With the addition of many new elements to the show — including a surprise appearance by the Bachelor's mother at the first rose ceremony and an unexpected ""in the field"" rose ceremony during one of the dates that sends one woman home on the spot — The Bachelor returns for a fourth season! The charming and lovable Bob Guiney, who won the hearts of people across the country when he appeared as a suitor to Trista Rehn on The Bachelorette, is the new Bachelor.
