Lauderdale, Paris, Tuscany and Peru
                                               
Dashing racecar driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. returns to try and finally win at love. Five years ago, Arie fell madly in love with fan favorite Bachelorette Emily Maynard (now Emily Maynard Johnson) and was ready to propose when she broke his heart. That was the last time Arie was really in love, but now he begins his own pursuit of his soul mate, as 29 beautiful, accomplished women join him on the highly anticipated 22nd season premiere of “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, JAN. 1 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.
In “Episode 2201,” Arie meets with one of Bachelor Nation’s favorite married couples, Sean and Catherine Lowe and their son, Samuel, before his journey begins. The two men have been friends since they competed for Emily’s heart on season eight of “The Bachelorette.” Sean offers Arie tips on how to date 29 women at one time, while Catherine decides to help prepare him for fatherhood and has him change a diaper. Little Samuel reminds Arie how much he wants the life that Sean and Catherine have. Now armed with advice and encouragement, Arie is ready for the tumultuous night ahead.
All the women are eager to make a lasting first impression. A beautiful blonde wearing a mask proclaims that Arie is not the only “kissing bandit.” Another woman roars up on a miniature Formula One racecar, leaving a lot of jealous ladies in her wake. One sassy female gives Arie compliments in Dutch, his second language, and another sultry stunner whispers sweet nothings in his ear. Arie handles the pressure like a pro. The arrivals are almost stolen by a charming woman, who arrives in a cherry red ’65 convertible Mustang.
Once Arie enters the mansion, the competition is on! He is swept away by a very assertive and mysterious bachelorette. She lands the first one-on-one conversation with the debonair Bachelor and a very romantic kiss. There is already discord and envy running among the women as they try and steal time with the man they hope will be their fiancé.
When the “first impression” rose arrives, the bachelorettes’ anxiety level rises.  A hopeful TV host believes that her future with the Bachelor is destiny. Another gorgeous, thoughtful woman makes Arie dig deep about why he hasn’t found true love since Emily. And for some, actions speak louder than words. A feisty lady uses a ukulele to serenade Arie, and yet another challenges him to race riding miniature racecars.
Arie finally decides who to honor with the all-important “first impression” rose. But how will his choice sit with the other women? A nerve-wracking rose ceremony ends the journey for eight lovely ladies, but for the 21 remaining bachelorettes the road ahead will be filled with passionate highs and heartwrenching lows. Arie’s journey has finally begun!
A list of the bachelorettes will be released shortly.
Romantic and adventurous dates will reach new heights this season, testing the ladies’ perseverance in pursuing their romantic objective; along with fun, exciting and exotic dates that will elicit real and raw passions.
Two back-to-back one-on-one dates kick off the season. Arie treats the first woman like a princess, complete with designer dresses from fashion icon Rachel Zoe. After that romantic evening, Arie whisks another lucky bachelorette away to his hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona, where she gets a glimpse of his everyday life and even meets his parents. The unforgettable evening ends with  a private performance by singer-songwriter and musical artist Connor Duermit.
Fifteen women clash in a “Bachelor” demolition derby with special commentary by Chris Harrison and Arie’s friend, racecar driver Robby Gordon. Chaos ensues as eight bachelorettes face off in a G.L.O.B. (Gorgeous Ladies of the Bachelor) wrestling match. Legends from GLOW – Ursula Hayden and Angela Altishin – train the women for the matches. And Arie takes on a surprise guest, Kenny “Pretty Boy Pit Bull” King from Rachel’s season, but who will emerge victorious? Arie takes romance to new heights as he and a thrilled bachelorette go parasailing on Lake Tahoe and then enjoy dancing and kissing the night way to a performance by hot country music band Lanco.  The remaining women travel to beautiful Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, for a deluxe one-on-one date on a 100-foot yacht, dinner at an antique car museum and a private concert by Tenille Arts. An adventurous airboat trip through the Florida swamps not only uncovers alligators, but a delicacy: frog legs!          
If the bachelorettes’ hearts could beat any faster, imagine being in Paris, one of the world’s most romantic cities, while creating beautiful memories with Arie. Whether on a speedboat touring the city on the Seine River, enjoying a wonderful picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens, performing at the famed Moulin Rouge, dining at Maxim’s or kissing atop the iconic Eiffel Tower, it is an emotional part of Arie’s and the women’s journey. The next stop is magnificent Tuscany, Italy, showcasing its unique culture, cuisine and breathtaking countryside views.
The hometown dates are filled with emotional revelations, but in a 180-degree turn, the final three bachelorettes travel to spectacular Ica, Peru, for the unpredictable overnight dates where the relationships have a chance to flourish. But will more surprises await the unsuspecting Bachelor before he travels to Cusco, Peru, to hopefully choose a wife? Will Arie open his heart and find the woman of his dreams who will love him back?

Arie lures away Becca K. to a truly Cinderella date. Once ensconced in their Malibu mansion, Arie introduces his date to a surprise guest: Rachel Zoe, fashion designer to the stars.

But will he give her the biggest gift of all – a rose at the end of the evening?
Krystal also captures a special one-on-one date with Arie, jumping on a private plane to his hometown of Scottsdale. Not only does she get a taste of what life would be like if she were to get the final rose, but she also gets to meet Arie’s father, the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, his mother and younger brother. Krystal is envious of the close-knit family Arie enjoys as hers is so different. At dinner that evening at the historic Bradbury building she recounts a heartbreaking story about her brother that brings her to tears.  Afterwards, as the couple slow dance to a performance by soulful singer Connor Duermit, she wonders if her dark family situation will scare Arie away.
The next day, it’s a rowdy, rollicking, no-holds-barred demolition derby with 15 of the bachelorettes. The women learn that they must bang their cars into one another until only one is left with a working vehicle and emerges victorious. One woman is traumatized by her past experience with bumper cars, but most of the women embrace the opportunity to unleash some healthy aggression. The intense competition continues at the after party for Arie’s time and attention.

Ursula “Babe the Farmer’s Daughter” Hayden and Angelina “Little Egypt” Altishin, two legends from   the women’s wrestling federation GLOW, teach eight women the killer moves and over-the-top theatricality they will need to succeed. However, a few of the bachelorettes are upset by the aggressive nature of Ursula and Angelina’s wrestling personas. Each of the women are assigned their own wrestling personalities, using wildly imaginative costumes and makeup. Arie starts the show facing off against Kenny King, but will he emerge victorious? Then it’s the bachelorettes’ turn to challenge one another in the Gorgeous Ladies of the Bachelor (GLOB) tournament. The excited stadium crowd witnesses one woman stake her claim to the GLOB World Champion belt. At the after party, some ladies make strides in their connections with Arie, while others simply fall flat.
Lauren S. and Arie take flight in a private jet to a dream vacation spot for wine lovers – Napa Valley. They enjoy a secluded picnic, but it is hard for Lauren S. to overcome her nerves. At dinner the couple is entertained by the BellaRosa String Quartet, but will the bachelorette be able to bond with Arie or not?
Seven other women join Arie and his adorable dog, Bastian, on a group date. “The Dynamo Dogs,” along with their trainer Gayle Mirabella, meet them in a Los Angeles park where Gayle reveals that the bachelorettes will perform with her furry troupe in the hit show, “Arie’s Amazing Acrodogs.” Chris Harrison and talented actor Fred Willard (“Modern Family,” “Best in Show”) offer their color commentary on a “pup-roarious” reenactment of Arie’s journey to find love. The after party provides some romantic missteps when one lady looking to get up close and personal with the “kissing bandit” stumbles on another woman who actually has her dream come true.
And the sparks continue to fly at the cocktail party as Arie and one woman face off sending a shockwave through the group. Fifteen women receive roses and travel to South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, for more romantic adventures.

A dozen ladies hike into the snowy wilderness on a survival-themed group date where they get a crash course in roughing it in the woods from professional survivalists. Arie invites Bekah M. on a romantic horseback ride through the picturesque mountainside of Lake Tahoe. However, he is about to learn a closely guarded secret about Bekah that might put an end to the couple’s possible happy ending.

The two finish a giddy night filled with excitement dancing to the country music of LANCO.

Twelve ladies will be put to the test as they hike into the woods with survivalists Mykel Hawke and Ruth England-Hawke, who genuinely test their survival skills with some very unpleasant food and drink. The bachelorettes are attempting to track down a hot tub oasis in the middle of nowhere. The competition gets fierce when Krystal ramps up the drama when she sees Arie share his affection with other women. At the after party, Krystal is still on the rampage, confronting two ladies whom she feels “bullied” her earlier and planning her revenge.

The vivacious Bekah M. joins Arie for what should be a special day as they nestle in each other’s arms in a secluded hot tub in the woods. However, at a romantic dinner Bekah M. shares a stunning revelation about herself. Will Arie be able to look past this admission to continue their budding relationship or is this the end of the road for the lovebirds?
