01The take
Jen Schefft.
A former Bachelor finalist takes the calendar back, and the franchise leans into the returnee playbook for the second time. Eight episodes, the Agoura Hills compound, and travel dates that nudge the show off the property in ways the producers were still learning to use. The casting is competent without catching fire, and the season earns its place more for what it teaches the format than for what it leaves behind. A transitional document before the show paused.
