For tips on “How To Spot A Front-Runner On The ‘Bachelor’ Or ‘Bachelorette,” FiveThirtyEight is offering extensive analysis from all 33 seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Some of the more interesting findings include:

The first-impression rose is a great way to identify an early favorite but a poor way to pick a final rose recipient.

Date roses buy bachelor/ettes about two more weeks on the show.

One-on-one dates are more valuable earlier in the season, and going on a two-on-one date means that a bachelor/ette is probably toast. But most of all, if someone manages to make it past week one, they’re already closer to love than a third of all participants.

In addition to the final four men and final rose gameplay, The Bachelorette Fantasy League also features a weekly game throughout the entire season based on player predictions of events that will take place in the upcoming episode.  Examples from this coming week include:

• A Hollywood super couple presents which of these challenges to Rachel’s bachelors on a group date?
• “husband material” challenge
• “cooking for two” challenge
• “beach body workout” challenge
• “dating etiquette” challenge

•  Which of the following is written on one of the date cards this week?
• “The sky’s the limit”
• “Who let the dogs out?”
• “Let’s make this a slam dunk”
• “I’m looking for my best friend”

• TRUE OR FALSE: Rachel’s ex-boyfriend shows up unexpectedly at the Bachelor mansion.

 
Players earn points for correct answers, and each point is an entry into both that week’s drawing for a prize bag that includes a signed headshot and $100 gift card and the grand-prize drawing at the end of the season.
