On the premiere episode of Bachelor in Paradise, our favorite members of Bachelor Nation begin their journey for another chance at finding love at a luxurious Mexico resort.

Things only get worse for Blake and with three women going home at the rose ceremony, there is a last-minute scramble. Plus, a woman with two suitors lets one down easy.

It's the first rose ceremony of the season and the drama is already ratcheted up! Two very different men — Blake and Dylan — have their hearts set on handing their rose to Hannah G., but who will offer it to her and will she accept? The disappointed suitor must in turn decide between two women he has left hanging. The chess game continues when Chris drops a bomb in Paradise, choosing a shocked beauty over the blindsided woman with whom he has been keeping company.

Hannah G. has a stunning revelation to share with one of her suitors, Demi is having difficulty moving forward with Derek, and Caelynn has some moves of her own to make with Cam and a newcomer vying for her attention. But her plans change when another man returns to Paradise with a date card. Meanwhile, another suave newcomer provides a powerful temptation for Nicole. As the ladies get ready to hand out the roses, the most vulnerable men plan to pull out all the stops at the cocktail party.

The explosive start to this week’s adventures in Paradise tests Jordan’s friendship with Clay, as Christian aggressively competes with him for Nicole’s affection. When the sand settles, who will Nicole be with? A high stake rose ceremony looms with the women holding all the power and the roses and the men scrambling to find a way to stay in Paradise.

The drama picks up with Demi explaining to Chris how conflicted she is between staying and exploring a relationship with a man she cares deeply for and leaving for a certain woman she can’t stop thinking about back home.
