Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure

*AÂ New York TimesÂ Bestseller*

The first definitive, unauthorized, behind-the-scenes cultural history of the Bachelor franchise, Americaâ€™s favorite guilty pleasure.

For sixteen years and thirty-six seasons, the Bachelor franchise has been a mainstay in American TV viewersâ€™ lives. Since it premiered in 2002, the showâ€™s popularity and relevance have only grownâ€”more than eight million viewers tuned in to see the conclusion of the most recent season ofÂ The Bachelor.

Los Angeles TimesÂ journalist Amy Kaufman is a proud member of Bachelor Nation and has a long history with the franchiseâ€”ABC even banned her from attending show events after her coverage of the program got a little too real for its liking. She has interviewed dozens of producers, contestants, and celebrity fans to give readers never-before-told details of the showâ€™s inner workings: what itâ€™s like to be trapped in the mansion â€œbubbleâ€; dark, juicy tales of producer manipulation; and revelations about the alcohol-fueled debauchery that occurs long before the Fantasy Suite.Â

Kaufman also explores what our fascination means, culturally: what the show says about the way we view so-called ideal suitors; our subconscious yearning for fairy-tale romance; and how this enduring television show has shaped societyâ€™s feelings about love, marriage, and feminism by appealing to a marriage plot thatâ€™s as old as the best of Jane Austen.
