That would be unfortunate because its the best of the three shows. I wonder how that would change the dynamic of the casts though. I feel like so much of the fun in watching is getting to know the people for paradise.

I would be shocked. If they were going to cancel it, they would have done so after the disastrous Corinne season. I think they’re interpreting Bachelor over-saturation with a desire to cut one show out altogether, when it really was just too much Bachelor over the last year. 

My theory? The main conversation thread about Bachelor the past few months is how boring and oversaturated it is. I think this is their way of re-engaging the community — threatening to cancel the franchise favorite is one way to get people feeling the love again. 

UGH BIP is way better than the actual seasons. They do need a better mix of people, maybe bring in some people from older seasons?

I'm kind of surprised because, while I don't know what the numbers look like, the fan response always seems so positive re: BIP! People love it! We look forward to it! Maybe that's just my friend group, but we'll be so devestated if it doesn't return! 

I hope it’s not true BIP feels like summer

Have you guys seen the rumors about BIP being over? I follow a couple of big IG fan accounts and it's everywhere.  My heart literally stopped when I read that. I freaking love BIP. 

I guess Reality Steve had predicted that it may be done back in October due it not doing well last season, which is actually surprising to me because the Brendan and Piper drama was amazing. But then another person who works for a TV network replied saying that it's not on the schedule 😳. And then Mike Fleiss deleted a tweet about it and now I'm freaking out.
