Fans have felt that The Bachelor franchise has been declining in recent seasons. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the show as well. After allegations of a hostile work environment and many producers leaving the franchise, there are new showrunners. Could these new showrunners create a celebrity version of The Bachelor entertaining enough to step in and save the franchise from extinction? Keep reading to find out more.
A Celebrity Spin-Off Of The Bachelor?
Having a celebrity spin-off of The Bachelor has been a topic that has been discussed many times throughout the years. Host Jesse Palmer has actually voiced support for this type of show in the past. Could it ever happen and would it even work?
Fans know that something needs to change to turn the franchise around. Aside from controversies that have arisen, there are also some contestants joining the show for clout rather than love. There have been a few celebrities who have taken on the leading role in the past.
Many fans feel like the franchise needs a facelift in how things are run overall. Most of the other reality competition shows involve doing tasks or winning money. Is this something they could somehow tie into The Bachelor?
Plus, there are other shows that do celebrity spin-offs, such as Big Brother. It’s possible that with the right celebrities cast, the show could draw in viewers and save the franchise from completely taking a nose dive.
Of course, there would have to most likely be a mixture of celebrities and fans to have enough participants to make it work. Then, there is also the big question of who is there for the right reasons? This has become a common saying throughout The Bachelor franchise. Every season, there tend to be a few who want to promote their name or brand more than find love.
Many of the former leads even go on to compete on Dancing With the Stars. Fans just saw Jenn Tran and Joey Graziadei compete. Graziadei actually took home the grand prize.
Is This A Feasible Option?
Anything is possible in reality television. So, if showrunners decide to give it a whirl, they may find great success in mixing things up a bit.
There are many celebrities who have been named as possibilities in the past to include Martha Stewart, Drew Barrymore and even Kim Kardashian.
The show has already made a few changes to the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise. The show will be filmed in Costa Rica, versus Mexico, where it has always been. Plus, producers are incorporating The Golden Bachelor cast into Paradise.
With new showrunners and producers, The Bachelor franchise could be missing out on a golden opportunity to revive the show before it’s too late. An overhaul and a spin-off might just be what the franchise needs.
How do you think a celebrity spin-off of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette would look? Would this be something you would watch?
