Former Bachelor Franchise - Leads - Contestants - Random Sleuthing Discussion

Well that's interesting. If they are going to go that far, why not 55+. It should be interesting to see the contestants.

OMG this will be a hoot to watch! So now the Bachelor franchise will have Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in paradise, Bachelor winter games, The new Music related love show and now seniors? WOW

Being a "senior" myself, I would not touch that show with a ten-foot pole. I just could not bear watching seniors making fools of themselves; one would think older folks would have more sense. JMHO.

Ditto.

No need for the drama in my peaceful life.

"If you are ready for a committed relationship..."

You know what, if it's taken you till age 65 to be ready for a relationship, might as well just continue hooking up with the hotties at your local Seniors Club and get a dog for companionship IMO.

Brand extensions can damage the original brand and I think the franchise is close to it.

Agreed. I feel things are going badly post-Elan. I don't know if it was just him personally keeping things in check, but it's hard not to notice a correlation imo. I don't know how powerful he was bts.

@Bobette she's on her way!

All of these spinoffs in such a short timeframe fascinate me. I'd just love to know the reason behind multiple new shows in 2020. Any chance that the original series is in jeopardy of nonrenewal due to the BTS turmoil of the past year or so? Would they maybe transition Ben Higgins in as host of The Bachelor or one of these other shows now that Chris has numerous hosting gigs? Ben always seemed like he wanted Chris' job, and Chris in turn mentored him, imo.

I would love to watch Seniors fall in love. Maybe it will be totally different from the 20-somethings version and really refreshing sans drama.

All of CH's hosting gigs are now bachelor related.  His millionaire gig is over. The show was cancelled last year but then when it was brought back for a limited run, Jimmy Fallon is the host.
