Many Bachelor The nation’s fans were hoping for a Golden Bachelor in Paradise season, but they should be careful what they wish for because it could be the worst decision for the franchise. After Gerry Turner’s popularity Golden Bachelor season and Joan Vassos Golden Single season, many fans wanted to see the beloved contestants from both shows come together to find love in a senior version of Paradise.
However, Bachelor in Paradise has fought so hard that nor returned for season 10 in 2024. After every couple from seasons 8 and 9 broke up, whether they were dating or engaged, it became clear that the show needed a break. The format clearly doesn’t work anymore, so it’s hard to believe it would be appropriate for Golden’s competitors. Here’s why Golden Bachelor in Paradise should never happen.
Golden Bachelor In Paradise may have a lot of producer interference
Bachelor Franchise Producers Cannot Be Trusted
One of the biggest problems Bachelor in Paradise he was the amount of producer interference in the program. In an attempt to create drama, the producers manipulated the contestants, putting them in uncomfortable situations. In season 8, men and women were divided into different houses while new contestants were added to the show. This took away precious time, especially with potential commitments looming in just a few weeks.
Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 also brought unnecessary drama through bartender Wells Adams’ Truth Box, in which contestants sent secret messages about each other, Hannah Brown’s campfire, which asked them to reveal uncomfortable truths, and Katie Thurston’s comedy, in which they insulted each other. It is not surprising that all couples from seasons 8 and 9, whether engaged or dating, broke up after the show.
All these events contrasted sharply with previous Bachelor in Paradise seasons, in which the contestants were left alone to get to know each other without interference from the producer. It’s no surprise that Season 7 led to four weddings, including Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt, Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin, Thomas Jacobs and Becca Kufrin, and Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer. Furthermore, Chris Conran and Alana Milne are engaged.
THE Bachelor franchise producers cannot be trusted not to interfere in a possible Golden Bachelor in Paradise season, and no one wants to see that. Golden’s competitors are very precious and deserve better than to be subjected to ridiculous, high school-like games. They do not deserve to be reduced to pawns in the Bachelor in Paradise producer games.
Golden Bachelor In Paradise contestants will struggle with logistics
Older contestants are not willing to move
The Golden Bachelor ended in disaster when Gerry and Theresa Nist announced they were divorcing just three months after the televised Golden Wedding. They explained that they still loved each other, but they couldn’t decide where to live because none of them wanted to leave their family. Gerry lives in Hudson, Indiana, while Theresa lives in Shrewsbury, New Jersey. They even discussed moving to Charleston, South Carolina, but the plan never came to fruition.
When Joan started her Golden Single season, she made it clear that she would never leave her family. It is very difficult for people in the older generation to abandon their families, including their parents, children and grandchildren, along with their established careers. Golden Bachelor in Paradise would bring together people from all over the United States, but their relationships may not last beyond Paradise because they wouldn’t be willing to move on after the show. Long-distance relationships are difficult, and they get even more difficult as people get older.
Golden Bachelor In Paradise will have a limited number of contestants
There were only two golden seasons
Gerry Golden Bachelor season had 22 contestants, while Joan’s season had 24. Since Gerry and Theresa are now single, they could potentially be Golden Bachelor in Paradise contestants, then, assuming Joan has found love with someone, this would leave a total of 46 possible contestants for the show. It’s likely that not all contestants will want to participate in the spin-off series, so there will be a very limited number of potential cast members, compared to Bachelor in Paradisewhich has hundreds of previous competitors to choose from.
Unfortunately, as there were only two golden seasons, contestants run the risk of being overexposed, which can cause viewers to get tired of seeing them on screen. THE Golden Bachelor contestants are everywhere on ABC, from giving advice on Joey Graziadei Bachelor season to compete in Celebrity family fight to be Dancing with the stars audience members.
Furthermore, the group is very limited because There simply aren’t enough competitors to make a Golden Bachelor in Paradise new and exciting season. Perhaps the program could use the idea of Bachelor in Paradise Canada of casting fans in addition to alumni of the shows, to have a larger pool of contestants.
Golden Bachelor In Paradise would focus more on friendships than romance
Gold competitors have developed close relationships with each other
The Golden Bachelor the contestants formed strong friendships during their time on the show. The same thing happened during The golden bachelorette. It would be very difficult for them to once again have to compete with each other for a romantic partner now that they have developed such strong bonds. It’s easy to imagine this the show would become more about their friendships than finding love. That wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but it’s not the original purpose of the show.
Golden Bachelor in Paradise initially it seemed like a fantastic idea and the next logical step in the Golden franchise. However, a closer look reveals that the show will likely end in disaster. Perhaps a better idea would be to create a series about the contestants’ life experiences, following their lives as seniors. The Golden contestants have brought so much hope and inspiration to so many people and deserve more than Golden Bachelor in Paradise.
