List of The Bachelor (American TV series) episodes

The twenty-sixth season of The Bachelor premiered on January 3, 2022 with Jesse Palmer as host. This season featured 28-year-old Clayton Echard, a medical sales representative from Eureka, Missouri.[3][4]

Echard finished in eighth place on the eighteenth season of The Bachelorette featuring Michelle Young.

The season concluded on March 15, 2022, with Echard's final choice, 28-year-old wedding videographer Susie Evans, rejecting him. However, during the live After the Final Rose special, it was revealed that they had since gotten back together, and they moved in together in Virginia Beach, Virginia in April 2022.[5]

Production

Casting and contestants

In August 2021, it was reported that men from The Bachelorette who had been considered for the lead role were runner-up Tyler Cameron and Mike Johnson, both from Hannah Brown's season; Ben Smith from Clare Crawley's season; Greg Grippo, Andrew Spencer and Michael Allio, both from Katie Thurston's season.[6][7][8][9]

On September 15, 2021, media outlets reported that Clayton Echard was named the Bachelor. The next day, the production crew was reported in his hometown of Eureka, Missouri filming footage for this upcoming season, just one week after the filming of The Bachelorette season 18 had concluded. Echard was then officially announced as The Bachelor on November 30, 2021.[10][11][12]

On September 28, 2021, it was announced that season five bachelor Jesse Palmer would host the season, replacing former host Chris Harrison. Harrison departed the franchise in June following backlash after his support for Rachael Kirkconnell, the winner of the previous season, whose photos resurfaced of her attending an Antebellum South-themed party. Palmer then further confirmed the news on Instagram in October 2021.[13][14][15]

Notable contestants include Hurricane Sandy survivor Daria Rose; Denver Broncos cheerleader Gabby Windey, who is the ex-girlfriend of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise contestant Dean Unglert; Olympic sprinter Marlena Wesh, who represented Haiti at the 2012 Summer Olympics; Miss Virginia USA 2020 and Miss USA 2020 competitor Susie Evans; Miss South Carolina Teen 2015 and top 10 finalists at Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2016 Sarah Hamrick; Miss Teen America 2013 Lindsay Dobbs; and Oppenheim Group realtor Kate Gallivan, who appeared in the series Selling Sunset.[16][17][18][19][20]

Filming and development

The season reverted to its standard production format and initial filming location in Agoura Hills, California.[21] This was the first season that the crew filmed at the Villa de la Vina mansion, also known as The Bachelor Mansion, since season 24. The previous season of this show and seasons 16 and 17 of The Bachelorette were filmed in a bio-secure bubble zone, while season 18 of The Bachelorette took place mostly in the United States with limited travel, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Filming began on September 29, 2021 on its traditional production schedule with interstate and international travel throughout the season.[1] Filming was reported in Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium; in October 2021 in Iceland in November 2021; at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík; and at Ingólfsskáli Viking Restaurant in Ölfus. Additionally, the season includes visits to the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Croatia and Austria.[22][12][23]

Contestants

33 potential contestants were revealed on September 25, 2021 on the official Bachelor Facebook page.[24]

The final cast of 31 women was announced on December 15, 2021.[25]

However, one of the contestants, Salley Carson, a 26-year-old spine-surgery robot operator from Greenville, South Carolina, made the decision to drop out of the show just hours before the limo arrived. As a result, only 30 women participated in the show.[17]

Controversy

Shanae Ankney came under fire for alleged ableist comments to Elizabeth Corrigan, who has ADHD. When Corrigan claimed she could not process things as well due to her condition, Ankney mocked her and even accused her of staging her condition. Corrigan responded by posting a TikTok video about mental health after the airing of the episode.[69] During the airing of the season, Echard released a public apology to Corrigan, stating that he would have sent Ankney home immediately had he known about her comments.[70] However, contestants Lyndsey Windham and Sierra Jackson disputed Echard's claims stating that he knew Ankney mocked Corrigan and kept Ankney anyway.[71]

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Evans was originally eliminated in Week 9, but was later brought back to the competition in Week 10 after Echard's request for another chance. She rejected him at the final rose ceremony, but it was revealed on After the Final Rose that they had since gotten back together.
  2. ↑ Eliza Isichei is originally from Florida but was residing in Berlin, Germany at the time of casting and filming.
  3. ↑ Teddi received the rose on the group date, but the segment where Clayton gave the rose to her was unaired.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 Week 5 and Week 6 were aired during the 2022 Winter Olympics.
