This television program is centered around a single man selecting a possible spouse from a group of 25 ladies. The narrative traces the journey of the bachelor as he embarks on various dates with these women, some involving the group, while others are more intimate, one-on-one encounters. Each episode sees some women being dismissed, typically during the concluding rose ceremony, but occasionally this occurs during the dates themselves, referred to as "elimination dates". The procedure advances towards the climax of the season with several women participating in overnight dates, and interactions taking place between the bachelor, the women, and their families. By the finale of the show, the bachelor picks a single woman with whom he wishes to pursue a relationship. This could involve a marriage proposal or other forms of commitment.

Trista Rehn, who came second in the inaugural season, subsequently featured in The Bachelorette, a derivative show where the gender roles are reversed.
