'ABC is really cheap': 'The Bachelor' 2024 production slammed as Canadian flag gets censored
AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Joey Graziadei finally arrived at the paradise to give another shot at love. During the premiere episode, Joey met his 32 women suitors who were competing for his heart.
However, a weird detail in the ABC show has recently left the viewers furious. Contestant Maria Georgas, who hails from Canada, brought Joey a Canadian flag to stand out from other suitors.
However, the flag's red and white logo was blurred out and the fans slammed 'The Bachelor' 2024 production for censoring the flag. A social media user commented, "Abc is really that cheap that they blurred out the Canada flag💀."
Another person tweeted, "Is it necessary for the Canada flag to be censored????" Another internet user penned, "So many Canadian ladies on this show and they can't even show the flag? I am confusion." Another critic said, "Damn does abc have beef with canada?? why did they blue the flag😭."
Another X user wrote, "On this season of #thebachelor the budget was spent on the rights to when the party is over and not to Canada for the rights to display the Canadian flag."
Another viewer questioned, "Soooo...am I the only one who didn't know that the Canadian flag is so offensive that it has to be blurred on American television?"

Joey Graziadei fails to win 'The Bachelorette' star Charity Lawson's heart
During 'The Bachelorette' season 20, Joey Graziadei was near getting engaged to Charity Lawson but lost her to Dotun Olubeko. Charity was smitten with Dotun and she gave her final rose to him.
Although Joey was left heartbroken, he never lost his hopes especially after he was announced as the next Bachelor. In an interview, Joey reflected on his decision to join the ABC show.
He shared, "So when that question came, it was easy for me to say yes." Joey added, "I know it’s something that I would regret if I said no to it and it’d be amazing to be in a position where I can actually find my person."
Joey further noted that he never expected anything, but he was "ready for it if it came my way."
'The Bachelor' Season 28 airs episodes every Monday at 8 pm ET on ABC, and is available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
