Santa Fe Eyes Wooing 'The Bachelor' To Town

The city of Santa Fe is trying to get its hands on the "The Bachelor" and it may shell out some money for the mission.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that councilors are expected Wednesday to consider a request to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 from Tourism Santa Fe's reserve budget in an effort to attract the popular ABC-TV dating show.

Officials want the show to film one of next season's episodes in Santa Fe.

The New Mexico Department of Tourism has already agreed to a letter of intent to commit $50,000 to the effort.

"The Bachelor," which debuted in 2002, revolves around an eligible bachelor who goes on a series of dates to narrow his choice of a potential bride from a pool of 25 women down to one.
