Set your DVRs, because you know you’ll be watching The Bachelor in Paradise on lazy June days. Just announced from ABC, the Bachelor‘s newest spinoff will feature fan favorites and notorious villains, similar to the format of Bachelor Pad, but will see contestants seeking their soul mate in an isolated tropical paradise. The passion, the drama, the scornfully thrown margaritas and endless opportunities for “lei’d” puns!!
The official synopsis for The Bachelor in Paradise reads, “The romantic dating series will feature new twists, shocking surprises, unexpected guests and some of the most unlikely relationships in Bachelor history, plus all the usual romance, drama and tears we’ve come to expect from the Bachelor franchise. It all comes together in the romantic television event of the summer.”
Here’s what we know so far: The show will span six episodes — at first a thought that’s it?, but then realized I don’t need to be watching more than half a dozen hours of fake boobs and drunk cry faces. Chris Harrison will be hosting, obvs. The premiere will happen after The Bachelorette has wrapped up. There will be a weekly rose ceremony, but it’s uncertain whether individuals who don’t receive roses will be heading home or if there will be other consequences (no tanning booth for a week, revoked hot tub privileges, camera only shows your “bad angle”).
Do I even need to ask if you’ll be tuning in? The hope of seeing Chris Harrison in Bermuda shorts is reason enough to live until the show airs.
