What is 'Bachelor In Paradise' about?
'Bachelor In Paradise' is a spin-off of the renowned 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette' franchise. Contestants not chosen from these two shows are invited to a scenic Mexican coastal resort for a few weeks.
During the first week, the women in the resort shall outnumber the men. With each successive week, a rose ceremony would be held among the participants.
The ceremony closely mirrors the format used on 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette.'
