The Bachelor series has been one of ABC’s most popular unscripted series for a long time and is the cornerstone of a very successful franchise. Is there any chance that The Bachelor will be cancelled or is it sure to be renewed for season 30? Stay tuned.
A dating reality series, The Bachelor TV show is hosted by former Bachelor and professional football player Jesse Palmer. Season 29 follows Grant Ellis as he meets, courts, and weeds out 25 potential “soul mates” in his quest for “true love.” A 31-year-old day trader and former pro basketball player from New Jersey, Ellis was the runner-up pursuing Jenn Tran on the 21st season of The Bachelorette. Most of the action takes place in Los Angeles, but during the course of the season, Ellis and some of the contestants will visit Scotland, Madrid, Spain, and the Dominican Republic.
