Now that you're a few weeks in, how do you think After Paradise is going?
Chris Harrison: The last two weeks especially were the way the shows were intended to be, and we've finally found our formula and hit our stride. There was a weird balancing act between what we love about the "Tell All" and "After the Final Rose" and the novelty of the talk show format. So, there was a marriage that needed to happen, and I just wasn't sure [how it would go]. There are also things that won't get serviced if you wait for the big reunion show, like Dan and Ashley S. [Their break-up] wasn't that big of a deal, but I wanted to talk to them about it. So, the fun thing is to watch the show and come up with the things [Jenny Mollen and I] really want to talk about. I can cover a lot more that we wouldn't be able to if we just waited. This is a grand experiment and a guinea pig for the big show, but with the success, I can't imagine this wouldn't carry over to Bachelor or Bachelorette.

Did you see where Chris Harrison said in a recent TVGuide.com interview that “After Paradise” is working and he basically sees this experiment moving over to the “Bachelor” franchise? I can see them doing it because just look at the decent sized audience “After Paradise” is getting on a summer show. It would get more during the “Bachelor.” I’m just confused on when they would do it. I know “Castle” has been picked up for another season, and that usually runs right after the “Bachelor” in January. So when would they have time to fit in an hour “After Paradise” show? I’m not sure, but expect this show to continue during the “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” seasons.
