THE BACHELOR -"Episode 2108" - Corinne, Rachel, Raven and Vanessa are left in Bimini, still shocked that Nick sent Kristina home before the rose ceremony. They wonder if they still will get a coveted hometown date from the unpredictable Bachelor. But with the stakes being so high, Nick will go on an emotionally charged journey to visit these final four women's hometowns. Raven meets him in Hoxie, Arkansas, and cute couple have some great, sexy fun, but Raven's father reveals some serious news. Then, it is on to Dallas where Rachel and Nick confront the challenges that might meet an interracial couple. Corinne is waiting in Miami where her father waits with some tough questions. Finally, Nick travels to Montreal to reunite with Vanessa. Although her special needs adult students give him a big thumbs up, things don't go quite so well with her big Italian family, especially after her father drops a bomb about Nick that has Vanessa questioning their relationship. Just as Nick gets ready to make the gut-wrenching decision to send one woman home, he gets a surprise visitor, who could change everything, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

10. Over 16 Countries Have A Version Of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette

The Bachelor has been around for close to 20 years, and The Bachelorette almost just as long. Since then we’ve been blessed with Bachelor Pad and Bachelor In Paradise as spin-offs. These shows pull from the same casting pool as the originals, so we’re basically just catching up with the same characters over and over.

Most recently, ABC has tried their hand at creating spin-offs featuring couples as they “journey” toward their marriage. Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell had their own show on the ABC affliate, Freeform, but it failed to capture audiences’ attention. Rumors are swirling that Ben’s season’s twins, Haley and Emily will get their own show as well.

The Bachelor franchise is not only an American phenomenon. There are over 17 other countries that have their version of the dating show, and some look a lot like the original. Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, Slovenia, Romania, Israel, Brasil, Norway, Australia, Poland, France, Ukraine, Russia, Canada, Finland, the UK, Romania, and India all have versions of both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. 

It seems like the love we have for watching young, pretty, white people “find love” is a universal desire. No matter what language we hear, “I’m not here to make friends,” it seems we can connect to it. Next time you’re traveling abroad, check out one of these spin-offs to see if you can identify all the things we know and love about our favorite show about love.
