What We Think

Bachelor in Paradise is about as non-woke as modern television gets, prioritizing messy romance and personal drama over ideological messaging. Don’t expect cultural subversion, just sun, sand, and shallow dating antics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Bachelor in Paradise sticks to its basic formula: matchmaking and drama among attractive singles. Casting choices seem motivated more by entertainment value and romantic chemistry than by ideology. There’s little evidence that identity politics take precedence over personality or interpersonal conflict. The show is as shallow as expected, but isn’t overtly driven by modern activist themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional dating and gender roles are largely intact, with men and women pursuing each other in expected ways. While the show may play fast and loose with real morality (it is a reality show, after all), it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine cultural, religious, or family values in a woke fashion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The predominant worldview is traditional, romance, jealousy, and competition. There isn’t a sense that the show pushes ideological uniformity or villainizes traditional viewpoints. In fact, the biggest villain is usually someone who breaks the dating rules, not someone with old-fashioned values.
