THE BACHELOR- 20/20's INSIDE THE STORIES BEHIND THE ROSE

TIME FOR TRUTH TO PREVAIL

On Monday evening, March 15th, on ABC's 20/20, they will take a look behind the scenes of THE BACHELOR.

There will be highlights and awkward moments from previous BACHELOR episodes.

Melissa Rycroft, who was jilted on THE BACHELOR when Jason changed his mind after having proposed to her on the final episode, will be key in informing the public about what goes no behind the scenes. She though mades it clear in a recent interview that this show is done with cooperation of the show's producers. She hints that some of the "real" happenings will be disclosed.

I am looking forward to this presentation because all along I have been suspect that there is much more going on than we see. Of course, anyone who watches any "reality" show knows that it is not "true" reality but is a glimpse of the "real" along with crafty scripting and editing. It is realistic that because reality shows are popular that everything that can be done to command an audience is done.

Join in and watch INSIDE THE BACHELOR.

I'll be watching to get answers to two of my questions:

Is there script for participants in order to create images of ladies?

How much and what type of editing is involved in order to add hype to the show and create "ratings"?

I would also like to know, truthfully, how this type experience impacts the lives of the participants.
