I was excited when I initially heard about theBachelor In Paradiseseason 10 twist, but I’ve changed my mind. Though it initially sounded like a good idea, I have come to believe the opposite.Bachelor in Paradiseis my favorite iteration of the unscripted dating franchise, so stakes are absurdly high for me. I was thrilled when it was announced the show would be back this summer. He also named a few of the first contestants and shocked audiences with a wild new twist that includes contestants fromThe Golden BachelorandThe Golden Bachelorette.
Bachelor in Paradiseis one of the best things on television. WhileThe BachelorandThe Bachelorettefocus on the romantic search of one person,Bachelor in Paradiseis a fun ensemble show. This season promises to be the wildest yet, with a new twist changing everything. I’m counting down the days untilBachelor in Paradiseseason 10, butI’m concerned the new twist could hurt the show. It sounded like a great idea at first, but upon further reflection, it could spell doom for my beloved reality show.

In addition to casting former contestants fromThe BachelorandThe Bachelorette, thisseason will also include contestants fromThe Golden BachelorandThe Golden Bachelorette.Though I loved the idea initially, I’ve changed my mind and have come to believe thatGolden Bachelor In Paradiseshould be its own show.
The Twist Is Sure To Disappoint
No One Will Be Happy With How Time Is Split Between The Two Beaches
When the bigBachelor in Paradisetwist was announced,Jesse didn’t expand on how it works.It was revealedthere would be two side-by-side storylines on two separate beaches, with two separate rose ceremonies. I think this is a recipe for disaster. No matter how screen time is divided, some people will complain. Some people will want to see more of the “Goldenbeach” love stories, while some may want to watch the young singles. Either way, someone is sure to be unhappy.
