The Bachelor, Season 20: Prince Farming



Hey, y'all! Welcome to a brand new season of The Bachelor. Season 20 features Chris Soules, AKA Prince Farming, a stylish farmer from Iowa that Andi sent home last year. We've got a great crop of girls for you this season!

Here are some details about how this season's scoring will go. Every Tuesday, I'll send out an updated spreadsheet that details your points for the week, a recap of your points from past weeks, and your grand total. After the finale, we will total up all of your points from the entire season. Third place will get their money back, second place will get triple their money back, and first place will get the rest of the pot. We have 14 teams confirmed at the moment, which means first place will receive just under $200 (the actual amount will be $200 minus the PayPal fees). 

We hope you'll join us for all of the fun!

Mid-season Draft (Brand New!)

This season, our league is trying something new to spice it up. When there are 10 ladies left, you’ll have the option to trade one of your players or replace an ousted player with one of the remaining bachelorettes.

For example, if my team is down to two ladies, I can draft one of the remaining ten to my team for a new total of three active players. Or, if I still have a full team of five, I can trade one of my players for a bachelorette I think has a better chance of winning. Spicy, no?

Points Categories

*UPDATE* It's just not fair that dancing with Chris isn't worth a few points, so as of 1/13/15, we have added in 5 points for dancing with Chris and made attending a concert worth 5 points as well. I've retroactively added 5 points for Kaitlyn from week 1's episode featuring some awkward breakdancing.

You’ll be rewarded for drafting bold contestants but more so for drafting contestants who go the distance. Points are divided into Phrases, Actions, and Roses.

We’ve added a new wildcard point category to keep things fresh throughout the season!

Wildcard Points (Brand New!)
Another addition we’re making this season is a wildcard point category. Each week, we’ll announce the upcoming wildcard category for the week. It will change weekly and is only awarded to one lady per episode. For example, one wildcard category might be: the first lady to be shown on camera in a bikini this week gets 40 points.
