The Bachelor

As the remaining 15 bachelorettes settle into a mansion in the Hollywood Hills, the fairy tale begins. Baldwin and his ladies cruise the famous Sunset Strip for an evening full of adventure and glamour, and the women race for Baldwin's heart in a triathlon. Then one lucky bachelorette is singled out to spend a romantic evening aboard the Bachelor's private yacht. On his first group date, Baldwin and seven striking ladies take the Sunset Strip by storm with an evening of cocktails and bull riding that ends in the hot tub. Irritated bachelorette Bevin can't handle the competition and seethes over perceived slights. Seven other women strip down to bikinis and sexy shorts to show Iron Man Baldwin their athletic side, as they passionately compete in a mini-triathlon, including swimming, biking and running events in Santa Monica. However, not all of the ladies are ready to rumble. Susan and Erin exercise their diva muscle and refuse to get their hair wet. The winner scores a romantic stroll on the beach with Baldwin, as the losers can only look on with envy. Then Stephanie T. heads out for the only one-on-one date with Baldwin--a hot and steamy evening cruise on Baldwin's luxurious yacht. The other jealous women are left to trash her back at the house, as they await her return. In the mansion, during a surprising and unforgettable cocktail party, the girls go from cheers to tears. At the rose ceremony, Baldwin must eliminate three of the 15 women, leaving 12 to compete for his affections.
