Could This Be The Beginning Of The End?
People have been speculating for years now about the end of theBachelorfranchise, as couple after couple have broken up across theBacheloruniverse.The postponement ofThe Bacheloretteand the firing of the crew proves that the franchise is in shambles. Their few success stories in recent years (The Bachelorseason 27’s Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar,The Bacheloretteseason 20’s Charity Lawson and Dotun Olubeko,The Bachelorseason 28’s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson, andThe Golden Bachelorette’sJoan Vassos and Chock Chapple) don’t outweigh the many failures.
The Bachelor Season 29’s Focus On Drama Is Making Grant Ellis Look Bad (Will It Ruin The Season For Everyone?)
The Bachelor S29 has been focused on the drama among the women, but it’s only making Grant Ellis look bad, and it could ruin everyone’s experiences.
While it seems unlikely that theBachelorfranchise will ever completely be a thing of the past, it can’t continue in its current state. The most problematic aspect of each of the shows is the expectation of an engagement at the end. A change in the format of the series could save the franchise, and the producers should strongly consider it.Otherwise, theBachelorfranchise could soon be handing out its final rose.
