The Bachelor

Clayton Echard is ready to settle down.

He's ready to find a wife and start a family?

Cassidy Timbrooks just went ahead and spoiled some of The Bachelor.

In epic fashion.

The Bachelor is off, running... crying, screaming, yelling and, in some cases, scheming.

On the latest installment of this franchise, Clayton Echard wondered whether or not he could take a rose back from a suitor after learning she had a side piece waiting for her back home.

Folks, it's only week two, and we already have out first Bachelor cliffhanger!

With her horrendous dance moves and her blatant disrespect for the challenges of mental illness, Shanae definitely earned the most enemies last night.

SURPRISE!

ABC has released footage from this Monday's season premiere of The Bachelor, revealing that Clayton Echarrd was greeted by a surprise guest when he arrived at the California mansion many weeks ago.

On his very first episode as the leading man of The Bachelor, Clayton Echard got rejected by two women.

By his own admission, it was a rather rough start to Clayton's run as this series lead.

At the beginning of every new season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, it can be difficult to keep all of the contestants straight.

After all, there are a lot of them, and the show tends to stick to pretty strict casting guidelines (muscular former athletes for the guys, slim former cheerleaders or pageant contestants for the ladies; almost always under 40 in both cases).

ABC has taken a great deal of heat for choosing Clayton Echard as the latest Bachelor, considering he failed to advance very far on Michelle Young's recent season of The Bachelorette.

As it now turns out, this backlash is a tad bit ironic.

Clayton Echard hears the criticism.

He knows what you probably think of him.

So many aspects of Colton Underwood's coming out story have been heartwarming and even inspiring.

There's always a "but," though, and we're not just talking about stalking Cassie.

For a lot of reasons and in a lot of ways, Colton Underwood had a very hard time before he came out.

To say that he stumbled is an understatement. 

Earlier this month, Michelle Young made history as The Bachelorette.

At the same time, executives in charge of this franchise went ahead and did the exact opposite.

Clayton Echard was only just confirmed as The Bachelor on Tuesday.

And his season doesn't premiere until January 3.

The worst-kept-secret on television has, at last, become a controversial reality.

Clayton Echard willl lead The Bachelor Season 26.

It's a tale of two Hannahs and one very busy Peter!

Earlier this week, fans were shocked by the news that Hannah Brown hooked up with Peter Weber during his time as the Bachelor.

Since finishing his run as leading man, Peter Weber has had a lot of ups and downs.

He has been in and out of relationships, Peter has even trashed The Bachelor as no place to find love.

Finally.

Finally, we have confirmation of two rather important details related to The Bachelor Season 26.

In the summer of 2017, the Bachelor Nation waited to learn who would eventually be the next leading man.

Eric Bigger was a serious contender, with a tremendous amount of fan support.

Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette just got underway, but already, speculation about the next season of The Bachelor is in full swing.

As you may have heard, rumor has it that Clayton Echard has been named the next Bachelor.

Peter Weber believes that ghosts are more real than the changes of someone actually finding love on The Bachelor.

Confused?

Jesse Palmer has accepted a rose from ABC.

In a manner of speaking, that is.
