Tonight’s the night. You’ve scouted the 25 potential men. You’ve sided with #TeamKaitlyn or #TeamBritt. And mostly, you’ve worked extremely hard at avoiding spoilers online. Now, you can put all your hardcore The Bachelorette viewing knowledge to good use…to win some moolah! While The Bachelor rejects Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson assess their men, you can actually place bets on your favorite. The “reality” show is entertaining enough with the fighting, tears, and awkward conversations, there are also fantasy leagues to get your family, friends, and co-workers involved in the fun. Even if you just set up a pool with friends, these websites can give you great ideas on how to conduct your contest. Check out some options below, and may the best potential suitor win.
“The Bachelor Bracket”
TheBachelorBracket.com features simple directions on setting up brackets and your own league. However, to start or join a league, you must register with the website. The way this bracket works is that you predict how far a contestant will go and when he will get eliminated. You get a point for every contestant prediction you get right.
“Bachelor League”
BachelorLeague.com is slightly different in that you choose four contestants to follow. Instead of simply being rewarded for your guys advancing, they’ll gain points for all those Bachelorette standbys that we live for – getting dates, crying, make outs, and more. The website requires a $10 fee to participate, but the draft already occurred May 14-15. No worries – use the site for ideas on what to award points for if you want to start a personal league with your own friends.
“Last2Left”
Last2Left.com offers a free setup for your fantasy league, which is good for those interested in starting pools amongst groups of friends or coworkers. Their public fantasy league is slightly different in that you’re only trying to correctly predict the final two bachelors. Deadlines for the public game start June 8 at 4 pm EST. Private games are also available, but you have to register an account on Last2Left.
“Bach Fantasy”
BachFantasy.com may sound like a potential NSFW website, but it’s legit. They have rules and an easy to download Excel scoring template for you and your league members to use. The best part is you don’t have to do any of the hard work. You can check back on the website on Tuesday mornings to tally up the score.
Be sure to watch the Season 11 premiere of The Bachelorette featuring Britt and Kaitlyn tonight, Monday, May 18 at 9 pm. EST on ABC. The show continues Tuesday, May 19 at 8 pm.
