So I think at the end of the day the only thing that is evident is that this is the most toxic relationship we've probably ever seen on TV, that we've probably ever seen roll out. And it's not even toxic, you know, fun anymore. It's not even toxic, entertaining TV. This is toxic, dangerous. This is toxic, violent. This is toxic, you know, for the kids involved, for the family involved.”

ABC is allegedly losing between 30 and 70 million dollars after this cancellation. In addition, filming for season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was paused as Taylor's co-stars refused to film with her."”
Ridealong summary
The cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' due to the scandal is a significant financial blow to ABC, highlighting the network's vulnerability to reality TV controversies.
“It's bizarre because this woman, uh, if we put a picture up on the screen and you know, I'm not trying to be mean, although as we'll see, she would, she would deserve it, but she's not very attractive at all. You know, she's not, she's not hideous. She's just kind of a normal looking woman. She's also a divorced single mother. So the idea was that 30 men would be vying for the heart of an average looking divorced 31 year old single mom.”

The Bachelorette's cancellation highlights the absurdity of reality TV's premise, especially when featuring a controversial figure like Taylor Frankie Paul.
“"And the thing I just like, as it relates to the bachelorette, what I keep coming back to in addition to the fight with her mom is why they set up the season the way that they did. Like, let's say they had moved forward with it because this, this video hadn't come out. it would have been so weird to watch this season just like knowing about like her relationship with Dakota..."”
Ridealong summary
The decision to cancel 'The Bachelorette' season amid the scandal is perplexing given the potential for high drama and viewer interest.
“"It's kind of funny that they're going to cancel a trashy reality TV show because the stars are behaving in a trashy and degenerate way. That's not exactly a man bites dog story. Isn't that what everybody signed up for? That's the whole show."”
Ridealong summary
Canceling The Bachelorette due to Taylor Frankie Paul's scandal is ironic given the show's premise of showcasing trashy behavior.
“"The other rumors that there's Taylor season will air on Hulu instead of ABC. I think that's the question is like, will they just dump it all on Hulu? Which in my mind, that's how Mormon Wives is. But also that's going to get more views than it would be on ABC anyways. I'm going to sidestep some of the scandal putting it on Hulu where they've aired all the other seasons of Mormon Wives."”
Ridealong summary
The cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' season due to the Taylor Frankie Paul scandal may lead to the show airing on Hulu, which could attract more viewers than ABC.
“"It's really interesting that ABC was like yeah this should be our choice... they thought with that first incident it was out... as a gamble that didn’t pay off. So they just want a drama they didn’t care about the guys finding love... it's all just a platform at this point."”
Ridealong summary
ABC's gamble on Taylor Frankie Paul's drama for ratings backfired, leading to the cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' season.
“"I've watched every season ever since it premiered and I'm a little disappointed that we don't get this recent one... It sounds like they might be interviewing these men. I don't suspect we're going to get much of a tell-all in terms of what went down filming. My guess is they're going to use this as an opportunity."”
Ridealong summary
The cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' season is seen as both a disappointment for fans and an opportunity for the franchise to pivot by focusing on the personal stories of the contestants.
“"Dumois submission about bachelorette Taylor is allegedly lowering, lowering after ABC Disney blamed the resurface video for canceling her season, even though they already knew about it when they casted her. There's nothing in the video that isn't in public records. Sounds like the video was just an easy way out The real issue was her season was just not good."”
Ridealong summary
The cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' season was not solely due to the scandal but also because the season was considered subpar, with the scandal providing a convenient excuse.
“"Taylor Franky Paul, log off. That's all I got to say to her. She's still just responding to people in the comments and stuff. I'm very confused by her. And it almost like I like is this all planned Like why is she OK All I can all I can guess is that A she lost a lot of revenue So, like, she needs to stay relevant online."”
Ridealong summary
Taylor Frankie Paul's continued online presence seems driven by a need to stay relevant and recover lost revenue from brand deals, despite the scandal's impact.
“Also it's being not reported but floated for the next bachelorette yeah uh more higgins yes people are suggesting that she be the next bachelorette apparently there was rumors that like leila and miranda would do a joint season and there are also rumors that that has just been knocked down by abc Oh, I heard that it was like actually being considered by ABC. I heard that it's not being considered anymore. And that wouldn't be good. Just want to say, I think that the whole double bachelorette thing, they think like they have two girls who are like decent and maybe we put them together. It would be great. It's distracting.”
Ridealong summary
The podcast suggests that the cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' season is influenced by the ongoing scandal, but also criticizes the idea of a double Bachelorette season as distracting and ineffective.
