The Bachelor - The Greatest Seasons – Ever - Discussion

albean99 wrote:Sharleen got it exactly right. I really thought Jojo was a very good lead but she didn’t pick the final guys very well, other than Jordan.
It will be fun to see the OG seasons next week but am most looking forward to Trista’s season. Not a fan of Alex from what little I’ve seen. I didn’t start watching until the 3rd Bachelor.

Bachelor Greatest Ever: Brad Womack (7/20)

ROCKED BACHELOR NATION!  
REVISIT HIS STUNNING JOURNEYS TO FIND LOVE
ON ‘THE BACHELOR: THE GREATEST SEASONS – EVER!,’
MONDAY, JULY 20

Chris Harrison Virtually Visits With Brad, Jenni, DeAnna, Emily, Ashley, Michelle and Chantal

Brad Shares a Huge Surprise in a Rare Interview

“Brad Womack” – There is only one man who has searched for love as the Bachelor twice: Brad Womack. The charming Texas bar owner journeyed through two jaw-dropping seasons as he met and romanced some of the most impressive women ever to be introduced to Bachelor Nation. Brad’s first season ended in one of the most shocking moments in Bachelor history as he sent both Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas home, and his second began with “the slap heard ‘round the world.” Through it all, women like Emily, Ashley, Michelle and Chantal shared their powerful stories. How did they impact Brad’s decisions and how did he affect their lives and his? Find out on “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!,” MONDAY, JULY 20 (8:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.

Brad’s first season ended with him being enamored with two women: Jenni, a free spirit with an infectious laugh, and DeAnna, a southern charmer whose strength and confidence also captured Brad’s heart. Which one would he choose? First, Brad said goodbye to Jenni; and then in a startling, totally unpredictable moment, Brad also sent DeAnna home! Chris Harrison will check in with Jenni and DeAnna (now DeAnna Pappas Stagliano) in their homes about that gut-wrenching day and what their lives are like now. Then, Brad will reveal what he was thinking about in making his final decision.

Brad decided to take time to reflect and work through his fear of commitment. But if he was given a second chance, would he truly be open to love? Not all of the women in Brad’s second season were happy to see him. In an OMG moment, Chantal O’Brien delivered a message and the slap heard throughout Bachelor Nation.

Gradually, Brad earned the women’s trust. In one of the most romantic dates in Bachelor history, Ashley Hebert was able to break down Brad’s walls and he opened up for the first time. Although Brad didn’t choose Ashley, she became one of the outstanding Bachelorettes and had her own chance to meet the love of her life: JP. The couple will join Chris to discuss the important role Ashley (now Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum) played in Brad’s search for his soul mate, and how Ashley and JP’s love story and their family have evolved and grown.

Michelle Money was another woman who made her mark that season. Brash and brutally honest, she became one the most outrageous fan favorites in the history of the show. Her sexy antics during a big swimsuit photo shoot group date were renowned, but also paved the way to her completely unexpected exit. Michelle and her daughter, Brielle, will chat with Chris from their home to update everyone on their lives now.

Brad’s final two women this time were Chantal and Emily Maynard, the southern belle and single mom who survived her own tragic journey when six years earlier her fiancé died in a plane crash just before she discovered they were going to have a child. She was ready to move on from her past tragedy, but would she feel comfortable introducing Brad to her 6-year-old daughter? Who would Brad choose this time? Or would he walk away alone again?

Brad, Chantal and Emily (now Emily Maynard Johnson) will each talk to Chris about that final proposal day. Emily will share her thoughts about how her life has changed since she was on “The Bachelor” and became “The Bachelorette.” One woman reveals – for the first time – that she was asked to be the Bachelorette but turned it down! And Brad has one final bombshell to drop on Bachelor Nation! Has he finally found love?

The fifth episode is a two-for-one deal with the inaugural Bachelor and Bachelorette. Both of those seasons were seven episodes long, so there’s probably not enough content for each to have its own week. Plus, this allows them to feature more than 10 seasons.

“Alex Michel and Trista Sutter” – Watch as the inaugural seasons of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” kicked off nearly two decades of romantic exhilaration and drama, and showcased the two amazing journeys of Alex Michel and Trista Sutter to find love. Relive the first rose ceremony, the first kiss, the first “steal,” the first limo arrival, the first hot tub, the first helicopter and the first proposal, as Chris Harrison takes viewers back to some of the most memorable moments in franchise history on “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!,” MONDAY, JULY 6 (8:00-11:00 p.m., EDT) on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.

The first Bachelor, Alex Michel, a successful businessman educated at Harvard and Stanford Business School with leading-man good looks, met an impressive group of bachelorettes, including LaNease, who received the first kiss in Bachelor history; and Rhonda, whose anxiety attack after not receiving a rose inspired Chris’ iconic “most dramatic rose ceremony” line. Chris checks in with both women, who will share their experiences during this landmark first season.
Alex had some tough decisions to make once he narrowed the field to his final three women. Shannon wouldn’t compromise her feelings, which ended with her rejection of the very first invitation to spend the night in the fantasy suite. However, she paved the way for future women to speak their minds. Shannon will reveal how she felt about her emotional exit and what she has been up to lately.
Trista, the pediatric physical therapist and professional basketball team dancer from Miami, and Amanda, an event planner, couldn’t have been more different.
Trista took her time opening up to Alex but finally let her walls down. Amanda was very open about her tragic past and what she saw as their future together. Alex and Amanda decided to explore a committed relationship, but what happened after the end of the show?
In a rare appearance, Amanda will join Chris from her home to fill Bachelor Nation in on the juicy details of what happened with her and Alex and if they are still in touch. Will Alex make his first-ever appearance since his ground-breaking season?

Trista may have gotten her heart broken pursuing Alex’s final rose, but she became America’s sweetheart and the first Bachelorette. What would this romantic journey be like with a woman handing out the roses?
Bob made Trista laugh, but never got any further than being a friend. Greg, a musician, impressed the Bachelorette by writing a song for her, but was undone by his disheveled New York apartment. Russell came on a little too strong.
That left Trista torn between her two final men: Charlie, who gave her thrills and chills, and Ryan, the handsome firefighter from Colorado whose gentle nature and dry wit were reflected in the poems he wrote for her. It all led to Ryan’s beautiful, moving proposal – the first in Bachelor franchise history – and the couple’s buzz-worthy televised wedding. First, Chris will catch up with Charlie, who reveals if he would have proposed to Trista if he had had the chance. Then, Trista, will update her epic love story from the couple’s Colorado home along with their two children, Maxwell and Blakesley. And a surprise guest has a shock for Trista!

Chris’ timely Bachelor in Quarantine guest this week is Cassie Randolph. What was behind her surprising recent breakup with Colton Underwood?
Then Bachelor Nation favorites Demi and Nicole will offer their fashion expertise as they look back at some of the biggest fashion faux pas in Bachelor history.

Chantal O'Brien
One of the last times we saw gorgeous Chantal O'Brien, she was modeling in Sport Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition. Where is she now? Well, she's now Chantal Razore after getting hitched in May 2012. She never announced or confirmed it, but her wedding registry did surface on various media sites. And speaking of not making announcements, Chantal and husband Jeff kept their recent pregnancy under wraps, too. And again, her registry spilled the beans for her, suggesting she delivered her first child—possibly a boy, based on her Pinterest boards—sometime in July! Congrats, you two.

“Chantal’s engaged to a wealthy guy who gave her a four-carat engagement ring,” a friend of Chantal’s tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
