The Bachelor franchise seems to be in a bit of a transition period right now, with The Bachelorette being removed from the 2025 TV schedule and staffers making toxic workplace allegations against the executive producers. Meanwhile, Bachelor in Paradise is set to return this year, and big changes are afoot there as well. A new showrunner will lead Season 10, and I agree with one former contestant’s take on rumors that Golden contestants will be hitting the beach.
When Bachelor in Paradise makes a triumphant return for Season 10, Scott Teti (EP of Claim to Fame , Summer House and more) will be the showrunner , and according to The Bachelor alums Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins, that allegedly means new producers, a new location and even a Golden twist. Iaconetti said on their Almost Famous podcast : We hear something crazy, guys. Freaking crazy.
We hear that the Goldens are gonna be part of it in some way. I hope that when we hear this, it’s not them being like, ‘Oh, they’re gonna host dates.’ That would be lame.
No, please have the Goldens dating in Paradise. I agree 100%. The Golden Bachelor contestants have expressed interest in a Golden Paradise , and I think it’s more realistic to have them join their younger counterparts rather than give them their own spinoff.
To that end, if it’s true that the Golden cast members are involved, it needs to be in a dating capacity, not hosting a group activity like several of Golden guys did with Grant Ellis’ prom. Locati.
