It is the great shock that is trying to save one of the biggest bombs on television, and it has already been torpedoed. James Weir sums it up.
Like a breakfast cereal that has been renewed with the addition of more sugary shit, The Bachelor of Channel 10 is tripling the suitors and recruiting three white guys to face next season in a desperate attempt to get us interested again in all.
The Baccalaureate – now with three times the boredom!
The nasty twist of the original recipe is even less important than before. It will rot your brain and make you feel sick immediately after consumption.
Who are the three boys? Do not care. Their names are not important. Two of them look like twins and the third looks like Machine Gun Kelly’s nerdy cousin who just left home and discovered rap music.

Spectators should not be fooled. Nothing good comes out of a three-for-one deal. I once worked at a regional Jay Jays and had to organize the big presentation table full of t-shirts with slogans. “Three for $ 30!” they shouted the neon cardboard promotional signs.
One Thursday night, I ran my hand over the pile and it turned into a half-eaten cheeseburger.
This kind of gross surprise is waiting for us The Baccalaureate own agreement of three for one.
“We’re making a world first,” host Osher Gunsberg said The project this week as we announce the format change.
“No one in the world has ever had three high school graduates, so the way it works and the way everyone knows each other is very different this year.”
Sounds tedious. We’ve been watching this show for a decade, and now we need to learn new rules? Hopefully the boys treat it like a monopoly game by blatantly cheating until Osher turns the board and cries.
“It’s been fascinating,” Osh continued. “We have been going for a long time and what we are seeing is already electrifying. We didn’t just go to the headquarters and say, ‘Can we have three singles?’ but also, ‘We want to do it without candles and without fairy lights’. It was a meeting we had to go through. “
No candles or fairy lights? We knew things were serious there on Channel 10, but none of us thought they were literally struggling to keep the lights on.
Now that the last episode of Neighbours has been filmed, perhaps producers can only hack the Ramsay Street set and use it as a ignition. We’d love to see a date The Baccalaureate unfolds as Susan’s living room burns to the bottom.
All this readjustment of the format is supposed to save the problematic franchise after years of falling ratings. The show had the worst release in history last year with only 482,000 subway viewers tuned in. Over the course of the season, that number dropped to a low of 360,000.
Do The Baccalaureate An agreement of three for an even more desperate one is the fact that the producers have tried to take advantage of the latest trend of the celebrity groom: the alternate-dude.
If you go on a casual scrolling through any tabloid website, you’ll notice the rise of attractive women dating alternative-looking guys.
Kim Kardashian and comedian Pete Davidson. Megan Fox and tattoo gun rapper Machine Gun Kelly. Kourtney Kardashian and Blink-182 punk drummer Travis Barker.
These guys are not like the traditional clean hunks who are usually in front of shows The Baccalaureate. But as Network Ten tries to catch any wave it can, executives have made sure to recruit an alternative to the trio of suitors.
The Baccalaureate Machine Gun Kelly aspirant ticks all the boxes on the alternative criteria sheet: bad neck tattoos, piercings, bleached hair to get dirty.
Including an alternate-dude is The Baccalaureate diversity version.
By the time the executives locked him in with the other two boys, they would have been pumping air with their fists and thinking, “Run home!”
But these changes, like the alternate bleached hair, are only superficial.
Along with the three-on-one singles, the show has also made a radical change as it moves from Sydney to the Gold Coast, an iconic Aussie paradise synonymous with sun, surf and Schapelle Corby.
The splendor! The glamor! The glasses!
Apparently, the show wasn’t bogan enough to get started.
All these tweaks are just the latest attempts to lure us in.
The Baccalaureate it’s like a very needy ex trying desperately to get us back, making new haircuts and posting bold photos on Instagram, hoping to make us jealous of his new fun life.
Remember when the producers edited a girl to make her look like a crazy clerk? Well, now The Baccalaureate it has become clinging, obsessed with getting our attention.
Producers seem to have forgotten the number one rule of dating – stop trying so hard.
Nothing is more of a blackout.
