ABC PRESS RELEASE

SEASON PREMIERE

ARIE LUYENDYK JR. WILL LOOK FOR LOVE AGAIN
ON ABC’S HIT ROMANCE REALITY SERIES ‘THE BACHELOR,’
PREMIERING FOR ITS 22ND SEASON, MONDAY, JANUARY 1

Sean and Catherine Lowe and Their Adorable Son, Samuel, Drop By to Offer Arie Advice on
Searching for His Soul Mate Among 29 Beautiful Women

This Season’s Highlights Include Appearances by Racecar Driver Robby Gordon, GLOW Legends Ursula Hayden and Angelina Altishin, Kenny ‘Pretty Boy Pit Bull’ King and Actor/Comedian Fred Willard; Dazzling Performances by Singer/Songwriter Connor Duermit, Hot Country Band Lanco, Indie Artist/Songwriter Tenille Arts and French Singer Pauline Paris; and Romantic Excursions to Lake Tahoe, Ft. Lauderdale, Paris, Tuscany and Peru
                                               
Dashing racecar driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. returns to try and finally win at love. Five years ago, Arie fell madly in love with fan favorite Bachelorette Emily Maynard (now Emily Maynard Johnson) and was ready to propose when she broke his heart. That was the last time Arie was really in love, but now he begins his own pursuit of his soul mate, as 29 beautiful, accomplished women join him on the highly anticipated 22nd season premiere of “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, JAN. 1 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

In “Episode 2201,” Arie meets with one of Bachelor Nation’s favorite married couples, Sean and Catherine Lowe and their son, Samuel, before his journey begins. The two men have been friends since they competed for Emily’s heart on season eight of “The Bachelorette.” Sean offers Arie tips on how to date 29 women at one time, while Catherine decides to help prepare him for fatherhood and has him change a diaper. Little Samuel reminds Arie how much he wants the life that Sean and Catherine have. Now armed with advice and encouragement, Arie is ready for the tumultuous night ahead.

All the women are eager to make a lasting first impression. A beautiful blonde wearing a mask proclaims that Arie is not the only “kissing bandit.” Another woman roars up on a miniature Formula One racecar, leaving a lot of jealous ladies in her wake. One sassy female gives Arie compliments in Dutch, his second language, and another sultry stunner whispers sweet nothings in his ear. Arie handles the pressure like a pro. The arrivals are almost stolen by a charming woman, who arrives in a cherry red ’65 convertible Mustang.

Once Arie enters the mansion, the competition is on! He is swept away by a very assertive and mysterious bachelorette. She lands the first one-on-one conversation with the debonair Bachelor and a very romantic kiss. There is already discord and envy running among the women as they try and steal time with the man they hope will be their fiancé.

When the “first impression” rose arrives, the bachelorettes’ anxiety level rises.  A hopeful TV host believes that her future with the Bachelor is destiny. Another gorgeous, thoughtful woman makes Arie dig deep about why he hasn’t found true love since Emily. And for some, actions speak louder than words. A feisty lady uses a ukulele to serenade Arie, and yet another challenges him to race riding miniature racecars.

Arie finally decides who to honor with the all-important “first impression” rose. But how will his choice sit with the other women? A nerve-wracking rose ceremony ends the journey for eight lovely ladies, but for the 21 remaining bachelorettes the road ahead will be filled with passionate highs and heartwrenching lows. Arie’s journey has finally begun!

Editor's note: contestants are now revealed (see posts below).

Romantic and adventurous dates will reach new heights this season, testing the ladies’ perseverance in pursuing their romantic objective; along with fun, exciting and exotic dates that will elicit real and raw passions.

Two back-to-back one-on-one dates kick off the season. Arie treats the first woman like a princess, complete with designer dresses from fashion icon Rachel Zoe. After that romantic evening, Arie whisks another lucky bachelorette away to his hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona, where she gets a glimpse of his everyday life and even meets his parents. The unforgettable evening ends with  a private performance by singer-songwriter and musical artist Connor Duermit.

Fifteen women clash in a “Bachelor” demolition derby with special commentary by Chris Harrison and Arie’s friend, racecar driver Robby Gordon. Chaos ensues as eight bachelorettes face off in a G.L.O.B. (Gorgeous Ladies of the Bachelor) wrestling match. Legends from GLOW – Ursula Hayden and Angela Altishin – train the women for the matches. And Arie takes on a surprise guest, Kenny “Pretty Boy Pit Bull” King from Rachel’s season, but who will emerge victorious? Arie takes romance to new heights as he and a thrilled bachelorette go parasailing on Lake Tahoe and then enjoy dancing and kissing the night way to a performance by hot country music band Lanco.  The remaining women travel to beautiful Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, for a deluxe one-on-one date on a 100-foot yacht, dinner at an antique car museum and a private concert by Tenille Arts. An adventurous airboat trip through the Florida swamps not only uncovers alligators, but a delicacy: frog legs!         

If the bachelorettes’ hearts could beat any faster, imagine being in Paris, one of the world’s most romantic cities, while creating beautiful memories with Arie. Whether on a speedboat touring the city on the Seine River, enjoying a wonderful picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens, performing at the famed Moulin Rouge, dining at Maxim’s or kissing atop the iconic Eiffel Tower, it is an emotional part of Arie’s and the women’s journey. The next stop is magnificent Tuscany, Italy, showcasing its unique culture, cuisine and breathtaking countryside views.

The hometown dates are filled with emotional revelations, but in a 180-degree turn, the final three bachelorettes travel to spectacular Ica, Peru, for the unpredictable overnight dates where the relationships have a chance to flourish. But will more surprises await the unsuspecting Bachelor before he travels to Cusco, Peru, to hopefully choose a wife? Will Arie open his heart and find the woman of his dreams who will love him back?

What do a quirky, cute set decorator who has a thing for taxidermy, death and zombies; a Yale graduate with the business acumen to be a big success, but failing grades in love; a rock-climbing nanny who combines youthful exuberance with classic charm; a lovely Latin lady who can spice things up in the romance department; and a former model who harbors a huge secret all have in common? They all have their sights set on making the Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr., their future husband when the much-anticipated 22nd edition of ABC’s hit romance reality series “The Bachelor” premieres, MONDAY, JAN. 1 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

ABC Press Release

ARIE’S WHIRLWIND JOURNEY TO FIND LOVE BEGINS WITH AN ULTRA-ROMANTIC FAIRY TALE DATE, A WOMAN HIDING A FAMILY SECRET AND
A ROCK’EM SOCK’EM DEMOLITION DERBY CLASH, ON ABC’S ‘THE BACHELOR’

Acclaimed Racecar Driver Robby Gordon Joins Chris Harrison
for the Demo Derby Play-by-Play
     
“Episode 2202” – Arie’s search for love gets off to a fast start with back-to-back one-on-one dates with Becca K. and Krystal. The Bachelor transports Becca K., via a slick motorcycle ride, to a breathtaking oceanside Malibu mansion, where celebrity fashion designer Rachel Zoe works her magic on Arie’s date. Krystal looks to a possible future with the Bachelor when she visits his hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona, and meets his family. But she is concealing a dark secret that might scare Arie away. Fifteen eager women travel to a racetrack for a rip-roaring demolition derby with one ultimate winner. Chris Harrison and celebrated racecar driver Robby Gordon handle the play-by-play duties. The bachelorettes ratchet up the intensity at the cocktail party as two women face-off.  Arie sorts through the drama while the ladies’ feelings continue to grow, on “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, JAN. 8 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

Arie lures away Becca K. to a truly Cinderella date. Once ensconced in their Malibu mansion, Arie introduces his date to a surprise guest: Rachel Zoe, fashion designer to the stars. Becca K. has the opportunity to try on a number of gowns and gives Arie a private fashion show. He not only has a big surprise for her, but he continues to amaze her with special gifts. But will he give her the biggest gift of all – a rose at the end of the evening?
Krystal also captures a special one-on-one date with Arie, jumping on a private plane to his hometown of Scottsdale. Not only does she get a taste of what life would be like if she were to get the final rose, but she also gets to meet Arie’s father, the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, his mother and younger brother. Krystal is envious of the close-knit family Arie enjoys as hers is so different. At dinner that evening at the historic Bradbury building she recounts a heartbreaking story about her brother that brings her to tears.  Afterwards, as the couple slow dance to a performance by soulful singer Connor Duermit, she wonders if her dark family situation will scare Arie away.

The next day, it’s a rowdy, rollicking, no-holds-barred demolition derby with 15 of the bachelorettes. The women learn that they must bang their cars into one another until only one is left with a working vehicle and emerges victorious. One woman is traumatized by her past experience with bumper cars, but most of the women embrace the opportunity to unleash some healthy aggression. The intense competition continues at the after party for Arie’s time and attention.

The cocktail party invites more conflicts between the women with two of them squaring off in the middle of the festivities.  Three heartbroken bachelorettes go home as the remainder celebrate continuing on the journey to share Arie’s love.

The 21 remaining women are:
Annaliese, 32, event designer, San Francisco, California
Ashley, 25, real estate agent, West Palm Beach, Florida
Rebecca (Becca K.), 27, publicist, Minneapolis, Minnesota

ABC Press Release

ONE BACHELORETTE WILL LIFT THE GORGEOUS WOMEN OF THE BACHELOR (GLOB) CHAMPIONSHIP BELT, WHILE OTHER LADIES ‘GO TO THE DOGS,’ ON ABC’S ‘THE BACHELOR’

“Episode 2203” – As the charming race car driver intensifies his search for his soul mate among the 18 remaining women, Arie selects eight women to battle for supremacy in the wrestling arena with two top veterans of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW) – Ursula Hayden and Angelina Altishin – sharing their secrets of success in the ring. The undercard will feature a surprise guest, Kenny “Pretty Boy Pit Bull” King from Bachelorette Rachel’s season, who will take on the Bachelor himself. Lauren S. is the lucky recipient of a romantic one-on-one date with Arie to a Napa Valley vineyard. “The Dynamo Dogs,” a group of lovable canines, and seven of the women perform together, becoming the stage sensation “Arie’s Amazing Acrodogs,” with Chris Harrison and gifted comic actor Fred Willard offering their hilarious commentary. One woman’s best romantic intentions are put to the tough test at the cocktail party, on “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, JAN. 15 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

Ursula “Babe the Farmer’s Daughter” Hayden and Angelina “Little Egypt” Altishin, two legends from   the women’s wrestling federation GLOW, teach eight women the killer moves and over-the-top theatricality they will need to succeed. However, a few of the bachelorettes are upset by the aggressive nature of Ursula and Angelina’s wrestling personas. Each of the women are assigned their own wrestling personalities, using wildly imaginative costumes and makeup. Arie starts the show facing off against Kenny King, but will he emerge victorious? Then it’s the bachelorettes’ turn to challenge one another in the Gorgeous Ladies of the Bachelor (GLOB) tournament. The excited stadium crowd witnesses one woman stake her claim to the GLOB World Champion belt. At the after party, some ladies make strides in their connections with Arie, while others simply fall flat.

Lauren S. and Arie take flight in a private jet to a dream vacation spot for wine lovers – Napa Valley. They enjoy a secluded picnic, but it is hard for Lauren S. to overcome her nerves. At dinner the couple is entertained by the BellaRosa String Quartet, but will the bachelorette be able to bond with Arie or not?

Seven other women join Arie and his adorable dog, Bastian, on a group date. “The Dynamo Dogs,” along with their trainer Gayle Mirabella, meet them in a Los Angeles park where Gayle reveals that the bachelorettes will perform with her furry troupe in the hit show, “Arie’s Amazing Acrodogs.” Chris Harrison and talented actor Fred Willard (“Modern Family,” “Best in Show”) offer their color commentary on a “pup-roarious” reenactment of Arie’s journey to find love. The after party provides some romantic missteps when one lady looking to get up close and personal with the “kissing bandit” stumbles on another woman who actually has her dream come true.
                                                                                                 
And the sparks continue to fly at the cocktail party as Arie and one woman face off sending a shockwave through the group. Fifteen women receive roses and travel to South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, for more romantic adventures.

The 18 remaining women are:
Annaliese, 32, event designer, San Francisco, California
Ashley, 25, real estate agent, West Palm Beach, Florida
Rebecca (Becca K.), 27, publicist, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Rebekah (Bekah M.), nanny, Los Angeles, California

WILL BEKAH M.’S BOMBSHELL REVELATION OR KRYSTAL’S INTENSE FACE-OFFS WITH THE OTHER WOMEN THROW ARIE OFF THE TRACK OF FINDING HIS SOUL MATE? FIND OUT ON ABC’S ‘THE BACHELOR,’ JANUARY 22

“Episode 2204” – Arie and the 15 remaining bachelorettes leave the Bachelor mansion behind and begin a cross-country trip to continue their search for love. First stop? South Lake Tahoe, Nevada! Seinne gets the first one-on-one date and joins Arie on a sheer adrenaline date: parasailing. Meanwhile, one woman gets a critical phone call that might change her romantic journey. A dozen ladies hike into the snowy wilderness on a survival-themed group date where they get a crash course in roughing it in the woods from professional survivalists. Arie invites Bekah M. on a romantic horseback ride through the picturesque mountainside of Lake Tahoe. However, he is about to learn a closely guarded secret about Bekah that might put an end to the couple’s possible happy ending. Finally, one bachelorette interrupts the rose ceremony to plead her case to Arie and enrages the rest of the women, on “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, JAN. 22 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

Seinne and Arie’s chemistry is simmering just below the surface, but that could change when the couple takes off on a wild parasailing adventure, which the rest of the women jealously watch through binoculars. Seinne confesses at a romantic dinner that night that happy endings have been few and far between for her. Will she get her fairytale ending with Arie? The two finish a giddy night filled with excitement dancing to the country music of LANCO.

Twelve ladies will be put to the test as they hike into the woods with survivalists Mykel Hawke and Ruth England-Hawke, who genuinely test their survival skills with some very unpleasant food and drink. The bachelorettes are attempting to track down a hot tub oasis in the middle of nowhere. The competition gets fierce when Krystal ramps up the drama when she sees Arie share his affection with other women. At the after party, Krystal is still on the rampage, confronting two ladies whom she feels “bullied” her earlier and planning her revenge.

The vivacious Bekah M. joins Arie for what should be a special day as they nestle in each other’s arms in a secluded hot tub in the woods. However, at a romantic dinner Bekah M. shares a stunning revelation about herself. Will Arie be able to look past this admission to continue their budding relationship or is this the end of the road for the lovebirds?

Panic sets in the next night as Arie makes a surprising decision. Who will stay? Who will go? Nothing goes according to plan. Next stop? Ft. Lauderdale, Florida!

The 15 remaining women are:
Ashley, 25, real estate agent, West Palm Beach, Florida

ARIE AND THE REMAINING 10 WOMEN TAKE PARIS BY STORM AS THE ROMANTIC CITY CASTS ITS SPELL, ON ABC’S ‘THE BACHELOR’

Krystal and Kendall Engage in a Battle Royale During the Infamous Two-on-One Date

“Episode 2206” – Paris, one of the most exciting and romantic cities of the world, is a spectacular backdrop for Arie’s continuing search for his soul mate. After the “Krystal-ized” drama of last week, the women are looking for a fresh start. Imagine their horror when they discover that the dreaded two-on-one date is this week. But first, Lauren B. and Arie are whisked away on a luxury speed boat down the Seine River and then tour the city’s tourist attractions. Arie surprises a group of the women with a visit to the legendary dance hall, Moulin Rouge, ending with one of them performing with the Bachelor that night onstage. Krystal and Kendall face off during the two-on-one date that ends with a romantic kiss at the top of the Eiffel Tower for one woman. The final date goes to Jacqueline, but a clash in lifestyles might be a deal breaker for Arie. Difficult decisions lie ahead at the rose ceremony and the seven remaining bachelorettes pack their bags for Tuscany, on “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, FEB. 5 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

Arie and Lauren B. take in the historic sites of Paris, but their date gets off to a slow start filled with awkward silences and forced conversation as they try to get to know each other. Lauren struggles to open up, but later at dinner, she reveals a secret that she worries might ruin her chances. Will the couple make a breakthrough and forge a connection?

Six bachelorettes are ecstatic to discover they will get private dance lessons on the stage of the famed Moulin Rouge. They show off their moves, but grow more intense and competitive when they learn that one woman will earn the chance to dance with Arie onstage that night in a performance. Afterward, the claws come out as the ladies long for Arie’s dance partner to depart.

Arie takes Krystal and Kendall to a beautiful chateau for their feared two-on-one date. The women argue and then at dinner, Arie makes a dramatic choice and takes the lucky bachelorette to the top of the Eiffel Tower where the two kiss while the other woman is left to wonder what went wrong.

On the final day in the City of Light, Arie takes Jacqueline on a wonderful shopping date where she models the latest Parisian fashions and then they dine at the iconic Maxim’s. However, Jacqueline shares her future plans, which might cause Arie to re-think whether he will offer his date a rose.

Which two women will be sent home brokenhearted and which seven toast to their next stop? Tuscany!

ARIE JOINS THE FOUR REMAINING BACHELORETTES IN THEIR HOMETOWNS, ONLY TO HAVE THEIR FAMILIES QUESTION HIS INTENTIONS, ON ABC'S 'THE BACHELOR'

"Episode 2208" - The stakes are high as Arie crisscrosses the country on an exciting, emotionally charged journey to visit the final four women's hometowns. He meets Kendall in Los Angeles for one of most bizarre dates in Bachelor history, which is followed by an unsettling meeting with his potential in-laws. Then, Arie travels to Weiner, Arkansas, where Tia's parents batter him with questions. The Bachelor's next adventure takes him to Prior Lake, Minnesota, where he joins Becca K. for a romantic homespun afternoon. However, he comes under fire again, as Becca's no-nonsense midwestern family is very skeptical of Arie and what he can offer this bachelorette. Arie's final hometown date in Virginia Beach, Virginia, is with Lauren B. A tense, uncomfortable family dinner awaits him. A totally unnerved Arie has difficulty facing the four women at the rose ceremony. There is a gut-wrenching exit in store for one of them, but which one? Arie is left to question his hardest decision yet, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, FEB. 19 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

Kendall introduces Arie to her passion: taxidermy; but oddly, it becomes a romantic, if quirky, date. Her family worries that this analytical, unconventional bachelorette may not be able to fall in love, casting doubt on the couple’s relationship. A talk with her identical twin sister convinces Kendall to let her walls down and let Arie in for the first time. But will it be too little, too late?

Tia, the feisty southern belle, plans the perfect date for Arie that is right in his wheelhouse: dirt track racing in vintage sports cars. This lady has no problem opening up to Arie and letting him know that she is falling for him. She hopes her family will welcome Arie, but her overprotective parents grill him about his reputation for dating a number of women.

Frontrunner Becca K. and Arie enjoy a romantic afternoon of simple pleasures. She tells Arie about her tight-knit family, including her uncle, who is a pastor and has become a paternal figure for Becca K. since her father’s death. Her devoted family is extremely suspicious and distrustful of Arie and his motives. Can he change their minds and gain their trust?

Arie’s final hometown date with Lauren B. is his biggest test yet. Both this woman’s father and mother have a rude awakening in store for Arie. Her intimidating military father lays on the pressure and her mom, the real taskmaster, questions his future plans. Arie becomes overwhelmed with stress at the family dinner and must leave the table. Can he convince them that his intentions are sincere, or is this the end of the road for this couple?

Arie returns to Los Angeles for his biggest rose ceremony yet, but he is more confused than ever. His feelings are more intense, and he can imagine each woman as his wife. He has no idea who he will let go. After finally gathering his nerve, he does something totally unexpected, leaving one woman shocked and devastated. Her heartbreak forces him to re-examine his decision.

The four remaining women are:
Rebecca (Becca K.), 27, publicist, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Kendall, 26, creative director, Los Angeles, California
Lauren B., 25, technology salesperson, Dallas, Texas
Tia, 26, physical therapist, Weiner, Arkansas

Whose Ex-Boyfriend Makes a Grand Gesture to Steal Back One of the Bachelorette’s Hearts?

“Episode 2209” – Arie, weeks away from a possible proposal, takes his final three women – Becca K., Kendall and Lauren B. – to historic, exotic Peru for the adventurous, romantic overnight dates. From an exhilarating buggy ride zigzagging up and down the sand dunes of coastal Peru to a thrilling plane tour of the country’s famous Nazca Lines to a catamaran excursion around the breathtaking Ballestas Islands, the dates are filled with passion and excitement as Arie continues to explore what his future might be like with each of these potential mates.

Back on the ground, Lauren B. drops a bombshell. That night, Arie convinces his once skeptical date of his true feelings in an extremely emotional declaration.

A thrilled Becca K. and Arie explore the rich marine life around the Ballestas Islands, just off the southern coast Peru. The couple couldn’t seem happier. That night under the stars in a romantic tent, Becca K. opens up to Arie and reveals when she first knew she was in love with him. In return, Arie is compelled to reveal his deep feelings for Becca K., too. 

The next day, in one of the most dramatic twists in Bachelor history, a mystery visitor arrives ready to upset Arie’s dreams of a happily ever after.

I think the fallout from the season will be way more entertaining than the season itself. I know of many people that have no problem with what happened, it is just "how" it came about.
