The Bachelorette

In this season's premiere, 25 eligible men come from all over the country to try and win DeAnna's heart, including a professional football player, professional snowboarder and professional basketball player, as well as successful lawyers, teachers and businessmen, each more handsome than the next and all with standout personalities. DeAnna is stunning in a sexy gold dress, and the guys can't take their eyes off of her. She has three "first impression" rose boutonnieres to give out and wastes no time, as one man's quiet charm captures her attention immediately emerging from the limo. Once inside her villa, the battle is on, as men present her with gifts, one asks her to dance and yet another bachelor -- who is a chef -- tries to make an impression by whipping up a special crab cocktail which he presents to DeAnna, much to the dismay of the other men. 

As the 15 remaining bachelors arrive at DeAnna's luxurious villa hoping to win her hand, the first surprise of the season confronts the guys. For the first time in the series' history, three lucky bachelors - Jeremy, Jesse and Richard - who received the first impression roses, will live in the mansion with DeAnna this week. The remaining 12 men must live in the decidedly unglamorous bunk house down the hill. There is a mysterious group date to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles and another truly male fantasy date to Dodger Stadium to meet up with the legendary Tom Lasorda and participate in a home run derby. But after careful deliberation, DeAnna must eliminate three men, as she tries to make her fairytale come true.

DeAnna turns up the heat with a romantic one-on-one dinner date overlooking Los Angeles and another under the stars at the historic Mt. Wilson Observatory, with both rendezvous having a high-stakes rose on the line - if the bachelor doesn't receive a rose, he goes home. The Bachelorette takes the remaining men on a "ride em cowboy" visit to a bona fide dude ranch with another rose at stake. DeAnna also has special surprise in store for her beaus when she takes them to meet her good friend Ellen DeGeneres. And Ellen won't just be questioning the men; she'll also be handing out a rose.

DeAnna runs a singing showdown between the men, with the winner escorting her to the historic Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles for a surprise appearance by pop star Natasha Bedingfield, who serenades the couple with one of her greatest hits. Then six of the bachelors travel to the California Motor Speedway to race stock cars, with the speediest winning coveted alone time with DeAnna. The tension between the men is turned up, forcing a dramatic confrontation with an emotional DeAnna. And then, on a dramatic two-on-one date, the Bachelorette must determine which man to give a rose and which to send home, leading to an outrageous decision that proves this independent woman can make the hard choices.

The pressure mounts as DeAnna must decide which four men will have the opportunity to take her home to meet their families. But first the remaining six bachelors are surprised to be traveling to a luxurious Palm Springs resort, where DeAnna and Sean take their relationship to new heights with a scenic aerial tram ride to a romantic mountain-top dinner. The Bachelorette shares another moonlit night with Jeremy, dining and dancing in the home where Frank Sinatra once lived. And a rough and tumble group date makes daredevils of the other four men, as they have to step up their game with a day of ATV riding. In the end, DeAnna will offer her final four roses without hesitation to those lucky men.

The stakes are high for DeAnna as she leaves her Malibu villa for an exciting, emotionally-charged journey across the country to visit the final four men's hometowns. Her bonds grow stronger with some of the bachelors and she is severely tested by some of the families and the guys. In the end, she questions her connection with all the remaining bachelors - Jesse, Jeremy, Jason and Graham. Will she ever love again? DeAnna must make a difficult, crucial decision to send one man home, which leaves her in tears.

Romantic adventures await DeAnna and the final three men - Jason, Jeremy and Jesse -- as they travel to the tropical paradise of Grand Bahama Island for the intimate overnight dates. After shockingly sending frontrunner Graham home despite her strong feelings for him, DeAnna is unsure about how this journey will end. The dates are not only filled with amazing sand and surf adventures, but also excitement and passion, as DeAnna continues to explore what her future would be like with each of these potential mates. At the end of each evening, the Bachelorette will present the bachelor with an invitation to spend the night in a "fantasy suite," with the hope that he will accept. But will he? It's a wild, romantic ride with each of the men -- until DeAnna has to make a heart-wrenching decision to eliminate one of them.

DeAnna invites Jesse and Jason to visit her family in Georgia. They are justifiably concerned after watching her heart break over Brad Womack. Her family wants to make sure that whoever she chooses has real feelings for her this time. When Jason arrives, he feels right at home and tells her sister, Chrissy, he is honestly in love with DeAnna and can see himself marrying her. Jason also asks DeAnna's surprised father for permission to marry her. 

DeAnna now faces a life-altering decision. Will she choose Jesse or Jason? Will he propose? Will she finally get her happy ending and find her soul mate? DeAnna sorts through all of her intense emotions and looks into her future to get the answer she needs on the gripping Season Finale that ends with one devastated bachelor and the other engaged to be married.

DeAnna Pappas appears with her fiancé, but will it be Jason or Jesse who captured her heart? Both of the final two bachelors return to discuss the challenges they faced as they competed to be the man she chose. DeAnna responds to some tough final questions about Jason and Jesse. The men discuss the joys and heartache of the dramatic final rose ceremony and share their reaction to the emotional choice DeAnna made that final day. DeAnna and her fiancé also make a surprise announcement to their family and fans. And Matt Grant, the first international Bachelor, makes a surprise visit with his fiancée, Shayne Lamas.
