The Bachelor franchise appears to be in a little bit of a transition interval proper now, with The Bachelorette being faraway from the 2025 TV schedule and staffers making poisonous office allegations in opposition to the chief producers. In the meantime, Bachelor in Paradise is about to return this yr, and massive adjustments are afoot there as properly. A brand new showrunner will lead Season 10, and I agree with one former contestant’s tackle rumors that Golden contestants shall be hitting the seashore.
When Bachelor in Paradise makes a triumphant return for Season 10, Scott Teti (EP of Declare to Fame, Summer time Home and extra) would be the showrunner, and in line with The Bachelor alums Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins, that allegedly means new producers, a brand new location and even a Golden twist. Iaconetti stated on their Nearly Well-known podcast:
We hear one thing loopy, guys. Freaking loopy. We hear that the Goldens are gonna be a part of it ultimately. I hope that once we hear this, it’s not them being like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna host dates.’ That might be lame. No, please have the Goldens courting in Paradise.
I agree 100%. The Golden Bachelor contestants have expressed curiosity in a Golden Paradise, and I feel it’s extra sensible to have them be part of their youthful counterparts reasonably than give them their very own spinoff. To that finish, if it’s true that the Golden solid members are concerned, it must be in a courting capability, not internet hosting a bunch exercise like a number of of Golden guys did with Grant Ellis’ promenade.
Location additionally must be factored in, as a result of some Goldens have already stated it’s acquired to be someplace with air-con. They don’t need the bugs within the beds, crabs in the bathroom, or the so-hot-you-sweat-your-boobs-off ambiance (though that did type of already occur to Joan Vassos). As for the place BIP Season 10 may happen, Ben Higgins weighed in with what his sources have stated:
I’ve been listening to the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico.
Simply to emphasise, none of that is official or confirmed info. The Nearly Well-known hosts are nonetheless linked to the franchise, however they’re nonetheless simply repeating rumors. Nevertheless, if true, it feels like shifting out of the Playa Escondida in Sayulita, Mexico, may be the choice of the resort, not the whim of the brand new showrunner. Ashley Iaconetti stated she’s heard rumors that:
The proprietor was like, ‘These new head producers? Not my fave, don’t love working with them. After I signed onto the present, I used to be working with these individuals, and now all these persons are gone, and I don’t like these new faces.’ In order that’s why they’ve modified places, as a result of the resort didn’t wish to work with manufacturing anymore.
This sounds to me just like the proprietor can be speaking in regards to the ousted EPs Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich and Bennett Graebner, who took over Bachelor in Paradise when Mike Fleiss left the franchise in 2023, as a result of the Playa Escondida wouldn’t have handled Season 10 showrunner Scott Teti but in that capability.
These rumors are fairly loopy and really thrilling, since I actually thought Bachelor in Paradise was due for an replace after a horrible ninth season. Hopefully over the following few months we’ll get some official information relating to the above subjects, in addition to if Jesse Palmer and Wells Adams will return.
