Brad Womack, the returning bachelor, met each of the bachelorettes in the initial episode of season 15. ABC describes The Bachelor as a romantic reality show and says the group dates give a new twist to double dating. During the weeks of the season, contestants may receive one-on-one dates with Womack or may participate in a group date. During group dates, the ladies must find a way to get individual time and attention from the bachelor.http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelor/about-the-show

At the end the initial show on January 3, 2011, Brad Womack offered nineteen roses to ladies who will continue in the competition. Additionally, he gave one rose as the first-impression rose, leaving a total of 20 bachelorettes in the second episode. The remaining ten, who did not receive a rose, were sent home. In season 11, Brad Womack offered his first impression rose to Jenni Croft, one of the two ladies who went all the way to the final rose ceremony.http://www.reality-tv-online.com/blog/the-bachelor-jenni-gets-the-first-impression-rose/

After the final rose ceremony, when Brad Womack has chosen the lady he wishes to spend his life with, a follow-up episode, called "After the Final Rose," is shown.
