The Bachelor Show

The Bachelor show is a dating show that has one bachelor selecting a woman from a pool of contestants. Some of the bachelors have come from rejections on The Bachelorette, thereby giving the men a second chance at love.

The first couple of episodes each season is introductions; the bachelor gets to the know the girls in a crowd setting. He mingles from girl to girl, talking with them for a few minutes. The first episode usually cuts the group down dramatically.

From that point, the bachelor then goes on a number of dates with the women. Unfortunately, not all the women get to have a date. Since it's up to the bachelor who he wants to go on a date with some of the contestants are left feeling as though they didn't get a chance, especially if they are eliminated early. The bachelor sometimes goes on single dates, but some can be with two or more of the women at the same time.

During the last few episodes, the competition is stepped up with the remaining girls going on overnight dates. Also, the bachelor and the girls meet each other's family and friends. Most often there is one-on-one time between the bachelor and the contestant's mom and dad, and one-on-one time with the bachelor's mom and dad and the potential winner.

The end of each episode has a "Rose Ceremony" in which one or more of the women get eliminated.

The Bachelor show uses a Rose Ceremony to eliminate contestants. Depending on how the dates went, the bachelor must eliminate one of the contestants. Sometimes, more than one girl is removed from the show. The bachelor gives a rose to the women he wants to keep on the show to continue a relationship with. Each rose is give from a silver platter. The women who don’t get a rose must say their goodbyes and leave the show.

During the Rose Ceremony, the bachelor gives a short speech on why he is keeping a certain potential wife. On the other hand, he gives reasons why he eliminated this girl or that girl. This is usually done as the bachelor walks the woman to the limo or outside the house where the Rose Ceremony occurs.

At any time during the show or Rose Ceremony, the contestants can opt out on their own. Each eliminated girl is allowed a few moments in the limo to give a few parting words.

The last episode of The Bachelor Show has the bachelor choosing one girl to either propose to or ask to continue a relationship with. The bachelor doesn’t necessarily have to ask the woman he chooses to marry him or he doesn’t even have to pick any of the women. Brad Womack in season 11, for example, did not select either woman at the final Rose Ceremony.

From The Bachelor show came some bachelorettes when ABC decided to do some spin-offs called The Bachelorette.

• Trista Rehn was from the first season of The Bachelor and was the first Bachelorette. She chose Ryan Sutter and they are one of the few couples matched from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette twho are still together.
• Meredith Phillips was the bachelorette on the second season.
• Jen Shefft was picked by Andrew Firestone in the third season of The Bachelor, but their relationship ended. Jen was brought on to do the third season of The Bachelorette and ultimately selected Jerry Ferris. Her final ceremony was the first live one. In a twist, Jerry proposed to Jen, but she declined since she felt there was no connection.
• DeAnna Pappas also came from The Bachelor. Brad Womack didn’t select her at all. Her final two men in the fourth season were Jason Mesnick and Jesse Csincsak, who she picked. Jason went on to be the bachelor in the 14th season of The Bachelor show.
