usmagazine.com:

Over before it began. JoJo Fletcher and husband Jordan Rodgers‘ upcoming dating show, The Big D, has been pulled by TBS ahead of its summer premiere.The 10-episode series, which was set to give divorcees a second chance at finding love, will no longer air as the network heads in a different direction. “We’re assessing our schedule to ensure we have the right content mix to support our network strategies,” a TBS spokesperson noted in a statement to Us Weekly on Friday, June 17. “We are grateful to JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, and the executive producers of ‘Big D’ for their partnership through the process.”Initially scheduled to premiere on July 7, The Big D followed 10 divorced couples as they “move into a tropical villa in Costa Rica to re-learn how to date and search for love amongst a group of other single divorcees – including their ex.” Contestants were given a series of “revealing relationship EX-ercises designed to help the singles form connections, make peace with their former partners, and finally get over the issues holding them back from dating,” per the synopsis.After completing the challenges, one participant was eliminated if they proved not to be relationship ready. “Jealous exes may try to send their rival home or perhaps even defend their exes’ honor – the possibilities are endless,” the log line read.Despite the series’ early end, both Fletcher, 31, and Rodgers, 33, still list cohosting The Big D among their many accomplishments in their respective Instagram bios.The couple, who tied the knot in May after postponing several times, met on season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016.

Rodgers proposed to the Texas native during the finale episode, getting down on one knee for a second time three years later.“O
