Ahead of Taylor Frankie Paul's now-canceled season, The Bachelorette producers were excited - but also wary - of changing the amount of control they handed over to a lead. Showrunner Scott Teti spoke to Vulture in a profile published on Friday, March 20, which was conducted before season 22 was pulled off air, saying, "We let [Taylor] make her own decisions in a way that affected the format, and sometimes that was a little scary because it was 'You want to do what?'" Teti explained how usually leads have been more hands-off.
