The Bachelor franchise: You love to hate it, and you hate to love it. Amy Kaufman writes about it - and many other Hollywood mainstays - for the The Los Angeles Times. Her new book Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure, gives a behind-the-scenes, unauthorized look into the show since its inception in 2002. She interviewed dozens of producers, contestants, and celebrity fans to give readers insider details about the show's inner workings such as what it's like to be trapped in the mansion "bubble," tales of producer manipulation and revelations about the kinds of alcohol-fueled debauchery that have recently made headlines.
