Bachelor nation : inside the world of America's favorite guilty pleasure / Amy Kaufman. by Kaufman, Amy. Dutton, 2018.

ISBN:  9781101985908 (hc.) Description:  viii, 310 pages ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-293) and index. Summary:  For fifteen years and thirty-five seasons, the Bachelor franchise has been a mainstay in American TV viewers' lives. Since it premiered in 2002, the show's popularity and relevance has only grown. The reality television show's reach and influence is undeniable. Die-hard fans - dubbed "Bachelor Nation" - come together every week during each season to participate in fantasy leagues and viewing parties. A behind-the-scenes, unauthorized look into the reality TV show. Journalist Amy Kaufman has a long history with the franchise - ABC even banned her from attending show events after her coverage of the program got a little too real for its liking. She interviewed dozens of producers, contestants, and celebrity fans to give readers never-before-told details of the show's inner workings: what it's like to be trapped in the mansion "bubble"; dark, juicy tales of producer manipulation; and revelations about the alcohol-fueled debauchery that occurs long before the fantasy suite. Kaufman also explores what our fascination means, culturally: what the show says about the way we view so-called ideal suitors, our subconscious yearning for fairy-tale romance, and how this enduring television show has shaped society's feelings about love, marriage, and feminism by appealing to a marriage plot that's as old as Jane Austen. Amy Kaufman is a staff writer at the Los Angeles Times, where she has covered film, celebrity, and pop culture since 2009.
