68 :08x01 - The Bachelor: Paris (Week 1)

First aired: Jan/09/2006

Dr. Travis Stork, a handsome 33-year-old ER doctor, may not speak fluent French, but his approach to meeting the 25 beautiful women and attempting to discover if one them is the special person he has been searching for is strictly "ooo-la-la," as the most romantic city in the world plays host to "The Bachelor: Paris".

Travis, who practices at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, leaves his hospital surroundings and arrives in Paris in style, ready to meet the 25 ladies at his 14th-century chateau. He will take on the challenge of finding a woman to share his life against the spectacular backdrop that will include the Eiffel Tower, the breathtaking Champs Elysies and the historic Arc de Triomphe, as well as the picturesque French countryside. In a return to its original, popular roots, this season the series will highlight all the romance and fantasy of new relationships.

In the premiere episode, Travis pulls out all the stops to impress the women, who are ecstatic to meet the tall, hunky bachelor, and then - when they learn he is a doctor - their excitement is uncontainable. His bedside manner is spectacular, as he manages to put all 25 women at ease. The jealous and already competitive ladies quickly begin plotting and planning to get an early first rose they learn is up for grabs. And one woman - not too tactfully - tells Travis that she is "entering her reproductive phase." What kind of first impression will that make on him, and how will her first evening end? Then another woman - supremely confident - claims she will be the last lady standing, but will she?

The stakes have never been higher, as Travis must eliminate 13 of the 25 women the first night
-- it's "good-bye to Paris" for over half the ladies. And on his first night as the Bachelor, Travis goes toe-to-toe with a highly confrontational woman who goes totally ballistic that she is one of the first to leave.

During the season premiere, Travis will meet the following 25 women:

Allie G., 33, Doctor, Oncologist, who currently resides in Delray Beach, FL

Ali D., 26, NBA Dancer, who currently resides in Seattle, WA

April, 29, in Corporate Real Estate, who currently resides in Dallas, TX

Cole, 26, Sales Executive, who currently resides in Walnut Creek, CA

Cortney (cq), 28, Law Clerk, who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA

Elizabeth, 24, Social Worker, who currently resides in Windham, NH

Jaime, 29, Physician Recruiter, who currently resides in Big Rock, VA

Jehan, 29, Vitamin Sales Rep, who currently resides in Chicago, IL

Jennifer, 25, Model, who currently resides in Boston, MA

Kathy, 25, Graduate Student, who currently resides in Stockton, CA

Kristen, 25, Marketing Director, who currently resides in Bonita Springs, FL

Kyle, 25, Senior Copy Writer, who currently resides in Newport Beach, CA

Lisa, 24, IT Recruiter, who currently resides in Overland Park, KS

Liza, 23, Trade Clerk, who currently resides in Chicago, IL

Moana, 26, Distribution Manager, who currently resides in San Clemente, CA

Princess, 26, Substitute Teacher, who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA

Sara H., 24, Marketing Manager, who currently resides in Minneapolis, MN

Sarah B., 23, Student, who currently resides in Winnipeg, Canada

Sarah S., 26, Kindergarten Teacher, who currently resides in Nashville, TN

Shiloh, 29, Advertising Manager, who currently resides in Phoenix, AZ

Stephanie, 25, Public Relations Director, who currently resides in Walnut Creek, CA

Susan, 25, Financial Associate, who currently resides in Overland Park, KS

Tara, 23, in Retail Sales, who currently esides in San Diego, CA

Venus, 33, Physician, who currently resides in Huntington Beach, CA

Yvonne, 28, CFO of Marketing Firm, who currently resides in Miami, FL

The new Bachelor will get to know the 25 women in a series of fun, exciting and exotic dates in Paris that will elicit real and raw emotions. As in the past, women will continue to be eliminated each week, but if, at any point along the way, a woman should decide that she's no longer interested in the Bachelor, she can reject his invitation to continue dating. Some lucky women will meet his family, and he will visit their hometowns for a slice of their life in an effort to determine the woman with whom he is most compatible.

At the end of the journey, the Bachelor may quite possibly have found true love. But the big question is: After all of this, will he pop the question, and will she say yes?

And the nervous Bachelorettes get some much-needed emotional support when they are surprised by their mothers flying to Paris to help them prepare for their big day. The moms take their daughters shopping at Escada for gowns to wear at the final rose ceremony and to Chopard to assist the Bachelorettes in selecting the perfect engagement ring.

When the women meet his family members, Travis’ relatives are impressed by one, while the other raises questions in their minds. But Travis is resolved to make his own decision, though he struggles over this until the bitter end. Each woman has a chance to plan one last date with Travis before he makes his crucial choice, selecting the woman who has stolen his heart.



76 :09x01 - Week One (S9)

First aired: Oct/02/2006

In this premiere episode, 901, of the ninth edition of The Bachelor, the 25 bachelorettes are enchanted by the Princely castle, and their handsome host, Prince Borghese. Cardinale Taverna built the sprawling castle in the picturesque countryside of Italy in 1604. Among frescos and centuries-old oil paintings in the grand ballroom, the cocktail party is interrupted when two stunning Italian women crash the party and quickly plot to steal Lorenzos heart and attention. The jealous and already competitive American ladies step up their game to pull Lorenzo back into their fold, but the Italian beauties dont give up. The tug-of-war over Prince Borghese continues through the evening, and some of the women pull extraordinary stunts to win his affections. One woman theatrically sings an aria on the balcony overlooking the amazing fountain and outdoor sunken courtyard, while another tells the Prince that she is a tree-hugger and lures him into a wooded area to hug a tree with her.

The end of the evening is marked with a two firsts. Lorenzo presents a rose, plus a very special sparkling token to one woman who has captured his attention and who is now already assured of continuing on in the chase to make an enchanted match. The party continues through the night and the rose elimination ceremony takes place in the morning, which allows the Prince much more time to get to know each lady individually. The morning rose ceremony is another first for The Bachelor.

There's also an emotional breakdown, suffered by Erica. And back at Lorenzo's villa, two bachelorettes break into his bedroom.

First aired: Oct/16/2006

Nine bachelorettes remain, and Lorenzo takes six of them to a Tuscan castle for a sleepover pool party. And he spends a night at the opera on a one-on-one date. It's a Cinderella evening for Jami that begins in a Maserati, but it could end (figuratively speaking) in a pumpkin. Meanwhile, Sadie tells Lorenzo she's saving herself for marriage, and fireworks literally cap another bachelorette's date with him. At the rose ceremony, Lorenzo has six to bestow.



79 :09x04 - Week Four (S9)

First aired: Oct/23/2006

In a major surprise to the remaining six bachelorettes, Erica shakes things up when she returns to the house to determine which ladies will get individual dates with Lorenzo.

80 :09x05 - Week Five (S9)

First aired: Oct/30/2006

Lorenzo visits the hometowns of the four remaining bachelorettes. In Miami, Jennifer's father unsettles Lorenzo with his gun collection. In Portland, Ore., a friend of Lisa's scares him with a wedding dress. And in Venice, he and Agnese's parents simply don't speak the same language. But at least there's a pleasant beach interlude with Sadie in San Diego. At the rose ceremony, the field is reduced to three, all of whom will go on overnight dates with Lorenzo.



81 :09x06 - Week Six (S9)

First aired: Nov/13/2006

Its the ultimate whirlwind for the final three women Jennifer, Lisa and Sadie -- as Lorenzo travels across Europe to some of the most romantic and exciting locations in Sweden, Budapest and Sicily for their exotic dates. The three bachelorettes are falling hard for the handsome Prince, with one woman pouring her heart out to him, another pulling out all the stops to get to the Fantasy Suite and the final woman finding her lifelong morals severely tested. Its a wild, romantic ride with each of the ladies -- until Lorenzo has to make a heart-wrenching decision to eliminate one of them.
