As previously reported, the 2020 Olympics were postponed until 2021. The announcement was made March 24. The Olympics will now start July 23, 2021. It is unclear if “The Bachelor Summer Games” will also run in 2021.
“The Bachelor Summer Games” was set to follow the set up of “The Bachelor Winter Games.” The “Winter Games” aired four episodes alongside the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018. Contestants from all different countries’ “Bachelor” episodes were brought together and competed in challenges and attempted to fall in love.

I’m not that upset about this part of “The Bachelor” franchise being canceled. The “Winter Games” wasn’t that good or entertaining. It only lasted four episodes.
Instead, we’re stuck with the new singing “Bachelor” show that is set to air April 13. That also should have been canceled, but I guess they had already filmed it. I wasn’t planning on watching it, but I don’t have anything better to do in quarantine anyway.
For those who don’t know, the new singing show is a singing competition and contestants are encouraged to fall in love. Classic, Bachelor Nation.
