Reality TV star and fan favorite Jennifer Schefft gets a second chance at love in the third installment of "The Bachelorette", as ABC's hit romance reality series returns on a new night with a two-hour special premiere. This season "The Bachelorette" says goodbye to the beaches of Southern California and hello to the streets of the Big Apple, as New York becomes the exciting new location for the hit series.

Then, Jen and seven of the men get the VIP treatment at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. On the other group date, Jen and some of the guys get a view of Manhattan high above the streets aboard a double-decker bus, and then enjoy an evening at sea on a harbor cruise. The competition heats up, as Jen must eliminate nearly half the men, going from 15 to eight, on "The Bachelorette", MONDAY, JANUARY 17 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
The men begin to show their true colors as Jen tours the city with the first group of them, all vying for some one-on-one time.
