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.

Breathtaking Vietnam becomes the romantic backdrop for Juan Pablo and the 11 remaining bachelorettes to continue their search for love. Renee is overjoyed when she is picked for a one-on-one date, but will she get the opportunity to tell the Latin heartthrob how she really feels? Nine women board Vietnamese bamboo circle boats for the adventure of a lifetime, but jealousy and resentment rear their ugly head when Juan Pablo appears to spend more time with one of the women than the rest. However, when he singles out Clare for some extended alone time, he is asking for trouble. Nikki is traumatized when she discovers that she and the Bachelor must rappel down 100 feet into a dark cave named Hell. There are plenty of tears from the women — and even the Bachelor — during a powerful and emotional rose ceremony.
