On Monday, September 7, 2020 from 8-11pm ET/PT, ABC premiered the season finale of THE BACHELOR: THE GREATEST SEASONS -- EVER! Juan Pablo Galavis, the charming soccer player and single dad from Venezuela went from being the sexiest man alive to one of the most controversial Bachelors in franchise history. Simultaneously, Bachelor Nation was introduced to Clare Crawley. Her search for love with Juan Pablo not only changed her life but promises to make her own romantic journey to find her soul mate a memorable one. Chris Harrison will chat with trailblazing Bachelorettes Trista Rehn Sutter and Kaitlyn Bristowe, plus Andi Dorfman, DeAnna Pappas-Stagliano and Becca Kufrin, who will look back at this season and celebrate Clare's upcoming quest for her happy ending. Sharleen Joynt, the elegant and sensual opera singer, was another of the amazing women whose physical chemistry with Juan Pablo was off the charts. Unfortunately, she discovered that the important emotional connection she needed just wasn't developing, so she walked away. Now almost seven years later, Chris checks in virtually with Sharleen from her home to find out what tipped her decision to leave. Bachelor Nation first met Andi on Juan Pablo's season. The future Bachelorette was one of his final three women. She thought she was falling in love with Juan Pablo and visited the fantasy suite; but the next morning, she couldn't wait to leave. Why the sudden drastic change of heart? Chris talks with Andi from her home about that stunning overnight date and the astounding breakup that followed.

Although Clare had a bumpy road to love with Juan Pablo, she was looking forward to becoming his wife. But on their last date together, he whispered something to her during the helicopter ride that was about to change everything. Later that night, Clare confronted Juan Pablo, but Bachelor Nation's collective jaws dropped when she seemed satisfied with his answer. Chris chats with Bachelorette standouts Trista and Kaitlyn, who shed some light on what Clare must have been experiencing.

On proposal day, Clare finally saw Juan Pablo for who he was. She stood up for herself and put him in his place -- one of the most incredible and empowering moments in the history of THE BACHELOR. Two Bachelorettes -- DeAnna Pappas-Stagliano and Becca Kufrin -- will discuss this iconic moment in Bachelor history with Chris from their homes, as well as what Clare's triumph meant to them. In the end, Juan Pablo chose not to propose to his chosen woman, Nikki Ferrell. How did she feel about leaving as his girlfriend and not his fiancee? She shares her thoughts on the situation with Chris in a remote interview from her home.

Finally, Clare will join Chris from quarantine on location where she is waiting to meet the men who will be on her upcoming season of THE BACHELORETTE. She'll share her thoughts about Juan Pablo's season and her own. What actually happened that day in the helicopter? What secrets will she reveal about her upcoming journey to find love? Clare's long-awaited season is almost here.
