THE BACHELOR – “2602” – Clayton moves forward in his journey to find love with the 22 incredible women who remain. After moving into the Bachelor Mansion for the first time since the pandemic began, these eligible singles are ready to kick off a week of dates! On the season’s first group date, celebrity guest Hilary Duff enlists the help of the ladies to throw a dream Beverly Hills birthday party, but when one woman is more interested in spending time with Clayton than the kids, the others have strong feelings to share. Later, one lucky lady flies high with Clayton on the first one-on-one date featuring a surprise musical performance by Amanda Jordan; and Ziwe stops by the second group date to help Clayton spot potential red flags among his bachelorettes. After the dates have all ended, a major storm brews heading into the cocktail party when a shocking secret about a woman who already has a rose is revealed. Will Clayton be forced to do something that no other Bachelor has ever done before? Find out on “The Bachelor,” airing MONDAY, JAN. 10 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC. (ABC/John Fleenor)
CLAYTON ECHARD
We’re two episodes into Clayton’s season of The Bachelor. It’s not common to take a break this early, so what is going on with the schedule?
There isn’t going to be a new episode of The Bachelor tonight. It is certainly going to be disappointing news for those who are ready to see what’s next. The drama is certainly heating up.
We don’t get a rerun of the series either. ABC isn’t airing any normal programming tonight, and we’ll get to why that is shortly. The good news is that this is just a short hiatus.
Why isn’t a new episode of The Bachelor on tonight?
The lack of new episode is due to the not-so-normal programming on ABC. The network will have the Super Bowl Wildcard game. It’s the playoff between the Cardinals and the Rams. It’s sure to be a good game, and ABC won’t want to pass up on the good chance of live ratings.
Sports still bring in more live ratings than scripted shows. A lot of this has to do with preferring to watch sport live and skipping the commercials when watching scripted shows.
When will The Bachelor return with new episodes?
We don’t need to wait long for Clayton’s journey to continue. The new episode will air next Monday, Jan. 24. This is at the usual 8/7c time with a two-hour episode. It will run into the premiere of the new series Promised Land.
We’ll get to see more of the Cassie drama. She currently has a rose, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to keep it. Will Clayton take it back and send her home? That’s something we’ll need to see next week.
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC. Catch up with the season on Hulu.
