Looking for a second chance at love on the season premiere of the highly anticipated “Bachelor in Paradise,” the cast arrive to their own private paradise in the gorgeous town of Sayulita, located in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico. With a mix of former contestants and a few returning Paradise favorites, no one is more highly anticipated than villainous Chad, who is hot off the heels of his dramatic exit from JoJo’s season. Though it’s clear that this romantic seaside retreat will be the perfect place to find love, things take an unexpected turn when an unhinged hunk offends everyone in Paradise during an erratic evening, which leads to someone leaving much earlier than expected.

Things start off with a bang when one cast member insults Chris Harrison and his cast mates during his early exit! Meanwhile, back at the house, an excited bachelorette arrives in paradise with a date card and makes another bachelorette jealous with her choice. Later, things get complicated when the bachelor vet takes the bachelorette out for a night in Mexico, leaving his previous date upset! As connections get more complex, none of the girls feel their rose is guaranteed and at the first rose ceremony, two disappointed women are sent home. The morning after the ceremony, a notorious bachelor arrives, much to the annoyance of his longtime nemesis. Will history repeat itself, or will the bachelor vet fight for love?

In the hours leading up to the third rose ceremony, a frustrated bachelor continues to deal with his crying ex who must accept that he's moved on with a new girl. As the rose ceremony commences, two devastated bachelorettes are sent packing. Later, two arrivals stir up interest in the ladies of Paradise, which impacts an existing couple and leads to the second double date of the season. Meanwhile, an opportunistic bachelorette makes her move to recapture her dream guy's heart, and a tempted woman puts her relationship to the test when she declares her attraction for another man. Will one of Paradise's strongest couples be able to survive this relationship roadblock?

When an infamous drama queen arrives in Paradise, she’s shocked to discover that her ex has met someone else, and she asks another bachelor to join her on a date. Back at the house, Paradise’s most unorthodox couple have an equally unorthodox date and their feelings deepen. Meanwhile, a show-stopping bachelorette arrives in Paradise, and a long-time fan-favorite is instantly smitten. Heading into the rose ceremony, one bachelor finds himself at the center of drama with his ex, and he threatens to leave Paradise.

Day three in Paradise starts with a hopeful bachelor making a desperate plea for a taken woman. With the girls holding the power, the unattached bachelors are at risk of being sent home. Heading into the second rose ceremony, a Paradise vet remains caught in a love triangle, and another undecided bachelorette is questioning whether to save a friend who deserves a chance at love. Plus, a newly single bachelorette contemplates her options. As the rose ceremony comes to a close, two smitten bachelors are shocked to be sent home. When an unexpected bachelorette arrives in Paradise, she asks out a popular bachelor, leaving another woman upset. And in a Paradise first, a double-date card arrives.
