‘Golden Bachelor’ Spinoff Likely After HUGE Ratings?
The Golden Bachelor generated new interest in the Bachelor Nation dating shows on ABC. The reported good ratings might make fans assume that other spinoffs and a second season of the show are set in concrete. But are they? Read on to find out.
The Golden Bachelor Scandal Affects Spinoffs?
Gerry Turner picked up some bad publicity when an ex-girlfriend accused him of being terrible to her. Arriving when it did, right at the finale of the show, it seemed all too convenient. So, some Bachelor Nation fans kept their heads on an even keel. Still, people do rip into him on social media. That’s also because he worked after retiring, which countered his claims on the show.
Fans of The Golden Bachelor feared that no Bachelorette would happen because of the scandal. However, scandal and drama get people talking, which mostly seems to increase the rating on reality TV. So, the spinoff might come along in the future. After all, it’s certainly not the first-ever scandal to come out of Bachelor Nation.
Bachelor Nation Spinoffs Likely After Good Ratings?
People want The Bachelorette for more mature women. In fact, many people thought that Faith Martin might be chosen. Now that no word arrived about a Golden Bachelorette or a Golden Bachelor in Paradise, ABC fans have started to fear the worst. According to Deadline, “over 9M” people watched Gerry Turner’s finale. Notably, it’s the ABC “franchise’s best audience in almost four years.”
With the ratings success of The Golden Bachelor, where is the announcement about new spinoffs? The audience wants them, and so does Jesse Palmer. However, it’s not his decision to make. The outlet mentioned the wedding between Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist. It’s been a long time since a wedding special was considered on the show. But, does that mean automatically bringing in Golden Bachelorette?
All Ages Expansion?
Deadline explained that “ABC and Warner Horizon are…eyeing how the franchise can expand to include contestants of all ages, rather than continuing to skew toward people in their 20s and early 30s.” That doesn’t mean no Bachelorette follows The Golden Bachelor. For example, the outlet cited “Warner Bros. Unscripted TV’s Co-Head of Programming and Development Bridgette Theriault,” as saying that Golden Bachelor spinoffs would be awesome.
However, “Disney TV unscripted chief Rob Mills cautions that the network will have to “thoughtfully consider” its next moves.”
What are your thoughts? Do you hope that somebody somewhere makes an announcement soon? What are your thoughts about shows for people of all ages?
