Bachelor BRAD WOMACK — considered by many to be "the most hated Bachelor" in the series' history for rejecting all of the women he met during his initial journey as the Bachelor — returns for another chance at love. Brad has spent the last three years undergoing intensive therapy, which took him on a painful journey of self-discovery, leading to personal revelations about his commitment issues. Now he is ready to make a genuine commitment to a relationship, as he chooses from among 30 bachelorettes. But will the bachelorettes, knowing Brad's history, question his intentions, or will they be open to the possibility of falling in love? In the 15th season premiere, Brad, 37, returns to the Malibu mansion to begin his journey, but is caught completely off guard when host CHRIS HARRISON escorts in two surprise guests: DeANNA PAPPAS and JENNI CROFT! To add to his anxiety about returning as the Bachelor, Brad must now face the final two women he scorned three years ago.

As the 20 remaining bachelorettes move into their luxurious Malibu mansion, the fairy tale begins, and two lucky women will get fabulous one-on-one dates! In one, Brad escorts a bachelorette on a fantasy date which culminates at the Hollywood Bowl, where the couple will be serenaded by the chartbusting band Train. The other one-on-one date finds Brad and a stunning woman on an incredibly romantic date to a private carnival. On a group date with 15 women, Brad will have the chance to see another side of their personalities as they shoot public service announcements (PSAs) for the American Red Cross — but it turns into a face-off between some of the ladies. And, unfortunately, some of the bachelorettes will not have a date at all before the next rose ceremony, encouraging them to aggressively steal any time they can with Brad. Meanwhile, Brad and one lucky woman share the season's first kiss.

Tensions are already mounting among the 17 remaining bachelorettes and resentment runs high when it's revealed there'll be two special one-on-one dates — each with a rose at stake — and a group date. And, once again, some women will not get a date at all. Ashley S. gets to duet with Brad at the famed Capitol Records studio when a surprise visit by superstar recording artist Seal makes this a once-in-a-lifetime date. Then Brad gets down and dirty with 12 very competitive bachelorettes as they shoot their own action adventure movie, with each battling to become his leading lady. Emily, the sweet, single mom, is chosen for the week's final individual date, but will she be able to reveal her tragic past to Brad? An emotional Bachelor makes some personal inroads with the help of his therapist, letting him be more vulnerable with the women. However, one mysterious bachelorette makes a stunning departure that throws Brad for a loop and leaves the women in shock.

A group of the ladies have one of the most revealing dates of the season as they join Brad as guests on an emotional radio show where secrets are uncovered about the women's love lives.

I refuse to pay to watch my favorite show when it's a FREE local Network. This is absolutely ridiculous, how can you do this, take a free thing and charge out the yingyang for it. hope you fall short of making a killing for something that most can not afford. only giving a 1 star because you can not post without it.

too much back biting on the part of the contestants. kiss them and leave them. Who wants someone who just went to bed with someone else. every girl looks naked most of the time. I think it was a big deal to have a verging on the show. But I was saddened to see him fall off his pedestal for tv.

Here's a quick synopsis of Nick. This girl's awesome, it's so easy to do things with her my family loves her, she has so many great qualities, she's just what i need! And this other girl is really hard to deal with, and has a lot of issues, super insecure, lives in a completely different country, every time we hang out I'm arguing and never have true fun, it's basically conflict city and women I've chosen like her in the past has NEVER worked out and they even at least lived in the same country. I'm going to choose the one that has the most issues because the one I get along with, that my parents love, that I just have fun with all the time, that I could be myself, someone who'd have my back, be a strong support, can just relax and be a great wife, mom etc, I'm going to tell her all the wonderful things about her and then let her go because she just makes too much sense and who wants to do something that makes sense? Yup. That's basically the whole show. Waste. of. time. show. Never. Again. 😐
