afaik, no, but season 4 was expected to be the end, so they went hard on the A plot of s4 and 5 ending the series, then got a fifth season and was stuck with the B plot for both seasons

Was the Bachelor an outlier, or typical?

The bachelor heralded the decline of single camera productions as the primary television format. Hence 20 years and more of reality television. Well that and survivor and big brother

in a similar vein, the show sliders was embroiled in gay retard drama that ruined the original premise and made all the actors hate working on it. and also made the show markedly worse.

That's kind of unique because the writers managed to screw up the show out of spite independently of the ways the execs were screwing it up

Are they still making more Seasons of Survivor, or has it finally ended for good? The popularity of shows like Survivor also lead to the Total Drama cartoon series being made.
