The Bachelor

The Proposal is a reality dating series that airs on ABC and premiered on June 18, 2018. The show is hosted by Jesse Palmer, a former NFL quarterback and the season 5 Bachelor.

A bachelor or bachelorette is hidden from view, and 10 contestants of the opposite binary gender must introduce themselves and answer questions posed by the bachelor or bachelorette. Contestants are eliminated until the end of the hour, when the bachelor or bachelorette can choose to propose to one of the final two candidates.

On August 5, 2019, the series was cancelled after one season.

An Australian adaptation of the program aired on the Seven Network from August to October 2019.

Controversy

On June 22, 2018, a woman named Erica Denae Meshke accused contestant Michael J. Friday of luring her for sexual assault in November 2017. As a result, ABC decided to pull the episode that features Friday from airing. On the show, he was eliminated after round 1.

Reception

The series holds a score of 25 on Metacritic based on 4 reviews. Newsday gave the show 2 out of 4 stars. Tierney Bricker of E! Online says the show is like "The Bachelor on steroids."
