The Bachelor

The Bachelor is a reality dating series that has been on ABC for 14 seasons, where an attractive and successful single man tries to find the woman of his dreams, most recently, Jake Pavelka, a commercial pilot who had appeared on the Bachelorette, the gender reversal role of the same show and afterwards appeared on Dancing With the Stars. The show follows a format in which the Bachelor presents finalists with a rose, and in the most recent season, Jake gave his final rose to Vienna Girardi. The prior season was for Bachelor Jason Mesnick, very popular with viewers because he was a single father, and also very dramatic as he chose Melissa Rycroft as the finalist, and then called off the engagement, instead resuming his relationship with runner-up Molly Malaney who he later married. Third- place finalist of the thirteenth series,Jillian Harris, was the fifth Bachelorette. The twelfth season of the Bachelor was also known as The Bachelor: London Calling because of Bachelor Matt Grant’s English heritage, and Shayne Lamas was chosen as the winner. Season eleven featured Brad Womack, who famously chose no one in the finale, between finalists Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas, though DeAnna went on to be the fourth Bachelorette. MORE
