Tune In: ‘Bachelor,’ ballet and bling

“The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) wraps up its 15th season tonight as Brad looks back at his second chance to find true love with millions of TV viewers looking on, not to mention being surrounded by producers, editors, camera operators and sound booms in a fake-resort environment. A mere mortal would find that all distracting. But not a man with love on his mind.

You have to give Brad credit for persistence. Apparently and despite all of the distractions of being part of the publicity machinery of this prime time soap opera, he has lost his heart this season. Not once, but twice — to women named Chantal and Emily.

Just what are the chances that somebody named Brad would encounter a Chantal in the first place? Was it fate or just casting? Before popping the question to one lucky lady, Brad will sit down with Chris Harrison and stare square-jawed into the camera to share his thoughts about both women and his experience. Experts have written that names can sometimes bring destiny. I just wonder if you name your baby Brad will he have a higher chance of appearing on something as fake as “The Bachelor”?

After Brad makes his big decision and distributes one last long stem, the instant retrospectives continue on “The Bachelor: After the Final Rose” (9 p.m., ABC).
