ABC reveals the identities of its 'The Bachelor: Rome' bachelorettes


By Steve Rogers, 09/26/2006

With its premiere now only a week away, ABC has released more information about The Bachelor: Rome, including the identities of the twenty-five bachelorettes who will be competing for the heart of Prince Lorenzo Borghese, the ninth Bachelor edition's previously announced bachelor.

Lorenzo, a member of the Italian noble family, is the grandson of cosmetics creator Princess Marcella Borghese. Born in Milan, the 34-year-old moved to Connecticut when he was five years old and has resided in Manhattan since 1997. Despite being billed as a "cosmetics entrepreneur" by ABC, Lorenzo's business isn't part of what most would consider to be the conventional cosmetics industry -- instead he operates GetRoyalTreatment.com, an Internet retailer of canine "bath and body" products.

Set at a sprawling Italian castle that was built in 1604 by Cardinale Taverna, The Bachelor: Rome's two-hour premiere will begin with the traditional cocktail reception in which the season's twenty-five bachelorettes will vie for Lorenzo's attention. However in addition to competing with each other, the bachelorettes will have some additional competition -- two "gorgeous Italian Cinderellas" that crash the party and plot to steal Lorenzo's heart and attention.

With both sides pulling out all the stops, the tug-of-war over Lorenzo will continue throughout the entire night and end with a sunrise Rose Ceremony -- a Bachelor first -- in which Lorenzo must eliminate fifteen of the twenty-seven women. Similar to other recent The Bachelor editions, the reception will also feature Lorenzo giving an early rose -- plus in another Bachelor first, "a very special sparkling token" -- to one of the women.

After narrowing the pool of women to twelve, Lorenzo will continue to get to know the remaining women through a series of group and solo dates that will include visits to the ruins of Rome's ancient Forum, Colosseum and Pantheon; the Trevi Fountain; and the lush Villa Borghese -- a large Roman park that bears Lorenzo's family name. As he has since the long-running reality franchise began, Chris Harrison will once again serve as The Bachelor's host.
