List of episodes

The 23rd season of The Bachelor premiered on January 7, 2019. This season features 26-year-old Colton Underwood, a former professional football player and charity founder from Washington, Illinois.[1][2]

Underwood finished in fourth place on the fourteenth season of The Bachelorette featuring Becca Kufrin, and also appeared on the fifth season of Bachelor in Paradise. In the second part of the live finale concluded on March 12, 2019, Underwood named Cassie Randolph as the winner with no proposal, only accepting the final rose. Underwood and Randolph announced their breakup on May 29, 2020.[3]

Filming and development

Casting and contestants

On September 4, 2018, during Good Morning America, Underwood was announced as the next Bachelor over Blake Horstmann and Jason Tartick, who are castmates with Underwood in The Bachelorette season 14. Horstmann would go on to be a contestant in season six of Bachelor in Paradise.[4]

Three contestants were first introduced in The Ellen DeGeneres Show on September 20, 2018. On that show, Colton met Annie Reardon, Sydney Lotuaco, and Katie Morton in a game of Know or Go. Annie won the game and got to talk to Colton for longer than Sydney and Katie.[5][6][7] The rest of the contestants were later revealed on the official Facebook page by Chris Harrison on December 6, 2018.[8]

Caelynn Miller-Keyes, Hannah Brown and Hannah Godwin competed one against another in various beauty pageants. Miller-Keyes and Brown competed in Miss USA 2018, as Miss North Carolina USA and Miss Alabama USA, respectively; Miller-Keyes was placed as the first runner-up. Godwin had competed against Brown in Miss Alabama USA.
