List of episodes

The 16th season of ABC reality television series The Bachelor premiered on January 2, 2012. This show features a previous contestant from The Bachelorette, a winemaker and owner of Envolve wines, from Sonoma, California, 28-year-old Ben Flajnik, who finished runner-up in the seventh season of the show. This season returns with 25 women featured in the competition, excluding a senior citizen.[a][1]

The season concluded on March 12, 2012 in which Courtney Robertson was named the winner and became Flajnik's fiancée. The couple later called off their engagement on October 26, 2012.

Filming and development

Casting and contestants

During the season finale of Bachelor Pad, Flajnik was ultimately announced as the next Bachelor.[2]

Production

Unlike previous seasons, traditionally, the contestants would not choose to stay the Bachelor Mansion in Agoura Hills, California for long. For the rest of the season, the contestants traveled to Flajnik's hometown of Sonoma, San Francisco in California; Park City, Utah; Vieques, Puerto Rico; Panama City, Panama; Belize and Switzerland. Appearances for this season included recording artist Matt Nathanson and country singer Clay Walker.[3]
