What happens in the show?
The season follows the franchise’s dating-show approach, with group activities and individual dates. For example, ABC’s recap of the second week describes a senior-prom outing, a Disneyland date, and a talent showcase. Those are examples from that episode, not a complete account of every date or the full season format. ABC’s week-two recap
