The Bachelorette is a spin-off of the competitive reality dating show The Bachelor. It was once cancelled in 2005 after two seasons but three years later it was brought back in 2008.
Premise[]
Just like in The Bachelor, the series revolves around a single bachelorette (deemed eligible) and a pool of romantic interests (typically 25, 30 in Season 5) which could include a potential husband for the bachelorette. Unlike The Bachelor, one of two male suitors proposes to the bachelorette for the final session. The Bachelor does not, however, always propose at the end of the show. For example, at the end of Juan Pablo's season, he decided to "choose" a girl to keep spending time with, but evidentially was not ready for a proposal. A proposal at the end of the show is not always guaranteed. It is up to the bachelor/bachelorette to decide that.
