Chris Harrison couldn’t be more thrilled now that he’s no longer part of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette franchise.

A source told Star that the former host still watches the show because he’s secretly thinking that they made a mistake by letting him go. 

Other than his, Harrison is also thrilled to know that the franchise is losing its loyal viewers because the ratings have not been good.

“He’s confident that the reason it isn’t doing so well is because it lacks his magnetic presence. He thinks it’s absolutely karma,” the source said.

Last year, Harrison announced his exit from the franchise after years of hosting the programs because he was accused of defending a contestant who made racist remarks on the show. 

Following the backlash that he received, Harrison decided that it was time to quit the franchise for good. He was replaced by a former contestant who is still hosting the show today.

However, even though it may be true that the ratings of The Bachelorette have not been as high as it once was, it’s not true that Harrison is celebrating the franchise’s losses.

It’s not also accurate to say that Harrison thinks it’s karma that the show has not been doing well just because he’s no longer part of it. After all, The Bachelor has been his home for many years, and leaving the franchise doesn’t mean that he would cut ties with everyone that he met along the way.

Meanwhile, The Bachelorette broke tradition during its 19th season when they decided to tap two former contestants to headline the program. Gabby and Rachel are searching for love in the hopes of getting engaged at the end of the season. 

However, having each other experience the journey together doesn’t necessarily mean that their ride would be easy. After all, they are competing for love from the same people. And in the end, the bachelors will also have the opportunity to decide who they came for.

For instance, Rachel previously gave her rose to one of the male contestants but was told that he was there for Gabby. And a similar thing also happened to Gabby because the man that she was interested in wanted to get to know Rachel better.

So, it’s unclear how the rest of the season would turn out but it will most likely be exciting.
