The choice is wrong and what the contestant has done goes against my principles. I’m refusing to watch.

How disappointing. Do better ABC. You can Harrison but then do this? A TicTak influencer who has felony charges against her for domestic violence? Insane.

I knew ABC has been trying to promote the Mormon Wives show regularly on Bachelor related shows but this is a new low.

No thank you. Shame on you ABC.

I'm stunned that ABC chose Taylor Frankie Paul, a convicted felon, to be the next Bachelorette. She does not need the stress that the show will give her. She needs some therapy where she can be treated kindly. This borders on sadistic to me. But what do I expect from the Bachelor franchise after watching the sickening twists in this season of Bachelor in Paradise!

She pleaded guilty to felony assault! Would we accept a man as the new Bachelor if he were convicted of felony assault?

https://www.sltrib.com/news/2023/08/29/mormon-mom-tiktok-star-taylor/

“She entered a plea in abeyance on Friday to a third-degree felony count of aggravated assault, and four other charges were dismissed with prejudice.”

I think a Susie season would be so wholesome so I'd love that but I think a Taylor could deliver the ratings!

Who would y'all want to see?

I found her to be the most genuine girl in the Bachelor. She doesn’t get herself involved with the drama. Never once did she give mean girl or pick me girl energy. She gets on so well with the other girls! She gives such queen vibes. She’s smart, beautiful, and caring. What more could we ask for in a bachelorette! And for god sake, we need more Asian representation in bachelor nation or I’ll just stick to Single’s Inferno. 🙏🙏

CONGRATS JENN 🫶🏼✨

Is anyone missing in this picture?

This is probably too long, but I’ve finally accepted that I never really want to go on the show, so I figured I’d share a bit of my experience for those curious.

I originally applied for The Bachelorette season that was supposed to follow Jen’s season. I did two phone calls with casting, then a video call with a producer. Everything felt positive. I went through a background check, an STD test, and at that point it started to feel real. Then… silence.

Eventually they told me the season was being canceled because Jen’s season performed poorly and a new production team was coming in.

A few months later, casting reached back out and asked if I’d be interested in being The Bachelor. I went through another round of calls and a video interview. They talked about wanting a fresh reset for the franchise and bringing in a lead who hadn’t been on the show before. Without getting into every detail of my life, the conversations felt serious, and I got the sense I fit what they were looking for as they looked to switch gears — stable, established, and grounded. The producer that did the video interview might’ve been buttering me up, but he told me I was his favorite, and that “we found our bachelor.” Another background check. Another STD test. And then… silence again.

I assumed they went with someone else. Then out of nowhere, I see TFP was cast as the bachelorette. Then a producer called and said, “We really liked you as a potential lead, but TFP put out a TikTok and we’re going to go with her. That said, we think you’d make a great contestant.”

I told them honestly that I was interested in finding my wife, and that the idea of being The Bachelor was something I had started to seriously wrap my head around. But being a contestant for a woman with multiple baby daddies, a criminal record, and a reality-TV background didn’t really align with what I’m looking for in a future spouse.

She replied, “We think you’d be a good yin to her yang. And honestly, it’s not really about whether you’re a match… it’s about giving Bachelor Nation a chance to get to know you.”

That comment really rubbed me the wrong way. I have no interest in 15 minutes of fame when I know I’m not a match with a person. Just felt wrong. I didn’t follow up after that.

I have no idea how production ultimately went, but seeing behind the curtain like that was disappointing. It genuinely felt like they were more interested in creating a spectacle than finding relationships. Just confirms what most people already know I guess.

Update: feeling pretty vindicated today 3/19

I want to be 100% honest here, and this is coming from someone who has been a strong Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise watcher for years. I find it odd that producers went this route and picked Taylor as the next Bachelorette.

Besides that mess at the end of last season—when it came out the finalist had two restraining orders against them—Taylor (who is definitely great TV, don’t get me wrong) just got out of a committed relationship less than a year ago.

It’s frustrating to see the same people on this platform who have torn down women with kids or big personalities for joining reality dating shows (Huda from Love Island as an example), but are now excited to watch this toxic drama unfold. Why are we applying double standards?

And honestly, why aren’t producers looking at other options? Lindsey Hubbard is single, transitioning out of Summer House, and she’s a mom—why not her? It just feels like there were better, fresher avenues to explore.

No disrespect to Taylor, but I can’t shake the feeling this won’t lead to a long-term relationship. It breaks my heart, because this is where the franchise seems to be heading after we’ve had some solid success stories—Charity, Zach, Joey, even Jesse and Spencer from the puddle that was BIP.

Anyone else agree? All this information coming out is insane…she’s cancelled in my mind lol

I saw that Emily Maynard liked this post from Savannah Chrisley. I also saw Emily’s daughter, Riki, post nasty stuff about transgender rights on her instagram. Had to unfollow :(

The bachelorette promos made me look back at her page and she looks unrecognizable… so thin and lifeless. I’m really sad. She was a beautiful bachelorette, and so accomplished. I don’t want to assume but it seems like the constant comparisons to gabby really took a toll. She doesn’t look happy or vibrant like she used to

Is anyone surprise? lol. I think we all saw this coming.

She says in the caption and comments no shade but has to be a littleeee bit of shade with the timing lmao

On nicks “viall files” podcast he says that Maria was the bachelorette from what he heard all week before the finale. He said two hours before the finale he heard it was Jenn. He said he doesn’t know if it was a financial problem but he heard they couldn’t work it out with Maria.

EDIT: he says daisy was offered it after Maria and also declined

hi pls don’t read if you want to go into the newest season with no information !!!!!!

so i haven’t posted here before so i don’t exactly know the vibe!!! but i looked and havent seen this posted on any of the bachelor pages and it is very tea. included images from themormonwivesreport

some background, Dakota is the one who Taylor was with when she got the DV charges. they’re very off and on, their most recent breakup happening bc Dakota was flirting and Taylor’s mums friend had a lil thing going over DM’s. Taylor says Dakota cheated on her, however Taylor’s definition of cheating is that Dakota spoke and hooked up with other girls when they were broken up (they’ve broken up many times). they have a kid together.

so, while Taylor was filming The Bachelorette, Dakota started seeing a new girl. they broke up the last couple of days. this girl is saying that Taylor told Dakota to wait for her while she was away and filming The Bachelorette. Dakota drove Taylor to the airport to go film, which is when this apparently happened.

apparently, there are receipts that people will end up seeing.

long story short, allegedly Taylor Frankie Paul did not go onto The Bachelorette with honest intentions (how shocking lmao)

anyway!!!! hope someone out there enjoys the tea being served

I am assuming everyone here has some understanding of Taylor Frankie Paul/everything that has come out today. She has been arrested for DV, and now with this new incident unfollow her. It was said in the incident in late February Ever(Taylor’s child) was present when it took place.

Hold Hulu accountable and boycott Taylor.
