Plot
editThe show begins with an uneven number of men (bachelors) and women (bachelorettes). At every rose ceremony, either the men or the women have the power of handing out roses, with control switching each time. Those left without a rose are immediately sent home. New bachelors or bachelorettes are introduced each week, often arriving with a date card. By the end, there will be few couples remaining and they will need to decide whether to continue their relationship outside of Paradise or go their separate ways.[4]
After Paradise
editA 'behind-the-scenes' show called After Paradise aired during season 1 after the rose ceremony each week on 10Play. It gave viewers an opportunity to have a peek at what happens in paradise that didn't make it to air.[5][6] After Paradise was discontinued in season 2 and was replaced by a weekly Insider Guide hosted by Osher Günsberg.
