There is a possible thing to look forward to for those in the know in the world of reality TV and links to Challenge Nation -- something we'll be delving into next on here before we cover the Ride or Dies premiere. But here at the end of this appetizer: a little look ahead.
Bachelor Nation is now into its traditional year-ender when it comes to the trilogy of series that airs in that love franchise, as Bachelor in Paradise continues with its eighth season down in Mexico. At the same time, filming is in full swing for the 2023 edition of The Bachelor which will begin airing in the new year on ABC, and with Zach Shallcross from the duel Bachelorette season of Gabby & Rachel given the honors to be the leading man for Season 27.
Now when we watched Double Agents two years ago, there were actually two women named Amber: Amber B. who won it all, and Amber Martinez who made her MTV debut on the most-recent season of Are You The One? -- the sexually-fluid Season 8 -- back in 2019. As we hinted in our Who Are These Newbies? intro to her that year, she was a co-host of a YouTube recap show entitled SPILL3 -- and if everything on the wire is right, there may be new episodes of that coming in 2023.
The favorite authority on all things Bachelor Nation to those on Twitter, Reality Steve, served up this latest serving of tea late last month when he reported that Amber's Spill3 co-host and cousin, Kimberly Gutierrez, is among the nearly thirty or so suitors who have been chosen to try and vie for Zach's heart on this winter's edition of The Bachelor. Safe to say, there will be plenty to spill from the Casa come January... but for now, below one of the Spill3 episodes with Kimmie and Amber -- we wonder what kind of advice the MTV'er got to tell her friend before going on her own journey to find love on TV.
UPDATE 1/21/23
Amidst the craze of reality love taking over with the return of Amber M.'s original show AYTO returning (which we covered the Season 9 premiere on here earlier tonight) as well as her fellow Season 8 single Kariselle Snow getting yet another chance at love in her being part of the cast of Netflix's take on this whole thing Perfect Match debuting next month (she was on the cast of the widely reviled but equally hilarious Sexy Beasts as a panda), Kimberly's quest for love begins on Monday on The Bachelor. And below, her being part of the cast introductions.
On Labor Day last Monday night, the granddaddy of romantic reality shows, the franchise that's known to its fandom as Bachelor Nation, capped off its special summer-long look back at almost two decades of memorable seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Night-long recaps of ten of the series' Greatest Seasons Ever replaced what would've been Bachelor in Paradise due to the pandemic, as host Chris Harrison brought fans down memory lane reliving unforgettable moments and suitors for roses & romance, from Nick Viall to Ali Fedotwsky and Ben Higgins.
Next month, Clare Crawley of Juan Pablo's season will take the reigns as the new Bachelorette, followed by Matt James for season 25 of its male counterpart - the franchise's second African-American lead after Ghosted host Rachel Lindsay in 2017. But of all of the seasons of the entire franchise -- over fifty regular and spinoffs in all, the one that is of most interest of MTV fans is the Bachelorette season of four years ago starring JoJo Fletcher. It was there that she met her QB fiance Jordan Rodgers, but it also in the villa that four other suitors began their quest for love and then went to MTV: three of them showed up on Ex On The Beach and No. 4, Robby Hayes, flew to Siesta Key.
One of those who went to the U.S. version of MTV's totally twisted take on love was Chad Johnson, who went onto Season 2 of the show back in 2019 after establishing himself as an all-time Bachelor villain on JoJo's season in making enemies of just about everyone in the house. He then had a rather memorable first night on the ensuing third season of Paradise only for an argument with the host sending him home the same week Johnny Bananas stole Sarah's money. Chad went onto EOTB where he clicked with Bloodlines Challenger Nicole Ramos, but like all of his romances both on- and off-camera that flamed out in the California sun.
This year has been a twisted one for the one they call "Bad Chad," as in addition to having to relive his Bachelorette season (which also included EOTB Season 1'er Chase McNary and Peak of Love's Daniel Maguire) during the Greatest Seasons Ever summer, he has had his own episodes play out for public consumption on social media and the internet. First, there was allegations of domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend influencer Annalise Mishler when he had a relapse in trying to abstain from alcohol and was cuffed by the LAPD. Then, there were rumors going around that he had been considering taking his life during this wild time in his life, but cooler heads prevailed in that category.
It wasn't that long ago that Chad was a former member of the Marine Corps trying to adjust back to life back on the home front and helping to sell real estate back home in his native Oklahoma. But with having to pay all of those legal bills and that jail bail money surrounding that circus of him & Annalise that inadvertently gave him an idea of what's next in his life: perhaps a career in adult entertainment? He and the ex had began to explore the possibility of doing some up close & personal matters for that underground world known as OnlyFans... and then he thought of something bigger.
It's during that phase of exploring those new world that is definitely not suitable for work and intended for a mature audience that Chad developed a love for what OnlyFans offers in pornographic content and becoming an exotic dancer. If what you've seen Vinny do on a guest basis for the Chippendales when cameras of Jersey Shore's Family Vacation relaunch and the spinoff A Double Shot at Love have documented, or when Rogan O'Connor got to do before going onto EOTB UK and The Challenge as part of the UK Dreamboys, then you have an idea of what that's like. Ask any lady of all ages of what that's like being in the front row at those stripping spectacles.
Just after his world was being turned upside down, Bad Chad decided to take a trip up to Las Vegas to explore the possibilities of launching his own X-rated version of OnlyFans and toured houses with the likes of Hulk Hogan's son Nick and his porn star girlfriend for possible locations where he can film his magic and call home at the same time. Obviously, the COVID emergency has had other ideas and production has not started just yet on this new venture. And last week, Chad was spotted in the latest chapter of his twisted 2020: a public display of affection (a PDA) on the Strip.

As sporting activity is slowly but surely reawakening from its spring slumber due to the COVID emergency, we will soon have an unprecedented and action-packed summer of sports: both the NBA and NHL are gearing up for their postseason runs, while soccer in Spain, Germany and England are now back up and running to complete their seasons that were interrupted by the pandemic. And there's UFC, golf, auto racing and a load of other events that are now starting up again to keep sports fans company in the warmest time of the year, along with The Challenge: Total Madness as well.
Cycling continues to grapple in the fight to public respect among both those follow the sport year-round and among mainstream sports fans in the aftermath of an era marked by scandals which have compromised the sport's integrity during the midst of the steroid era that marred baseball and Olympic sports in the '90s and 2000's. And one of the key figures in this unfortunate era is a recent subject of an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, and given the tall task of following up the success of The Last Dance miniseries.
Lance Armstrong was a fledgling triathlete when he began competing in the combination of swimming, cycling and running at age 16, but then turned his attention permanently to the bike in 1992. He quickly found some footing in a sport traditionally dominated by the Europeans in having success at the World Championships, one-day classics and stage victories in the sport's big events of multi-stage races including two stage wins at Le Tour. In 1996, Armstrong was diagnosed with a potentially deadly form of testicular cancer and while in the recovery phase, he formed a foundation to assist others who have recovered from cancer, now called Livestrong.
But soon, this was gonna be all for naught... shortly after that first triumph, there were doubters as to whether Armstrong competed cleanly or if he cheated his way to what the French call the "maillot jaune." During his dominance, he was the subject of doping allegations and whenever he was asked about it he would always deny that he had any involvement in that. During a period where Mark McGwire and Marion Jones were under the needle for such behavior, a 2012 probe by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency found that Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs during his career and led a systematic doping program behind the scenes among his teammates.
After an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey, Lance came clean to not contest those charges... and all of his achievements from summer 1998 onwards -- the seven Tour de France titles, that Olympic medal and everything else -- were swiped away from his trophy case and the record books, as well as having a lifetime ban stamped onto his head from competing in any sport that adheres to the World Anti-Doping Code. He's become the poster boy for the sorry state of professional cycling which has also seen fellow American Floyd Landis have his Tour de France title taken away for a similar doping offense, and where he blew the whistle on the feds and on Armstrong.
As mentioned above, after the epic 10-part series on the Chicago Bulls' NBA dynasty aired last month, Armstrong was the subject of a two-part ESPN documentary called Lance, which provided a look at his life before, during and after his rise to the top and his dramatic fall from grace. Cameras followed him in his post-competitive life as he tries to live a life outside of the public eye, including to a summer 2018 charitable event for breast cancer awareness where, despite what has happened since, Armstrong accepted an award while in the company of reality television's finest... and that's where we find a link to those who are familiar to those who watch three reality television franchises.
Over a month ago before everything changed in this world of ours, there was some startling news that emerged in Bachelor Nation with links to the MTV Reality community. Chad Johnson from JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette, the 2016 summer of Bachelor in Paradise and Season 2 of Ex On The Beach spent a night in jail for domestic violence charges and one count of robbery against his ex-girlfriend Annalise Mishler. This came after he had an alcohol relapse in his battle to remain sober and clean, and led to disturbing behavior in the days following.
The attention that has been now been given to protecting everyone from the virus pandemic has seen this story of Bad Chad getting busted being sent to the back pages. But amidst all this he did have his first court date shortly after St. Patrick's Day without much attention from the media and without people present in the courtroom. On that Friday, March 20th trip to court where his attorney appeared on his behalf, Johnson entered not guilty pleas to six misdemeanor charges, and will again face the music next month -- that is, provided that social distancing rules are relaxed.
If you have been following him as of late, Chad has joined the craze that has pretty much everyone in MTV circles taking part: no, not TikTok dance videos but that site known as OnlyFans. A few weeks ago, he dropped by the studios of entertainment newsmagazine Extra and its host Billy Bush with Annelise in tow where, while talking about what happened on that unfortunate night Chad dropped a bomb that he & the ex are doing a joint OnlyFans page. And if you've been seeing his Instagram posts, you pretty much have an idea of what they are offering... that is if you want some up close and personal entertainment.
Before this world of his unraveled, Chad had sights set on taking part in a charity boxing tournament that was slated to be held this spring with him being the headliner among a slew of fellow Bachelor and Bachelorette alumni taking part. Obviously, the events of what transpired in February changed all that and he was forced to withdraw from the event before it was postponed to later in the year after the sanctions given by local and state authorities to prevent large gatherings, such as last weekend's UFC fight card being nixed at last minute.
Whenever any kind of odd event takes place from out of the ordinary, then they have to do at least a weird commercial or promo to drum up interest. In the case of Bachelor Night at the Fights, Chad decided to become Rambo for a moment... have a peek at the promo below. Next stop, Challenge?
If you think that all the drama on The Bachelor this winter has been all about what's been transpiring with Peter Weber and his group of suitors, then this week saw not only more twists and turns on his show, but also some fireworks off of it in the case of one of its alumni. In fact, it came on all of things, Bachelor Monday, and with the latest tale in the saga that is Bad Chad.
Four years ago, Chad Johnson made his debut on JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette -- one that has seen him and two other suitors (Chase McNary and Daniel Maguire) go later onto MTV's Ex On The Beach and a third (Robby Hayes) head onto this year's season of Siesta Key as Juliette's post-Alex boyfriend. Those who watched Chad saw him become the drama king in the Villa in him stirring up plenty of moments that spring of 2016 before he got sent home halfway through the season. And it continued when Chad went on Bachelor in Paradise later that summer, and his behavior was too hot to handle for both the cast and host Chris Harrison, being ejected after just that premiere episode the night before Johnny Bananas' steal on The Challenge: Rivals III.
After appearing on Celebrity Big Brother UK overseas and starring with a pre-daddy Jersey Shore Ronnie on E!'s Famously Single, Chad returned to reality TV in sharing top billing with another bad girl, former Teen Mom Farrah Abraham, on EOTB Season 2 last year. He stirred a vendetta with Big Brother houseguest turned 2-time Challenger Jozea Flores and fell in love with that season's lone representative of The Challenge, Bloodlines alum Nicole Ramos. Her & Chad's relationship blossomed in the house but failed outside of it where she got into it with him on the reunion show, and spilled some tea on Bad Chad on YouTube afterwards.
On Monday night, Peter's Bachelor season entered its closing stages with the final three ladies -- Hannah Ann Sluss, Madison Prewett and Victoria Fuller -- going onto their fantasy overnight dates as they flew to Australia's Gold Coast and Brisbane, Queensland before he chooses who he will be his one next week. But just that went down Down Under, there was drama of another sort taking place involving Chad that's as juicy as what the flight attendant has had all winter long.
The wintertime means one thing to this blogger's parents: spending a couple hours on Monday nights watching the start of the annual trilogy of Bachelor Nation. Two weeks ago post champagne-gate, my mom & dad and those who are reality nuts got to enjoy a staple of everyone's slumber parties being brought to a whole new level when pillow wrestling appeared on The Bachelor, and it was called by none other than Fred Willard and Chris Harrison a week after the former left Modern Family. And this past week, Cleveland hosted "The Bachelor Bowl" while Victoria Fuller revealed to star Peter Weber than country crooner Chase Rice is an ex boyfriend of hers.
It is that time of year again for those who are part of the granddaddy of all romantic reality TV series to begin the week... same goes for those at the Revel Social bar in Denver, CO to hold its weekly viewing parties of The Bachelor. Similar scenes will be repeated for The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise and the new music-themed spinoff Listen to Your Heart at where Chase McNary from JoJo Fletcher's now-renowned 2016 Bachelorette class works at after taking sojourns to MTV (where three other suitors from his season followed in his footsteps to both Ex On The Beach and to Siesta Key), and then last year returned to familiar surroundings on Bachelor in Paradise.
If you ever hop by my house and join with my parents on the couch on a Monday or Tuesday night from January to September, it's for the one purpose that gets my parents interested in reality TV the same way I do: watching people fall in love. But unlike this fan who keeps his obsession with Are You The One and Ex On The Beach to a guilty pleasure level without them ever knowing about it, my mom & dad are completely obsessed with Bachelor Nation... and it seems I have also fallen into that spell for a few times this year in eavesdropping on my parents to watch some of the drama.
The engaged BIP 6 couples w/ Chris Harrison (ABC)
Two weeks ago, the 2019 finale of the year in roses & romance went down when Bachelor in Paradiseconcluded with its 3-hour finale, wrapping up a year that began with Colton Underwood jumping the fence on The Bachelor and continuing with Hannah Brown endure her final two suitors cheating on her on The Bachelorette. But those who give the fandom two nights of magic of begin the work week, they always seem to save the juicy drama for the last act of each annual cycle when the weather is at its hottest and when the focus shifts from the Villa in the Southern California hills and beyond to the Hotel by the sands down south of the border.
In the wake of Jed Wyatt being caught in a back home relationship and Hannah turning to Tyler Cameron, Season 6 of BIP began in early August with those rejected by her, Colton and other leading men & ladies for another shot at love and roses. There were rumors about goings on with some of the suitors when they went to country music's own Coachella, Stagecoach after the main event in Palm Springs before they went to Mexico. There was L.A. recruiter Dean Unglert leaving paradise in mid-August, only to shockingly return two weeks later to ask model Caelynn Miller-Keyes to take the first flight out of town with him... and there was the one & only John Paul Jones and him with Tayshia Adams.
Of course, no battle for love would be complete without any sort of physical activity: bad blood still boiling from batting to score Becca Kaufin saw Jordan Kimball and NY actor Christian Estrada get together next to a pinata and then proceeded to get into fisticuffs in the Mexican night, and both had their hotel keys swiped away from them. Blake Horstmann encountered a tangled web with him, Caelynn, Tayshia and Kentucky dental assistant Kristina Schulman and led him to also quit. And yes, Hannah B. came by to the villa for a brief visit before going onto Dancing with the Stars.
In the end, three couples made it all the way to the engagement phase by the beach: San Diego tech entrepreneur Dylan Barbour & Alabama model Hannah Godwin, and Chicago entrepreneur Chris Bukowski & L.A. medical sales representative Katie Morton joined Chris Harrison to cap off the summer with engagement rings adorning their fingers... so did another couple that helped to highlight this breakthrough year for the LGBT community.
For only the second time on BIP, a non Bachelor/Bachelorette alum made their way to paradise when L.A. video production assistant Kristian Haggerty joined the villa in week 3 in Mexico in having had a relationship with Dallas interior designer Demi Burnett. Their relationship marked the first time a same-sex relationship had been seen on the original U.S. version of The Bachelor franchise during the same summer that Are You The One? embraced the LGBT crowd, and Demi & Kristian joined the other two couples in getting engaged to wrap up 2019 in Bachelor Nation. And on the reunion, Bachelorette 15 suitor Peter Weber was named the next leading Bachelor star for 2020.
For anyone who identifies themselves as part of Bachelor Nation - this blogger's family included, it's safe to say that 2019 has been quite a year in watching the most well-known of all the romantic reality TV franchises... a subgenre that has now become a rapidly growing stock in the entertainment business thanks to all the shows of love and romance dominating our screens.
It began in the winter with the 23rd season of The Bachelor starring Colton Underwood, marked by the now famous moment of him jumping the fence of his Portuguese countryside house and running for his life after a date with the eventual winner, L.A. teacher Cassie Randolph. It continued with the 15th renewal of The Bachelorette with Hannah Brown, the tabloid story that saw her turn from Jed to Tyler, and the news that's broke in since last week's "Someone You Should Know" on some of its most notable alumni when word came of Tyler bolting from a scheduled court appearance back home in Florida to date one of the world's most beautiful models & a boy bander's ex, Gigi Hadid.
Bachelor in Paradise 4 cast (ABC)
This week, the annual trilogy of Monday night love on the American Broadcasting Company comes to an end with the ninth installment of The Bachelor franchise's summer spin-off series as Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants get another chance at love after getting eliminated from their original show. After three seasons of Bachelor Pad earlier in this decade, Bachelor in Paradise began in 2014 and follows along the lines of its predecessor in featuring rejected suitors in a tropical destination... a fitting way for the nine months of romance to end before giving way to Dancing with the Stars.
While Pad was essentially a summer version of The Bachelor Winter Games with challenges and a cash prize given to its winners, BIP has the feel of a traditional Bachelor season with the trademark rose ceremonies, dates and the like. Some key differences include that there's no singular star for everyone else to focus themselves on in this co-ed house, elimination procedures rotate between men and women following the first week's rose ceremonies when two suitors who don't pair up get dumped, and two new people arrive on the beach each week, Ex On The Beach style.
Bachelor in Paradise 6 cast (ABC)
BIP Season 6 began on Monday & Tuesday with twenty rejects getting another shot at love and a rose, including those like Hannah Godwin, Cam Ayala, Caelynn Miller-Keyes, Clay Harbor, Blake Horstmann and Wills Reid -- most of whom joined MTV alum Chase McNary to rewatch themselves again at Bachelor watch parties at his bar in Denver. On TV, we saw Blake go on a quest for love with Hannah, Caelynn and Tayshia Adams; Clay living with his exes, and Demi Burnett reveal that she has a girlfriend - the first same-sex relationship to be explored on the Bachelor franchise. And that's just the first two episodes, with plenty of fireworks to come including conflict of the verbal and physical variety... just your ordinary reality TV love fest.
If this 2019 edition of BIP promises to be the perfect end to this drama-filled year in Bachelor Nation, than they always save the best for last. But fans of this franchise also know about the 2017 summer in Paradise that was marred by the soap opera of Corinne Olympios and Demario Jackson's fling that got a bit too up close and personal, and saw everyone in Disney hierarchy panic like those dalmatians when they heard Cruella De Vil was at the door. But that fourth season of BIP isn't alone when it comes to sparking a bit of controversy to get everyone talking and viewers tuning in thanks to some good publicity from all the online fodder.
Three years ago, Chad Johnson became 2016's recipient of the award of "Bachelor Contestant You'd Love to Hate." After what went down on his original Bachelorette season with Jojo Fletcher with that memorable one-month stint in the Villa de La Vina, then no one was expecting what would go down on BIP 4, which added more to laying claim to being one of the year's biggest reality villains, all while a guy from the O.C. was busy pickpocketing his partner on an Argentinean mountaintop.
Chad moved into the house appearing to had plenty to drink on the plane ride down south and picked up where he left off in California with confronting castmates, threatening hotel employees and everything that's NSFW. But it was his outburst at partially-handicapped contestant Sarah Herron (who only has half of her right arm) drew ire from the social sphere, and it led to host Chris Harrison to take him aside. And it was the confrontation between the host and him that saw Chad go home, with the host adding that his exit was the outcome everyone behind the scenes wanted.
That is only part of the story of the man they call "Bad Chad" -- stints on Famously Single with a pre-daddy Ronnie, the Celeb Big Brother UK house, and his time on Ex On The Beach that included that relationship with Challenge Nicole Ramos. But since so much of what has happened to Chad from when he first appeared on our screens is of the kind of moments that would make us cringe, it would not be right for us to spotlight at least one moment of lightheartedness that is as bright as that photo of him above. That would come a year after Hurricane Chad came on shore not once, but twice.
In late summer of 2017 - during the chaos that was Bachelor in Paradise 4, Jimmy Kimmel Live and its host took advantage of what was going on in Mexico to do their own take on the summer's hottest romantic reality show, and perhaps poke a little bit of fun amidst what was almost the final straw for BIP. But there was a twist to all this in the late night talker's parodies of all things Bachelor: instead of hot girls and guys who got rejected on national TV, the stars of JKL's Bachelor in Paradise would be adorable 3- and 4-year-old toddlers who are more at home watching Mickey Mouse and would be fast asleep while mommy and daddy are watching drunken drama at the start of the work week.
The third episode of Baby Bachelor in Paradise, which aired on the Sept. 5, 2017 installment of Kimmel, saw none other than Chad come walking into the Bachelor pad with tykes all over him. At first, he says that getting another chance to get a rose and find love would be a good thing... but it's when he finds himself in the company of pre-kindergarteners that he knows that getting to babysit the kids will be a challenge in itself... especially with one of them splashing water at him in the kid-sized pool in the backyard.
Below are this kid-friendly episodes of "Babies in Bachelor Land" with Bad Chad... perfect for laughs after a summertime pool session with the Bachelor, Bachelorette and suitors in waiting. And maybe after you see these videos, can we rename this guest babysitter... Dad Chad?
- I AM DC #DCBLOG Updated 8/18/19 to include Episode 4 of BBIP including Chad re-appearing in its season finale
For the latest installment of Someone You Should Know, this post takes place during a time where those who love (and who can even pretend to love) romantic reality television are looking at the shows that are on right now as sort of like Christmas. There's the new season of Ex On The Beach that just premiered, the new U.S. version of global phenomenon Love Island, the groundbreaking sexually-fluid season of Are You The One?, and the anticipation for the 4th overall season in the fall of an early pioneer in this field, Temptation Island. But all things in this subgenre lead, point to, and come home to the most successful of these franchises.
Hannah B. and Bachelorette 15 cast (ABC)
This part week saw the culmination of the quest of a former pageant queen to find her Prince Charming on the fifteenth installment of The Bachelorette. Just fresh off of appearing on Colton Underwood’s most eventful season of The Bachelor earlier this winter, 24-year-old Tuscaloosa, AL interior designer and Miss Alabama USA 2018 Hannah Brown was graced with the company of 30 eligible suitors as they looked to win her heart… the first leading lady of this series to finish outside the final four of her previous season and yet still ascend to the role of headliner.
The summer-long lovefest in Malibu & beyond saw plenty of midweek water-cooler moments in a season Entertainment Tonight wrote helped to reinvent the Bachelor Nation franchise in a time where romantic reality TV has now become commonplace with more shows in the game now than it has been before or since, and all fighting to get viewers' attention. There was the countless antics of Georgia man Luke Parker - including Hannah's viral line "I f__ed in a windmill," Florida college grad Tyler Gwozdz getting sent home for suspicious online behavior, and so many other things in a season that the man who's been there for every step of the Bachelor journey, host Chris Harrison, told ET was one that "was a long time coming."
That also included the final act that played out last Monday and Tuesday in Greece where the last rose ceremony, final dates and proposals took place. There, the final two of Nashville musician Jed Wyatt and fan favorite Florida contractor Tyler Cameron made final pitches to Hannah, and the former won out the big prize. But in an eerie encore of what went down last year with Arie Luyendyk Jr., People Magazine spilled the tea of Jed having a secret relationship with fellow Nashville singer Haley Stevens while filming took place, and in the snap of a finger gone was the engagement ring as the girl they call Hannah Beast turned her attention to Tyler.
