The future of ABC’s The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are currently uncertain, which has left the fans in confusion. Both shows have long been mainstays of popular culture, but their inclusion in ABC’s most recent renewal announcements raises concerns about their viability.

Critics point to formula fatigue and lackluster storytelling as key issues. The show has also been criticized for its handling of diversity, with producers admitting to past failures, particularly in the treatment of Matt James, the first Black Bachelor.

Additionally, this season’s star of The Bachelor, Grant Ellis, was under a lot of stress. It had been difficult enough to reduce his original dating pool of twenty-five women to just two. But it was excruciating to struggle with the decision of who he would marry.

The Bachelor is eventually losing viewers

The Bachelor franchise is currently facing significant challenges, with declining ratings, casting controversies, and criticism over its outdated format.

The Bachelor has fallen from its pedestal on ABC.

Tuning in to watch 25 women attempt to win the heart of a bachelor is no longer.

It has become a circus filled with wannabe or established influencers looking to boost their social media following.

Several of the last The Bachelor leads have flopped, and the breakup-to-marriage ratio has dwindled significantly.

However, ABC could turn things around with some adjustments if they are serious about keeping the show on air.

Will the network tweak things before it reaches a point beyond saving?...

For everyone who had complained that the 22nd season of The Bachelor was, shall we say, a lot less than dramatic. Bachelor Nation was left so heart-poundingly shook on March 3, 2009, during the season 13 finale.

Jason Mesnick starred as a single father and mortgage broker in the 13th season of The Bachelor in 2009. After various emotional highs and lows throughout the season, he proposed to Melissa Rycroft in the finale. Though the engagement came off as a classic Bachelor success until everything unfolded just weeks later.

Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft’s six-week engagement on The Bachelor ended shockingly when Mesnick decided to pursue his runner-up Molly Malaney, during the After the Final Rose episode. He broke up with the season winner live on national television. Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney later married and are still together today.

What does Melissa think about it now? Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft on The Bachelor.

Bachelor Grant Ellis’ journey kicks off tonight and more and more is coming out about what fans can expect to see during his season. In one preview that has everyone talking, Grant is seen talking to host Jesse Palmer about his final decision prior to the rose ceremony. Jesse is seen asking him what he wants to do and Grant looks incredibly torn and confused. This has many talking about what will happen. Reality Steve dished out spoilers for the ending but does Grant have a shocking change of heart? Keep reading to find out more. Warning! Spoilers ahead.

Will Bachelor Grant Ellis Have A Change Of Heart?

Bachelor Grant Ellis wrapped up filming his season of The Bachelor in November. So a few months have passed since the final rose ceremony. Previews for his season have been floating around and in one, Grant is obviously struggling with making a...

The Bachelor season 28's Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson seemed like the perfect couple, but, now that time has passed since they got engaged, there are some warning signs that they won't last because the show set them up to fail. Joey and Kelsey celebrated their one-year anniversary of getting engaged on November 12, 2024. Throughout the past year, they've been building their life together, but there were some red flags in their relationship.

After The Bachelor season 28, Joey moved into Kelsey's New Orleans home, which they shared with two roommates. Joey's credit had dropped because he missed a payment during filming, so he couldn't get an apartment on his own. The couple then relocated to Los Angeles while Joey competed on Dancing With The Stars season 33, where they'll be moving from an apartment to a house. Although they seem on track for their relationship to continue to thrive, there are a...

The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei just made history in the best way possible as his reality TV career continues to skyrocket. Joey is currently competing in Dancing With The Stars season 33, and the votes and judges' scores from the previous week secured him and Jenna Johnson a spot in the finals. The semifinals episode ended up being a non-elimination round, and all five duos advanced to the finals, including Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold.

This exciting development means that Joey is the very first lead from The Bachelor to make it to the DWTS finals in the history of the ABC competition series. Us Weekly spoke with the Bachelor star after his exceptional scores from the judges and reacted to the history-making news. He said, "It's unbelievable...We knew we had two dances that we loved,...

Kelsey Anderson’s dad, Mark Anderson, is one of the suitors on The Golden Bachelorette. Does he end up with Joan? Find out the spoiler.

Warning! This article contains major spoilers about the Golden Bachelorette season. If you don’t want to know who gets the final rose, stop reading now! Proceed at your own risk.

Kelsey Anderson Introduces Dad To Joan Vassos

Bachelor fans already met Mark Anderson during Kelsey’s hometown date with Joey Graziadei. He made a major impression, with many hoping he would be the second Golden Bachelor. ABC has yet to renew the spinoff, which faltered after Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist ended their marriage after a few months. However, with Kelsey’s encouragement, Mark applied as a contestant on the first season of The Golden Bachelorette.

The network made no secret of Mark being a suitor. But they did draw his arrival out. He...

Your browser does not support the video tag. Despite rocky beginnings, some Bachelor couples, like Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, have stood the test of time, proving love can survive reality TV. Not all Bachelor relationships end in bliss, as seen with couples like Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar, who have chosen to keep a low profile post-show. Even without a proposal, relationships formed on The Bachelor, like Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell's, can endure challenges and thrive over time.

With nearly 300 episodes, more than a dozen spinoffs, and a global viewership peaking at 13.93 million per episode, The Bachelor is easily one of TVs most successful reality dating shows. With each season brimming with tantalizing drama and head-spinning twists, the show rarely fails to capture viewer interest.

But popular appeal aside, the show seldom delivers on its premise; the pursuit of true love. Astoundingly, many of the couples whove...

She knows she’s found her perfect match among Devin Strader, Marcus Shoberg, and Jonathon Johnson. In our exclusive preview of the August 26 episode, Jenn is “excited for individual time” with the guys during their time in the Fantasy Suites. Ahead of her one-on-one time with the final three, Jenn sits down with Molly Mesnick to talk. Molly, who is married to The Bachelor Season 13 star Jason Mesnick, has been down this road before. “This week is the most important week of this entire experience. For Jason and myself, that was our time to really have those deep, deep, hard conversations,” Molly tells Jenn. Molly asks Jenn if she feels her forever person is among the trio. “I know that one of them is going to be my husband at the end of this,...

Bachelor Nation Alum Returns To Advise Jenn

The Bachelorette doubles up with two episodes this week to get to the conclusion before Monday Night Football takes over the schedule.

A regular episode airs on Monday, August 26, followed by the Men Tell All special on Tuesday, August 27. Jenn Tran sent Jeremy Simon home last week after a disastrous meeting with his family, especially his mom.

That left Devin Strader, Jonathon Johnson, and Marcus Shoberg. Jenn and her final three men head to Hawaii for the Fantasy Suite dates, and the final two rose ceremonies.

Jenn Tran has narrowed her potential future husband to Jonathon Johnson, Jeremy Simon, Marcus Shoberg, and Devin Strader. In this week’s episode, her four suitors take her home to meet their families. According to Bachelorette spoilers, who goes home?

‘Bachelorette’ Jenn Tran/Credit: ABC YouTube Marcus Shoberg Hometown Date

Steve Carbone has been spoiling the Bachelor franchise shows under the moniker Reality Steve since 2009. He originally recapped the show but an insider emailed him during Season 13 of The Bachelor that Jason Mesnick was planning to dump his final rose winner for his runner-up.

The intel turned out to be credible. Jason is now married to his runner-up, Molly. They recently appeared on Jenn Tran’s season to host a group date that ultimately sent Sam McKinney home.

Jenn Tran is having the time of her life as she looks for love on Season 21 of The Bachelorette.

The first half of the season was spent in Australia, where she whittled her list of suitable suitors down to just seven.

At the end of Episode 5, she sent Dylan home after previously saying goodbye to John and Thomas N at the prior rose ceremony.

She also sent Austin Ott on his way after he opted to self-eliminate due to having the weakest connection with Jenn.

There’s not much tension left as the only man still giving Devin Strader a hard time is Sam McKinney.

They seem to be Jenn’s top prospects thus far, but there are five other guys, and The Bachelorette fans are starting to pick favorites.

Now, it’s time for another trip heading into Episode 6, where the competition will get fierce as we get closer to that final rose.

Sam McKinney was an early fan-favorite on Season 21 of The Bachelorette. But his demeanor quickly changed and viewers called out his red flags. He earned a rose on the latest episode of the dating show. How much longer is Jenn Tran keeping him around? Keep reading to find out Sam M.’s fate.

Bachelorette Villain Claims Bad Edit

Sam McKinney made a great impression on Jenn Tran and viewers when he first arrived at the Bachelor mansion. However, his behavior since then has caused viewers to turn on him. His disrespectful treatment of the other contestants, especially Devin Strader, didn’t sit right with viewers at home.

For some The Bachelor contestants, love with the bachelor didn't last, but they found it with professional athletes instead. While Bachelor In Paradise didn't work for everyone, the women on this list found lasting love outside of reality TV. From dating NBA and NHL players to NFL champs, these women from Bachelor Nation have found romance off the screen.

The Bachelor has proven to be a success for a handful of contestants. Couples like Season 13's Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, Season 22's Arie Luyendyk and Lauren Burnham, and Season 17's Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, are all proof that love can be found on reality television, despite revelations that the show is scripted.

But, of course, only one woman can steal the heart of the bachelor, which leaves the 20 or so women who participated on the show still searching for their perfect partner. Some have tried to get a...

Reality TV marriages can be costly.

Getting divorced can be even worse.

That’s something that The Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay found out the hard way.

Rachel and Bryan got married four years ago after he won her season of The Bachelorette in 2017.

Then. right at the end of 2023, it was over.

Bryan announced the news that they were divorcing in the new year and listed December 31 as their date of separation.

Now, Rachel is going to have to pay up.

Rachel Lindsay ordered to pay Bryan Abasolo temporary spousal support

Rachel and Bryan headed to court earlier this week to work out spousal support, and things certainly went in Bryan’s favor.

In Touch reported that, after weeks of asking for support in order to move out of their marital home, Bryan has been successful.

Rachel was ordered to pay $13,257 per month in spousal support to Bryan. Additionally, she...

Jenn Tran Kissed Only One Man, But It Was Steamy

Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette kicked off on Monday, July 8. She was introduced to 25 suitors in mostly outlandish ways. One contestant arrived wearing only a hospital gown with his head wrapped in bandages. Another sprayed her with a fire extinguisher.

Despite the interesting first meetings, Jenn Tran predicted that her husband was among the 25 men. Could it be Sam M.?

All couples from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette who are still together ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

While most of the couples formed on reality shows end up splitting after the shoot, there are a few who keep our belief in love alive. Especially, in franchises like the Bachelor, the whole purpose of the show is to help you choose your dream partner and settle down with them.

While The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have been going on for over two decades and have made several matches during the course, only a handful of those pairs are still together. Here are all the couples from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, whose relationship stood the test of time.

1. Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter

Trista Rehn was the lead on the debut season of The Bachelorette back in 2003, where she chose firefighter Ryan Sutter as her partner and got married to him in a televised ceremony.

Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are the only Bachelor couple to get married after getting engaged during their season finale. Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson will be the next Bachelor couple to get married. Joey and Kelsey's strong relationship proves that they'll some day walk down the aisle as husband and wife.

The Bachelor has had a lot of failures in the past two decades, and I've been waiting ten years for another Bachelor wedding, but I think that season 28 couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are going to be the ones to finally get married. I watched the first 15 Bachelors--including two-time lead Brad Womack--break up with the women they left with, whether they were in relationships or engaged, and began to lose faith in the show. However, then Sean Lowe appeared and saved the franchise.

Although the odds seem stacked against The Bachelor season 28 couple Joey and...

What happens to the stars of The Bachelor after their time on the franchise ends? How much are they really worth? Let’s dive into the net worth of some of the most famous Bachelor Nation members.

Bachelor Alums With Lowest Net Worths

Not all of the Bachelor leads have been able to turn reality TV fame into money. Season 18 Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis has the lowest net worth of all 28 leads with a reported net worth of $85,000, as reported by Just Jared.

Not surprisingly, Bachelor leads you barely remember, Aaron Buerge Matt Grant and Andrew Baldwin (Season 10) have an average net worth of around $130,000.

Despite starring in his own reality show with his final rose winner, Ben Higgins net worth is reportedly only $100,000. Nick Viall, who recently competed on Special Forces has a reported net worth of $129,000.

Surprisingly, the franchise’s first Bachelor, Alex Michel, has a been living...

Steve Carbone, better known as Reality Steve, has become the indisputable spoiler king for The Bachelor and all its spinoffs.

Starting out with a column about The Bachelor that he wrote as a fan, Reality Steve’s big break came when he got a hot tip about Jason Mesnick’s messy season.

The rest is history, as he quickly became the go-to source for all the juiciest Bachelor Nation spoilers, launching a 15-year career from what began as a reality TV obsession and, quite frankly, a hobby.

This season, Reality Steve nailed nearly every single episode of the show with detailed spoilers about who gets Joey Graziadei’s attention, who gets a rose, and who goes home with surgical precision.

That is, except who gets that final rose, as his initial spoilers from before this season of The Bachelor even started had claimed that the winner is Daisy Kent.

Although The Golden Bachelor may be over, the captivating love story between Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, the recipient of his ultimate rose, is just beginning, as the couple are set to jump the broom live on ABC on January 4 in the presence of television viewers and Bachelor Nation attendees alike. The Bachelor Season 1 runner-up Trista Sutter and her husband Ryan will attend alongside Jason Mesnick, runner-up on Season 4 of The Bachelorette and The Bachelor Season 13, and his wife Molly. Season 9 Bachelorette Desiree Siegfried will attend with her husband, Chris Siegfried, and Season 20 Bachelor Ben Higgins will make an appearance with Wells Adams from The Bachelorette Season 12 and Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise.

The Golden Bachelor is getting married!

On the season finale of the ABC series, Gerry Turner proposed to his now fiancée, and their wedding will be featured in a live television special, The Golden Wedding.

Jesse Palmer will return to host the special, which will be taking place very soon!

Get all the details inside…

Gerry and fiancée Theresa Nist are set to “walk down the aisle to begin their next chapter, happily ever after.”

“We are going to get married. We’re going to do it as quickly as we can, because at our age, we don’t have a lot of time to waste,” Gerry joked on The Golden Bachelor: After the Final Rose. “So as quickly as we can put together a wedding plan, we’re getting married.”

The two hour ceremony and special will take place live on Thursday, January 4, 2024 at 8pm Et/Pt on ABC.

The Bachelor season 28 has been announced by ABC, and there are many details to know about it. The Bachelor premiered in 2002, and has since become one of the most popular reality dating competition shows. Its spin-offs, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise are also highly successful. In addition, the much-anticipated senior dating show, The Golden Bachelor, will premiere in fall 2023. Other franchise series have included Bachelor Pad, The Bachelor Winter Games, The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart, and The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Ever!

When it comes to successful marriages, The Bachelor's actually the least successful series in the Bachelor franchise. Only one lead, Sean Lowe, married the woman he proposed to on the show, Catherine Giudici. Two other couples, Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell, and Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar, are currently together. Matt and Rachael have been dating since they reconciled after his season in April...

One of the most anticipated parts of The Bachelor is the engagement, but there are several leading men who didn't propose at the ends of their seasons. Although it's easy to assume that proposing was the norm right from the start, the first Bachelor proposal was actually at the end of season 2, when Aaron Buerge got engaged to Helene Eksterowicz. This was followed by Andrew Firestone and Jen Schefft, Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado, and Andy Baldwin and Tessa Horst. Others include Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, and Brad Womack and Emily Maynard.

In addition, The Bachelor couples Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson, Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff, Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell, and Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi got engaged. Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa Rycroft, and Arie Luyendyk Jr. did the same for Becca Kufrin. However, they changed their minds, and ended up marrying their runners-up,...

The Bachelor season 27 host Jesse Palmer announced that his cousin, country singer Griffen Palmer, will perform his latest single in the next episode of Zach Shallcross' season. Griffen signed a record deal with Big Loud Records in January. In 2020, he was a contestant in Songland season 2, a songwriting competition series. On that show, he collaborated with country singer Shane McAnally and Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard to write the ballad "Second Guessing." Griffen won the episode, and the song was released as a single.

In an Instagram post, Jesse announced the "big news" that Griffen will perform "Second Guessing" during the February 6 episode of The Bachelor.

The Bachelor season 27 contestant Christina Mandrell, who is a single mom, received support from fellow Bachelor Nation parents Amanda Stanton, Nate Mitchell and Michael Allio. Christina, a 27-year-old content creator from Tennessee, is a divorced single mom to her 5-year-old daughter, Blakely. When Zach Shallcross chose her for his first one-on-one date of the season, she opened up to him about being a mom. Zach admitted that he was unsure if he was ready to be a father, but he gave Christina the date rose because he wanted to explore their relationship further.

In a funny Instagram reel created by Christina, Bachelor Nation parents Amanda Stanton and Nate Mitchell expressed their support for her.

The Bachelor season 27 contestant, Christina Mandrell, addressed the mom-shamers who criticized her for joining the show to compete for Zach Shallcross' heart. Christina, a 27-year-old content creator from Tennessee, is a divorced single mom to her 5-year-old daughter, Blakely. She was one of five women who had the chance to meet Zach early on The Bachelorette season 19 After the Final Rose episode. Christina, who is the daughter of actress and singer Irlene Mandrell and the niece of country music legend Barbara Mandrell, memorably brought two mini liquor bottles for her and Zach to drink.

In an Instagram post, Christina addressed critics of her choice to be on to be on The Bachelor. She shared a funny video explaining all the roles she plays, including being in her 20s and wanting to experience life, working full-time, and being a mom.

Former lead of The Bachelor, Peter Weber, and Kelley Flanagan feel that their relationship is better after giving it another try. The pair have shared a tumultuous romance, both on- and off-screen, and their split was confirmed in February 2021. However, rumors began to circle that Peter and Kelley were back together after they were spotted appearing alone in public last summer. The return of their relationship was then confirmed when they attended the red carpet for the Global Lyme Alliance Gala as a couple.

In an interview with US Weekly, Kelley explained that she has "been doing a lot better than I was last year." Peter and Kelley had announced their breakup very shortly after moving to New York City together, which surprised many of their fans. After some time apart and away from the spotlight, Kelley said this time "it's a lot more relaxed, so it's easier." The couple...

Sean and Catherine Lowe, who met on The Bachelor season 17 in 2013, are the perfect example of a couple that knows what true love looks like, and fans would like to see them have their own TV show. While so much of reality TV is about bickering, heartbreak, and mean-spiritedness, Catherine and Sean could bring heartwarming hope to the genre. They have carved out an ideal life for themselves and their three beautiful children, which could serve as inspiration for those who think The Bachelor franchise is fake and contrived.

If Sean and Catherine, who got into ugly spats, were to have their own reality show, not only would it be entertaining, but it would also be a bright spot in the dark trenches of the 2020s. It is no secret that this decade has been stressful for just about everyone. Viewers watch romance reality shows to escape and vicariously live out a fantasy.

Former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher has commented on Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's quick breakups following the finale of their season in September. JoJo first joined The Bachelor franchise as a contestant on Ben Higgins' season in 2016. After being blindsided by Ben during the season finale, JoJo went on to star as The Bachelorette in season 12, where she ultimately became engaged to former pro-quarterback, Jordan Rodgers.

JoJo is one of Bachelor Nation's most beloved success stories. After Jordan proposed, the couple had a 6-year-long engagement before JoJo and Jordan tied the knot earlier this year. When it comes to having a successful relationship originating from The Bachelor franchise, JoJo is somewhat of an expert. In an interview with E! News, JoJo said of Gabby and Rachel's breakups that "It's always such a bummer when things don't work out." JoJo explained that the period immediately following the season premiere is one...

You know how “The Bachelorette” has had more success stories than “The Bachelor”? Well, it’s no different when it comes to “Dancing with the Stars.” The women of Bachelor Nation continue to crush it on the hardwood as Kaitlyn Bristowe literally followed in Hannah Brown‘s footsteps on Monday by taking home the Mirrorball trophy. That’s back-to-back Bachelorette champs and the third woman overall, while the guys still have a big fat goose egg.

Nearly two decades ago, Trista Sutter was the runner-up on the first season of “The Bachelor,” a new reality show that would go on to become one of the most successful franchises in television history.

Little did Sutter — then, Trista Rehn — know, she would become the very first star of “The Bachelorette,” ABC’s first spinoff of the mega franchise. And little did she know, she would also meet her husband on a reality dating show.

“The Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” ends each season with a proposal and engagement, but more often than not, the TV couples call it quits a few years, or months, later. And yet, the original “Bachelorette” couple is still together. Ryan Sutter was one of Rehn’s 25 contestants who fought to win her heart, and 17 years later, the couple is happily married with two children.

“Who would’ve thunk it?” Sutters says. “From Midwest tomboy to...

Kaitlyn Bristowe waited five years for her “Dancing with the Stars” dream to come true, a turn of events that she says “feels like a wrong has been made right.”

Chris Harrison shocked the Season 11 “Bachelorette” star on Monday’s “The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons — Ever!” when he told Bristowe that she’d be on “Dancing” Season 29 — three years after she claimed that “Bachelor” creator Mike Fleiss blocked her from going on the show in 2015 following her rose-giving stint.

“I just think it goes to show if you’re resilient and you always are strong with what you believe in and fight for what you want — and as long as you are a good person doing those things — even if it takes five years, something good will come from it,” Bristowe told “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below).

Exacerbating Bristowe’s frustration was the fact that Bachelors were frequently tapped to do “Dancing” — Jake Pavelka,...

Arie Luyendyk Jr. found love on “The Bachelor,” but he is definitely not surprised that there are far more breakups than marriages in the franchise.

“It’s such a difficult — I hate to call it process — but it is a difficult show,” the Season 22 alum said on Shawn Johnson and Andrew East‘s podcast “Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew” podcast. “And that’s probably why you find that a lot of people don’t make it is because it’s just so taxing emotionally. It’s not natural to have two people that you [have] at the end, and then have to break up with one person and get engaged to another person an hour later. It’s just so weird. It’s, like, no wonder it barely works.”

Luyendyk’s comments echo those of his last month, when he said the that the leads are “set up to fail...

Bachelor Nation, rejoice. Well, sort of.

After years upon years of wondering where to watch “The Bachelor” online, past seasons of the franchise are finally available for streaming.

HBO Max, which launched today, has curated a sampling of specific seasons to license, featuring both the U.S. and international versions of “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” “Bachelor In Paradise” and “Bachelor Pad.”

“The Bachelor” franchise, which debuted in 2002, is distributed by Warner Bros. Television and produced by the production arm, Warner Horizon, both of which fall under the Warner Media umbrella, the media company powering the portfolio of content on HBO Max.

Prior to the launch of HBO Max, “The Bachelor” franchise only streamed on Hulu during current seasons. The only standalone season currently available on a subscription streaming service is Season 13 of the flagship “Bachelor” with Jason Mesnick, which is available on Netflix. Other seasons from the franchise are available to stream on Amazon,...

Now that Season 24 of “The Bachelor” is over and, you know, Peter Weber and Madison Prewett lasted a mere two days after the finale, everyone is free to weigh in, like Peter’s producer Julie Laplaca.

In the frenzy to spoil Peter’s then-unspoiled season, one of the theories fans came up with was that the pilot was dating Laplaca, who was his producer. This was based on them having spent New Year’s Eve together, which was basically a promo stop for the season premiere, hence why a producer would be with him. Like any good salesman, Rob Mills, ABC’s alternative programming executive, and Chris Harrison kept trolling everyone by neither confirming nor denying the rumor. After keeping quiet, Laplaca has now said her piece — and no, she and Peter are not dating.

“Yes that was @pilot_pete in the tan jacket, no we didn’t kiss at midnight,...

With Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor ending with another broken engagement, we're wondering at this point when the last successful Bachelor franchise proposal was. Thinking backward, Hannah Brown broke up with Jed Wyatt shortly after he proposed, and Colton Underwood's finale was derailed when Cassie Randolph left the show (they later reconciled). In fact, the last few seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have ended so unconventionally that to find a season that actually ended with the final couple getting engaged and staying together, we have to look back quite a few years.

There has only been one Bachelor who has actually married the woman he proposed to at the final rose ceremony. We have to go all the way back to 2013's season 17, which starred Sean Lowe as the Bachelor. At the end of his season, he proposed to Catherine Giudici, and they got married...

Dear Chris Harrison, I'd like to thank you on behalf of Bachelor Nation for your services. If this week's complicated Bachelor finale taught viewers anything, it's that you are a live-tv pro. The wrap-up for Peter Weber's season of the show could not have been more of a mess, and you managed to spin that mess into water-cooler-talk gold. You delivered on your promise: Peter's was the most dramatic season finale ever.

As someone who's watched every season of every Bachelor franchise, I've tuned in to see Chris navigate tricky waters more than a few times. That Jake and Vienna sit-down? The Jason Mesnick switcheroo? I mean, wow. Chris has certainly moderated his fair share of - how do I put this? - sh*tshow scenarios, and the conversations between Peter, Madison Prewett, and the Weber family certainly rank among the franchise's most awkward moments ever.

ABC is really gonna milk this unspoiled finale for all it’s worth, huh? On Monday’s “The Bachelor: Women Tell All,” Chris Harrison teased Peter Weber‘s two-part finale next week as one so unpredictable that not a single soul knows how it concludes.

“It is a finale so unexpected, so unprecedented, there is not a single person who knows how Peter’s journey will end,” Harrison stated. “Not even Peter.”

Is this typical Bachelor Nation hyperbole or is there something to it? The fact that the finale has been unspoiled gives it some credence, and Peter, who picked his final two of Hannah Ann Sluss and Madison Prewett on Monday’s episode, confirms there is a basis of truth to it.

“Bachelor in Paradise” couple Krystal Nielson and Chris “Goose” Randone have separated, making theirs the first marriage of “The Bachelor” franchise to break up.

On Valentine’s Day, the pair, who met on Season 5 of ABC’s “The Bachelor in Paradise,” announced plans to split after eight months of marriage.

“It hurts to announce that at this moment, we have mutually decided to separate. Never did we imagine this scenario, but we’ve come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves,” reads the statement from the couple, which they shared Friday on Bachelor Nation, the official website from the producers of “The Bachelor” franchise.

Keeping up with The Bachelor without a traditional cable setup has never been easier, but what time do new episodes arrive on Hulu? The streaming service allows viewers to watch the series - along with many, many others - without having an old-fashioned TV setup, but the exact time you can watch the latest Bachelor drama actually depends on what version of Hulu you have.

In recent years, Hulu has introduced a deluxe service, Hulu + Live TV, which is exactly what it sounds like: Hulu's streaming library, plus the ability to "tune in" to live TV on certain partnered channels. If you have this service, you can watch episodes of The Bachelor live as they air on regular TV or on demand at your convenience. Currently priced at $61 per month, the subscription is one of the popular cord-cutting services, since it doesn't require subscribers to wait weeks or months for...

Ahead of Peter Weber’s season of “The Bachelor” coming up on Jan. 6, here’s a look back at the 20 most dramatic moments of the past 17 years of “The Bachelor” franchise, from Colton Underwood jumping the fence to Hannah Brown telling off Luke Parker.

Jesse Palmer Forgets Karen Lindsay’s Name

Former NFL player Jesse Palmer accidentally called the wrong name during his season as The Bachelor in 2004. In a hilariously panicked moment, he pulled Chris Harrison aside to tell him that he had forgotten Karen’s name and had called Katie [Gehart] instead. “I froze and forgot,” he told a bemused Harrison. “We gotta do that again.”

Trista Rehn Reveals Some Intimate Details

The first ever Bachelorette, Trista Rehn, now Trista Sutter, revealed that she’d “never had an orgasm during real intercourse” in the fantasy suite.

Netflix, it looks like you've got some explaining to do... What do you do when your teenage son finds out that you were on a season of The Bachelor? That's what former Bachelor contestant Jason Mesnick wants to know.  On Sunday, Dec. 15, he took to Instagram to ask his followers what they would do if they were in his current situation.  "Let's pretend You were The Bachelor and your 15-year-old son just discovered your season on @Neflix...," he captioned his post. "Do you: A.) Let him watch it? B.) Ship him off to Switzerland for a few years until it comes off Netflix."  Jason added: "Current situation in the Mesnick household [laughing emoji]...

It feels like someone from the “Bachelor” franchise is on “Dancing with the Stars” every season, but in reality (no pun intended), there’s only been eight love-seeking folks who’ve hoofed it on the hardwood in 28 seasons. And Hannah Brown is just the second one to actually win the whole thing.

Here the “Bachelor” franchise track record on “Dancing”:

1. Trista Sutter: Season 1, sixth place (first eliminated)

2. Melissa Rycroft: Season 8, third place; Season 15, won

3. Jake Pavelka: Season 10, seventh place

4. Sean Lowe: Season 16, sixth place

5. Chris Soules: Season 20, fifth place

6. Nick Viall: Season 24, sixth place

7. Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile: Season 27, fifth place

8. Hannah Brown: Season 28, won

Brown joins Rycroft as the only Bachelor Nation stars to win “Dancing,” but Brown is the first titular Bachelor or Bachelorette to prevail. Rycroft was never the Bachelorette and was a last-minute replacement on Season 8, taking Nancy O’Dell...
