There are a lot of single "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants who are left looking for love and still want to be on TV.
So ABC decided to take some of those rejected contestants and fly them to a remote tropical resort in Mexico and let the drama unfold on "Bachelor in Paradise."
"Bachelor in Paradise" has had three seasons so far. Season four was supposed to come to a TV near you later this summer, but production has been halted following allegations of "misconduct" on the set involving two controversial contestants, and many are speculating this could spell the end for the ratings juggernaut.
A producer on the show allegedly filed a "third-party complaint" tied to "misconduct" involving contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. The incident is reportedly related to a drunken hook-up caught on camera.
So what's the recipe for ABC's hit drama? A lot of booze, attractive people, bikinis, crying, and constant plot twists.
Here's everything you need to know about the scandalous reality show:
Chris Harrison, who hosts "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," is also the host of "Bachelor in Paradise."
At the beginning of the season, a dozen single people arrive at a resort in Mexico. There are twice as many single women as there are men.
Immediately, couples begin to form. The guys mostly get snatched up, but a bunch of the women are left loveless.
