The Bachelor: Sean and Catherine’s Wedding airs live Jan. 26 on ABC

January 23, 2014 Lori Acken Comments Off

Just nine days before their much-anticipated wedding, Season 17 Bachelor Sean Lowe and his beautiful, brunette bride-to-be Catherine Giudici were the picture of serenity at an ABC press soiree — handily blowing the minds of reporters still mildly traumatized by our long-ago pre-wedding jitters. Petite and glamorous in an animal print dress and matching heels, Giudici rested her hand comfortably on Lowe’s leg as they chatted about the couple’s love story, their future and — yes — this Sunday’s The Bachelor: Sean and Catherine’s Wedding. In addition to the actual ceremony, the two-hour event — the first-ever live Bachelor wedding […]

The Bachelor’s Juan Pablo: “I want a family and 2 more kids”

December 27, 2013 Lori Acken Comments Off

Fans of The Bachelorette who were crushed when Season 9’s Desiree Hartsock sent Juan Pablo Galavis packing after a Barcelona group date got their wish when the sexy single dad was named The Bachelor for Season 18 last August. This month, the former pro soccer player will kick off a new search love — this time as the guy handing out the roses. We asked the Venezuelan-raised charmer what he’s looking for in a partner, how he feels about rose ceremonies and girls who can’t dance, and why champagne guzzlers might want to put down that glass. Channel Guide Magazine: […]

7 Questions with Juan Pablo Galavis of The Bachelor

January 5, 2013 Lori Acken Comments Off

What did having his heart broken on The Bachelorette teach The Bachelor’s Juan Pablo Galavis about handling his own rose ceremonies? “Nothing!” he laughs. “I HATE rose ceremonies. I hate hurting people and I knew that if I took this opportunity, rose ceremonies were going to be the hardest thing for me to do.” The salsa-loving Galavis says that dance skills are a bonus for the woman who will earn that coveted final flower, but “I’m looking for someone who is both classy and honest. Most importantly, she has to love my daughter!” We didn’t make “Will you be our […]

Ashley cast-off (and Jennifer Love Hewitt crush) Ben “Silent J” Flajnik is the next Bachelor

September 7, 2011 Lori Acken Comments Off

By Lori Acken Follow @ChannelGuide Ok, I admit it. I was, at best, a sporadic viewer of Ashley Hebert’s Bachelorette season. For the same reason that I was really fine with whatsisname down there in Austin — the one who jilted Ashley and his chosen Emily — going right back to being the most eye-roll-inducing Bachelor this side a’ Jake. Some people are so flaky that you don’t much care if they find true love or momentary love or whatever … or don’t care to be a part of it, at any rate. Perhaps sensing this, ABC has plucked Ben […]

Will you give a rose to the “Bachelor” video game?

March 5, 2010 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

By Jeff Pfeiffer It might not be the most unlikely TV show-to-video game adaptation I’ve seen (that distinction probably still falls to the Atari 2600 version of M*A*S*H), but it’s up there. This July, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is releasing a game based on ABC’s The Bachelor for Wii and Nintendo DS. Just like on the show, you vie for the affections of one of the hot Bachelors or Bachelorettes (five of the real-life Bachelors and Bachelorettes from the series will be featured in the game, including the recently married Jason Mesnick, who ends up looking a little like Barack […]

The Bachelor’s Jason Mesnick will marry Molly in March on ABC

January 28, 2010 Lori Acken Comments Off

By Lori Acken Move over, Trista and Ryan. It looks like number 13 is lucky after all. A year after he scandalized Bachelor and Bachelorette fans by dumping his Final Rose, Melissa Rycroft, for first runner-up Molly Melaney on live TV, Bachelor No. 13 Jason Mesnick will wed Melaney in a two-hour television special on ABC March 8. The series’ first Bachelorette, Trista Rehn (coincidentally the first runner-up for the affections of Bachelor No.1 Alex Michel) married her last man standing, Ryan Sutter, on Dec. 6, 2003, in a lavish ceremony broadcast a few days later on ABC to the delight of 17 million […]

And the new Bachelor is … snzzzzzzzz …

October 14, 2009 Lori Acken Comments Off

By Lori Acken Well, huh. Apparently the mother lode of excitement that was the recent Bachelorette — what with its bragging girlfriend-haver Wes, toe-lovin’ Tanner, controversial winner Ed, and a host of relentlessly returning cast-offs — was just a little too much for ABC. It’s the only reason I can think of to explain why — after taunting us Bachelor faithful with potential promises of Romeo-in-blue-jeans Reid or Ken-Doll-come-true Kiptyn as Season 14’s one for the roses — they up and settled for snoozy, milquetoast, tattletale Jake. Jake. C’mon now, Alphabet — and sorry Jake’s mom — but surely you know this […]
