The Bachelor has come a long way since it premiered in 2002. The show kicked off its 20th season this month, introducing a ton of lovely ladies to the new leading man, Ben Higgins. Those of us who have been watching this whole time can attest to the fact that the show has changed a lot since newly crowned host Chris Harrison first set up businessman Alex Michel. There aren't a ton of pictures from that first season, but man, it's worth looking at the ones that do exist. Take a trip down memory lane with the pictures here!

Here's Michel with his winner, Amanda Marsh, at the premiere of Spider-Man. Yes, the first Spider-Man. That's how long ago this was. Sad news: they only lasted a few months.

This is the real money-maker shot. Not only does it foreshadow the hundreds of headshots that will eventually come out of the show, but Michel and Harrison look dweeby as all get out. How is this only 14 years ago?
