Since 2003, "The Bachelorette" has been flipping the standard "Bachelor" format by putting the woman in the driver's seat. And it's worked super well for the franchise.
With two marriages down and four more on the way, "The Bachelorette" is sitting pretty when it comes to lasting romance.
But since the show premiered 15 years ago, a lot has changed within the franchise. The show isn't the same that it was in Season one. There's more traveling, bigger budgets, and the promise of social media fame for even early eliminees.
There are so many things that happen behind-the-scenes that fans don't know about. Like what happens to the food on dates and who really plans the activities.
The show's 14th season is coming to an end on August 6, and it won't be back until May 2019. So while you wait to see Becca Kufrin start her own wedding prep, you can tide yourself over with these surprising facts about "The Bachelorette."
1. Only the Bachelorette herself makes any money.

The male contestants compete on the show for free. But, they usually make up for it with social media sponsorships after the show. As for the Bachelorette herself, Reality Steve — the go-to source for "The Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" spoilers — claimed it's standard for the leading lady to earn $100,000 for her time on the show. That's a sweet deal considering…
2. It films over only two months.
