Bachelor In Paradise is on indefinite hiatus
Bachelor In Paradise is taking an unprecedented, indefinite hiatus, and I believe the show’s longtime issue with ratings is what caused the pause that’s hit Bachelor Nation hard. Beginning in 2014, Bachelor In Paradise was a fun concept that played on other Bachelor spin-offs that didn’t wind up working out in the past. Bringing together Bachelor Nation alumni for a romantic beach getaway, the singles were tasked with creating romantic connections while trying to stay in the competition so they wouldn’t miss out on the potential love of their lives. Creating many successful couples, Bachelor In Paradise was a hit.
Although Bachelor In Paradise has a somewhat higher success rate than The Bachelor in its standard form, some seasons have been more successful than others. In the last several years, Bachelor In Paradise has struggled to keep audiences interested in the series throughout its run, despite having some major drama. For Bachelor Nation, Paradise has always been a reprieve from the serious nature of the original shows, but the series hasn’t been bringing enough viewers in to sustain itself. With Bachelor In Paradise on indefinite hiatus in 2024, I believe the poor ratings were a huge reason for the pause.
Ratings Dropped Significantly From Season 1
Throughout the run of Bachelor In Paradise, the ratings have trended down rather than bouncing back up from season to season. Bachelor In Paradise season 1, which featured couples like Marcus Grodd & Lacy Faddoul and Cody Sattler & Michelle Money, was a major success for the franchise, but the ratings for the show didn’t go up for season 2. While there were more successful couples later in the series, including Jade Roper & Tanner Tolbert who are now happily married, the ratings for the show have consistently gone down season after season. Bachelor Nation may be interested, but haven’t watched consistently enough.
There Was Little Interest In Bachelor In Paradise The Last Few Years

During earlier years, Bachelor In Paradise was a huge hit for ABC and despite not being taken seriously by some, became a favorite of Bachelor Nation. While there were some incredible connections made in the first several seasons, the last few have been difficult to watch with fewer strong relationships and hardly any that have lasted. Bachelor In Paradise season 9 was the least successful season of the show in its history, creating no couples that stayed together after the series, which left a sour taste in Bachelor Nation’s mouth. With the last few seasons flopping, interest has been low.
Did The Golden Bachelor Announcement Tank The Show Further?
Although many typically share that they’re excited about Bachelor In Paradise during the summer, the last season of the series was difficult, and the franchise has a new spin-off to focus on. Though it’s quite different than Paradise, it’s possible that The Golden Bachelor may have been another factor in pushing the beachy spin-off to the back burner. The Golden Bachelor took up so much of Bachelor Nation’s attention, that it may have pushed Bachelor In Paradise viewers to speak up about the show less than usual. I believe that with a successful spin-off available, Bachelor In Paradise isn’t necessary.
