WhenBachelor in Paradiseseason 10began,Justin Glaze hit it off with Lexi Young, but she worried that he wasn’t over his ex-girlfriend, Susie Evans, with whom he’d broken up just four months before. When Susie arrived in Paradise after the first rose ceremony, everyone was thrown for a loop.

During the secondBachelor in Paradiseseason 10 rose ceremony, Susie didn’t receive a rose, so Justin offered her his because they’d promised to look out for each other. However,she refused to accept it,which led to her, Justin, and Lexi all leaving the show. It was shocking to see three major stars exit all at once, along with Alli Jo Hinkes and Zoe McGrady.

A majorBachelor in Paradisestar has exposed producer manipulation after several huge stars exited season 10.

In an interview with Nick Viall onThe Viall Files,Wells Adams confirmed that, as fans have long suspected, the producers manipulated the show in past seasons. When Nick told Wells that he was surprised that many of the bigger stars have leftBachelor in Paradise, Wells explained that the newBachelor in Paradiseproducers are less involved than they’ve been in the past.

Wells stated,“This new production company’s [philosophy] about producing a show is very much less hands-on than it has been in the past. You don’t get to have both. Either you have something that’s happening in real time and these are real decisions that people are making, or you’re overproducing something and forcing something into something.”

Wells continued,“You can’t have your cake and eat it too. So the producer brain in me [is] thinking like, ‘You’re not wrong.We lost a lot of stars that one rose ceremony, and it was great TV.’ You know, I was sitting on the sideline, watching it being like, ‘Oh my god. What’s gonna happen? This is amazing television.’ And, in my mind, we’re in episode 2.”

Wells then admitted that he started to wonder if losing so many stars so soon was goodforBachelor in Paradiseseason 10. He said,“And then I started being like, ‘But at what cost? We are losing a lot of really, really big names.’ And so I was like, ‘This is great television,’ but also like, ‘What are we gonna do?'”

Wells added,“And like, ‘I can’t believe Susie is gone. I can’t believe Justin’s gone.I can’t believe that was the decision that was made. I can’t believe Susie didn’t accept it.’ All this stuff.”

Wells then exposed the fact that, in previousBachelor in Paradiseseasons, the producers would’ve manipulated things to ensure that their biggest stars stayedon the show. He stated,“But it made for really, really compelling television. And, in the past, things would have been manipulated to keep people there. And make it so you had all your stars there. But that would be kind of less authentic, I think.”

Wells concluded by saying thathe didn’t think thatBachelor in Paradiseneeded big stars in order to captivate its audience. He said,“So, I mean, I know what happens ‘cause I was there. Like we’re gonna go down a road that is going to be super dramatic, and I don’t know if you needed to have big stars for those fireworks to happen.”

What Wells Adams’ Shocking Revelation Means For Bachelor In Paradise

Bachelor In Paradise Season 10 Seems More Authentic

Bachelor in Paradisefans have long suspectedthat the producers had a hand in some of the drama that occurred on the beach, and now Wells has confirmed it to be true. It’s good to hear that the new producers are less hands-on because it means thatthe contestants will have a more authentic experience.

Bachelor in Paradiseseasons 8 and 9 were complete failuresas every couple broke up after filming wrapped, whether they were engaged or dating. This was partially because the couples didn’t have as much of a chance to get to know each other because of producer manipulation with twists such as season 8’s Split House when the women and men were separated, and new people were brought in to test their relationships.

In addition,Bachelor in Paradiseseason 9’sTruth Box, Bonfire of Truth, and Comedy Roast put the contestants in uncomfortable producer-manipulated situationsthat put strains on their relationships.

WhileBachelor in Paradiseseason 10 has had the contestants compete in challenges, they’re far less intrusive than the ones that have appeared on the show in the past. In addition,the contestants have been given the time that they need to get to know each other.

It’s shocking that Wells confirmed that the producers manipulated situationsin the past in order to keep people on the show, but it’s not surprising that it was done because fans have suspected it for years.

Our Take On Bachelor In Paradise’s Producer Manipulation In Past Seasons

The New Producers Learned From Past Mistakes

Although I’m disappointed to hear from Wells that everything that I feared about producer manipulation inpastBachelor in Paradiseseasons is true, I’m relieved to find out that it seems to have stopped with season 10. It was hard to see Justin, Susie, and Lexi all leave Costa Rica in one episode, but I agree with Wells thatit was handled much more authentically than in past seasons.

I hope that the new producers continue the trend of being less involved in all of theBachelorNation series. It’s hard to watch reality TV when nothing about it feels real.I can’t wait to see if this new hands-off philosophy leads to theBachelor in Paradiseseason 10 contestants finding lasting love on the beach.
