Why This Season Was SO BAD - Grading Peter's Season of The Bachelor 

Shouldn't be surprised that on Peter's season everything got the D

The Peter Madi break up after like 48 hours was just the cherry on top

This Bachelor was trash. This cast was trash. This season was trash. The overall score is: TRASH.

This season was the worst ever at least Juan Pablo had good women

I’m still in the boat of Peter should NOT have been the bachelor. Seeing all the drama within his family, the lack of romance because he was still SO IN LOVE with Hannah B, and the overall lack of maturity, it should’ve been Mike from the get-go. I think the producers will always regret that. Think of all the new viewers they would’ve gotten with Mike. I hate that this season made me not love Peter anymore. He was a real good guy in the bachelorette, so sad to watch his downfall every week.

i hated almost every girl on this season lol. only thing that made it worse was peter giving the same vague speech to every girl.

Remember on Colton's season when Cassie left he was done with the show he didn't continue. He jumped a fence to get away from the show. He didn't settle for anyone else and he went after her. I respected him for that. He was not going to propose to whoever was left, he wasn't going to settle. Then Ari he proposed to Becca then did go with Lauren, but Ari and Lauren are married with a baby now. Those two men fought for the women they loved. Peter didn't. Really disappointing.

Disappointed with Peter’s lack of integrity. He should have never proposed to Hannah Ann. I admired her backbone in confronting him, though. I’m sure Madison ultimately decided she was not ok with it either. Now Colton? That boy has integrity. When he knew his heart, he followed it and said goodbye to all others. Peter was selfish.

i hope Chris Harrison and the producers are taking notes

It was a trash season I would’ve respect Peter if he told Hannah Ana he need space on there one on one and went after madi like Colton did or not sleep with the other two girls if he really loved her like he was saying I think that’s what madi was getting at

This season sucked because all the women + Peter came across as these manufactured Social media Influencers who were there for the likes. All of them even looked the same. The same lip filler with the same style. None of them were unique. Casting failed big time.

Peter just wasn’t ready for a serious relationship. There didn’t seem to be any real chemistry. Very lame season

One thing you didn't mention was when the host approached Madison behind Peter's back seems to be pure manipulation of production. That whole Madi and Peter trying shouldn't have been forced. Production should be an "F"

Peter was manipulative trash when he tried to convince Hannah Ann it was ok for him to reach out to Hannah Brown for closure

Wish Mike would have been the Bachelor...

This season was exhausting. I’m almost relieved that ‘Ette and likely BIP are postponed. I need a break.

Well graded! I feel so duped by this whole season. Seeing how terribly Peter hurt Hannah Ann and how he cashed in Madison two days after the Finale (allowing Satan aka Barbara) to continue slamming Madison on social media? Brutal. Peter is a nice guy but he sure played all these women well! His Mom bragging he’s slept with 169 women and how proud of him she is for that just killed it for me.

That Mean Girls reference was spot on, ive been thinking that the whole season

We asked for Mike, but got this disappointment instead. Should have given the people what they wanted!

Production should get an f way over prioritizied drama over romance

Lead: F , Cast: D , Production: D- , weber family: F- , Romance: D

I give it an F, it was a hot mess express the whole season and I almost dreaded watching each episode. Plainly put, it wasn't fun or enjoyable to watch

I don’t feel bad for him. I heard he’s a player. He didn’t break up with Hannah Ann cuz of Madi. Notice how Chris Harrison had to set them up. After he broke up with Hannah he was sleeping around.

Had hope in the beginning. Honestly, wasn't expecting a lot since he kept Victoria F as long as he did 🤷🏻‍♀️

Damn, this is exactly why I wanted mike instead of Peter you could tell he’s not cut out for this.

This season sucked. None of the girls were likeable and all were catty. Peter made dumb mistakes and I genuinely didn’t like him at the end. Bleh season

Peter proved why he was single entirely. No shock there. If he gets married before 40 I’ll be shocked.

When I first met Peters parents in Hannah Browns season it scared me I was like Hannah RUN!!! she was like wtf?? The whole moment 😂😂

This is why Mike should have been the Bachelor.

He will NEVER be HAPPY as long as he let's his mom tell him what to do. He needs a new address.

the word “oof” really does summarize this season.

Peter is a mama’s boy, and until he can separate from mommy dearest, he is not ready to settle down.

hannah b's season drama was at least entertaining... peter's season was soooo tiring and honestly at episode 2 i was so over it. peter looked rly out of it at the end, he tried too much to be a "good bachelor" but ultimately failed. the season was hella overproduced and just meh to watch...

When scoring Production you left out our man Chris Harrison, who I'm sorely disappointed in. Not only MUST he have been consulted on and agreed to housing the final three together during Fantasy Suites week (and possibly including making sure Madison went last), but him personally traveling to Madison to inform her that Pete was available and interested when he must have known or should have been told that (1) Peter didn't really know what he wanted; (2) Peter's family universally loved Hanna and did not love Madison ;and (3) part of the objection is the same one I had after their one on one in Peru, which is religious incompatibility and Peter's lies to Madison making her think the difference wasn't that great. Chris has grown into Papa for the extended BN family and learned to provide emotional support. If he wanted a happy ending to the show why not step in and tell all of this to Peter and offer him with or without Hanna to get counseling to help him focus on his commitment to Hanna? Help him with the choice he had made. Did he step in the way he did because he felt guilty for setting Madison up to exit? I thought Chris Harrison was great with Colton and Hannah Brown and sometimes is the BEST part of Paradise. But for this season I give him an F.

Love is blind kicked the bachelor’s ass in romance and fun.

With Coronavirus quarantine, this is making my day.

And him choosing Hannah Anna was to please his mom just my opinion 🤷🏾‍♀️ and that wasn’t fair to Hannah she was definitely my favorite

We’ve had terrible leads, but this cast was trying so hard to be likable that literally none of them were memorable. I can remember maybe 5 of the girls, and I don’t even like those 5. Their fights were pointless and all the girls with interesting stories all left really early.

Not all of this is Peter and/or his family's fault. The producers manipulated and interfered EVERY single chance they got start to finish, and I blame them. They knew sweet, virgin Madison was the wrong choice for Windmill Peter, so they gave her the treasured date to his parents' wedding renewal...Peter and Madison especially bonded. They set up Champagn Gate, put Victoria on the Rice Concert Date, brought Alaya back, allowed Kelsy to go see Peter alone, unprecedentedly put all 3 girls in the room together during the Fantasy Suites to cause tension, kept Madison outside talking over their problems with Peter's folks waiting inside for entirely too long, encouraged Chris Harrison to go to Madison's home when she had already told Peter that she loved him but they were not right for each other, and Chris Harrison stoked Peter's Mom right on along by encouraging to vent and vent. Chris Harrison should have left Barb out of it. The Producers get an F on this one.

Can't agree more with this rating, very disappointed

In my opinion, this is the second worst season of the Bachelor EVER. Right after the "#1 It's OK" guy.

I think a good rule of thumb is if you are the lead, you need to remember that your choice will watch the show back...and will find out she was your only choice

comparing mckenna to THE JOHN PAUL JONES ???? that’s disrespect if i’ve ever heard it

I'm not surprised they broke up that soon, I would not be able to deal with how unsupportive Barb was of the relationship. I don't blame Madison for not wanting to deal with that loll

Mike would have gotten an A+!

He was so indecisive because hes such a mommas boy & his mother makes all his decisions for him & He gravitated towards dramatic women because his mother is also manipulative & dramatic. Our parents are our introduction to love & influence the mates we choose because we are often trying to create dynamics we are familiar with because they make us comfortable & we subconsciously associate them with love... this is why the dramatic manipulative ones got so far

AND you didn't even mention the whole Barb finasco. God this season was BAAAD

I was disappointed but hopeful when Peter was cast as the bachelor, but I trusted production. Now we all realize that they just cast Peter because Peter and Chris are neighbors and they loved Peter's family. Let this season be stricken from the books and go back to the time where Peter K. from Rachel's season is the only Peter that matters.

Yeah this season sucked

It really should've been Mike.

Alayah is glad that she did not make it further in Peter's season.

Remember when Peter swore to everyone that "this process works"? I wonder where he got that from considering he was on ya know..Hannah's season!!

I ever said from the first time I saw Peter on The Bachelorette that he was going to be great as a Bachelor, he’s the whole package, but the season and the women as a whole, is a DISASTER!

Definitely bad. I think Peter is probably a good person but he is just way too immature for the lead and he didn’t have a lot of help from the many adult children brought on as women. The good thing that could possibly come out of this is that he may take this as a learning experience and start to grow up. Better late than never! First step: move out of mom and dad’s house.

This is how I have felt about the past couple of seasons of the Bachelor, the leads have all been awful; Arie, Colton, and Peter. I hope Clare’s season changes things

I can't be the only one that things Hannah Ann came on for clout. She could make herself cry a coupe times for no reason, then didn't seem upset at all when Peter broke off the engagement. She also has never been in love, clearly isn't in the same life stage, and just didn't seem very endearing.

Something I just realized. I was very much for Mike becoming the Bachelor. Although Peter was cute, I remember thinking but I don't really know who Peter is except for the fact that he is a pilot and close to his family. I remember thinking Tyler has shared about himself Mike has shared about previous relationships and pain of a miscarriage, but throughout the whole Bachelorette season we never really saw who Peter was. But I guess I was charmed by his cuteness, seemingly innocence and supportive family. Now that I think about the Bachelor season, I realize, I still have no idea, other than he is a pilot, loves his family, very physical and additionally now that he is indecisive. Its really ridiculous because so many people make joke like Mike would have been different. But seriously, Mike would have given us so much more depth. We saw that at least during Hannah season. He would probably also have made mistakes but at least we have a sense about who he is and what he values.

i’ve never clicked faster in my life

Honestly they prioritized drama over getting to know people, and then showing the difficulties of deciding between good people. I'm not here for it... I'd hope that they were able to go back to that past formula, but I don't have a lot of hope at the moment. TBH it feels like an MTV show now.

I had to see this, thanks so much Bachelor Fantake!!!

Love your vids Bachelor fan take! Your videos have made this season way more tolerable

Clearly he is way too used to the emotional drama of his mom to be able to create or reward a different and more sane dynamic with an emotionally mature woman.

I feel like this season went so fast it was horrible

Literally love this channel SO MUCH

This was the worst season ever. Too much drama. These women seemed desperate to find love. What happened to calm? I think this will lose viewers if something doesnt change.

Smh Mike wouldn’t have put up with Victoria’s shit for that long.

If not for recent Hannah B and Tyler updates, I would be completely depressed after this season.

this season made me feel exhausted, mentally exhausted...

So I just rewatched every Grading video that you have, and one thing that was common was the fact that production's grade went down since Colton's season. And this is the lowest grade you ever gave since you started. I really think the producers are watching this channel or something because with Clare's season I think they are going to change things up a notch. Whether it happens or not because of coronavirus

The only person I was rooting for throughout this entire season was Madison. She was pretty much the Peter of Hannah Brown’s season who stayed out of all the drama and would always just sit there and smile. It just sucks that at the last minute they found out their lifestyles weren’t as the same as they thought they were, so they broke up. I loved watching her though especially on one-on-ones where we got to see more of the playful and social side of her. Even when she was getting treated horribly by Peter’s mom she was still super kind and patient with her which just went to show how great of a person she was.

I was waiting so long for this video tyy 🙏

THANK YOU for putting everything I want in a video so that the producers can see it

I never watched an episode I only watched ur recaps and I’m glad lol

Having Madison's fantasy suite last was also drama that went too far. And it's sad because Peter believed so much in this process but arguably it was that production decision that set the stage for their break up.

"I was completely shocked by the 48 hr window until news of the Peter-Madi break-up." Said no one, ever.

I've been wondering why this season bothered me so much and I couldn't really even put my finger on it. This video perfectly summed it up for me. Also, I too was most invested 100% when Hannah Brown was in the earlier episodes. Should I just start watching Love is Blind instead?

Peter wanted so badly to be the “perfect” bachelor that he gave his season away to the producers. He wasn’t a strong lead so ofc others stepped in to fill that entertainment value we are seeking.. smh. I have a feeling he might end up in BIP.. 😒

His season was so frustrating, I literally felt like I knew none of the women, I wasn’t invested in any relationship, and Peter was insufferable at times to watch. He handled so many things so so poorly, and he should have never proposed to Hannah Ann knowing damn well he wanted Maddie the whole show.

Lead: Peter rewarded people who are just like his mother - immature, manipulative, and toxic. Victoria F was the perfect example of this. She turned me off real quick with the whining, it got so old real fast. Back to Peter, man he;s so immature and doesn't know what he wants. I'm giving him an F. I used to pity him and even wanted an "In defense of Peter" video, but he's gotten worse to the point where I'm so over him. Cast: The only ones I really liked the whole time were Alayah and Madison, other than that I didn't really care for anyone else. I used to like both Victoria F and P until they turned me off with their respective drama. Lexi and Sydney annoyed the living day hell out of me with their mean girl behavior (Natasha used to be like this until she composed herself later on). Mykenna didn't peeve me that much, she was meh. Tammy was meh but then she annoyed me when she meddled herself in unnecessary drama. I would give the cast a D+ as well. Production: F! I think that speaks for itself. Romance The only ounce of romance that was displayed and was somewhat genuine was Peter and Madison. But now that you mentioned it, Hannah and Peter had more romance (this felt like a long season so I honestly forgot about this). I would give it a D. Overall grade: D- ; I would never had thought that I would hate a season this much. I thought Colton's and Hannah B's was annoying and bad but Peter's took the cake.

Excellent analyses !!!

Tyler Cameron as bachelor could never!

My wife made an interesting observation....Colton was shown taking a shower on a weekly basis because he was buff. Peter has the body of a 13 year old boy. No shower scenes, not even many shirtless scenes. She was highly disappointed.

Yeeooo him saying “OH! *this happened* OH! *that happened*” I was dying! 😂

Hahahaha this was AMAZING. The editing is so good.

F- I regret watching.

I blame the producers. Peter seemed ready to move on from Hannah B and take on the challenge of being the Bachelor. Instead, the producers throw her in the mix and revived their relationship. So right from the start Peters being set up to fail. Then in the end, Peter broke off his engagement with HA and seemed content with just being single and accepting that he wasn’t going to end up with anyone. BUT INSTEAD, Chris Harrison decides to bring back Maddison and now Peter has to deal with her again. Can’t really blame Peter too much.

Quite honestly, YOU, Bachelor Fantake, were the best part of this season. I enjoyed watching your recaps far far more than the actual show. Keep up the outstanding work!

The best part of the season was the dates on the Gold Coast, Aus. I live in Sydney and went to QLD for a holiday before covid restrictions. It was so cool to be sitting by the pool watching Peter and Madi climb the building I could see right in front of me

I knew as soon as he went home, and his mom got him alone. He was going to break up with that girl. 😂😂 mama’s boy.

THANK YOU for noting that Kelley cheated on the first group date. Everyone seemed to forget that and sing her praises.

I think it’s a little funny that Peter spent so much time trying to convince the women to “trust the process” and that it works and blah blah blah. Meanwhile, his ending... 🤷‍♀️

This was the worst season of the show I’ve ever seen. Honestly felt like a waste of time

oh also almost every girl who made it past week 2 has shaded peter just to name a few jasmine alayah alexa sarah savannah shiann deandra hannah ann kelley natasha kelsey

Mike would never

Been waiting for this!

🤣Hilarious. Worse Batchelor season ever on history. Think Chris tried to fixed it at the end by going to Madison but it was ruined by Peter’s dramatic mom. Glad Madison got away...she deserves a whole lot better. Giving it an F.

F-

peters family gets an F 🤦‍♀️

Well done! I agree on all points!

I thought I was crazy for not having a favorite the whole season this time around. Everything you said makes so much sense
