"It will be a finale unlike any other in Bachelor history as Colton's exploration to find a lifetime of happiness and his soul mate comes to a close with the astonishing live, two-night [finale]," ABC teases.

Colton will be live in the studio with The Bachelor host Chris Harrison on both nights of the finale to share his feelings and commentary on footage as it airs.

ABC says the ending of Colton's journey will be "gut-wrenching," as there is a possibility his biggest fear of falling in love but ending up alone may come true.

most controversial and memorable bachelorettes from this season," ABC teases of The Bachelor: The Women Tell All.

The Bachelor is heading into its sixth episode next week, and only 12 women remain in the running for Colton's heart.
