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 targeted Monday podcast. And that’s as a result of we acquired some late breaking information on the Friday dump. Oh yeah, by the way in which, no bachelorette this season.
We’ll focus on 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 slightly extra weight now. We’ll get to all that momentarily. Normally when information breaks on Friday afternoon, meaning somebody is making an attempt to cover one thing and making an attempt to not put a number 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 masking it. So whereas it was weird that this information even got here down, much more weird that it got here down on Friday night time, Anyway, I’m positive you’ve heard by now, ABC introduced that there can 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 meaning.
What we do know is that this. On a traditional capturing schedule, the Bachelorette will begin filming proper when the Bachelorette season stops airing. Grant season, despite the fact that we don’t know the episodes mapped out by the tip of the yr, or by the tip of this season, we all know it’s going to complete across the second or third week of March.
And often the tip 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 can be no new season of the bachelorette this summer time. Whereas it airs, usually, um, the bachelorette often airs in the summertime. ABC says they’re not going to comply with that sample they usually haven’t mentioned when it’s returning.
They’ve mentioned it’s not canceled. The explanation we don’t know but, we’ll get into these in slightly bit, however what we do know is we’ve all the time recognized. And it’s superb as a result of I acquired so many messages despatched to me. Why did this occur? Does this imply they’re bringing again Bachelor in Paradise? It’s like, you realize, I suppose 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 believe 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 informed that folks have been listening to Bachelor in Paradise was going to be filmed in Might.
And I’m like, properly, that’s sort of bizarre as a result of The Bachelorette is filmed in Might or continues to be filming in Might. Picks up, begins filming in March. And often goes by in regards to 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 only 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 night time that the Bachelorette isn’t going to, isn’t going to be round at the very least in the summertime. And I’m like, okay, properly 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 happening to paradise, sure, slightly extra incentive to hit the fitness center and never even going over on the highest of my head, who could possibly be the opposite folks.
We’re not going to sit down right here and break down who’s going to get solid. Trigger we don’t know. And the opposite factor is we all know what they’ve finished in previous seasons and it involves paradise and casting. You aren’t formally a bachelor in paradise solid member. Actually till you stroll down the steps, you can signal a contract, you can undergo all of your testing, you can be flown out to Mexico or wherever it might be, however 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 have been flown out to Mexico and sat in a resort for 2 weeks and simply by no means introduced all the way down to the seaside as a result of manufacturing couldn’t consider a storyline to provide them.
It’s occurred earlier than, it’ll occur once more. So. Simply since you would possibly hear any individual’s happening there doesn’t imply they may. Now, for folks like Jonathan and Hakeem and, you realize, 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 folks on the perimeter which can be like, they have 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 discuss 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 realize on the place it’s being filmed. Perhaps it’s nonetheless being filmed in Mexico they usually’re simply going to decide on a distinct resort or perhaps they’re going to do one thing utterly totally different someplace else. No person is aware of but. The place they’re filming, at the very least no one’s reported but the place they’re filming.
And if I hear something, uh, I’ll actually let you realize on that. One query that lots of people have is, properly, when was this determined? And from every part that I’ve heard, it was determined very just lately. Now, once we get to Mike Fleiss’s tweets, I’ll focus on what very just lately 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 operating. Straight out of a break saying, if you wish to apply for the bachelorette, go right here, they wouldn’t do this within the first two episodes. In the event that they knew for positive, they have been placing the present on pause.
You can say like, properly, there, are you doing it for future seasons? No, they might have simply not run that proper now as a result of there’s no motive to, if you realize, you’re not operating it. And it’s in all probability a very good guess. They’re not operating it in 2025 as a result of a number of it doesn’t make sense to go bachelor. Let’s do.
Bachelor in paradise. And we do know, and at the very least 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’ll go bachelor bachelor in paradise, golden bachelor, after which run bachelorette.
What subsequent later this yr, October by December, since you’d have to decide on a distinct night time. Trigger Monday night time soccer, you’ll have too many dates the place Monday night time soccer is operating a sport on ABC on Monday nights, and the present must transfer it to a distinct night time and their flagship exhibits, their two greatest exhibits are bachelor and bachelorette rankings smart.
These aren’t going to get moved. They’ll transfer golden bachelor to a distinct night time. They’ll transfer golden bachelorette to a distinct night time. 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 until I believe didn’t Michelle season have a pair wonky dates, however you bought to recollect Michelle season was the second bachelorette season of that exact calendar yr, 2021.
So I’m simply speaking a few one bachelorette. Calendar yr season will not be getting moved off of Monday nights. So I, my guess is it’s not canceled. I do know all people thinks it may be canceled due to rankings or no matter. I believe they’re simply seeking to do a reset and simply serious about what they’re going to do sooner or later.
However I don’t assume it’s canceled. I do assume what the press launch mentioned is correct. It was paused and will probably be introduced again in all probability 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 must. So that’s the place we’re at with.
The logistics of it by way of timing, not essentially location. So perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned the phrase logistics. There’s rather a lot to additionally break down right here. And I need to get to that in a second.
