Anyone who watches The Bachelor knows that many of the contestants are not there “for the right reasons,” which usually means that they appear on the show to get famous and not to find love. But the contestants aren’t the only ones who bend the truth a bit.
Many reality shows use editing or create storylines to make things more interesting. Some purposefully create drama or certain feuds so that viewers will tune in.
The Bachelor is not the first and will not be the last to push a certain narrative. But who would think that the hometown dates are not 100% real?

Let's face it: meeting someone attractive for the first time is hard enough as is. You're nervous and trying to think of the right thing to say to make an impression on them. Now imagine meeting that attractive person for the first time, but surrounded by cameras that record your interaction for millions to watch for the sake of reality TV. The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have brought dramatic, fence-jumping drama to television for years, but none of that is as entertaining or memorable as the limo entrances during the first episode of each season, which makes us wonder . . . are these entrances staged?
Not only is this moment important for contestants to impress the Bachelor or Bachelorette, it's an essential part for viewers to determine the favorite contestants, the weirdos, and sometimes, even the season's villain. Hannah Brown's season had some hilarious and awkward entrances, from Matt Donald's...

Greetings rose lovers! Kristen Baldwin was waylaid earlier today by an Accent Table of Doom (those things really do pop up everywhere!), so I’ll be filling in for her for what Chris Harrison promised would be a ”very special episode.” And he wasn’t just talking about the extended, porn music-filled shower scene that came perilously close to introducing the world to Little Sean. No, there were more “very special” bits. Because what happens during Very Special Episodes, kids — you know, other than outlandish sexual assaults and fleeting drug addictions? We learn things! So, in the spirit of tonight’s Bachelor,...

The season premiere of The Bachelor can be a lot to take in. There are 25 gorgeous, nutty bachelorettes to meet (or in this season's case, 26), and it's hard to get to know them all in just two hours. Obviously, ABC had to show off the major crazies. (Who could forget drunk Ashley P. and her Fifty Shades of Grey fetish?) There had to be plenty of Bachelor Sean waxing poetic about the meaning of love, marriage and family as he gazes thoughtfully at the misty mountains and crashing waves on the beach. And there had to be some honestly moving stories, like background about Sarah's amniotic band syndrome and AshLee F.'s history with foster homes.
Of course, that means that some scenes were left on the cutting room floor. Luckily, ABC has shared a few deleted scenes, including videos of Sean's one-on-one with Chris, Lauren's big...

This chick is "Fifty Shades of Crazy."28-year-old hair stylist Ashley P. from Macomb, Mississippi was one of the first women eliminated on the premiere episode of "The Bachelor" ... and her obsession with E.L. James' steamy book, "Fifty Shades of Grey," is to blame.With her own tie in hand, Ashley was on a mission to become Sean Lowe's very own Anastasia Steele -- and had her fellow rose-hunters thinking she was "obliterated" with her bizarre behavior and wild dance moves.Check out the video above to see exactly why she didn't make the cut.

Let me start this season off by saying it’s always good to be back. I always miss you guys as much as you miss the show. I didn’t get a chance to put up a blog after Ashley and Jp’s wedding so before I dive into the new season of The Bachelor let me back up a bit and say just a few words. I was incredibly honored to be a part of that special day. The truth is that the odds of any relationship, on TV or off, making it all the way to the altar...

Sean Lowe decides to shake things up a little on "The Bachelor" premiere, just handing out roses all willy-nilly, much to the consternation of the ladies. It is rather delightful to watch. But let's see how we got there ...
We kick things off with Sean wearing a shirt -- but surely that won't last long. Oh! And there it is. Shirtless at 40 seconds in. Well, thank God because why else are we watching?
The show makes us relive Sean's "love affair" with Emily, complete with him running through the streets of Prague calling her name and then pressing her up against a wall to make out. It's actually rather amazing the clips manage to find moments when Emily and Sean weren't making out, because it seemed like that was all they did. Which, hey, we don't judge because there are worse things.
As the plinky-plunky strains of Emily Despair play,...
