Some seasons take time to get going. Also, there has been a <em>lot\u00a0<\/em>going on in the world over the past few weeks. It\u2019s fair to speculate this has made an impact.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said, it\u2019s also hard to ignore the ratings decline entirely. It\u2019s noticeable. This has been one of the lower-rated seasons on record, and ABC exec Rob Mills even commented on the matter to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2021\/tv\/news\/the-bachelor-ratings-matt-james-season-diversity-1234887930\/\">Variety:<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cI actually think you\u2019re going to see ratings rise more exponentially than you would during previous seasons because people are going to start talking about it and word-of-mouth is going to kick in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mills suggested that Matt being a Bachelor Nation unknown is one of the reasons for the drop \u2026 but is it the only one? We look towards the short hiatus between Clare Crawley\/Tayshia Adams\u2019 season and this one. Bachelor Nation burnout is a real thing among more casual fans, and it was a lot to ask people to come back only a couple of weeks after one season for the start of the next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want to watch our most-recent\u00a0<em>The Bachelor\u00a0<\/em>video review,\u00a0<\/strong>check it out below!

No, it\u2019s not anything related to Queen Victoria. It\u2019s gotta be something that we haven\u2019t seen on the franchise below and something that could court more newcomers. Maybe we\u2019ll get there; it feels like producers are certainly trying something with the whole idea of throwing more people into the mix next week. It\u2019s going to at least lead to fighting \u2014 we know that to be true.<\/p>\n<p>So in the end, we should have the ratings conversation at this point in the season \u2014 but to blame it on Matt and Matt alone is just silly. There is so much story left to tell \u2014 and by the way, the whole low-ratings narrative is just based on the live numbers. There are people watching in droves after the fact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Want to see where Matt\u2019s season is going from here?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_think_about_the_ratings_for_Matts_season_of_The_Bachelor\"><\/span>What do you think about the ratings for Matt\u2019s season of\u00a0<em>The Bachelor?<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let us know right now in the comments!
