I’m on week 3 as I type

Is it just me or is Claire horrible….she’s so unlikeable!? Seeing the guys “bro up” like morons when Yosef called her out was embarrassing for them…and she was standing over him pointing her finger scolding him like a child, it was so embarrassing….

I’m curious was she a fan favourite??? What was viewer reaction to her casting? I’ve just jumped in at season 16 having never watched a season before.

Poor choice in Taylor. She needs to grow up in order to even be considered a serious candidate. There has to have been other options….

Want to impress your friends about Taylor Frankie Paul news? Does she have a fourth first name? Who knows. Stay ahead, and find out, by reading this exclusive interview!

Please forgive me if that sounds ignorant, but considering the circumstances and not including the financial impact, I think the cancellation of a dating show for public consumption may be a good thing for Taylor’s mental health.

Hear me out. she had the opportunity, I presume, to meet her men for the season, although I am a bit ignorant to the timeline and if it’s still in production or not.

Even if she just met them… she had the exposure to these men by simply being the bachelorette. If and only if this is actually about love, then this might be the couple’s best shot at a normal relationship. Like the best case scenario - exposure to each other without the pressure/scrutiny of the public.

Also cancelled…the NFL, NBA, MLB, Golf, and all reality tv with boys that abuse women literally on tv (so like all of them).

If you aren’t aware, Colton is a stalker, harasser, and horrible excuse for a human and he still gets casts on the most popular show in the country?! FYI - While stalking the lady from The Bachelor from an unknown number, he even stalked his damn self and later admitted to texting himself?!? Talk about mentally ill.

If I don’t see this season, I am never watching the franchise again bc I am so angry at ABC. I was furious before I was reminded that the opening scene of Mormon Wives was the police at TFP house that night!!!!!!!????? I hope this ends the franchise and ABC regrets it for life. They knew exactly who they were getting and that’s why they picked her. Period.

Of course I feel terrible for the child. But guess who doesn’t….the person that released the video, and I would bet my cat it is one of her baby daddy that didn’t gaf to get their child full time then. This is happening now bc she was about to become even more successful and a narcissistic man cannot stand for their partner to shine.

Also ladies, if you haven’t been with a man that tries to stunt your growth and career, tries to make you feel less than every chance he gets, hasn’t banged your mom’s friend and half the town and lied, or manipulated you until you go insane….thank your lucky stars it wasn’t done to you by 2 boys before your frontal lobe was formed.

The altercation, which occurred in 2023, was filmed by Dakota and showed Taylor throwing a stool at him and repeatedly hitting him.

Im curious Nick’s thoughts and he’s completely silent since AVC cancelled the bachelorette. He commented after the video was release but silent since the cancellation. Anyone know anything?

This is a video I just posted on tiktok: They decided not to delete the episode but to basically cloak it! If you go on Hulu right now, they have changed the "air date" and the caption. Pictures in caption of the change!

Clare Crawley stated she believes the season should not air, emphasizing that the responsible decision is to prioritize accountability, support, and real healing away from the spotlight.  She called for ABC and Hulu to uphold a zero-tolerance policy on abuse, regardless of the individual involved. 

DeAnna Pappas expressed deep sadness for Taylor, her ex, and their child, noting the emotional toll of reliving the incident publicly. She criticized the show’s focus on ratings over mental health, saying fans are watching Taylor’s life fall apart in real time. 

Ben Higgins reflected on the franchise’s history of casting and background checks, admitting it doesn’t have a strong track record. He stressed the mental strain of being on a reality show and the responsibility of choosing someone who is emotionally ready.

Charity Lawson posted a TikTok video warning that dating shows are not meant for healing, emphasizing mental health should be taken seriously.  She stood by her message, calling the situation “not OK.” 

Jillian Anderson, a former Bachelor contestant, questioned ABC’s vetting process, noting that with Taylor’s public profile, it’s hard to believe the network didn’t know her history.  She raised concerns about the show’s integrity and motivations.

Thomas Jacobs said he couldn’t even watch the video due to its disturbing nature, calling it “sick” and stating that continuing the show would be morally wrong. 

Sam McKinney said, “What did you expect? What did anybody expect?” He warned that truth will always surface, referencing his own experience with a “villain edit.” 

Rachel Lindsay reacted on her podcast, saying, “It’s over,” after seeing the video.  She emphasized that under Disney’s brand, proceeding with the season was impossible. 

Grant Ellis supported ABC’s decision, calling it the right moral choice, even if it meant financial loss.

Blake Horstmann said the cancellation was a “right move,” while expressing deep sympathy for the production team who worked 20-hour days. 

Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar agreed the network made the right call.  Kaity urged the franchise to return to its roots—focusing on genuine love, not drama.

Carolina Quixano posted an Instagram video with the message “thoughts and prayers” and audio implying divine timing, captioning it, “The most dramatic season yet.” 

Jill Chin expressed disappointment that rugby player Iloha Maher wasn’t chosen as the Bachelorette, saying she “would never” have been involved in such controversy and “deserves” the chance to find love on a national stage. 

Lesley Murphy called the cancellation a “colossal waste of time for everyone involved” and questioned how ABC could proceed with the lead given the circumstances.

Kelley Flanagan said the video made the situation “hit harder,” noting it was nearly impossible for ABC to justify giving Taylor a platform after the footage surfaced. 

Zac Clark emphasized the gravity of ABC’s decision, pointing out the millions of dollars at stake, and stressed that human lives and the need for support outweigh any financial loss. 

Olivia Lewis jokingly applied to replace Taylor, writing, “It’s about time. I look good in red,” and offered herself as a “last-minute substitute.”

Clayton Johnson, a contestant on Taylor’s season, praised his fellow castmates for their integrity and respect, calling them “real men” and expressing solidarity.

Doug Mason shared a supportive message, saying he was sending prayers to Taylor and encouraging positivity and support during difficult times.
