The Bachelor

This week, it was finally confirmed that Chris Harrison is leaving the The Bachelor franchise.

What began as a temporary hiatus following his baffling defense of a star's racist actions is now permanent.

Tanner Tolbert is very concerned, you guys.

The former Bachelorette suitor has been paying attention to all the controversies surrounding this franchise of late and he's here to rant about them.

Rachel Lindsay is not about to do any victory laps.

She knows better than that.

Chris Harrison is moving in.

A few hours after Deadline reported that Harrison and ABC had decided to part ways for good, the polarizing host has confirmed the somewhat surprising news.

Chris Harrison has handed out his final rose.

According to Deadline, the embattled Bachelor, Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise host will NOT return to emcee any of these programs ever again.

The Bachelor Nation has heard a lot of what Kelley Flanagan had to say about Peter Weber.

It was not exactly a glowing post-breakup review.

Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell's relationship has been back and forth and up and down.

That's not sex joke, though after how handsy they were in Miami, it might as well be.

Forget the most DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY OF ALL-TIME for a moment.

Fans of The Bachelor are currently suffering through the MOST DRAMATIC SCHEDULE RELEASE OF ALL-TIME.

Rachel Lindsay is at it again.

The former Bachelorette, who was the first Black woman to lead this franchise back in 2017, appeared on comedian Ziwe Fumudoh's new variety show on Monday.

It is the end of an era for the Bachelor franchise.

Rachel Lindsay has been a powerful voice among the Bachelor Fam, helping to herald long overdue changes.

When Matt James broke up with Rachael Kirkconnell after presenting her with his final rose during the most recent Bachelor finale, most viewers seemed to support his decision to end the relationship.

They reasoned that Rachael had a lot to figure about herself and the society she lives in, to put it as mildly as we can.

If you're a longtime viewer of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, then you're almost certainly familiar with the work of "Reality" Steve Carbone.

Though he's never appeared on camera and has nothing to do with the production of the show, he's an institution in his own right.

For years, The Bachelor spoilers guru Reality Steve has been a big part of the show itself, and the bane of its existence.

His prolific ability to drop The Bachelor and The Bachelorette spoilers, year after year, has made the blogger quasi-famous.

Peter Weber is already one of the most hated Bachelors in franchise history.

And this latest development probably won't do much to help his reputation.

Fans are already excited for Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette (tentatively set for later this year).

We hope that it's a good one ... because one member of Bachelor Nation claims that it will be the last.

This week, Colton Underwood came out as gay, stunning some (but not all) fans of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

Though he has been a divisive figure with good reason, he did receive a lot of well wishes from Bachelor Nation overall.

Last month, there were definite hints that Matt James was considering reconciliation with Rachael Kirkconnell.

The Bachelor stars were clearly head over heels for each other before Rachael's racism scandal was exposed.

Another member of Bachelor Nation is facing yet another social media scandal.

In the wake of Rachael Kirkconnell basically upending this entire past season of The Bachelor -- due to actions she herself admitted were "racist and wrong" -- Taylor Nolan is now coming under scrutiny.

It may not have been the most dramatic season finale ever, but Matt James' last episode as The Bachelor certainly yielded some surprising twists and turns.

For starters, we learned that Matt and Rachael Kirkconnell have broken up, a development that received a very mixed response from the denizens of Bachelor Nation.

In case you have somehow, in some inconceivable way, been living under a rock and missed the ongoing news:

Chris Harrison is out as the host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, following a dumpster fire of a season.
