Former Studio 10 executive producer Rob McKnight told The Daily Telegraph on Thursday that the ratings setback for The Bachelorette is something that would cause the network concern.
‘To me it’s a mixture of viewer fatigue with three Bachelor franchises back-to-back and just bad casting,’ he said.
‘While the idea of two sisters is an interesting take, these two young ladies just don’t have the appeal of others we’ve seen in the role,’ he said.
