Chris Harrison: The heart of ‘The Bachelor’ franchise!
Created by Mike Fleiss, the dating reality show ‘The Bachelor’ has often been considered to be the king of guilty pleasure television. Hosted by Chris Harrison, the show takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride as a man tries to find true love on national television. Each season witnesses an eligible bachelor searching for his “soulmate” amongst a group of female contestants through an elimination method. The series has been on for 18 years now and is popular not just with regular audiences but also with celebrities.
Every season is packed with an abundant load of drama and romance and has the viewers guessing who the final winner will be. The trademark rose ceremony, in which each week the bachelor gives roses to only those women he thinks he has potential chemistry with, takes the tension up to a whole new level. The franchise never shies away from catfights, public display of affection, controversies, and bad break-ups and entertains the audiences through and through.
With each season, the show has managed to maintain a stellar viewership and has never failed in becoming the talk of the town. We can safely say that the show has changed the way people look at reality television in the US.

Many viewers are of the opinion that he has brought a lot to the table for each show in ‘The Bachelor’ franchise and that it is impossible to think about the show without being reminded of him.

Season 25 of ‘The Bachelor’ has commenced on ABC on January 4th, 2021 with its first Black bachelor Matt James leading the way. The series has garnered a lot of attention for being probably the most culturally diverse season of the show so far and has fans very excited. ABC expressed in 2020 why it was time for them to have a man of colour as the new bachelor saying,
“We know we have a responsibility to make sure the love stories we’re seeing onscreen are representative of the world we live in, and we are proudly in service to our audience. This is just the beginning, and we will continue to take action with regard to diversity issues on this franchise. We feel so privileged to have Matt as our first Black bachelor and we cannot wait to embark on this journey with him”.
We are certainly looking forward to the drama and romance this season and are hoping that it meets all our expectations!
