ABC is giving Brad Womack a second chance to find love when the network's romance reality series The Bachelor debuts a fifteenth installment next January. Womack appeared on The Bachelor in 2007 and during the finale that aired in November opted to not offer the final rose and a marriage proposal to one of two remaining bachelorettes thus shocking fans of the show. After being dubbed "the most hated Bachelor" in the show's history, Womack has undergone intensive therapy the last three years saying he is now ready to make the marriage commitment. The Bachelor is hosted by Chris Harrison and is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television.

Cast members from TLC's newest reality television series Sister Wives are currently involved in a bigamy investigation led by police Lt. Darren Paul in Lehi, Utah. Lt. Paul says the investigation was prompted by the reality TV show that depicts the lifestyle of advertising salesman Kody Brown and his four wives, 13 children and three stepchildren. Brown is legally married only to one of his wives, though refers to the other three women as his spouses. TLC premiered the series this past Sunday attracting 2.3 million total viewers. Bigamy is a third-degree felony in Utah and punishable by a prison sentence of up to five years. The Utah law states a person can be found guilty of bigamy through cohabitation and not only through legal marriage contracts. Stay tuned ...
