Everything We Know About Colton's Season Of The Bachelor

The Bachelor gave a predictable swerve this past August.

It was a "swerve" because the show chose one of its most controversial contestants. It was "predictable" because the show chose one of its most controversial contestants. Colton Underwood probably wasn't meant to be such a sticking point. He was Bachelor catnip: He's a former pro football player who cried a lot. He was already semi-famous, thanks to a relationship with Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman, and he had a bad habit of getting ensnared in Bachelor drama. Ergo, Colton Underwood was an ideal Bachelor, a good ole Midwestern boy who liked a velour vest and detested confrontation.
