Bachelor Contestant Kit Keenan Has A Famous Mom

Bachelor fans were pumped when ABC announced the batch of contestants who could be competing for Matt James' heart on Season 25 of the hit reality show. Especially because one of the ladies has a famous mom, as per People.

Scoring a role as a contestant on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette can seem like the opportunity of a lifetime. However, it's also one that involves a lot of rules, expectations and a whole lot of money. Frankly, despite the fact that some contestants have to quit their jobs and pay for their own fancy clothes in order to look good for the cameras (which sometimes requires major moves like re-mortgaging a house), they don't make as much money from the show as you might think.

Since its debut in 2002, ABC's reality show, The Bachelor, has evolved into a global phenomenon, with several equally popular offshoots (including The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise) and international versions. Taking the franchise's many seasons into consideration, it can seem like the world contains an endless supply of men and women who are looking for true love (and who are also simultaneously willing to sign up to be filmed for two months under what could kindly be called extreme situations).

The Bachelor has been breaking hearts and ratings records since its debut in 2002. The long-running hit series follows one man on his quest to choose the love of his life from a diverse pool of lovely contestants. As with most reality TV shows, this ABC smash is rife with drama, but how much of this fairy tale is pure fiction? Do you really want to know the truth about all those warm fuzzies and tear-jerker moments among gorgeous people in gorgeous settings?

At this point, reality TV has advanced (or devolved, depending on how you look at it) into basically just filming people doing stuff without their clothes. Shock factor is now the name of the game, so rather than just pointing at the entire genre as it exists and labeling it all as uncomfortable, we're taking an awkward trip down memory lane to review some of the most classic cringeworthy moments from reality TV history. Enjoy.
