The Bachelorette (or sometimes The Bachelorette Australia) is an Australian adaptation of the U.S. series of the same name. The series is a spin-off of The Bachelor.[2] The series premiered on 23 September 2015.[1]
It was revealed in October 2015 that The Bachelorette had been renewed for a second season, which would air in 2016.[3] In addition, it was announced in November 2015 that unlike season one which was produced by Shine Australia, season two would be produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production.[4]
Plot
The series revolves around a single bachelorette (deemed eligible) and a pool of romantic interests, which could include a potential husband. The conflicts in the series, both internal and external, stem from the elimination-style format of the show. Early in the season, the bachelorette goes on large group dates with the men, with the majority of men eliminated. As the season progresses, men are also eliminated on one-on-one dates and on elimination two-on-one dates. The process culminates with hometown visits to the families of the final few men, overnight dates, should they choose to accept, at exotic locations with the final three men, and interaction with the bachelorette's family with the final two men.
