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?

It’s “game on!” when Ashley I. and Jared pay a special visit to Tayshia, running and judging a competition to test the strength and maturity of eight of her suitors. Who will win the coveted title, and who will struggle to the finish line? Dramatic faceoffs between the men prove a distraction, but the Bachelorette manages to squeeze in some romance. Refusing to give up, two hotheaded rivals try to pull Tayshia into the fray right before the rose ceremony. A group of the guys will be coached by former four-time Women’s Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Amy Dumas and current undefeated UFC fighter Tatiana Suarez through wrestling drills to prepare for a big match in front of the men not on the date. Fan-favorite Wells Adams calls the wild action with Chris Harrison. Who will fight for Tayshia’s heart and emerge victoriously? Finally, one smooth move will cement a bachelor’s status as public enemy number one with the other jealous men.

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. Meanwhile, things take a shocking turn when an overly excited bachelor goes to extreme measures to win back his former fling.
