Bachelor Nation’s diehards will, tonight, watch The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart online (again) and find out if this spinoff can get better. ABC's spinoff to the hit Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise is looking for success in its third week, continuing to see if this group of single male and female musicians can find The One.
The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart airs at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
In short? You got your American Idol in my Bachelor. Over the course of six, two-hour episodes, The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart will follow the singletons as they pair up, sing songs individually and as a couple and demonstrate their romantic and musical chemistry to celebrity judges.

By the end of the six weeks, only one couple will remain on The Bachelor stage. The Bachelorette season 16 with lead Clare Crawley should've been filming over the last two months, but has been postponed indefinitely (let's hope it gives the show's casting department a chance to find more age-appropriate suitors).
Listen to Your Heart will work similarly to Bachelor in Paradise (filming of which is also likely to be delayed). In the premiere episode, women will give out roses to their chosen men, and those who don't receive one, leave. In the following rose ceremony, men will have the upper hand, with women facing elimination.
In episode 1, Ryan and Matt got date cards. Ryan took Jamie on a date where they recorded a cover of John Mayer’s Gravity, while Matt took Mel to a backyard concert by the Plain White T's. In the end, Savannah picked Brandon, then Mel picked Gabe, then Bekah picked Danny, Bri picked Chris, Cheyenne picked Matt, Julia picked Sheridan, Jamie picked Trevor and Rudi saved Ryan.
The following four dudes left: Jack Mason, Josh Hester, Michael Todd and Russell Johnson. In episode 2, the guys are gonna give the roses (and some of the ladies will be eliminated), which should prove interesting.
