Yeah, they need to bring it back here. It was great in Season 1.
I think with Australian shows the setup costs for a 1 off in studio reunion is not really worth the effort when instead they can use the final contestants to have their exclusive post show interviews on Studio 10/Project. This gives them a chance to cross promote with other network shows as well. The fact is ratings are going to drop off after the winner announcement, so it looks better for the finale to have the peak audience compared to a reunion which would have a fair drop off.
Also I always find Bachelor reunions/ after the final rose quite awkward. Like come on given it airs months after the show is filmed, I don’t think a lot of the eliminated contestants want to hold up their lives to do a reunion show months later. Many will have moved on, found partners etc. Do we really need to hear how heartbroken they supposedly still are?
In the US I think they have two shows, the above is After The Rose with a reunion show the night before the finale and including (amongst other things) fairly heated interactions between the contestants and contestants asking the Bachelor ‘what about me?’ Both shows have the potential to outrate other 9pm shows, but it depends on how full the network schedule is - they wouldn’t miss Offspring for this.
Semi-relevant but here’s a hilarious review of the Bachelor finale in the US.
(Severe course language warning).
Georgia from the last season of The Bachelor has been charged with the traffic of cocaine, traffic of commercial quantity of amphetamine, possession of money being proceeds of crime and the possession of cocaine and amphetamine.
Daily Mail found in breach of press guidelines in publishing shirtless photographs of Osher Günsberg while he was on a day off from filming The Bachelor last year.

And so they should have. Absolutely disgusting article. Daily Mail should be embarrassed with how far they went.

Thanks for the remainder. I was thinking this morning when the first promo would appear, given there is less than a month to go to the MasterChef grand final.

###Matty J’s Second Chance At Love.
Matty J is set to make his highly anticipated return to television screens, as he begins his quest to find true love in the brand new season of The Bachelor Australia, coming soon to TEN and WIN Network.
Proving that time heals a broken heart, the affable and handsome Bachelor – whom audiences fell in love with last year on The Bachelorette Australia – is back for his second chance at love, in the hope of meeting the woman of his dreams.
Get ready for romance, surprises, drama and fireworks in what promises to be the most captivating and talked-about season of The Bachelor Australia yet.
Joining Matty J on this romantic adventure of a lifetime are 22 of Australia’s most eligible Bachelorettes, including a police officer, a body painter, a midwife and a criminal lawyer. Although these remarkable women come from all walks of life, they are all looking for the same thing: true love.
Matty J said: “I think it’s hard to meet an amazing person. I’m glad I have this second chance. The only reason I am here is because I want to fall in love and The Bachelor Australia is going to be that new beginning.”
Romance and adventure will reach new heights this season as Matty J invites the Bachelorettes on a selection of incredible single and group dates.
As Matty J navigates his way through the perils and perks of dating, host Osher Günsberg is there to help calm his nerves and guide him along the way.
Can lightning strike twice for Matty J?
Thanks for noticing
