T2 WHATS UP! June 7 - 13, 2020 BY KYLA BREWER TV Media W hen tensions are high, there's noth- ing like indulging in some guilty pleasures, from decadent food to steamy romance novels and cheesy music. Luckily for reality television fans, the TV version of a guilty pleasure is about to hit prime time once again. Indulge in some Monday night fun as host Chris Harrison reminisces about the hits and misses of one of TV's most pop- ular reality TV franchises in "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons - Ever," premiering Monday, June 8, on ABC. He guides viewers through past sea- sons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," reliving memorable moments, both good and bad. The first trailer for the new ABC program dropped on May 11, and it included some big promises for the show's 10-epi- sode run. "Revisit the ones you love, the ones you hate and the ones you hate to love," a voice says in the promo. "It's Monday's new one- night stand." It's enough to make "Bache- lor" fans swoon, and they know a thing or two about swooning. Over the years, the franchise has attracted a staunchly loyal fan base dubbed "Bachelor Nation." Surely, many fans have favorite memorable moments, and they'll be on the edge of their seats waiting to find out whether their picks made Harrison's cut. Each week, the host steps back in time to look at one of his fa- vorite seasons. It might be al- most like watching an entire "Bachelor" season in one night. The new ABC show shines a spotlight on countless romances and showmances, not to men- tion plenty of heartache. Thrill- ing proposals and sweet, tender moments are juxtaposed with disastrous rose ceremonies, se- rious meltdowns, unexpected surprises and, of course, cringe- worthy breakups. That's a lot of ground to cover. Flash-in-the-pan reality TV shows wouldn't have such a wealth of material to pull from, but ABC's "The Bachelor" fran- chise has been going strong for Chris Harrison hosts "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons - Ever!"
