The Bachelor (Brazilian TV series)
The Bachelor, also known as The Bachelor: Em Busca do Grande Amor was a Brazilian reality television series, based on the American television series of the same name, which premiered November 21, 2014 on RedeTV!. The show features 44-year-old Italian businessman, Gianluca Perino, courting 25 women.
The series concluded on February 20, 2015 in which 28-year-old gastronomy student Aane Doux was named the winner. However, the couple announced their break up four months after the show aired.
On July 31, 2017, Aane revealed that the entire show was a lie and she and Gianluca were never in a real relationship as he already had a girlfriend during the entire time of filming. She also announced that she was suing RedeTV! claiming that they had not fulfilled her contract, which provided that the winner of The Bachelor would be hired for a year to be a presenter or reporter for the network.
