You’re listening to the Every day Roundup right here as a part of the Actuality Steve podcast. I’m your host, Actuality Steve. Thanks all for tuning in on this Monday. A really Bachelor Bachelorette centered Monday podcast. And that’s as a result of we received some late breaking information on the Friday dump. Oh yeah, by the best way, no bachelorette this season.
We’ll talk about all of that. Gen trans X Matt Rossi says, yeah, I didn’t pay for that journey to go see her in wherever it was, New Zealand. And likewise Mike Fleiss’s tweets from a pair weeks in the past that I introduced up on the time. They might maintain just a little extra weight now. We’ll get to all that momentarily. Often when information breaks on Friday afternoon, which means somebody is making an attempt to cover one thing and making an attempt to not put lots of consideration on it as a result of most information desks have left for the weekend on Friday.
So there’s not lots of people overlaying it. So whereas it was weird that this information even got here down, much more weird that it got here down on Friday evening, Anyway, I’m positive you’ve heard by now, ABC introduced that there will probably be no new season of The Bachelorette. Now, as a result of this present has a horrible time ever coping with transparency, we don’t essentially know what which means.
What we do know is that this. On a standard capturing schedule, the Bachelorette will begin filming proper when the Bachelorette season stops airing. Grant season, regardless that we don’t know the episodes mapped out via the top of the yr, or via the top of this season, we all know it’s going to complete across the second or third week of March.
And often the top of that week is when the Bachelorette would begin filming. What we do know is, That’s not occurring now. They’ve introduced that there will probably be no new season of the bachelorette this summer time. Whereas it airs, sometimes, um, the bachelorette often airs in the summertime. ABC says they’re not going to observe that sample they usually haven’t stated when it’s returning.
They’ve stated it’s not canceled. The rationale we don’t know but, we’ll get into these in just a little bit, however what we do know is we’ve all the time recognized. And it’s superb as a result of I received so many messages despatched to me. Why did this occur? Does this imply they’re bringing again Bachelor in Paradise? It’s like, you recognize, I assume lots of people don’t take note of the information or they’ll’t pay attention each day However we’ve recognized Bachelor in Paradise is coming again this summer time since final yr.
I imply they introduced it I feel final September we knew it was returning this summer time So from every part that I’ve heard and what’s humorous is on Friday afternoon About, I don’t know, six or eight hours earlier than this information broke, I used to be advised that individuals had been listening to Bachelor in Paradise was going to be filmed in Might.
And I’m like, nicely, that’s sort of bizarre as a result of The Bachelorette is filmed in Might or remains to be filming in Might. Picks up, begins filming in March. And often goes via concerning the first week or week and a half of Might. So why would you movie Bachelor in Paradise so shut? And I used to be similar to, perhaps they simply misheard.
Perhaps it’s not, perhaps it was finish of Might. It was going to select up and begin filming. After which there’s information breaks on Friday evening that the Bachelorette isn’t going to, isn’t going to be round not less than in the summertime. And I’m like, okay, nicely now that is smart of why I heard eight hours in the past, Bachelorette’s filming.
All proper. Bachelor in Paradise is filming finish of April, starting of Might is what I heard. So I used to be like, okay, so now that is smart. We all know we’re getting bachelor in paradise this summer time. It simply means one much less group of individuals to select from as an alternative of whoever this bachelorette was going to be as an alternative of her males.
Now we simply have grants, girls going again to final yr, charities, males, and going again to final yr within the bachelor season, Joey’s girls. In order that’s the place a majority of your contestants are going to be from. Look, simply based mostly on Jen’s. After the ultimate rose, we all know that Jonathan goes to be on Bachelor in Paradise.
We all know that Hakeem goes to be on Bachelor in Paradise. And I gotta imagine Jeremy goes to be on Bachelor in Paradise. Assuming he’s single within the subsequent couple months earlier than they go movie. Which I noticed Jeremy placing up exercise movies on his Instagram story yesterday. So I’m not saying he’s not allowed to work out, but when he is aware of he’s taking place to paradise, sure, just a little extra incentive to hit the fitness center and never even going over on the highest of my head, who may very well be the opposite individuals.
We’re not going to take a seat right here and break down who’s going to get forged. Trigger we don’t know. And the opposite factor is we all know what they’ve carried out in previous seasons and it involves paradise and casting. You aren’t formally a bachelor in paradise forged member. Actually till you stroll down the steps, you possibly can signal a contract, you possibly can undergo all of your testing, you possibly can be flown out to Mexico or wherever it might be, nevertheless it doesn’t imply you’re on the present till you stroll down as a result of we all know there have been contestants who had been flown out to Mexico and sat in a resort for 2 weeks and simply by no means introduced right down to the seaside as a result of manufacturing couldn’t consider a storyline to present them.
It’s occurred earlier than, it’ll occur once more. So. Simply since you would possibly hear anyone’s taking place there doesn’t imply they are going to. Now, for individuals like Jonathan and Hakeem and, you recognize, if somebody like Maria desires to do Paradise, after all she’s gonna get on and people guys are gonna get on. I’m simply saying for individuals on the perimeter which are like, they had been on perhaps three or 4 episodes, they weren’t actually massive on their Bachelor or Bachelorette season, yeah, there’s a risk that they’re not getting on even when they’re flown to Mexico.
So we did speak about Mexico. I say Mexico as a result of that’s the place it was filmed for the primary, what, eight, 9 seasons. We don’t know the place it’s filming subsequent season as a result of it’s not being filmed in Sayulita the place that they had filmed all the opposite ones as a result of that property was offered they usually have simply chosen to not renew their contract with Bachelor Nation.
So if I hear something, I’ll let you recognize on the place it’s being filmed. Perhaps it’s nonetheless being filmed in Mexico they usually’re simply going to decide on a special resort or perhaps they’re going to do one thing utterly totally different some place else. No one is aware of but. The place they’re filming, not less than no person’s reported but the place they’re filming.
And if I hear something, uh, I’ll actually let you recognize on that. One query that lots of people have is, nicely, when was this determined? And from every part that I’ve heard, it was determined very not too long ago. Now, after we get to Mike Fleiss’s tweets, I’ll talk about what very not too long ago even means and what it may imply.
We’ve watched Grant’s season now for 2 episodes. Throughout each of the primary two episodes of Grant’s season, they’ve had commercials working. Straight out of a break saying, if you wish to apply for the bachelorette, go right here, they wouldn’t try this within the first two episodes. In the event that they knew for positive, they had been placing the present on pause.
You could possibly say like, nicely, there, are you doing it for future seasons? No, they’d have simply not run that proper now as a result of there’s no purpose to, if you recognize, you’re not working it. And it’s most likely an excellent wager. They’re not working it in 2025 as a result of lots of it doesn’t make sense to go bachelor. Let’s do.
Bachelor in paradise. And we do know, and not less than I do know for positive, we’ve talked about this on the podcast, they’re doing one other golden bachelor this yr and going again to season two of the golden bachelor. So I don’t assume you’d go bachelor bachelor in paradise, golden bachelor, after which run bachelorette.
What subsequent later this yr, October via December, since you’d have to decide on a special evening. Trigger Monday evening soccer, you’d have too many dates the place Monday evening soccer is working a recreation on ABC on Monday nights, and the present must transfer it to a special evening and their flagship exhibits, their two greatest exhibits are bachelor and bachelorette rankings sensible.
These aren’t going to get moved. They’ll transfer golden bachelor to a special evening. They’ll transfer golden bachelorette to a special evening. We’ve seen them transfer bachelor in paradise to totally different nights. They’re not transferring bachelor or bachelorette off Monday nights. It’s simply not going to occur except I feel didn’t Michelle season have a pair wonky dates, however you bought to recollect Michelle season was the second bachelorette season of that specific calendar yr, 2021.
So I’m simply speaking a couple of one bachelorette. Calendar yr season just isn’t getting moved off of Monday nights. So I, my guess is it’s not canceled. I do know everyone thinks it is perhaps canceled due to rankings or no matter. I feel they’re simply seeking to do a reset and simply occupied with what they’re going to do sooner or later.
However I don’t assume it’s canceled. I do assume what the press launch stated is correct. It was paused and it is going to be introduced again most likely in 2026. I simply don’t see them bringing it again in a while this yr. What could be the purpose of pausing it six months? There’s no have to. So that’s the place we’re at with.
The logistics of it when it comes to timing, not essentially location. So perhaps I shouldn’t have stated the phrase logistics. There’s lots to additionally break down right here. And I wish to get to that in a second.
