The Bachelor - 20 ª Season

In the season premiere, a trio of former Bachelors arrive at the mansion to offer Ben some words of wisdom before he starts his journey to find the love of his life. Then the 28 bachelorettes arrive, one by one, to start their journey to win Ben's heart. After an exciting but long and stressful first night winds down, it's time for the first rose ceremony of the season. Twenty-one lucky women will continue their journey to win Ben's heart. But one brazen bachelorette pulls the Bachelor aside and chastises him for something he didn't do. What was it?

Ben greets 10 ladies at a local Los Angeles high school where he invites them to take a trip down memory lane with him, but Lace is desperate to redeem herself after her erratic behavior at the first rose ceremony. Chris Harrison gets the first one-on-one date off to an exciting start when he introduces ICE CUBE and KEVIN HART. The actors, fresh from the set of feature film Ride Along 2, have some ideas for Ben and his date, and they are soon off on a rollicking, unconventional rendezvous, which will end with a special performance by popular singer-songwriter AMOS LEE. Finally, a visit to the Love Lab will test six bachelorettes to see who among them has the best connection to Ben. The week culminates when the drama-filled rose ceremony has one lady making a stunning decision.

After the stunning departure of Lauren (LB), who refused Ben's rose, the Bachelor is monetarily set back on his heels, but there are still 17 women who are anxious to spend time with him. Lauren B. and Ben soar in a biplane to a secluded spot where a hot tub awaits; they also enjoy a romantic dinner followed by a private performance by LUCY ANGEL, one of the Bachelor's favorite music groups. Twelve ladies are involved in an intense soccer competition, coached by ALEX MORGAN and KELLEY O'HARA of the World Cup Champion U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Jubilee is in for a real treat as she and Ben share a romantic tryst at an exclusive spa. However, real-life events intercede, and Ben gets tragic news from home. Can he overcome both the real-life drama and the women's emotional confrontations with each other to pick the right bachelorettes to continue with him?

Ben and his bachelorettes all are willing to gamble on love in "Sin City," as he escorts the remaining 14 women to Las Vegas.
