List of episodes

The eighth season of Bachelor in Paradise premiered on September 27, 2022.[1][2] In May 2022, Jesse Palmer was announced as the host.[3]

Production

As with the previous season, filming took place in the town of Sayulita, located in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico. This marked the first season not to premiere in the usual summer schedule.

After the second rose ceremony, a twist similar to Casa Amor from Love Island was introduced. The men and women were separated by gender and each introduced to a new group of the opposite sex - after several days, they had to decide whether to bring a new person back to Paradise, or return alone in the hopes of reconnecting with their original partner.

Casting

On May 17, 2022, Jesse Palmer became the new host of the series, replacing long-time host Chris Harrison; and Wells Adams was confirmed to be returning as the bartender for the fifth season in a row.[3]

On August 26, 2022, the first 19 contestants were revealed.[4]

On August 29, 2022, Victoria Fuller was announced as a contestant during the Bachelorette season 19 Men Tell All special, although she did not arrive on the first day.[5]

On September 6, 2022, Johnny DePhillipo was announced as a contestant after his elimination on The Bachelorette.[6]

This season featured two contestants from the Australian Bachelor franchise - Florence Moerenhout from The Bachelor Australia 5 and Bachelor in Paradise Australia, and Adam Todd from The Bachelorette Australia 6. This was the first time that international contestants have appeared in the American franchise since season 5.
