Today, it's not uncommon to see models, entrepreneurs, and even former beauty queens competing for the final rose. Format - The basic premise of The Bachelor hasn't changed much over the years - one person dates a group of contestants, eliminating them one by one until they're left with just a few finalists. But the show has added several twists and turns over the years, including overnight dates, fantasy suite dates, and even a few surprise visits from former contestants. * Drama - Let's face it, guys - The Bachelor is all about the drama. And while the show has always had its fair share of tears and tension, it seems like the drama has been turned up to 11 in recent seasons.
