The Bachelor

Two lucky women are chosen as the most compatible with Charlie and win the first individual dates. But the ladies soon find out that this type of one-on-one date carries much higher stakes: Charlie will have the option of offering a rose during the outing, but if he decides not to give the woman a rose, the lady will have to leave immediately. She doesn't even get to return to the house. On Charlie's individual dates, one woman gets treated to dinner with Charlie at the Savannah Steakhouse, and the other lady takes a romantic water taxi ride with Charlie to the Brooklyn Brewery. When one of the women believes Charlie prefers blondes, she takes drastic measures by bleaching her dark hair blonde in an effort to make a lasting impression on him. Then, in the largest group date ever, Charlie spends time with 10 beautiful bikini-clad women all competing to win his heart during a steamy indoor pool party.Tension mounts in the house after the difficult first rose ceremony, and hotly contested rivalries quickly form. One woman is singled out as an instigator in the house drama, while another is confronted for not spending enough time with the others. After another exciting free-for-all discussion before the rose ceremony, Charlie narrows the field from 12 to 8 potential mates.
