Bachelor in Paradise is an American elimination-style reality competition television series, which premiered on August 4, 2014, on ABC. It is a spin-off of the American reality television shows The Bachelor and The Bachelorette . The show features previous contestants who have been featured on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as they travel to a secluded paradise in Mexico where the show will take place. The show was originally hosted by Chris Harrison.
On July 10, 2024, ABC renewed Bachelor in Paradise for a tenth season, to air in summer 2025. [1]
In March 2013, ABC canceled Bachelor Pad after three seasons. [2] Very similar to Bachelor Pad, rejected contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are isolated in a romantic paradise in an exotic tropical destination. [3] The first season was filmed in Tulum, Mexico. Beginning in season 2, the show has been filmed in Sayulita, Mexico, at Playa Escondida.
The show begins with an uneven number of women and men, with there being more women. At the first rose ceremony, the men are given a rose to hand out to a woman they would like to spend more time getting to know in paradise. The women left without roses are immediately sent home. New men are then brought to the beach, so at the next rose ceremony, women can give a rose to a man they would like to spend more time with and the remaining men are sent home. For seven weeks, this set up alternates between new men or new women joining the cast.
During initial filming of season 4, production was halted due to allegations of sexual misconduct between two contestants—DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios. [4] After an internal investigation, it was determined that there was no misconduct and filming resumed shortly after. [5]
Beginning in 2015, ABC began airing Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise , a regular weekly live after show. Chris Harrison and Jenny Mollen co-hosted the show starring a celebrity fan and one of the Bachelor in Paradise cast members. [6] Season 2 saw the introduction of comedian and talk show host Michelle Collins, who co-hosted After Paradise alongside Bachelor season 17 star Sean Lowe. [7]
