That said, the reason for this disastrous season might be the very thing that makes Clare Crawley’s upcoming turn on ‘The Bachelorette’ great.

Crawley’s selection confirms just how bad this season of “The Bachelor” has been—but it also proves the franchise’s producers know they need to take a big swing.

“Love Is Blind” is as unbelievably dumb as it is addicting. So what does its massive success mean for the future of TV’s dumbest and most addicting genre: reality TV dating shows?

In the middle of a ho-hum drama rehash, the dating show took a moment to campaign against cyberbullying—with help from former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay.

Fans worried about Johnson during his tenures on both ‘The Bachelorette’ and ‘Bachelor in Paradise,’ where he exhibited erratic and sometimes violent behavior.

A presumed favorite of the season just walked out.

This is not a joke.
