First premiering in 2014, Bachelor in Paradise features contestants who fell short of making connections in The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

The show's host, Jesse Palmer, will return to mentor these cast members. According to ABC, the synopsis of Bachelor in Paradise reads:
"Breakout fan favorites from The Bachelor franchise are back and ready for a second (or third) chance at finding love. They may have left their respective seasons brokenhearted, but now they have the opportunity to travel to a romantic paradise in hopes of turning a potential summer fling into the real thing."
