"Will You Accept This Rose?"
The Bachelor / Bachelorette franchise has run since 2002. The math says: most winners get a hometown date AND at least one 1-on-1 AND the lead's mom likes them. This calculator runs the numbers on your odds.
How to Use This Calculator
Hometowns reached. 0 = eliminated early. 4 = final 4.
1-on-1 dates received. 0 = group dates only. 3+ = clear front-runner.
Age vs. lead. Same age, +5 years, -10 years.
Mom's opinion. Loves you / lukewarm / hostile.
The Formula
score = (hometowns × 25) + (one-on-ones × 15) + age_factor + mom_factor − 30
probability = 1 / (1 + exp(-score / 12))
