Bachelor Nation star Rachel Recchia blames Bip cancellation on ‘stupid’ Season 9. What went wrong on her season of the show? Keep reading for her thoughts on the spinoff.
Bachelor In Paradise Put On Pause?
Bachelor In Paradise should be celebrating its 10th season this year. However, as time goes on without ABC renewing the spinoff, fans think the show has been shelved for this year.
Similar to the way Bravo has been putting shows or even cast members on ‘pause’ lately, it seems ABC is doing the same with Bip. Season 9 wasn’t well-received by fans and even worse, all three of the final couples broke up within days of the season finale airing.
Rachel Recchia Blames Cancellation On ‘Stupid’ Season 9
Rachel Recchia was one of the contestants on Season 9 of Bip. Her being there was a big deal because she was previously the co-lead on Season 19 of The Bachelorette with Gabby Windey.

Maria Georgas Meets Her Bachelorette ‘Soul Sister’
Maria Georgas was one of the most controversial contestants on The Bachelor in recent years. She competed for Joey Graziadei’s heart in Season 28. Fans accused the stunning brunette bombshell of using her sexuality to snare Joey.

Katie Thurston is back on the reality dating show scene, and this time, she's trading roses for f-boys. The "FBoy Island" star made her first TV appearance on the 25th season of "The Bachelor," which starred leading man Matt James, back in 2021, and it was then that we knew she'd be a contestant to watch.
From bringing her very own sparkly purple vibrator for her first impression to poking fellow castmate Mari Pepin on the arm with it when her time talking to James was up, Thurston made it clear from day one that she is sex positive, outgoing, and hilarious to boot. We couldn't get over her history-making first-episode antics, her willingness to take on "Queen" Victoria Larson's major attitude, and her emotional breakthroughs with contestants like Sarah Trott. She then went on to helm season 17 of "The Bachelorette," where she got engaged to contestant Blake Moynes, though they later broke up.

“The Bachelor” franchise is moving to Thursdays this fall, and that includes a new season of “Bachelor In Paradise.” And if the first trailer for Season 9 is any indication, Thursday nights will be more dramatic than ever.
In true “Bachelor In Paradise” form, the trailer starts with a couple making out on the sand — only to be totally wiped out by a wave.
Next, the high-jinx begin: twerking, grinding, body shots, making out, making out and more making out.

It’s been a few years since the roses ran out, and Katie Thurston is still looking for love. The star of Season 17 of “The Bachelorette” has joined the cast of “FBoy Island.”
The series follows three women who move to a tropical paradise where they’re joined by 26 men — 13 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” looking for love, and 13 self-proclaimed “FBoys,” there to compete for cash. The women will navigate the dating pool together with the hope of finding a lasting love connection. The finale reveals who is a Nice Guy, who is an FBoy, who the women ultimately choose, and who walks away with the prize money.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead, if you have not watched the season finale of Katie Thurston’s season of “The Bachelorette,” which aired Monday, Aug. 9 on ABC.
When “The Bachelorette” started this season, the drama was off-screen, surrounding the now-departed host Chris Harrison. But by the time Season 17 ended, the drama was back on primetime revolving around reality stars desperately looking for love.
Leading lady Katie Thurston left with a ring on her finger and a fiancé in frequently-seen Bachelor Nation alum, Blake Moynes.
