The ‘Bachelor’ Franchise Rosebush of Romantic Entanglements

Season 10 of 'The Bachelorette' premieres tonight, with Juan Pablo-dumper Andi Dorfman reappearing on our TV screens to get a second chance at finding foreverlove.

Harrison would never get over it"), the franchise is certainly is adept at producing a whole lot of matches, period — however short-lived they might turn out to be.
