Are you ready for the most dramatic season of "The Bachelor" ever? How about at least since the one that aired last year? "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss tweeted that Ben Higgins's upcoming Season 20 (starting January 4, 2016) is his "favorite season since Jason and Molly." Considering Jason Mesnick didn't even pick Molly Malaney and that was the most controversial season of its time, that may be a sign for this round too.
Ben does give off a Jason-ish vibe, which could be good in the long run, since Jason and Molly are now married and beloved leaders of Bachelor Nation. Jason is one of three past Bachelors who will actually return on Ben's premiere to offer advice.
ABC just released details on the big 2016 premiere, with details on Ben's other upcoming dates, adding that contestant bios will be released soon. There are also spoilers on what happens in the premiere and finale, if you want that kind of thing. See below for both.
SEASON 20 PREMIERE
From ABC's press release:
• A trio of former Bachelors – Sean Lowe, Chris Soules and Jason Mesnick – arrive at the mansion to offer Ben some words of wisdom before he starts his journey to find the love of his life. What are the do's and don'ts on one of the most important nights of his life? Ben is filled with excitement and anticipation as limos start to arrive. Despite being 26, he feels ready to find the right woman and start a family.
• One by one, the gorgeous bachelorettes are prepared to make a lasting first impression. One woman reveals she is friends with Kaitlyn. Ben does a double take as another striking lady stands outside the limo – and is joined by her identical twin sister. A stunner makes a bold move and goes in for a kiss that Ben won't soon forget. A woman with a companion – a mini-horse – gets invited inside the mansion. One woman is so nervous that she forgets to tell Ben her name.
• Once inside the mansion, the party really gets started. No sooner does Ben start to welcome the women than one determined dentist steals him away for a private exam. But two last-minute arrivals turn the party upside down. Another bold bachelorette decides to plant the first real kiss of the night on Ben with surprising results. Finally, Ben offers the coveted first-impression rose to one stunned woman who never expected to receive it.
• The stakes are high as the long, stressful first night winds down and it's time for the first rose ceremony of the season. Twenty-one lucky women will continue their journey to win Ben's heart. But, of course, one brazen bachelorette pulls our Bachelor aside and chastises him for something he didn't do.
FULL SEASON TEASES
From ABC's press release:
• Ben's first one-on-one date is a doozy. He and a spirited bachelorette are joined by Ice Cube and Kevin Hart – fresh from the set of "Ride Along 2," in theaters nationwide on January 15th – who decide they know exactly what to do on this date. But will this woman roll with the punches?
• Twelve bachelorettes get to "kick it" with Ben, playing a spirited soccer match with members of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Soccer Championship team, including Alex Morgan and Kelley O'Hara.
• Another dozen women attempt to impress Ben with their talents as the opening act for the versatile singer, comedian and celebrity impersonator Terry Fator at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
• The Bachelor escorts nine sexy señoritas on a tasty trip through Mexico City to learn about the Spanish language and the scrumptious food. Still another woman gets to meet one of Mexico's premiere fashion designers and walk the runway to open their stellar Fashion Week.
• Six ladies are totally surprised by the company they will keep during a day of fun and sun on Pig Island. It's just them, the handsome Bachelor and a bunch of wild, swimming pigs!
• Ben takes one woman to the Baker's Youth Center in his hometown of Warsaw, Indiana, where he used to spend summers working with the kids. He is stunned when several of the Indiana Pacers, including NBA superstar Paul George, visit the center to participate in the festivities with them.
• Then it is on to Wrigley Field for a spectacular one-on-one date at the historic baseball stadium, but does the date qualify as a home run?
• The hometown dates are filled with emotional revelations, but when the final three women travel to an exotic tropical island for the romantic overnight dates, there are even more shocking surprises awaiting our unsuspecting Bachelor.
