Spoilers for "The Bachelor" through episode 6. Has there ever been a sadder moment: you go into your PJs, get the wine and popcorn ready (S.O. optional, for some reason my husband likes to watch with me). You watch two hours of ridiculous drama that has absolutely nothing to do with your real life or horrible politics; you turn on the ABC channel and see ...... I notice that the show is not airing a single episode this week. I would argue that this reality is earth shattering. Fortunately, I have your back. If you really want to know, here is the confirmed schedule for The Bachelor.

Phew! Season seven episode will air as usual on Monday, February 10, from 8:00-10:00 PM ET. Details are excerpted from the release:

The pressure mounts as a date in his hometown looms, but first Peter and the remaining six women travel to beautiful Lima. A conversation with his mother leads Peter to visit the women unexpectedly and have a serious talk with them. How do the women respond to his call to focus on their feelings? After a magical day together, Madison and Peter have a make-or-break moment in their relationship. Peter and Natasha spend time shopping, eating, and having fun. Kelsey has a charming pilot and a brave family secret to share, but can she get a hometown date with a rose?" a terrifying three-on-one date pits one confident woman against two panicked bachelors. The tough decisions are just beginning for Peter, as four women prepare to take him home to meet their respective families.

Excellent.

ABC has confirmed that episode 8 will air on Monday, February 17 from 8:00-10:00 PM ET. This is just as the show begins to make some changes, and the finale is usually on a Monday and Tuesday in mid-March. This is a guess, though, and there are always little scheduling surprises there (remember the recent double episode?). As soon as we know more details, we'll update you. You're welcome!
