Game of Roses

Claire Fallon and Emma Gray of Love To See It join Game of Roses for a deep dive into the current state of reality dating shows—from the fallout of the unaired Taylor Frankie Paul season to what it signals about the future of the Bachelor franchise. They break down production strategy, casting shifts, and the growing intersection of politics and reality TV storytelling, including Love Is Blind’s editorial choices and broader industry trends. The conversation explores how networks test audience reaction, the economics behind “lost” seasons, and what a potential Bachelor reboot era could look like.
