Unconventional Matchmaking
As ''The Bachelor'' Matt Grant explains in this clip, the show provides a unique way to find love. Unlike meeting someone one-on-one, all contestants on the series are placed in a mansion to live, love and fight. While it's far from dating in real life, the unique approach allows the bachelor to form relationships with several women to decide if they are meant to be as a couple. It's not everyone, but if you are ready to battle for love, this show may be for you.
