The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Social Media - Vids - Media - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

AP rivaled one of the worst shows I have ever seen and can only account it working out because it was summer and people were busy doing other things.

I have no desire to watch an "After" show each week for the bach or 'ette.  The AFTR and M/WTN are bad enough and that's just 1 hour total, not 1 hour each week!  Plus, if they did a weekly after show, there would be absolutely no need for the M/WTN or AFTR...  now that might be the only benefit of having them.     

And if an After show takes the place of Castle, I will not be happy!

I think CH is just giving this franchise way to much credit with that. After Paradise works right now because it's summer and ABC doesn't have anything else to air.

Who is going to care about the first handful of contestants that were let go, or the first 20 for that matter.

We have devoted members following the show for years that have lost interest in the premise and/or cast, so I would hope they would divert from senseless over kill.

Yep.  I agree it's terrible programming.  AP is dirt cheap to produce, and that's probably the most attractive thing to ABC/Mills about it.

No no, not an after show!  Rather than waste the 2 hour program with all the silly drama, they should allow the viewers to get to know the contestants better.  I rather see the on-screen chemistry between Ben and the individual cast members than view the endless drama clips, crying fits and the "black boxes" on someone's hiny.  CH should spend time interviewing the girls during the show rather than "after the show".  Quantity is not quality.  JMO.  

While I don't really think they'd knock Castle out of its slot on Monday, at that time of year they always seem to be trying something out on Tuesday.... and there have been "The Bachelor Tells All" type hours on a couple of season. I could see them finding a spot on Tuesday. 3 hours of the Bachelor on one night for more than one night (the finale) would be way too much.

"After Paradise" is amazingLY AWFUL!!!!
It shouldn't be because it has celebrity guests, extra footage, more time with cast members, viewer interaction(polls and call ins) BUT it is the most amazingLY AWFUL talk show EVER
IMO it is outclassed by amateur & pro podcasters and even Dana Weiss in her sweatshirt looking down at her tablet recapping on Periscope. The problem IMO are both Jenny & CH.  They just aren't good interviewers. It's just Blah.
If they want to do an after show for TB they need a different host or hosts and they can do it as a web series. That might make it worth the watch.
Ditch the hosts, keep the format, change the platform.

I AM SO HAPPY HE'S THE BACHELOR.

Hopefully they won't split the Bachelor between Sunday & Monday like they did BIP. It's possible that Castle may have a shortened season if it ends up being it's last but I'd rather watch Castle than an after show. I don't mind the after show but it's really not necessary for TB imo. I actually like Jenny and her questions but don't see the need for the guest fans.

We made it. @taylorswift you made me a swifty tonight and life will officially never be the same again. #onwardsandupwards by @higgins.ben
