The Bachelor franchise knew about Taylor Frankie Paul’s conviction before they cast her. They just thought the ratings would be worth it.
They were wrong. I wrote about it. 👇🏾 #TheBachelorette #TaylorFrankiePaul

the unspoken dark cloud reeking of substance abuse behind the curtain of secret lives of mormon wives is so unsettling

No melanin & only 3 women. This picture literally looks like the Plague. That BIPOC quota shoulda been implemented behind the scenes as well.
Women constantly being shafted in the edit for B.S. like fart/shit moments, celebrity twists the fans don't want... The fact that women are almost always underedited to men is exhausting. This is the #Survivor editing team. With how it is, I can see why they favor men over women.

Taylor Frankie Paul was supposed to be The Bachelorette's big comeback after Jenn's disaster of a season and cleaning house....and they fucked it up in new but also expected ways.
Their whole marketing was like "TFP does things her way! like we've never seen before" yeah i bet
Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay Says 'Bachelor' Franchise Is 'Completely Destroyed' by Taylor Frankie Paul Scandal people.com/rachel-lindsay-ba…
Y’all can’t be the same people asking how we have the president that we have when you’re suggesting things like this.
ABC should absolutely just air the Bachelorette. Release all the episodes at once. Put it behind a pay wall. Charge 3.99 to unlock. Put a TW at the beginning and say you don’t condone any assault. Put a hotline number up if you’re a victim of DV to call. Boom. All good. They would make absolute MASSIVE amounts of money.
I agree with her.
People Magazine: Rachel Lindsay doesn’t think the Bachelor franchise can recover from the Taylor Frankie Paul scandal.
She reacted in real time on the episode of the Bachelor Party podcast, which was released on March 20, and shared her candid thoughts on whether the TV franchise can move forward.
"I think it's over," she said of the franchise's future. "I was trying to think of a scenario where it could be different, because this isn't just, 'Oh, we put it all on a person. This person did this.' This is the system that allowed this to happen."
"The name Bachelorette, Bachelor is tainted at this point," Lindsay, 40, said. "How do you move forward past that? You can't."

Acting up in front of Beyoncé is a new level of niggatry. Bey's face says it all!😫
Justin and Ursher- y'all get it together and kiss and make up.🥺
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The photos attached are AI-generated and feature a fake TMZ watermark. TMZ reported a verbal heated exchange between Usher and Justin Bieber at Beyoncé's Oscars after-party (no physical contact), but did not release or publish any photos of the incident.

As sad as I am that I don't get to watch Rob or Natalie or Yam Yam or Tiffany or Ian be a traitor, I think it's so good for the health of the show long term to have no gamers in the turret this season #TheTraitorsUS

Awful lot of plot holes for a show they dedicated 10 years to…
In case you missed these from post-finale interviews this week, here are all the details confirmed by the Duffer Brothers:
- Hopper and Joyce realized Vecna was their former schoolmate off-screen during Seasons 4 and 5.
- Only the Duffers and Millie Bobby Brown know Eleven’s true fate.
- On the absence of Demogorgons in the finale: “Vecna wasn’t expecting a sneak attack on his home turf. They’re still out there somewhere.”
- It’s left up to audience interpretation whether Robin and Vickie are still together, and whether Jonathan and Nancy get back together.
- The upcoming live-action spin-off will explore the backstory of the rock inside the briefcase. No ‘80s setting, no returning characters, no Hawkins.
- There isn’t a single deleted scene from Season 5. However, some takes from the final scene were trimmed because there was “too much crying.”
- It remains ambiguous whether Henry Creel was manipulated by the Mind Flayer.
- Holly Wheeler and her friends were not originally planned to be part of Season 5.
