'The Bachelor' ends controversial season with ratings high

ABC NEWS, AP, KAPP-KVEW STAFF,

“The Bachelor” ended a season that had as much drama off the set as on with its biggest audience of the year. Last Monday's finale also marked the final appearance of longtime host Chris Harrison — at least for awhile. It was announced last month that Harrison would step away after being criticized for defending a contestant who had appeared in racially-insensitive photos. He later apologized. The season was pre-taped, but he was replaced on the “After the Final Rose” special by Emmanuel Acho. Two former contestants, Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe, will host the upcoming season of “The Bachelorette.”

The 90-second montage, set to Hugh Jackman singing the song “Once Before I Go,” is a lighthearted and laughter-filled remembrance showing Trebek’s changing look through his 36 years as host. It shows Trebek with moustache and without, dancing and verbally sparring with contestants. It ends with Trebek saying “so long” to viewers through the decades.
