List of episodes

The 24th season of The Bachelor premiered on January 6, 2020.[1] This season features 28-year-old Peter Weber, a Delta Air Lines pilot from Westlake Village, California.[2]

Weber finished in third place on the fifteenth season of The Bachelorette featuring Hannah Brown.

The season ended on March 10, 2020, and Hannah Ann Sluss was initially named the winner and became Weber's fiancée. However, during the live After the Final Rose special, it was revealed that Weber and Sluss had ended their engagement.[3] Although Weber and runner-up Madison Prewett admitted to still having feelings for each other, they ultimately decided not to pursue a relationship.[4] As of May 2, 2020, Weber is dating fifth-placed Kelley Flanagan.[5]

Filming and development

Casting and contestants

On September 17, 2019, during the reunion episode of season six of Bachelor in Paradise, Weber was announced as the next Bachelor by host Chris Harrison, over castmates Tyler Cameron and Mike Johnson.[6][7]

Prior to the start of filming, the initial list of contestants were announced on the show's social media pages, and it was revealed that beauty queens Alayah Benavidez, Hannah Ann Sluss, Kelsey Weier, Victoria Paul and Maurissa Gunn were contestants. Of those five, four competed in Miss USA division pageants: Weier competed in Miss USA 2017 as Miss Iowa USA, while Gunn competed in Miss Teen USA 2013 as Miss Montana Teen USA, and Benavidez and Paul competed together in Miss USA 2019 and were Miss Texas USA and Miss Louisiana USA, respectively, the latter who finished in the top 15. Benavidez was crowned Miss United States 2016.[8][9][10][11][12] The cast also includes Madison Prewett, the daughter of Auburn Tigers men's basketball assistant coach and director of operations Chad Prewett.[13]

Production

On September 25, 2019, it was reported that the season would film in Cleveland, Ohio and Costa Rica. Weber suffered a minor facial injury while filming in Costa Rica. In addition to those locations, the season also included visits to Chile, Peru, and Australia.[14][15][16]

Contestants

On September 17, 2019, 33 potential contestants were revealed on The Bachelor's social media pages.[17] The final cast of 30 women was revealed on December 16, 2019.[18]

Controversy

During week five, contestant Victoria Fuller won a group date challenge, where she was chosen to appear on the March digital cover of Cosmopolitan with Weber. Shortly after the episode that featured Fuller's win aired, Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Jessica Pels – who appeared in the episode and selected Fuller as the winner – published an online letter which stated that the magazine would not be running the cover with Fuller, due to Fuller's involvement with a clothing brand that featured a "White Lives Matter" tagline.[59]

In the letter, Pels stated that "unequivocally, the White Lives Matter movement does not reflect the values of the Cosmo brand," adding "we stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and any cause that fights to end injustices for people of color." Fuller had previously modeled for clothing brand WLM Apparel, which uses the tagline "White Lives Matter" to promote the conservation of the white marlin. The tagline has been described by nongovernmental organizations such as the Southern Poverty Law Center as "a racist response to the civil rights movement Black Lives Matter" and "a neo-Nazi group that is growing into a movement as more and more white supremacist groups take up its slogans and tactics."[60]

During week eight, Weber's ex-girlfriend, Merissa Pence, made an appearance to warn Peter about contestant Victoria Fuller's reputation in her hometown of Virginia Beach.[61] News outlets have also reported on Fuller being arrested for a DUI charge back in 2017 where she was sentenced to a year in jail. The sentence was suspended, and Fuller was given 24 months of probation.[62]
