The fading reality hit seeks to reinvent itself in a new locale: the City of Light. But the format is the same: one guy and 25 gals out to snag him. The bachelor: Dr. Travis Stork. No, he's not an obstetrician (he's an ER doctor in Nashville), but one of the ladies he meets, in a 14th-century chateau, does mention "reproduction." Whether she'll get the final rose remains to be seen, but Dr. Stork has work to do in the opener: He must say au revoir to 13 of the hopefuls.

Four ladies drop off Dr. Stork's chart, but first he takes all 12 on a group date. It's dinner at the top of the Arc de Triomphe, but Mother Nature sees to it that it's a washout. Then there's the first one-on-one date: dinner during a cruise on the Seine. A rose or a trip home is at stake. And finally, another group date---a tour of Champagne. A rose is up for grabs here, too, and the competition bubbles over.

Three dates lead to au revoir for two of the eight remaining ladies. First, Travis and a companion get lost on an auto trip into town. Then the bachelor and five wannabe brides spend a night on a yacht on the Riviera. And finally, a camping trip for three.

In addition to a day of cycling in the countryside with the six remaining ladies, there's a picnic for two at the Eiffel Tower and an evening for two in Montmartre. The twist: The date participants are selected by contestants Travis eliminated. The bachelor also shows up unannounced at the women's villa and learns a secret. In the end, the field is reduced to four.

Travis and the bachelorettes bid adieu temporarily to Paris and head back across the Atlantic for dates in the gals' hometowns. That means it's time to meet the folks. It also means that the tables are turned somewhat, and one dad gives Travis a grilling. Also: highlights of past hometown dates on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette."

It's down to three---and dates in Venice (with Moana), Vienna (Sarah S.) and the French Alps (Susan). One woman bares her soul, another her fangs. Also: reflections on overnight dates from past participants Aaron Buerge, Andrew Firestone, Shannon Oliver and Trish Schneider; and updates on "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" couples Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado, and Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice.

Rejected ladies confront Travis---and each other---in an hour that also includes outtakes from previous episodes.

Travis chooses either Moana or Sarah S. to be his mate in the season finale. But first, his parents, sister and two nieces arrive in Paris to meet the two remaining ladies and help him make his decision. The finalists' mothers are also in town to offer their support, but they can't accompany their daughters when each goes on one last date with Travis.

The ninth season opens with Prince Lorenzo Borghese, a 34-year-old Italian aristocrat who has lived in the U.S. since he was 5, meeting the 27 women he'll consider to be his bride. Two of them are Italian crashers at the opening party, held at a castle that was built in 1604, and they're not greeted warmly by the American invitees, who aren't especially nice to each other, either. By the end of the show, 15 ladies get the boot.

The 12 remaining bachelorettes move into a villa, and before three rose-less ladies move out at the end of the episode, Lorenzo squires one, Lisa, around Rome's Villa Borghese. This doesn't make Lisa popular with some of her competitors. Group dates include a motor-scooter tour of Rome and a Mediterranean cruise, where one bachelorette passes out after drinking too much. There's also an emotional breakdown, suffered by Erica. And back at Lorenzo's villa, two bachelorettes break into his bedroom.

Nine bachelorettes remain, and Lorenzo takes six of them to a Tuscan castle for a sleepover pool party. And he spends a night at the opera on a one-on-one date. It's a Cinderella evening for Jami that begins in a Maserati, but it could end (figuratively speaking) in a pumpkin. Meanwhile, Sadie tells Lorenzo she's saving herself for marriage, and fireworks literally cap another bachelorette's date with him. At the rose ceremony, Lorenzo has six to bestow.

Lorenzo, who is a licensed private airplane pilot, flies one of the ladies in a private plane to the Roman baths for a one-on-one date to Tivoli. Following the flight, the two get intimate in the ancient Roman baths. A group date to the historic Roman aqueducts has the remaining women competing for Lorenzo's affections, as they race each other, riding authentic Roman chariots for a special wish from the Bachelor. Lorenzo also shares a private dinner with another bachelorette in front of the Vatican, which also happens to have the Borghese name on its fagade. Then they take a romantic carriage ride to the famous Trevi Fountain.

Lorenzo is feeling the mounting pressure as he leaves to visit each of the final four women's hometowns and receives some rude and unexpected awakenings.

It's the ultimate whirlwind for the final three women - Jennifer, Lisa and Sadie -- as Lorenzo travels across Europe to some of the most romantic and exciting locations in Sweden, Budapest and Sicily for their exotic dates. The three bachelorettes are falling hard for the handsome Prince, with one woman pouring her heart out to him, another pulling out all the stops to get to the Fantasy Suite and the final woman finding her lifelong morals severely tested. It's a wild, romantic ride with each of the ladies -- until Lorenzo has to make a heart-wrenching decision to eliminate one of them.

Prince Lorenzo must make one of the most difficult decisions of his life, struggling with his final choice about who will be his future Princess, on the gripping two-hour special conclusion.

They're all in the hunt for U.S. Naval Lieutenant Andy Baldwin, M.D., when the tenth edition of ABC's popular romance reality series, The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman, premieres.

The dating begins with an evening on L.A.'s Sunset Boulevard, but one bachelorette feels lost in the crowd. Andy then challenges seven contestants to a mini-triathlon in Santa Monica, but two prove to be divas, not athletes. And he spends a romantic evening aboard the yacht with "first-impression rose" winner Stephanie T. before casting off three hopefuls, leaving 12 remaining.

The 12 remaining bachelorettes endure a boot camp, and a drill sergeant---not Andy---gives the toughest lady a rose. But Andy does show off his bedside manner to a woman who is injured. Then he takes five contestants to a mud spa, where he gives one a massage, and accompanies four others to an auto race. Andy also goes on a two-on-one date aboard an aircraft carrier berthed in San Diego, but brings only one rose with him. After the concluding rose ceremony, nine bachelorettes remain.

Andy surprises the nine remaining bachelorettes with a luxurious trip to Lake Tahoe. Four ladies all get lucky on a casino group date and, at the end of the night, one very fortunate woman is the recipient of a hot, romantic get-together with Andy that would melt the snow on the surrounding mountaintops. Next, it's off to the slopes for a fiercely competitive group date. And in the final one-on-one date of the trip, a passionate fireside tryst ends up taking a serious turn when Andy presses the woman for her true feelings and then must make an immediate decision about whether to send her home.

Now the pressure is really on, as Andy struggles to decide which four women he will escort home to meet their family and friends. But first, one lucky bachelorette experiences a fairytale date with the handsome Bachelor, complete with million dollar jewels and a glamorous dress. Another lady sets out on a very sensuous individual date with the Lieutenant, as they create their own blend of wine. On the only group date, four women join Andy in a charity project, transforming a rundown Los Angeles elementary school playground into a safe haven for kindergarten kids -- which may change his perspective on the bachelorettes.

Andy faces a surprising but exciting journey across the country that will end in one woman's tears, when he escorts each of the remaining four bachelorettes to their hometowns.

Andy and remaining bachelorettes Bevin, Danielle and Tessa spend active days---and romantic nights---in Hawaii. There's cable riding, whale watching, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming and jungle hiking, plus a consultation with a psychic. But first, all four visit the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, where Andy reflects on what life as a Navy wife could entail. And after he consults with his best friend, Andy bestows two roses. With them come invitations to meet his family.

In the season finale, Andy takes finalists Bevin and Tessa home to Lancaster, Pa., to meet his family. Bevin joins the Baldwins for lunch, Tessa for dinner. Then it's back to Hawaii for hiking, swimming, and romantic rides in a helicopter and on horses. There are professions of love from both bachelorettes, but Andy can respond in kind to only one.

Brad Womack, 34, a self-made successful entrepreneur from Austin, Texas, will take all the heart, determination and commitment that have made him such a success in the business world and focus it on the one thing that is missing from his life -- a soul mate and the family life he has so long desired.
