What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the ABC television network, Bachelor in Paradise brings previous contestants of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette together under one roof in a tropical oasis in the town of Sayulita, located in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico. Contestants try to win a big cash prize — and maybe even finally find true love on television. Jesse Palmer serves as the host. In the eighth season, the cast includes franchise alumni Andrew Spencer, Brandon Jones, Brittany Galvin, Casey Woods, Genevieve Parisi, Hailey Malles, Hunter Haag, Jacob Rapini, Jill Chin, Johnny DePhillipo, Justin Glaze, Kira Mengistu, Lace Morris, Logan Palmer, Michael Allio, Romeo Alexander, Serene Russell, Shanae Ankney, Sierra Jackson, Teddi Wright, and Victoria Fuller.
 

Season Eight Ratings

On Monday nights, the eighth season of Bachelor in Paradise averaged a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.27 million viewers. Compared to season seven, that’s down by 45% in the demo and down by 31% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (which includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

On Tuesday nights, the eighth season of Bachelor in Paradise averaged a 0.56 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.37 million viewers. Compared to season seven, that’s down by 32% in the demo and down by 20% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (which includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though there can be other economic factors involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how Bachelor in Paradise stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew Bachelor in Paradise for season nine? The show is part of the successful Bachelor franchise and has performed well for the network in the past. For the first time, ABC is airing the season as part of the traditional fall schedule. The Bachelorette did well last fall, so why not? I have no doubt that Bachelor in Paradise will be renewed but future seasons may not air as part of the traditional network season again. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
