‘The Bachelor’ Franchise By The Numbers

Bachelor Ben Group ShotJuan Pablo Galavis‘s season of The Bachelor is now in full swing, and, just as with all of the seasons of the show that came before it, women can’t get enough. The show, along with its spin-offs The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad, have been on for  many years now, so The Ashley decided to sum up the history of the franchise, using only numbers. (She did this once before for the show 16 and Pregnant, as you loyal Roundupers may remember.)
