I need my BiP.

Is it coming back like ever?

Hey everyone,

I've been married for 5 years and divorced for over 2 years now. Since then, I've had several short-term relationships. I'm frustrated by the cycle of getting together with someone, getting bored, breaking up, and then looking for someone new. Do you also find yourself stuck in an endless loop of seeking relationships only to miss being single?

When a relationship ends and you have a lot of free time, do you waste it swiping right, trying to start the cycle again? How do you break this cycle and learn to enjoy your own company? I'm looking for inspiration to truly embrace being single. What inspired you to break the cycle?

I'm looking for a loving, lifelong partner—a woman with a good heart who is ready and willing to be loved in return. I know finding this might be challenging, but I'm committed to compromising and making it work for the best interests of both me and my future partner.

I don’t know why I feel this way, this is my 5th season from the franchise I have watched (Zach’s season, Charitys, Golden Bachelor, most recent BIP, and now Joey’s). I did just recently have some medical stuff arise so I’m stuck at home recovering so that may play a role in these feelings but now that Joeys season is over I’m just like extremely sad I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t think I’m jealous of anyone on the show or their lives, I’m in a very happy relationship and love my life. I am on my period lol. Anyone else feel this way?

On this past week's Women Tell All, there were no hints of Bachelor In Paradise at all. ABC has officially announced both Bachelorette and Golden Bachelorette. It seems like Bachelor In Paradise will not be renewed, at least for this year. Why?

Ratings for last season were poor:

They might have been but certainly last season's cast reflecting off a downward trend in the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchises caused that. They were also being compared to The Golden Bachelor which got way higher ratings, making it look way worse. On the other hand, ratings for Joey's season have gone up and this season has two women, Daisy and Maria, with a large number of Instagram followers, and it seems to be certain one of them will be Bachelorette and it's possible her season will have an increase in viewership in interest from previous seasons and a Bachelor in Paradise with women from Joey's season and men from Daisy's or Maria's season would have higher ratings than BIP 9 (not to mention if Joey picks Kelsey A than either Daisy or Maria herself, the one not chosen for Bachelorette) could also easily be chosen for BIP 10. I don't think ABC has to worry about ratings for BIP 10.

Golden Bachelorette:

There could be several factors in play when it comes to the Golden Bachelorette messing with Bachelor in Paradise.

One is there is only so much space on ABC's schedule year round for Bachelor shows. ABC had space for Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise last fall because of the writer's strike. With the strike over, ABC might not want to have two Bachelor themed shows running at the same time and wants to strike the Golden themed while still hot. Would having a season on streaming only be OK? I'd probably rather have a BIP on Disney+ than not have a season at all.

Even if ABC does have room for BIP on the fall schedule, does Jesse have time to do four shows at once? He did Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and Golden Bachelor last year as well as college football games but he does have a kid now. Of course the easy solution would be to just make Wells the host of Bachelor in Paradise since he's there already. There's also plenty of Bachelor Nation people ready and able to sub in for Jesse for BIP or the other shows as well.

Hopefully we will have a BIP 10 and strike while the iron is hot with Joey's women.

Since Bachelor In Paradise was introduced, often times during the Bachelor Women Tell All episode BIP has been teased, often by the host (Chris Harrison or Jesse Palmer) himself, often to suggest a popular woman will appear on it. The earliest teaser I remember was way back when Chris asked Ashley Salter to appear and she was on the second season! Last year, Jesse teased the feud between Kat and Brooklyn would continue in Paradise. In at least one season one of the women brought it up as well. With BIP's future uncertain, will there be any teaser this season?

In recent years, the anticipation has been for fights/feuds/drama from the previous Bachelor and Bachelorette to be renewed in Paradise although often times it doesn't wind up happening.

After Nick's season, Corinne and Taylor were both invited to Paradise. But Corinne had the "incident" with Demario which ended that.

During Arie's season, Krystal's 2 on 1 was with Kendall who is arguably the least confrontational of anyone on Arie's season. I think it made little sense to put her on a 2 on 1 with Krystal if you wanted drama, Bekah M would have fought with Krystal more. So Krystal and Kendall were obviously not going to fight on Paradise and surprisingly Bekah M was a no show to Paradise that season. Caroline was probably the best chance to fight with Krystal that season but it didn't seem like they did.

There were no 2 on 1's in Colton's season. Courtney shoved a pacifier in Demi's mouth at the Women Tell All. I wonder if she wasn't invited to Paradise because of that, I think you have to draw the line somewhere (although with Victoria Larsen they showed they don't have much in terms of standards). They also could have invited Tracy who Demi didn't like too much either but they didn't really fight much to their faces, only to the camera. Nicole and Onyeka fought during the episode they were both sent home and at the Tell All and both were invited but they didn't fight much in Paradise either.

During Peter's season Tammy and MyKenna were the biggest fight during the show and at the Tell All (Champagne Gate excluded of course). Giphy made a gif of MyKenna saying "How Dare You!" to Tammy:) But they didn't have MyKenna there until Tammy got sent home!

I don't even want to talk much about Matt's season because it upset me so much and I wouldn't have want to put bullies and bullied on the same season. It was probably for the best that Brittany and Anna were on separate seasons.

During Clayton's season, Shanae and Genevieve were the obvious 2 on 1/fight. Then Aaron and James invited them both on a double date! But then they decided to be friends the rest of the season!

Finally Kat and Brooklyn were the feud going in but Brooklyn was dumped after the first rose ceremony despite the fact that she liked Peter and Peter liked her. Brooklyn also said in intros she was looking forward to John Henry. Could you imagine Kat and Brooklyn fighting over John Henry in last season's Paradise? We were robbed?

This season? The obvious feud from this season is Maria and Sydney with Maria and Jess having another verbal fight on camera. You also had Lea and Medina although that was about Maria and Sydney and Medina didn't seem like she wanted to fight at all. We'll see tonight if any hidden feuds get uncovered or if everyone else got along. Maria is also rumored to be in contention for Bachelorette so they could edit out any fights involving Maria to not make her look bad, If Maria is Bachelorette, there would hardly be any drama left for BIP, at least among the women.

I don't follow the men as much as women since I don't really care about them as much since I'm a man. Jordan and Christian took their feud to Paradise and it was heated... too much. Jordan and David also was bitter to the point that Jordan literally took a stuffed dog out of his girl's hands and threw it in the ocean because David gave it to her (on her birthday)! I remember Peter and Will from Michelle's season got ridiculous (I'll bet Kaitlyn Bristowe probably had something to do with the fake Yelp reviews and lawyer/summons at the Men Tell All) but they appeared on separate BIP seasons.

So I literally cannot find a video of Aven dancing? Like where did it go?? I mean it lives rent free in my mind but I need the video 😂
