'The Bachelor' season 23 Episode 1: From fake accents to fat-shaming, these contestants have already stirred controversy

In less than a few hours, Underwood will be surrounded by 30 women, all fighting for his love and attention, hoping to be the one he is searching for in 'The Bachelor'.
UPDATED JAN 7, 2019

'The Bachelor' season 23 is all set to premiere on January 7 and NFL star Colton Underwood is the bachelor this season. Underwood had previously made his appearance on 'The Bachelorette' and 'The Bachelor in Paradise'. And, having no luck finding true love the first two times, the 26-year-old NFL player has now made his way into 'The Bachelor' in hopes of finally finding the one for him. 

In less than a few hours, Underwood will be surrounded by 30 women, all fighting for his love and attention, hoping to be with the love he is searching for.

Though he has made appearances on other 'Bachelor' series, there is one unique quality that makes him stand out among previous bachelors — he is still a virgin. From the time the series announced Underwood as the bachelor this season, his V-Card has been the talk of the town. But, according to Underwood, that is just one minor aspect to him.
