When you think of the show The Bachelor, what do you think of?
What comes to mind are attractive people looking for love. However, what isn’t apparent is that there is an open casting call behind these scenes nearly all of the time. This means anyone can go.
The show has become such a phenomenon that it’s easy to forget these Bachelor tryouts. The show producers are still looking for the right candidate to make good TV and eventually receive proposals from all twenty-five contestants vying for their hearts.
Typically, there is a casting call each season for The Bachelor. There is a Bachelor tryout one every four months until the actual show begins filming about six weeks later. It’s easy to see why there is such a turn-out of women trying to get on this show. Around 20,000 people typically attend the open call at each city to try their chances. Those numbers are staggering compared to the 300-400 applicants to the show during its first season back in 2002.
How to apply for a Bachelor Casting Call
Although the open casting calls were typically held in large cities like Los Angeles and New York, they’ve also expanded to smaller cities like San Juan, Puerto Rico. This makes it possible for more women across the country to make their way down to these open casting calls. Not only is there an application process on ABC’s website, but another is to fill out an ABC application that is available at each open call.
Of course, there are other ways that women can be in contention for a spot on The Bachelor/Bachelorette. One of the most well-known is to send in a video submission through the show’s website or even YouTube. Although this doesn’t guarantee any spots, it’s one way to have your 15 minutes of fame. Another is to be good friends with someone close to the show. If you are someone’s best friend or even relative, there may be a chance for an application to come your way.
