How The Bachelorette can turn the Clare Crawley-Tayshia Adams transition into a success story

The Ringer

"One thing The Bachelorette shouldn’t do is ignore the drama happening behind the scenes," says  Amelia Wedemeyer. "This franchise is at its best when the contestants stray from the norm of dating 25-plus people over the course of a little less than two months, and with this Clare-to-Tayshia transition, the producers have a real opportunity to change things up. The Bachelor likes to portray itself as a show about romance and finding true love, but at its core, it’s really about one thing: drama. Think about the success of the Arie-Becca split screen, Colton’s fence jump, Hannah B.’s windmill conversation with Luke P., and the rise of the chaotic Bachelor in Paradise in recent years. Now they’ve been gifted with an even more singular, dramatic scenario; they’d be silly not to give viewers an all-access look into how Clare’s season was quickly derailed."
