May 19--Chicagoans interested in appearing on "The Bachelor" can apply in person when the ABC dating show hosts a casting call in the city this summer. The casting call is scheduled for July 11 at the Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago hotel, which is the same hotel where the show hosted a casting call last July.
Applicants must be 21 or older and, in case it's not obvious, single. Both men and women are encouraged to attend.
The current season of "The Bachelorette" premiered Monday with three Chicagoland contestants competing on the show, including Batavia High School alum Clint Arlis, who received the first one-on-one date. On last season's "Bachelor," Iowa farmer Chris Soules chose Highland Park nurse Whitney Bischoff during the final rose ceremony.
