The Bachelor

Chris Soules, the handsome successful "Prince Farming," introduced himself to last season's Bachelorette Andi Dorfman, and female fans fell hard for the soft spoken man with a heart of gold. This dreamboat farmer and wealthy businessman from Iowa is looking to fall in love and bring his wife back home. Chris truly believes he can find the right woman who will love him and share a life with him in the small Iowa town of Arlington. So, with the support of his family and the state of Iowa rooting for him, Chris is ready to begin the search for his soul mate, choosing from a record 30 beautiful bachelorettes.

The drama begins immediately, as the 22 remaining bachelorettes are shocked when Kimberly, who had been eliminated, suddenly returns to steal the Bachelor away and makes an emotional plea to give her a second chance, but will he? Now, just living down the road from the mansion, Chris starts the fun with six gorgeous women stripping down to sexy swimsuits for a rooftop pool party, but the competition heats up as the ladies have a tractor race on the streets of Los Angeles, with the winner getting special alone time with Chris. Megan captures the first one-on-one date of the season: a romantic helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Eleven women face one of the most scary group dates ever as they shoot their way through a maze of zombies using paintballs as ammunition. One seductive woman is out to cause trouble for Chris at the cocktail party.

Jimmy Kimmel surprises Bachelor Chris and the 18 remaining women by taking over the show as guest host for this episode. A long-time avid fan of the franchise, he informs them that he is there to help Chris on his journey to find a wife to bring home to Arlington, Iowa. He introduces the bachelorettes to his "Amazing Jar," plans dates and winds up in a hot tub - all in the name of love.

Chris' three sisters will pick the lucky bachelorette to go on a special one-on-one date with their brother. A beautiful beach day at Lake Piru in the mountains of Southern California turns up the heat at a group date, as one woman jumps in without her bikini top and - not to be outdone - another takes off her bikini bottom. The day at the lake turns into camping out and spending the night there. One aggressive woman shares some surprising news with Chris, but will it make a difference in how he views her as a potential soul mate? Chris gets "down and dirty" with six bachelorettes as they travel to San Francisco to participate in a grueling mud run - in wedding dresses. The cocktail party leads to more revelations and confrontations, as one woman questions Chris' motives for being here and he, in return, delivers a blunt message to the rest of the bachelorettes.

Chris and the 11 remaining women begin their journey around the country to find love in picturesque Santa Fe, New Mexico. Carly is the lucky woman to get the first one-on-one date, but the couple has to survive a very awkward, intimate meeting with the "Love Guru." Kelsey, already the focus of the other women's animosity, stirs up more trouble when some of the women don't believe her to be the sympathetic character she seems to be. A group date with nine gorgeous bachelorettes challenges them to ride the white water rapids of the Rio Grande River, but one woman falls overboard with perilous results. A stunned Chris is confronted by a rejected lady from his past who won't take "no" for an answer. The Bachelor swoops in and takes Britt on a fabulously romantic hot air balloon ride, but is there something she is hiding from Chris to curry favor? Finally, Kelsey's bid for attention goes awry.

All hell breaks loose when Kelsey faints after a panic attack and the paramedics are called in to help. Chris cancels the cocktail party, but will Kelsey's breakdown influence his decisions? Is she faking it? Finally, nine women remain with the hope of becoming Chris' wife. So, it is on to Deadwood, South Dakota for a taste of the Wild West. Chris takes one woman on a romantic horseback ride along the scenic trails of this mountain region. Drama ensues when the women, fed up with the calculating Kelsey, decide to call her out on her questionable behavior. A group of bachelorettes are left speechless when they are introduced to country chartbusters Big & Rich. However, they are stunned when they find out they each have to write a love song and perform it in front of a live audience - and Chris gets in the act, too!
