Bachelor in Paradise is set to undergo significant changes in its upcoming season, bringing with it a new vibe and exciting twists for fans of the show. With the move to a picturesque location in Costa Rica, the show will not only feature a new setting but also a fresh approach led by new showrunner Scott Teti, who previously worked on Claim to Fame. Teti expressed enthusiasm about revitalizing the long-standing franchise, envisioning a visually and creatively enhanced format.
The revamped season promises to elevate the viewing experience with luxurious accommodations, including air-conditioned hotel rooms and an upscale atmosphere at the Azuara Beach Resort. Contestants will enjoy private beach access and the opportunity to swim directly from their rooms into inviting pools—far from the open-air cabanas they previously occupied in Mexico.
One of the exciting new elements includes the introduction of “Golden” contestants, which raises questions about potential romance with younger participants. Teti hinted that while the format encourages age-appropriate matches, the unpredictable nature of love in Paradise means anything could happen.
Hannah Brown, a former Bachelorette, will step into a hospitality role, providing support and advice to the contestants, enhancing the show’s friendly atmosphere before rose ceremonies. Additionally, Teti revealed new “relationship tests” aimed at aiding contestants in discovering more about themselves and their compatibility with others, taking some inspiration from the beloved Bachelor Pad.
In a bid to both romanticize and challenge relationships, this season will feature twists that not only entertain but also deepen connections among the participants. Teti’s aim is to create a fresh and engaging viewing experience that melds elements fans love with innovative new challenges and storytelling techniques that maintain excitement throughout every episode.
As the debut date approaches, an elevated style and a promise of surprising developments suggest that Bachelor in Paradise’s tenth season could be one of its best yet, appealing to both loyal fans and newcomers alike. The season premieres on Monday, July 7, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Expect to see not just a refreshing new environment but a dynamic blend of love and entertainment like never before.
