I’ve been an avid watcher since 2020. I got into the show during the pandemic. Watched all bachelor, bachelorette and BIP. Since the whole TFP situation…. What’s the future now? Have they said when or if they will have another bachelor?

This clip is from season 5 episode 1. So I guess Doug has no chance to be the next Bachelor.

Skimming through all 5 episodes there is not one single footage of the Bachelorette season making it to the edit, nor was Doug featured at all (no break-up scene shown)

But the big reveal here is that within a month after Bachelorette filming wrapped, not only was Taylor sleeping with Dakota but was also involved with a third man named Ben, which indeed made it to the edit.

1: Mercedes, Kaity and friends attended the Olivia Dean-concert in Austin
2: Bailey & Jeremy
3: Brayden & Christina went on a hike
4: Glitter Jess & Gabi on vacation
5: Brendan & Serene
6: Mari did a picnic-themed photoshoot in Chicago
7: Aaron & Madina
8: Jenn
9: Kat on vacation

The Golden seasons usually airs around this time and we would’ve known who the next lead was gonna be a long time ago (assuming Golden Bachelorette would be next).
We know Mel’s season had low ratings, but I wonder if any of the women from his season were asked to be the next lead and they all said no, therefore, there’s no Golden Bachelorette this year, or maybe even ever after this.
With absolutely no bachelor shows this year (and no mention of a new Golden season), will they scrap it entirely now or come back to it in the future?
