rose ceremony

Dating show climax

A rose ceremony is a ritual on dating competition television shows, particularly *The Bachelor* and *The Bachelorette*, where the lead offers roses to contestants they want to keep—those who don't receive one are eliminated.

The term has spread to describe any dramatic selection process where people are chosen or cut: It felt like a rose ceremony when they announced who made the team.
