining and dining ladies, but he'd expect a pretty hefty check in return.
Roberto Martinez has grown hesitant about taking another stab at love on ABC's "The Bachelor." That's OK. ABC has a firm backup plan: they're reportedly interested in Final-Three bachelor Sean Lowe, following the reaction to his recent emotional ousting by Emily Maynard.
WARNING: The following contains a MAJOR SPOILER for this coming Monday's episode of ABC's "The Bachelorette." If you don't want to know....well, then why exactly did you click on the headline that read "SPOILER?" That being said, if you're having second thoughts, you know what to do....However, the word on this one has been out for a while. Chris Harrison even gave up the ghost this past week. So, what's this about Arie and an ABC producer? Really, ABC? This show is no bastion of credibility as it is, but - a producer-contestant relationship? Serious? You think that's going to slide pa
Well, I knew I couldn't be the only one who lived to mock ABC's reality-dating shows. I just didn't know Ben Stiller of all people would be my co-pilot. Stiller debuted a new digital series on Yahoo! today poking fun at "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." Welcome to "Burning Love."
It's a tad surreal seeing prime time's emcee of romance going through a split after an 18-year marriage. Still, Harrison has some questions he'll answer right off the bat: first and foremost, he won't be going from host of "The Bachelor" to contestant any time soon. Second, from the sounds of it, ladies shouldn't necessarily think the helicopter and limo rides come standard with dating him.
TMZ and The Huffington Post report today that the makers of ABC's hit reality dating shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" will soon face a lawsuit alleging discrimination against casting minority singles. Attorneys representing Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson will allegedly file their federal court complaints Wednesday morning against ABC production companies Warner Horizon Television, Next Entertainment, NZK Productions and excecutive producer Mike Fleiss.
