It doesn't sound like Bachelor Pad will be back this summer maybe next summer.

Not to be cynical, but this sounds like Bachelor Pad in a different location. JMHO

by **SLA44** Sat Mar 22, 2014 9:47 pm

I'm sure you are right newto especially given that it is the same producers involved. I really think they lean toward the sleazy type of shows.

Here is another link for another article about "Bachelor In Paradise":

http://guardianlv.com/2014/03/bachelor-in-paradise-a-hot-pad-debuts-this-summer/

I am thinking that Arie is going to be one the contestants on this show and possibly Mike G. (the DA from Florida) from Des' season and maybe Brooks. All three of these guys were at JP's ATFR and none of them were interviewed but they were shown on camera so why were they even there?

According to an article in TV Guide, the Bachelor In Paradise is to premiere on August 4th.

Re: above link. With no challenges and/or eliminations, is this just going to be a hook-up show? And is the same person going to have multiple hook-ups? OMG.....I can hardly wait. Tee hee.

As for Arie, I would question his sanity if he went on this show. At this point, with his broken collarbone, it may be a moot point. Wishing him a speedy recovery, however.

I sure sounds like that is what it is going to be to me. I have no idea if there is going to multiple hook-ups but I sure wouldn't put it past TPTB.

[i][/iI really can't see Arie doing a show like this. He has a career as an announcer for racing and also driving and I doubt he would even think about jeopardizing that. I'm sure TPTB would love to have Arie on because he would draw viewers but I really can't see him wanting to do it.

In a way I'm sorry to see Marquel on this sleeze-fest. I thought he was a really nice person. Oh well....

by **SLA44** Sun Jul 13, 2014 8:43 pm

I never saw what everyone else did with Marquel - he does nothing for me and if he is the next bachelor I will not be watching. He never had a 1-on-1 date with Andi so I have no idea how he would treat a woman. He reminds me very much of someone in my past and all I'll say is that is not a good thing.

ABC REVEALS“BACHELOR IN PARADISE” SHOCKING TWIST

New Series “Bachelor in Paradise” Premieres Monday, August 4 at 8:00 PM ET/PT

Los Angeles, CA – This summer, 25 of “The Bachelor’s” biggest stars and most controversial contestants are back looking for a second chance at love on “Bachelor in Paradise.” They all left “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” with broken hearts, but now they are back to find their soul mates. “Bachelor in Paradise” begins with 14 former cast members, eight women and six men, who travel to beautiful Tulum, Mexico hoping to turn a potential summer fling into the real thing. However, in true “Bachelor” fashion, there is always a surprise.

At the first rose ceremony, the six men are given a rose to hand out to a woman they’d like to spend more time getting to know in paradise. With an uneven number of men and women in the group, the two women left without roses are immediately sent home heartbroken. Just as potential couples start to pair up, everything changes drastically in the next episode when two new men arrive to paradise with love on their mind. For seven weeks, each episode will alternate between two new men or women joining the cast. New relationships may form and current ones may end. Every week, the two people who don’t receive a rose will be forced to leave paradise. It’s a constant love shuffle where surprise arrivals can rekindle old romances, spark new ones or splinter existing love affairs.

At least with a show like this, you get what you sign up for. You expect deception and hijinks. Victims and villains. lol.

Is anyone watching Night Shift? I am loving this show. Can't believe it was already the finale! It couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 epis.

I only watched one season of The Bachelor Pad. It was the one after Ben was the Bachelor. I was just curious as to how some of those girls would be on this show. That is the only reason that I know how it was set up as part competition, part hook-ups. I just didn't want to watch something that would be a total sleaze-fest which is why I bypassed it except for that season. In watching all of these previews of BiP I realize that it is MUCH worse than the other one. It's sole purpose is for them to hook up or they are eliminated. Really? This franchise has certainly hit a new low even for them.

You bring up a very good point rkc! The only reason I'm going to watch it is because Marcus is on there and I really liked him and want to see how things work out for him.

By the number of late arrivals they are showing it looks like not very many if any found 'love' as CH is stating that is the purpose of this show. I could really do without having to see Chris B.'s face on my TV all the time. In fact, not at all would be just fine with me!

Did you see the new extended preview video under Episode 1? It is about 30+ minutes and CH really lays on his BS about the purpose of the Bachelor/Bachelorette and how this is giving these contestants a second chance at finding love.

I'll probably watch.....out of habit, and because it's two hours of escape from real life.

This seems a good place to thank SLA for the new banner. Well done!!

In regard to it being a total sleazefest, Giggle

, it seems to be all the jaw-dropping things they allude to on the Bach, all rolled up into one slimy ball.

As I've said before, at least we get what we expect here. All the crying, deception, fraud, cheating, and "stuff" that the Bach drops on us like it's sensational and something new and shocking.

Thanks for the nice thought newto but I am not the one to be thanked ~ The Thanks belongs to Bach as he is the one that put up the new banner. BACH!!!

In reference to the comments about Arie, I'm thinking that they are saving him for the next Bach.

Thanks Bach!!
