Telly’s Take

Bachelor in Paradise debuted to positive numbers, helps keep the Bachelor franchise in front of the public, and the show is likely fairly inexpensive to produce. As long as ABC has room on its summer schedule next year, I’m sure this series will be back. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page as needed.
