Get ready for the sun, sand, and romance as “Bachelor in Paradise” returns for its highly anticipated 9th season. This beloved spin-off of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” is all set to whisk you away to a beachfront villa in Mexico, where fan-favorite contestants get a second chance at finding love on national television.
A Level-Playing Field for Love
Unlike its parent shows, where contestants vie for the affection of a single person, “Bachelor in Paradise” offers a more democratic approach to love. Here, all contestants have a fair shot at forming connections and leaving the show with not just a relationship but, in some cases, an engagement. It’s a refreshing twist on the traditional dating show formula that keeps fans eagerly tuning in.

The Enchanting Mexican Setting
Much like the previous two seasons, Season 9 unfolds at the enchanting Playa Escondida resort in the Mexican town of Sayulita. The picturesque backdrop adds to the allure of the show, creating the perfect environment for sparks to fly and love to blossom.
Meet the Hosts
Jesse Palmer, the charismatic Canadian-born TV personality and former football commentator, takes the helm as the show’s host once again.
