"The Letter"...Bachelor/Bachelorette

People were asking Reality Steve what the letter looks like when people accept to be on the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. I thought this was a really cool idea for a blog because you always wonder what they sign when they choose to be on the show. So here it is people....:) Thanks Reality Steve...

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,

Congratulations! You have been selected to be a part of ABC’s prime time series “The Bachelor.” We are very excited about your participation and look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles. You should be ready to be entertained in the most unforgettable places, dine in a style reserved for the elite, live in a luxurious mansion and embrace exotic, high-action adventures. This experience could take anywhere in the world, so please come prepared for anything!

You will be with us for at least five days and/or up to nine weeks. Since there will be no time for shopping and tending to personal errands, we need you to be ready for any and all circumstances. We have put together a list of items you should bring on the next page. You will be participating in a multitude of activities—you might go to the beach, or the theatre, or both. Therefore we ask that you bring everything mentioned in the attached packing list, AND we ask that you put it all in two suitcases only.

Should your family or co-workers need to reach you while you are with us, they can contact either of the following people (please have them call Lacey first):

Lacey Pemberton, Casting Director
***-***-**** cell

Sarah Jane Fuchs, Production Supervisor
***-***-**** cell

Elan Gale, Co-Producer

We thank you very much for your involvement with “The Bachelor.” We’re looking forward to getting to know you better and hope you have a great time!

Warmest Regards,

The Bachelor Staff
