Juan Pablo Galavis

In the 18th edition of The Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis, the sexy single father from Miami, Florida, is ready to find love. With his Spanish accent, good looks, salsa moves and undying devotion to his young daughter, Juan Pablo, 32, was a fan favorite on the ninth edition of The Bachelorette with Desiree Hartsock. In the season premiere, Juan Pablo is enjoying some time with his adorable daughter, Camila, when he is surprised by a visit from former Bachelor Sean Lowe. Sean offers some pointers on how Juan Pablo should handle his romantic adventure when 27 amazing women come from all over the world to meet him. After a party with an impromptu dance party and a spontaneous photo booth, 18 bachelorettes remain to start the exciting adventure with Juan Pablo and begin the search for love.

As the 18 remaining bachelorettes move into the mansion with hopes that they will end up as Juan Pablo's soul mate and future wife, the Bachelor will have his first one-on-one date with Clare, a spunky woman who is about to be surprised with a "winter wonderland." Another individual date - this one with Kat - finds the two jetting off to Salt Lake City, Utah, to race in the "Electric Run." Finally, 13 exuberant women show a different side to the Bachelor as they participate in a photo shoot to benefit the charity Best Friends Animal Society. Tensions run high at the cocktail party as one teary-eyed woman may second-guess her decision to be away from her son, and it doesn't take long for the drama to ramp up. An intense rose ceremony lies ahead, and three women will be eliminated.

Cassandra draws the first one-on-one date after deciding to stay and give love a chance with the dashing Juan Pablo and goes on a water adventure she won't soon forget. Then, a group of 10 women get to share the Bachelor's love of soccer, but when they are split into competing teams for his attention on the soccer field, the claws come out. Next, Chelsie, who is afraid of heights, is pushed to the limit on a pivotal adrenaline date when Juan Pablo invites her to take part in a tandem bungee jump in Pasadena. The couple will be rewarded with a private concert by country music artist BILLY CURRINGTON. And Juan Pablo surprises the women in the mansion by cooking them a classic Venezuelan breakfast. The jealousy between the bachelorettes grows as the Bachelor cancels the cocktail party in favor of a pool party, and the rose ceremony proves more challenging.

Juan Pablo and the 13 remaining women travel to Seoul, South Korea; 2NE1 gives Juan Pablo and his six dates dancing lessons; Sharleen gets the one-on-one date; Juan Pablo takes six women on a tour of South Korea's craziest adventures.

Love blooms in the lush island country of New Zealand as Juan Pablo's adventure continues with the eight remaining women. Andi, desperate to get alone time with the Bachelor, claims the week's first one-on-on date, but will she be able to let her guard down and allow their relationship to grow? A group date for six bachelorettes takes them on a wild ride on the Ogo - a New Zealand extreme sport that has the women zig-zagging down a course in giant clear inflatable balls. After they catch their breath, the after party takes place on the set of the award–winning film trilogy The Hobbit. Clare is still trying to repair her relationship with Juan Pablo, but what will be the outcome? Finally, it is not just the Bachelor with decisions to make, which results in one of the most tension-filled rose ceremonies so far. Six women will move on to join the dashing Bachelor in his hometown of Miami as the women's hometown dates loom.
