The Bachelor
Rose ceremony series
The Bachelor is an American reality television dating show that premiered in 2002, in which a single man meets and dates multiple women over several weeks, eliminating contestants until proposing to one at the finale.
The format has spawned numerous spinoffs including The Bachelorette, where a woman chooses among male suitors.
The phrase has become shorthand for any elaborate, competitive courtship scenario: It felt like an episode of The Bachelor with all those women vying for his attention.
