What is “Bachelor in Paradise?”
“Bachelor in Paradise” takes fan favorites and standout contestants from previous seasons of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” and sends them to a romantic resort in Mexico. There, they take another shot at love. At each rose ceremony, each man gives a rose to a woman, or vice versa depending on whose turn it is. If someone doesn’t receive a rose, they’re sent home. Despite the unusual format, long-standing relationships have formed. There are at least five couples still together, with two marriages and at least three engagements.
