Bachelor in Paradise is a spinoff of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and features former contestants from both shows (they’re oftentimes fan favorites) on a beach for around three weeks. The reality television dating show starts with an uneven number of women and men, and each week, they have a rose ceremony where one of the groups hands out roses to the contestants they would like to continue to pursue. The contestants who don’t get a rose must pack up their bags and head home.

The roles are reversed the following week, and the group that didn’t give out roses the previous week now has the job of deciding who receives roses and who goes home. The part that of the show that spices things up is that new contestants join throughout the week. This creates an uneven number between the women and men and forces the existing contestants to choose whether they want to stay with their current partners or couple up with new members. Viewers can also expect date cards at any given moment, which allow contestants to ask someone they’re interested in to spend some alone time together. This feature has the potential to ruffle some feathers, especially when several new contestants make their debut with a date card in hand.

At the end of the season, couples get a chance to have an overnight date with no cameras or microphones (much like Fantasy Suites on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette). Following the overnight dates is the finale, where contestants either choose to break up or get engaged. Like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise also has an “After the Final Rose” special, where contestants reunite to hash out drama and update viewers on their relationships.

Bachelor in Paradise season 9 premiered on September 28, 2023 with Jesse Palmer as the host and Wells Adams as the bartender. Plus, former Bachelorettes Hannah Brown, Katie Thurston, and Charity Lawson make guest appearances.

Who is the Bachelor in Paradise 2023 host?

Who is the Bachelor in Paradise 2023 host? The Bachelor in Paradise season 9 host is Jesse Palmer, who was the season 5 Bachelor in 2004 and was the youngest Bachelor in Bachelor Nation history at 24 years old. Jesse hosted his first Bachelor franchise show in 2022 with The Bachelor season 26 (Clayton Echard).

During The Bachelor season 5 finale, Jesse gave his Final Rose to Jessica Bowlin, but didn’t propose to her. Jesse and Jessica continued to date, but ended their relationship a few weeks after the finale of their Bachelor season aired. In June 2020, Jesse and his girlfriend, Emely Fardo, married in an intimate wedding in New York City. Jesse told Us Weekly in November 2021 that he and Emely planned to marry in Provence, France, before the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled their wedding date. “We had originally planned a wedding in Provence, France, for summer 2020, which was postponed until summer of 2021 due to the pandemic, but we didn’t want to wait any longer,” he said at the time. “So, we had a small, private and intimate ceremony with close friends who lived in New York City.”
