## Resource

BachelorClues and PaceCase discuss the bombshell news from Reality Steve that ABC is planning to air Taylor Frankie Paul's scuttled Bachelorette season this summer, with an official announcement expected at the upfronts. They break down why they think it's a bad decision for the long-term health of the franchise, and what it means for Bachelor Season 30, which is now officially open for casting. In Bachelor Nation News, TFP and Dakota Mortensen were granted mutual protective orders, a voice note from Jessi Draper was leaked, Whitney Leavitt announces she's leaving Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Vulture drops their first-ever Reality TV Masterminds list, and Trista Sutter launches a new advice podcast. Plus, the top 5 Parasocial Plays of the Week, the Parasocial Creature of the Week, and the Scream From The Pit.
