I decided that it was well overdue for a Renew/Cancel unscripted post. 
This week I decided to upgrade Bachelor in Paradise to “certain to be renewed” after its steady ratings, especially for its recent Monday ratings. Best be assured that it will be renewed for next summer. 

America’s Next Top Model, is not doing too badly by CW reality standards. But, rumor has it that Tyra Banks announced a few weeks ago that Cycle 22 might be its last. Hence the “likely canceled” prediction remains, since it depends on whether or not the fans want to continue with watching the show, even though there has been a decline in ratings.
