“The Bachelor” fans were furious after discovering the dating show was pushed back an hour for Oprah Winfrey’s “Informercial for Ozempic” Monday night.
It appeared fans didn’t get the memo that the reality show would be airing its highly-anticipated episode of “The Women Tell All” at 9 p.m. EST — instead of the regularly scheduled time of 8 p.m. EST — as several fans rushed to Twitter in fury.
“I was excited to turn on the bachelor but instead Oprah is on my TV giving an infomercial for Ozempic … who asked for this !?!?” one fan wrote.

Monday’s “Women Tell All” episode showed Bachelor star Joey Graziadei sitting down with all the women he rejected this season.
The episode — which generally stirs up unresolved drama between women on the show — comes a week before fans find out who Graziadei will propose to.
Meanwhile, Winfrey took over the show’s regularly scheduled time slot to host her ABC special, “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution.”

The special walked through her discussion with a woman who used an undisclosed weight loss medication to lose 85 pounds, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Talking about the woman’s weight loss, the talk show host said, “There is now a sense of hope, and you no longer blame yourself. When I tell you how many times I have blamed myself because you think, ‘I’m smart enough to figure this out,’ and then to hear all along it’s you fighting your brain.”
Also featured on the special were experts discussing pharmaceutical weight loss drugs, such as the celebrity favorite Type II diabetes medication Ozempic.

Winfrey aired the special to reach the “more than 100 million people” residing in the United States and the billions around the world struggling with obesity.
“I come to this conversation in the hope that we can start releasing the stigma and the shame and the judgment,” she said.
“To stop shaming other people for being overweight or how they choose to lose or not lose weight and, more importantly, to stop shaming ourselves.”

The “Oprah Winfrey Show” alum also gave viewers some insight into her own journey, claiming “for more than 25 years” she was shamed by tabloids for her weight.
In December, the media mogul admitted to using an unnamed weight-loss drug to “manage her weight.”
“The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for,” she told People.
