Q: How does the Bachelor/Bachelorette remember all of the contestants names at the rose ceremonies?
A: According to Ali Fedotowsky, the Bachelor or Bachelorette gets some help from the production team when it comes to making sure they say the right name.
Throughout the night a producer is never far from your side and constantly reminds you about everyones name. She (the producer) has flash cards with the pictures and names of every contestant. It is hard to remember everyone, even with the flash cards. Its all so overwhelming. the Bachelor/ette goes into the rose ceremony room and says a few names at a time and then leaves to get the next few names, she wrote on her E! Online blog.
Everyones nervous at their first rose ceremony, so we make it real easy for them, and we break [shooting] up into three to five people at a time, Chris Harrison said in a 2009 interview with E! Online. Then well stop, just to make sure we dont run into any mistakes. We dont want a [microphone] in his ear, we dont want cue cards, we want it as natural as possible.
In the early seasons, the Bachelors/Bachelorettes didnt have this helping hand. Every Bachelor fan remembers the shocking rose ceremony in which Bachelor Jesse Palmer accidentally said the wrong name of a girl. (I looked for the clip of that, but its strangely nowhere to be found!)
Jimmy Kimmel actually made a video, one season, of how many times the word "amazing" was said. I think it was up to 42 times. 
I kept looking at the plate the roses were on to see if the names were there or on the rose, but nothing. I can barely remember people that I meet daily, let along 25 guys in one night...
