So, isBachelor in Paradiseworth the watch? If you’re anything like me, then you might be considering bailing on the franchise altogether. However, based on the premiere episode ofBachelor in Paradise, I think it deserves one more shot. There are two key reasons for this decision: 1. David Spade and 2.BiPis my last hope.
First, Spade makes his debut as the show’s new guest host, and he doesn’t disappoint. During the arrivals, it’s hilarious to watch some of the contestants (*cough, Tammy, cough*) recognize him and then totally butcher his name. “Dave Chappelle?” In addition to offering comedic relief, Spade also takes a realistic approach that I’ve never seen onThe Bachelor特许经营。“让我们re-meet我们已经的人met a hundred times,” he said while introducing the contestants.
Second,Bachelor in Paradiseis more respectable than, let’s say,The Bachelorette.BiPis different because the dating scene is actually realistic. When it comes toThe BachelorandThe Bachelorette, the feelings are often forced because the contestants have no other choice but to “fall for” the lead.
WithBiP, the singles are given a choice. They’re allowed to talk to multiple love interests before taking someone on a date. And even then, they can change their mind at any moment to pursue someone else. Yes, this format causes more drama between the contestants. But it also presents a more realistic dating environment that occasionally results in success stories. And for that reason, I remain hopeful thatBiPwill be far less painful than its spin-offs.
