More of what fans simply love to hate?

- MELISSA HANK CARDINAL RENEWED

One good reality TV turn deserves another, right? Corinne Olympios, the woman fans love to hate on this season of The Bachelor, says she’ll likely pass up a spot in Bachelor in Paradise for her own TV series.

The 24-year-old Miami business owner was eliminated in the Feb. 27 episode of ABC’s dating extravagan­za, but fans were googly eyed over the prospect of her appearing on Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise this summer. But alas, she seems to be jumping from the franchise like it’s a defective bouncy castle.

“I don’t think so,” Olympios told E! Online of appearing on the Bachelor spinoff. “First of all, I wasn’t even asked yet, so let’s not jump the gun yet, so I don’t know. It’s too early to tell right now.”

She added that “a lot networks” are wooing her for a series centred on her and her family, as well as her nanny Raquel, who slices her cucumbers, makes her bed and makes the best cheese pasta ever.

“I think America is interested in me having a reality TV show with my family; my family is awesome, as you all could tell on my hometown date. America totally wants it, I hear it all the time,” she said.

The Bachelor franchise, employing legions of florists for 21 seasons, airs Mondays on ABC and Omni. The Women Tell All special is set to air after the March 6 episode. CTV’s tense crime drama Cardinal will return for two more seasons, the network announced. Based on Giles Blunt’s award-winning John Cardinal Mysteries novels, it stars Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse as two detectives. Both will return for the upcoming seasons.

The self-contained cycles will each consist of six one-hour episodes, the same format of the recently concluded first season, which focused on the murder of a young girl in Algonquin Bay.

“In simultaneo­usly ordering two additional cycles, we are showcasing our high confidence in the creative team, and look forward to launching the next iteration of this intelligen­t character-driven drama,” said Mike Cosentino, the senior vice-president of CTV.
