What's happening in the Bachelor franchise?

Nick Viall 0:23
Don't miss the all-new season of Farmer Wants a Wife Thursday on Fox. What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap Edition. I am your host, Nick, and everyone is fired at The Bachelor. I don't even know who's running that show anymore.
Natalie Joy 0:56
Nobody.
Nick Viall 0:56
Nobody. We got after the final rose next week, and I don't know who's in charge.
Natalie Joy 1:02
We don't even know if it's going to air.
Nick Viall 1:04
Yeah, Grant's in charge. Amongst the most recent, what, Deadline did an article a couple weeks ago talking about the toxic workplace environment over at the, I don't even know what you call it, because Warner Brothers produces the show, but Warner Brothers, it's produced by Next Media, which was the company I think originally owned or started by Mike Fleiss, I think.

Why is there drama with Bachelor producers?

Nick Viall 1:29
And that's where all the production team like works out of. But it's also like kind of run by Warner Brothers. I don't know. I don't totally, totally get it. Anyways. Yeah. So the showrunners Claire and Bennett are no longer with the show.
Guest Speaker 2 1:43
Do we think they left on their own accord?
Nick Viall 1:45
I think they got fired.
Guest Speaker 2 1:46
You think they got fired?
Nick Viall 1:47
Yeah. I don't think they were like, oh, there's some rumors going on about us. You know what? Let's, for the good of this show, let's- Let's step away. Let's step away. I think, you know, it's been fascinating as someone, I, like, Bennett was kind of like the last, I know, I think, to my knowledge, I know two people who still are working.
Guest Speaker 2 2:04
Well, no longer Bennett.
Nick Viall 2:05
Yeah, I know. I'm including Bennett in that, but I don't know.
Guest Speaker 2 2:07
You said, I- I still know two people. Oh. Who's the other person?
Guest Speaker 1 2:12
Oh.
Guest Speaker 2 2:14
Mystery.
Nick Viall 2:17
It seems like, so when Mike Fleiss left the show, there was a big, I think we talked about this, this big kind of shakeup. And Mike Fleiss is, you know, for those who don't know the creator of the show, he's been like living on an island in literally Hawaii. When he felt like kind of sticking his nose in it, he would like tell people what to do. And then sometimes he would take a hiatus. It was kind of very, no one really knew what was going on. Anyways, and so when he stepped out or got pushed out or whatever, they're still like, people think he's still very much involved, but there was a big shakeup and they brought in this Claire person from Bachelor Canada, brought her down. And then a lot of people who were kind of running things were let go.
Nick Viall 2:55
Bennett was like the lone survivor of like the OG group. And a lot of people had hurt feelings about, you know, how that all went down. And I think a lot of people felt like bennett left them kind of hanging so to speak mixed feelings you know i mean it can go both ways uh business is business but like a lot i think a lot of people uh were upset with i got i think bennett you know because he was kind of the last man standing and this claire person came in from bachelor canada and those two kind of seemingly took over they kind of got in locks up with each other and it and again these are all just rumors or just you know opinions from people who have worked on the show and things that i've heard but it seems like a lot of people they all kind of blame claire
Natalie Joy 3:36
Well, what seasons has Claire run?
Nick Viall 3:38
I don't forget when she started. She worked on Joey's season for sure. There was another person. His name was Jason. And it was Jason, Bennett and Claire kind of running things. And then Jason got pushed out by Claire and Bennett. Allegedly. And somehow, some way, Jason got let go.
Amanda 3:53
Allegedly.
Nick Viall 3:53
I heard that, you know, they kind of pushed him out. But again, this is all speculation. This is all rumors.
Amanda 3:57
They're not rumors. They're whisperings.
Nick Viall 3:59
Well, I know what I'm sharing are opinions from people. But like, yeah, this is what I've heard from people like in it. So, yeah, it's kind of it's kind of fascinating.
