Arie Luyendyk may go down as the most despised Bachelor leading man since Juan Pablo, but the dramatics led the show to a strong finish in Season 22.
The ratings for both the finale and the post-finale “After The Final Rose” special were impressive, and ABC is undoubtedly hoping for more of the same in Season 23.
Another season of The Bachelorette is slated to hit the airwaves in May to give Becca Kufrin another shot at happiness after she was controversially dumped in the final episode of The Bachelor Season 22.
The Bachelor franchise is still going strong, even if it’s not quite generating the same buzz as in earlier seasons and despite the messy affair with Bachelor in Paradise back in June 2017.
