Seriously? OMG! WTF?

When ABC announced their schedule in May, one of their most buzzed-about shows was missing from it. It was The Bachelor.

With The Bachelorette taking the Summer off, it felt like ABC was looking close to ending the franchise that has been coffee cooler talk for 23 years, even though The Golden Bachelor was picked up for the Fall.

Today, Deadline revealed that the dating competition show will be back for a landmark 30th season.

The site says that it was delayed due to finding a new executive producer. Bachelor in Paradise’s Scott Teti will be replacing Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner, who were reportedly exited the show due to a toxic environment.

I think for the milestone season, they need to get a big name to be the man handing out roses. Who do you think should be the next Bachelor?

ABC was handing out roses today, and they were given to American Idol, America’s Funniest Videos, Celebrity Jeopardy, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and Shark Tank.

However, The Bachelor is still waiting to find out if it will be returning for another season. It is not alone because ABC also put The Bachelorette on pause this Summer.

While their fate is still in jeopardy, The Golden Bachelor has already been picked up for another season, with Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer, as the dating show’s leading man.

Personally, I am surprised they picked up Shark Tank for another season without Mark Cuban. Its ratings are going to drop faster than the stock market whenever Trump announces new tariffs. Plus, who else wishes they would deport Mr. not-so Wonderful back to Canada?

Yesterday, ABC announced that they made the brilliant decision to have Martin Short host the newest incarnation of Match Game, and today they told us when he will be making his debut in the role, along with the rest of their Summer programming.

It is only April, but ABC is already preparing for the Fall. So today they announced that Dancing with the Stars will be back for season 34. Not only that, they also revealed that Robert Irwin will be putting on his dancing shoes!

While he is dancing, former football player Mel Owens, 66, is ready to start dating on The Golden Bachelor.

Born and raised in a close-knit Midwestern family in Detroit, Owens’ athleticism shone through from an early age. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he was selected as the ninth overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft by the LA Rams. Following his retirement from football, Owens transitioned into a career in law and moved to Orange County, California, dedicating himself to helping others, particularly those seeking justice for sports-related injuries. It was during this time that he met his first love, and together they had two sons. While life took an unexpected turn with the passing of his father and the end of his marriage, Owens channeled his energy into being the best father he could be, focusing on raising his sons and coaching their extracurricular sports teams.

Now, after several years as a devoted dad, Owens is ready to rediscover a love rooted in the simple joys of companionship – sharing life’s everyday moments, making plans for the future, and growing stronger together as a couple. As the Golden Bachelor, he’s eager to meet someone who shares this vision and finally find that perfect teammate he’s been waiting for in his golden years.

Why do I have a feeling that Irwin will have better luck finding love on DWTS?

The Bachelorette, airing on ABC in the Summer, is as summer as going to the bar-be-ques. However, this year, there won’t be any women looking for love.

According to Deadline, the reason is not clear why the dating competition show is on a break. But they were told that it might happen later in the year. That makes me think that they might be deciding the future of the Fall edition of The Golden Bachelor/ette, which has been plagued with controversies.

Even though the women will have a season off, The Bachelor is going strong. Its third episode will air on Monday.

Back to The Bachelorette, I hope they go with someone famous.
