A New Report Suggest Chris Harrison Was “Iced Out” of the ‘Bachelor’ Franchise

We have had time to digest…

QUICK DISCUSS: Still feelings confused??

a new article in the Hollywood reporter explains how and why this all happened.

On March 4, nearly a month after taking an unplanned hiatus from The Bachelor, Chris Harrison returned to TV to say that he wasn’t going anywhere. “I plan to be back and I want to be back,” the host of 19 years told Good Morning America co-anchor Michael Strahan.

Strahan - “His apology is his apology, but it felt like I got nothing more than a surface response. Only time will tell if there is any meaning behind his words.”

a source close to the production said “That interview was the nail in the coffin”

DISCUSS: The produced nature of the sit-down that Strahan publicly objected to was an approach seemingly designed to protect Harrison… Control the narrative. Sit down or taped?

No public show of support for Harrison from the network or the show’s producers, the decision-makers were privately telling Chris they wanted him back and that he should remain patient, says a show insider.

Days later… Kaitlyn and Tayshia were announced as “mentors” - then chris hires lawyer

DISCUSS: Do you think Chris saw where this was heading?

After this “He was iced out.”

Harrison instead walked away with a settlement — Deadline reported on June 9 a “mid-range eight-figure payoff,” The report says the network didn’t want to risk going in front of a judge for wrongful termination.. So they paid him out.

A Hollywood strategic communications expert, who didn’t want to be identified because of ongoing work with ABC/Disney, says getting rid of Harrison seems like a superficial PR move:

“Making a cosmetic change like this is the easiest thing in the world and no doubt it seems like a surefire win to the suits at ABC and Warner Bros., but replacing the host while leaving the same crowd of producers in charge does absolutely nothing to address the underlying systemic issues on the show. Shifting hosts is, appropriately enough, only a skin-deep transformation.”

DISCUSS: TRUE! Thoughts? Who is more to blame?

Changing hosts….
Kaitlyn & Tayshia are cheaper, although did get more screen time - The pair accounted for 7.6 percent of airtime during the two-hour premiere, per featured screen time tracker Instagram account @BachelorData, topping Harrison’s recent premiere high of 6.7 percent on James’ cycle.

DISCUSS: Surprised by their screen time?

Ratings for the show have dropped, lowest-rated back-to-back episodes in franchise history, BUT Katie’s premiere ended up first among the day’s broadcast shows among adults 18-49

DISCUSS: has it ran it’s course? Or …

Streaming service… Love is blind, too hot to handle, etc…

“And Harrison, it seems, will be ready to field any calls.”

DISCUSS: Do you think we will see Chris hosting a different show in the future?
