The Bachelor

In the season premiere of The Bachelor, Sean Lowe, the successful Dallas businessman and entrepreneur who charmed fans while wooing Bachelorette Emily Maynard, meets 26 potential soulmates and gets another shot at love as the Bachelor.

The 19 remaining bachelorettes move into the mansion with hopes that they will end up as Sean's soulmate and future wife. But first our Bachelor has a few tricks up his sleeve, including a jolting adrenaline date and a hidden-camera prank.

An outing to a sun-splashed California beach is sexy fun in the sand until Chris Harrison tells the women to divide up for a game of beach volleyball. The winners will spend the evening with Sean, while the losers are left alone at the mansion.

New challenges, tears and accusations take center stage for the 13 remaining bachelorettes. Eight women join in a topsy-turvy roller that sends one of them to the hospital, while individual dates include rock climbing and a Rodeo Drive shopping excursion.

Sean whisks the remaining 11 bachelorettes away to picturesque Whitefish, Montana, to explore his romantic connections. Eight women discover canoes, hay, wood-chopping and goats and are once again split into two teams -- for a Montana relay race.

Sean and the nine remaining bachelorettes travel to Alberta, Canada. Activities include a joy ride on a glacier, rappelling down a 400-foot cliff and a polar bear plunge into the pristine waters of Lake Louise that has one bachelorette coming up blue.

As hometown dates loom, a meltdown occurs in St. Croix. From sunrise in the east to sunset in the west, each woman gets some quality time with Sean. In the end, four lucky women will be chosen to take Sean to meet their families.

After a whirlwind trip with stops in Los Angeles, Montana, Canada and St. Croix, Sean is back in the US, and the stakes are high as he crisscrosses the country on an exciting, emotionally charged journey to visit the final four women's hometowns.

Sean sits down to discuss the most recent woman who left brokenhearted after the hometown dates. He also shares his thoughts about the most unforgettable women that he sent home in tears, including the season's most controversial bachelorette, Tierra.

Romantic adventures await Sean and the final three as they travel to Si Kao, Thailand. From an authentic Thai market to a secluded beach surrounded by a rain forest, the dates are filled with excitement as Sean continues to consider each potential mate.

Sean faces the women he rejected, including Tierra, the most controversial one of the group. Also included is a sneak peek at the season finale and the final two bachelorettes.

In the dramatic season finale, Sean prepares to make one of the most difficult choices of his life. His search for love is now narrowed down to two very different women, and he is falling in love with both of them.

With his search for his soulmate over, emotions run high as Sean talks to Chris Harrison about his ultimate choice, taking us back to those final days in Thailand when he was torn between his love for both of the finalists.
