List of The Bachelor (American TV series) episodes

The twenty-second season of The Bachelor premiered on January 1, 2018. This season features 36-year-old Arie Luyendyk Jr., a real estate agent and race car driver from Scottsdale, Arizona.[1][2]

Luyendyk was the runner-up on the eighth season of The Bachelorette featuring Emily Maynard. The season concluded on March 5, 2018 in which 27-year-old publicist Becca Kufrin was named the winner. During the finale, Luyendyk subsequently ended his engagement with Kufrin and admitted that he was still in love with runner-up Lauren Burnham. He proposed to Burnham in the After the Final Rose special. Arie and Lauren married one year later, and are currently living together in Phoenix, Arizona with their three children.

Production

On September 7, 2017, during Good Morning America, Luyendyk was announced as the next Bachelor over The Bachelorette season 13 runner-up Peter Kraus, who was the fan favorite choice for the role.

Notable cast includes Miss Massachusetts USA 2014 and Miss USA 2014 competitor Caroline Lunny, and Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Bibiana Julian.

Controversies

Bekah Martinez missing person's case

Bekah Martinez was reported missing by her mother during the filming of this season. Her mother tried to claim that Martinez informed her she was working on a marijuana farm instead of being on national television and filed the missing person's report on November 18, 2017. Authorities from Humboldt County Sheriff's Department tried to locate and reach her but their attempts were unsuccessful. That very same day, Martinez eventually went home and remained on the missing person's list. Her mother reported her missing, but ended up discovering that Martinez was indeed not missing.[52]

Minnesota Bachelor ban

In the aftermath of the season, Minnesota House of Representatives member Drew Christensen signed a document bill to ban Luyendyk to prevent travel from or to Minnesota, Becca Kufrin's home state. As stated on the document "the state of Minnesota hereby adopts a policy of zero tolerance of Arie Luyendyk, Jr. from season 22 of ‘The Bachelor.’ It is state policy that every person in the state has a right to live free from the presence of Arie Luyendyk, Jr. in the state."[53]

Notes

  1. Early in week 4, Maquel voluntarily left from the competition due to the death of her grandfather. She returned to the competition in the following episode.
  2. 2.0 2.1 Week 7 and Week 8 were aired during the 2018 Winter Olympics.
