How To Actually Get Cast On "The Bachelor"

While there are limited casting calls for the franchise in big cities, the main way to apply is through an application either online or in the mail. There's a "Guys" version and "Girls" version, but the genders are asked mostly overlapping questions.

Here's a taste of what the men are asked:

What's your favorite drink?

Have you ever been married or engaged?

What is most important, physical attraction or personality when first meeting someone?

Do you have any pets?

Do you have any special talents?

Why would girls think you are an eligible Bachelor?

And here's some sample questions from the women's application:

Are you genuinely looking to get married and why?

Why would you want to find your spouse on our TV show?

List three adjectives that would surprise people about you?

Do you have any tattoos? If yes, where are they?

What have you not found but would like to have in a relationship?
