Steve Carbone, better known as Reality Steve, has become the indisputable spoiler king for The Bachelor and all its spinoffs.
Starting out with a column about The Bachelor that he wrote as a fan, Reality Steve’s big break came when he got a hot tip about Jason Mesnick’s messy season.
The rest is history, as he quickly became the go-to source for all the juiciest Bachelor Nation spoilers, launching a 15-year career from what began as a reality TV obsession and, quite frankly, a hobby.
This season, Reality Steve nailed nearly every single episode of the show with detailed spoilers about who gets Joey Graziadei’s attention, who gets a rose, and who goes home with surgical precision.
That is, except who gets that final rose, as his initial spoilers from before this season of The Bachelor even started had claimed that the winner is Daisy Kent.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. knew that breaking up with Becca Kufrin would blow up The Bachelor Season 22. After giving her the final rose, Luyendyk shocked Bachelor Nation when he told Kufrin he wanted to break off their engagement – one of the most brutal moments in reality TV.
The series was dragged for filming Kufrin’s raw and emotional reaction to being dumped on national television. Luyendyk was vilified.
He knew that he would be hit hard on social media and Bachelor host Chris Harrison warned him how damaging a breakup like this could be to his career.

Nearly two decades ago, Trista Sutter was the runner-up on the first season of “The Bachelor,” a new reality show that would go on to become one of the most successful franchises in television history.
Little did Sutter — then, Trista Rehn — know, she would become the very first star of “The Bachelorette,” ABC’s first spinoff of the mega franchise. And little did she know, she would also meet her husband on a reality dating show.
“The Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” ends each season with a proposal and engagement, but more often than not, the TV couples call it quits a few years, or months, later. And yet, the original “Bachelorette” couple is still together. Ryan Sutter was one of Rehn’s 25 contestants who fought to win her heart, and 17 years later, the couple is happily married with two children.

Kaitlyn Bristowe waited five years for her “Dancing with the Stars” dream to come true, a turn of events that she says “feels like a wrong has been made right.”
Chris Harrison shocked the Season 11 “Bachelorette” star on Monday’s “The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons — Ever!” when he told Bristowe that she’d be on “Dancing” Season 29 — three years after she claimed that “Bachelor” creator Mike Fleiss blocked her from going on the show in 2015 following her rose-giving stint.
“I just think it goes to show if you’re resilient and you always are strong with what you believe in and fight for what you want — and as long as you are a good person doing those things — even if it takes five years, something good will come from it,” Bristowe told “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below).

Arie Luyendyk Jr. found love on “The Bachelor,” but he is definitely not surprised that there are far more breakups than marriages in the franchise.
“It’s such a difficult — I hate to call it process — but it is a difficult show,” the Season 22 alum said on Shawn Johnson and Andrew East‘s podcast “Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew” podcast. “And that’s probably why you find that a lot of people don’t make it is because it’s just so taxing emotionally. It’s not natural to have two people that you [have] at the end, and then have to break up with one person and get engaged to another person an hour later. It’s just so weird. It’s, like, no wonder it barely works.”

Trying to find true love, Jason Mesnick took the opportunity to appear on the two sister-shows that try to help either a bachelor or bachelorette whittle their way through a group of men or women, also eager to land themselves a love interest.

After years upon years of wondering where to watch “The Bachelor” online, past seasons of the franchise are finally available for streaming.
HBO Max, which launched today, has curated a sampling of specific seasons to license, featuring both the U.S. and international versions of “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” “Bachelor In Paradise” and “Bachelor Pad.”
“The Bachelor” franchise, which debuted in 2002, is distributed by Warner Bros. Television and produced by the production arm, Warner Horizon, both of which fall under the Warner Media umbrella, the media company powering the portfolio of content on HBO Max.

Now that Season 24 of “The Bachelor” is over and, you know, Peter Weber and Madison Prewett lasted a mere two days after the finale, everyone is free to weigh in, like Peter’s producer Julie Laplaca.
In the frenzy to spoil Peter’s then-unspoiled season, one of the theories fans came up with was that the pilot was dating Laplaca, who was his producer. This was based on them having spent New Year’s Eve together, which was basically a promo stop for the season premiere, hence why a producer would be with him. Like any good salesman, Rob Mills, ABC’s alternative programming executive, and Chris Harrison kept trolling everyone by neither confirming nor denying the rumor. After keeping quiet, Laplaca has now said her piece — and no, she and Peter are not dating.

With Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor ending with another broken engagement, we're wondering at this point when the last successful Bachelor franchise proposal was. Thinking backward, Hannah Brown broke up with Jed Wyatt shortly after he proposed, and Colton Underwood's finale was derailed when Cassie Randolph left the show (they later reconciled). In fact, the last few seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have ended so unconventionally that to find a season that actually ended with the final couple getting engaged and staying together, we have to look back quite a few years.
There has only been one Bachelor who has actually married the woman he proposed to at the final rose ceremony. We have to go all the way back to 2013's season 17, which starred Sean Lowe as the Bachelor. At the end of his season, he proposed to Catherine Giudici, and they got married...

Dear Chris Harrison, I'd like to thank you on behalf of Bachelor Nation for your services. If this week's complicated Bachelor finale taught viewers anything, it's that you are a live-tv pro. The wrap-up for Peter Weber's season of the show could not have been more of a mess, and you managed to spin that mess into water-cooler-talk gold. You delivered on your promise: Peter's was the most dramatic season finale ever.
As someone who's watched every season of every Bachelor franchise, I've tuned in to see Chris navigate tricky waters more than a few times. That Jake and Vienna sit-down? The Jason Mesnick switcheroo? I mean, wow. Chris has certainly moderated his fair share of - how do I put this? - sh*tshow scenarios, and the conversations between Peter, Madison Prewett, and the Weber family certainly rank among the franchise's most awkward moments ever.

ABC is really gonna milk this unspoiled finale for all it’s worth, huh? On Monday’s “The Bachelor: Women Tell All,” Chris Harrison teased Peter Weber‘s two-part finale next week as one so unpredictable that not a single soul knows how it concludes.
“It is a finale so unexpected, so unprecedented, there is not a single person who knows how Peter’s journey will end,” Harrison stated. “Not even Peter.”
Is this typical Bachelor Nation hyperbole or is there something to it? The fact that the finale has been unspoiled gives it some credence, and Peter, who picked his final two of Hannah Ann Sluss and Madison Prewett on Monday’s episode, confirms there is a basis of truth to it.

Keeping up with The Bachelor without a traditional cable setup has never been easier, but what time do new episodes arrive on Hulu? The streaming service allows viewers to watch the series - along with many, many others - without having an old-fashioned TV setup, but the exact time you can watch the latest Bachelor drama actually depends on what version of Hulu you have.
In recent years, Hulu has introduced a deluxe service, Hulu + Live TV, which is exactly what it sounds like: Hulu's streaming library, plus the ability to "tune in" to live TV on certain partnered channels. If you have this service, you can watch episodes of The Bachelor live as they air on regular TV or on demand at your convenience. Currently priced at $61 per month, the subscription is one of the popular cord-cutting services, since it doesn't require subscribers to wait weeks or months for...

However, on the final episode and in what is touted to be the most dramatic twist in the history of the Bachelor show, Jason changed his mind. The show went on to feature a come-back between Jason and the runner-up, Molly Malaney. Jason with a good dose

Netflix, it looks like you've got some explaining to do... What do you do when your teenage son finds out that you were on a season of The Bachelor? That's what former Bachelor contestant Jason Mesnick wants to know. On Sunday, Dec. 15, he took to Instagram to ask his followers what they would do if they were in his current situation. "Let's pretend You were The Bachelor and your 15-year-old son just discovered your season on @Neflix...," he captioned his post. "Do you: A.) Let him watch it? B.) Ship him off to Switzerland for a few years until it comes off Netflix." Jason added: "Current situation in the Mesnick household [laughing emoji]...

It feels like someone from the “Bachelor” franchise is on “Dancing with the Stars” every season, but in reality (no pun intended), there’s only been eight love-seeking folks who’ve hoofed it on the hardwood in 28 seasons. And Hannah Brown is just the second one to actually win the whole thing.
Here the “Bachelor” franchise track record on “Dancing”:
1. Trista Sutter: Season 1, sixth place (first eliminated)
2. Melissa Rycroft: Season 8, third place; Season 15, won
3. Jake Pavelka: Season 10, seventh place
4. Sean Lowe: Season 16, sixth place
5. Chris Soules: Season 20, fifth place
6. Nick Viall: Season 24, sixth place
7. Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile: Season 27, fifth place
8. Hannah Brown: Season 28, won
Brown joins Rycroft as the only Bachelor Nation stars to win “Dancing,” but Brown is the first titular Bachelor or Bachelorette to prevail. Rycroft was never the Bachelorette and was a last-minute replacement on Season 8, taking Nancy O’Dell...

As Gold Derby’s official odds predicted, “The Bachelorette” star Hannah Brown won the Mirror Ball Trophy on November 25 at the end of the season 28 finale right after getting her first ever perfect score for her freestyle routine (watch it below). But how does Brown compare to the Mirror Ball champs who came before her? Refresh you memory by looking through our gallery of all 28 winners above, and then vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
Brown’s victory makes her the first “Bachelorette” ever to win the Mirror Ball, but the second from the “Bachelor” extended universe, following Melissa Rycroft, who finished third in season eight before coming back to triumph in the all-star edition in season 15. Rycroft won season 13 of “The Bachelor,” but her suitor, Jason Mesnick, broke off their engagement to marry that season’s runner-up. Brown also had a heartbreak before her “DWTS...

Bachelor Nation is no stranger to “Dancing with the Stars.” A bunch of its alums have hoofed it, and Hannah Brown will be the latest to do so this fall. But her participation is notable in one way: She’s only the second titular Bachelorette to do “Dancing with the Stars.”
The only other star of “The Bachelorette” to hit the hardwood was the very first one, Trista Sutter, who has the dubious honor of being the very first contestant eliminated on “Dancing” way back in its six-contestant debut season in 2005. It was practically a different show back then. Since then, “Dancing” has only booked one other female Bachelor Nation alum prior to Brown: Melissa Rycroft, who was dumped by Jason Mesnick after he chose her on the Season 13 finale of “The Bachelor.” Rycroft was never the Bachelorette, and she finished third on Season 8 of “Dancing” and then won the...

Every season of The Bachelor or Bachelor-adjacent shows, host Chris Harrison promises, "The most dramatic season yet." But with Colton Underwood's stint as The Bachelor, everything changed. We were given a riveting, dramatic season that lived up to Harrison's teases, especially when the final episodes entirely pivoted from what we've come to expect from the show. In the end, there were two painful break-ups in one day and there was no proposal: just the uncertain promise of a relationship that may or may not result in marriage. It feels more and more like The Bachelor's formula may be breaking, and I'm here for it.
The Bachelor franchise has relied on the same premise for years: a slew of suitors are paraded out of a limo with the expectation that they will all fall in love the universally desirable Bachelor/Bachelorette, and within weeks, one of those lucky contestants...

Before Hannah B. was announced as the next leading lady on ABC’s “The Bachelorette,” Khloe Kardashian’s name was brought into the casting conversation, thanks to Mike Fleiss, the creator of “The Bachelor” franchise.
Fleiss — who is known to generate attention for his unfiltered tweets — wrote on Twitter that Kardashian was in talks to become the next “Bachelorette.” He kept the narrative alive over the course of many tweets, until Kardashian slammed him for using her name as clickbait.
“I have already been in contact with my dear friend Kris Jenner about Khloe Kardashian as The Bachelorette,” Fleiss tweeted. “Stay tuned!!!”
Kardashian and her famous family spoke out against Fleiss with Kardashian even threatening legal action, tweeting, “I’m not f—king clickbait right now. Stop or you will be hearing from my lawyers. How insensitive!!” Her sister, Kim Kardashian West, also tweeted, “Fake f—king news big time!

Before Arie, there was Jason. Last year, Arie Luyendyk Jr. became the most hated man on social media when he blindsided his then-fiancé Becca Kufrin by breaking up with her on-camera in order to pursue his original runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Some viewers of The Bachelor called it the most dramatic moment in the franchise's history. But for longtime fans, we'd been here before. 10 years ago, 17 million viewers watched as the Bachelor Jason Mesnick, so beloved from his turn on DeAnna Pappas' season of The Bachelorette, broke up with then-fiancé Melissa Rycroft because he couldn't stop thinking about Molly Malaney, the woman he broke up with in New Zealand. It was painful. It...

The very first episode of The Bachelor premiered on March 25, 2002. Back then, it seemed crazy that two people could fall in love with each other, much less get engaged, in a matter of weeks. And yet, Bachelor Nation continued coming for more, proving that we just can't get enough of the ABC show. If you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, and seeing Chris Harrison in all his glory, it might be time to binge-watch some old seasons.
From seasons one to 22, there have been a whole lot of memorable moments. Thanks to ABC's tribute video to the host with the most, we know that there have been 6,578 kisses, 2,924 roses, and 37 proposals. Unfortunately, Netflix and Hulu won't help you see every single one of them. Neither streaming service offers old seasons. Even ABC's website only gives you access to episodes from the current season. At this rate, it...

At this point, viewers don't really expect the Neil Lane diamonds—and the Bachelor Nation love stories they represent—to be long for this world. With only one Bachelor couple still looking rosy today and another six from spin-off The Bachelorette, the franchise has earned its reputation for not exactly being conducive to lasting love. For some of the more cynical viewers of ABC's love hunts it's become almost sport to start betting on just how many months it will take for the final couple to release a carefully parsed breakup statement and relinquish their multi-carat jewels. (The record goes to Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft...

It's been more than 10 years since DeAnna Pappas was given a shot at love as ABC's The Bachelorette. And even after all this time, the former reality star often gets asked one specific question. "People always ask me if I went on for the right reasons and as dumb as it sounds and as cliché as it sounds, I really did," DeAnna shared with E! News exclusively earlier this month at Unicon 2018—The Unicorn Mom's Convention. "I was sold on the love story and the happy ending." As viewers recall, DeAnna originally didn't receive a final rose from Brad Womack. And while she experienced a proposal from runner-up Jason Mesnick and winner Jesse Csincsak on The...

Bachelor in Paradise, the typically light-hearted summer spinoff in ABC's reality wheelhouse, took itself a bit more seriously during its Tuesday night finale. Seemingly learning from the flaws of its franchise siblings, heavyweights The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, the post-finale reunion show delivered just as many relationship commitments as it did engagements.
In 22 seasons of The Bachelor, only one star, Sean Lowe, has married his winner. Two other memorable Bachelors, Jason Mesnick and the most recent Arie Luyendyk Jr., are, respectively, married and engaged to their runner-ups.

12. Chris Soules
Our small town farm boy hero Chris Soules didn’t have a very dramatic season, all things considered, but he’s been rocked by scandal after his time on TV. In April 2017, Soules rear-ended a man on a tractor who later died. He was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal car crash, according to the Des Moines Register. The outlet reported in March that Soules was “appealing the Iowa Supreme Court’s recent decision not to consider the merits of the charge against him.”
11. Jesse Palmer
Back in Season 5, the early, early days of the long-standing franchise, Jesse’s season was billed as the “most dramatic ever!” Even though by now much more dramatic events have happened on “The Bachelor,” Jesse did at one point call out the wrong woman’s name at the Rose Ceremony and had his best friend’s wife posing as a contestant.

The new season of The Bachelorette hasn't even started yet, but the drama is already underway. Bachelor Nation watched Becca Kufrin get her heart broken by Arie Luyendyk Jr. on national TV, so naturally viewers are hoping she'll find love once her season begins. But, according to a new reddit thread, one of the guys from her season isn't only interested in getting to know her. [Warning: Possible spoilers ahead.] The scandal started when Raven Gates and Adam Gottschalk revealed on a podcast that one of Becca's contestants was Dm'ing her Bachelor co-star Tia Booth. Uh-oh. "The drama started from Raven and Adam saying a guy on Becca's season was DMing Tia," one fan wrote. "We don't know if it's Colton [Underwood]. But Colton expressed his interest in Tia several times on Twitter and they are following each other on Instagram so people speculated Colton is the guy they were talking about."

He pulled a Mesnick. Every fan of The Bachelor knows what that means. Almost ten years ago, Jason Mesnick gave Bachelor Nation one of the franchise's most infamous moments, when he broke up with Melissa Rycroft on live television during the After the Final Rose special, after proposing to her in the finale. His reasoning? He was actually in love with Molly Malaney, who he then asked for a second chance with after ending things with Melissa on the very same couch minutes before. And that is how your name becomes a verb, something current Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. is about to learn. As E!

While he initially proposed to Melissa Rycroft, Jason realized he wanted a second chance with Molly Malaney. She accepted and they quickly proved just how real their love story is. Need proof?

On March 25, 2002, ABC introduced to the world a show that took one man’s search for Ms. Right and, with the help of some alleged post-production trickery and the casting of some beyond wackadoo hopefuls, turned it into a reality-tv phenomenon which has since spawned multiple STDs spin-offs.
We’re of course talking about The Bachelor, which on this day marks its 15th anniversary.

Though he put a ring on it after a romantic trip to Finland, it seemed the fairy tale was over for four-time Bachelor cast member Viall and his choice, Grimaldi, on Monday night.

Even Bachelor Nation was questioning the love between the newly engaged couple.
