Bachelor in Paradise fans adore the show because they get to see many of their favorite stars reappear after their seasons end. But, rumors suggest the cancellation of the ABC spinoff in 2024. While Ashley Iaconetti believes the poor success rate in Season 9 was an anomaly, salvaging the show might need a hard reset.

ABC Fans Hoped For A Golden Bachelor In Paradise

Rumors can often be shrugged off, but when they come from Reality Steve, most people think the outcome might be accurate. Actually, he’s seldom wrong about the ABC franchise. While he emphasized that the spinoff ending is just a rumor, he feels that 2024 won’t happen. Naturally, fans check for clues to show that it might not end.

After Golden Bachelor, fans started calling for a Golden Bachelor in Paradise. Additionally, they hope for a Golden Bachelorette. With a casting call out for another Golden Bachelor, that might not leave room for a renewal of the original BIP. After the disappointing season in 2023 and the massive ratings for Gerry Turner’s season, things look bleak for a renewal of BIP.

Saving BIPĀ  With A Hard Reset

Some ever-hopeful fans want The Golden Bachelorette. But at the same time, they also hope that by some miracle, the execs at ABC give BIP another chance. On Reddit, options were discussed by the OP and in the comments.

…I think it still could work. Again with changes to producing…maybe removing the engagement aspect – where people are allowed to just leave in happy enduring relationships. Iā€™d be overjoyed to watch my favorites return to the beach to date each other with new people coming down every week and people going home. That is drama in itself…

Plenty of other ideas arrived in the discussion. Hopefully, Bachelor in Paradise producers might see something and decide on a revamp.

  • Iā€™d love a hard reset. Change of scenery, all newbies to paradise, no elimination for at least a couple weeks. Maybe an opportunity to ā€œwinā€ a rose to stay for another chance at love even if you donā€™t have a match. I want all the players to be less desperate to cling to one person right away. We need more dates, more date footage, compete for date cards.
  • Ooo I like that idea of no elimination for a couple of weeks. Very 4TRR. Helps remove the need to couple up immediately, let people play the field a bit. And people donā€™t get used/hurt in the process.
  • BRING BACK BACHELOR PAD! šŸ‘šŸ» I think it is still good for them to have a second-chance show with cast members from the main game. They need to completely rethink it in my opinion. There is too much competition with love island and perfect match. The formula is broken- everyone wants to find someone and stick it out to the end to ā€˜winā€™ so no one will actually date and be open minded. The producing has been atrocious. They need a new concept!

What are your thoughts? Do you believe that Bachelor in Paradise needs a hard reset? Or, should the execs at ABC bring back Bachelor Pad? Sound off in the comments below, and come back here for all your Bachelor Nation news.

  1. Bring back BIP. Please just love that show. And if you’re doing golden bachelorette bring Susan to do it. She’s a hoot. Beautiful open and honest.
