Colton Underwood Tries to Leave ‘The Bachelor’ in the Dramatic First Season 23 Trailer

Nov 20, 2018

It’s going to be a dramatic season for Colton Underwood. In the first trailer for season 23 of The Bachelor, we see the former NFL star crying, admitting he’s scared, and frustratedly trying to leave the show.

The trailer starts off with all of the women who will be vying for Underwood’s affection — three of whom Underwood has already met — watching him rinse off in an outdoor beach shower. “Colton looks so hot, I plan on rubbing oil all over his body,” one contestant says. Another screams, “He is literally like a chiseled god to me.”

From there, Underwood is shown speaking with host Chris Harrison about a personal detail that looks to be a big part of the season — his virginity. “I am a virgin,” Underwood says. “But that’s just a small part of who I am. I’m here to fall in love, so hopefully, by the end of this, I’m down on one knee.” The topic comes up again as many of the contestants bring up Underwood’s virginity in their confessionals.

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Bachelor without tears, and the trailer shows a lot of them. At one point, Underwood says through sobs that he’s scared and tired of being rejected, as we hear one contestant’s voiceover saying that she can’t accept a proposal. By the end of the trailer, the former NFL player is ready to be “done” with the show. He even jumps over a fence in order to get away from the cameras as Harrison calls after him.

Watch all the drama go down for yourself when The Bachelor season 23 premieres on Monday, January 7, 2019, on ABC.

8 “Old School” Desserts We’re Surprised To Still See In 2025

Some desserts are timeless classics (looking at you, cookies and brownies), while others have truly faded into nostalgia territory. From over-the-top gelatin molds to fruity treats that peaked decades ago, certain sweets just don’t have the same appeal they once did.

If you’ve ever wondered which desserts are clinging to the past (and which ones you should definitely reconsider making in today's age), it’s time to take a deliciously nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Scroll on for 8 "old school" desserts that have lost their sweet charm.

مآمثلي آحد / PEXELS

1. Baked Alaska

This extravagant dessert featuring ice cream encased in cake and meringue was once a total showstopper at fine dining establishments. However, its complexity along with the rise of simpler, more modern frozen desserts has led it to fade from the dessert zeitgeist. It’s also quite tricky to prepare at home yourself, requiring careful timing and a quick broil – all without melting the ice cream inside.

Spend With Pennies

2. Ambrosia

Ambrosia was a true staple of mid-century American potlucks. It’s essentially a fruit salad mixed with canned mandarin oranges, pineapples, marshmallows, and coconut, often held together with whipped cream or (shudders) mayonnaise. It has fallen out of favor due to its heavy reliance on processed ingredients and a shift toward fresher, less-sugary desserts.

Betty Crocker

3. Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Oh, so retro! This buttery cake prepped with caramelized pineapple rings and maraschino cherries on top was wildly popular in the 1950s and ‘60s, but isn’t too hot anymore since most dessert recipes these days tend to rely on less-processed, canned ingredients. At least it looks cool!

Allrecipes

4. Jell-O Salad

As another mid-century favorite, Jell-O salad combined flavored gelatin with a mix of fruits, marshmallows, and sometimes even vegetables like shredded carrots or olives (what the?!). Once an undeniable go-to for dinner parties and church potlucks, it’s now really seen as an oddity due to its artificial flavors, wobbly texture, and unconventional ingredient pairings.

5. Chess Pie

Chess Pie is a simple (and very sweet) Southern dessert made from eggs, sugar, butter, and vinegar or lemon juice. It also boasts a rich, custard-like filling! While it still has a niche following, it has been overshadowed by trendier, more visually appealing pies like salted caramel or chocolate silk.

6. Fruit Cake

There was once a time where you couldn’t go wrong with fruit cake. This holiday staple, oftentimes packed with candied fruits and nuts, has earned a reputation for being overly-dense and cloyingly sweet. It’s also commonly mocked for its long shelf life and dry texture, making it more of a novelty than an actual dessert.

Allrecipes

7. Watergate Salad

A wacky creation of the 1970s, this pastel-green dessert featured pistachio pudding mix, Cool Whip, crushed pineapple, marshmallows, and nuts. Though it was once pretty trendy for the times, its artificial flavors and processed ingredients make it feel super outdated in today’s era of more natural, whole-food desserts.

Markus Spiske / PEXELS

8. Rice Pudding

You don’t see this one too much anymore. While rice pudding was once pretty common, it has become eclipsed by trendier desserts like crème brûlée or mousse. Its soft, slightly mushy texture and simple ingredients may feel too plain for modern dessert lovers seeking more complex flavors and textures.

Mac Duggal

Multicolor Strapless Brocade Floral Gown With Ruffle Hem

This gorgeous little number just is spring, from the dainty bright colors to the beautiful flower detailing. Plus, the warmer weather is perfect for showing a little shoulder! This is definitely my favorite of the bunch.

Lulus

Nadra Light Blue Satin Jacquard One-Shoulder Maxi Dress

I've been obsessed with jacquard lately, and it works so well with this powder blue. The balance of the one shoulder and the side slit on either side of the dress adds the perfect symmetry to what may be considered asymmetrical look, too!

Anthropologie

BHLDN Selma Halter-Neck Satin Maxi Dress

Big fan of How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days? This is the dress for you. Plus, Timothée Chalamet reminded us how amazing butter yellow still looks on the Oscars red carpet this year!

Nordstrom

After Six Pleated Cap Sleeve Charmeuse Gown

Speaking of the Oscars red carpet, Andrew Garfield made brown look effortlessly chic on the carpet this year. (Am I taking my spring wedding guest dress inspiration from two guys? Yep — inspiration can come from anywhere, y'all!)

Anthropologie

BHLDN Tessa Halter V-Neck High-Shine Satin Maxi Dress

Sage green is seriously the perfect color for a spring soirée! I love the lily details down the front of the dress, and the satin fabric just looks so light and chic.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Twisted Shoulder Maxi Dress

Ever since I saw Meg in Hercules, I knew I wanted the perfect slouchy Greek-inspired dress. This Banana Republic maxi dress is giving all that and then some!

Mac Duggal

Mac Duggal Black Crepe Sleeveless Beaded V Neck Gown With Bow

I know black doesn't exactly exude spring, but I think the floral, beaded embellishments really take this dress there. As a New Yorker, I basically wear black all the time, so it's nice to have an option that actually suits the season!

Nordstrom

Adrianna Papell Foiled Trumpet Gown

Okay, you may think, "Hm...this is basically the butter yellow dress you dropped in above," but you would be wrong. The foiled pattern on this dress add a unique elegance to the look that definitely differentiates it from the other gown. Plus, a halter top is so springy — I can't help but have more than one in this roundup!

Lulus

Lulus Gemmi Light Blue Satin Jacquard Drop Waist Maxi Dress

Drop waist dresses are EVERYTHING right now. So pairing that with the light blue jacquard I already love so much? Yeah, you've got a real winner with this gown.

Anthropologie

V. Chapman Vera Ruffle-Strap Corset Side-Slit Midi Dress

Corsets are still very much in right now. I love how dainty and delicate this dress looks, while still being a darker navy blue. Again, it's giving a great option for the girlies who don't exactly love a spring pastel, but still wanna adopt a lighter feel to their look!

Abercrombie

The A&F Giselle Drop-Waist Maxi Dress

Butter yellow + a drop waist + a strapless neckline? That's a recipe for elegance you just can't pass up! I can totally picture dancing the night away in this stunning pleated skirt!
