The Bachelor franchise faces an overhaul now that Grant Ellis' season is over
https://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...ership-changes
"As the curtain closes on Season 29, The Bachelor franchise has a bad case of formula fatigue, facing a cloudy future after being rocked by a stream of misfires and controversies, including lackluster love stories, sloppy vetting, insensitive handling of contestants of color, charges of traumatizing contestants and, most recently, leadership upheaval," says the Los Angeles Times' Greg Braxton. "When it premiered in 2002, the reality dating series was considered a novel concept, attracting millions of viewers at its peak. But despite maintaining a loyal base of Bachelor Nation fans during its more than two decades on air, the franchise has failed to keep pace with cultural shifts and fast-moving social trends. Now, in the wake of a streaming revolution which has transformed how we watch television, and a new stable of provocative and sexy competitors, the show has been bounced from the ranks of elite reality series."
