Two seasons ago when I decided to join Bachelor Nation, I was instantly hooked. The tears, the drama, and the romance all make for great entertainment. It wasn’t until this summer that I started watching “Bachelor: Paradise," when I realized the show could get even more jaw-dropping. Below are seven reasons as to why you should take your love of "The Bachelor" and move it to paradise.
The cast is familiar.
- We know who we love, and more importantly, we know who we hate. Each season, we see our favorites get their hearts broken, and are crushed because we will never see them on television again. Thankfully, our spirits are brightened when we see them appear back on the island.
Tears, tears and more tears.
- My personal favorite this season, Ashley I., certainly loves herself a good cry. Whether it’s because of something trivial such as her makeup smudging or she's getting emotional about another girl going after her guy, her face is constantly flooded with tears.
Each person already knows who he or she wants.
- After watching everyone else’s seasons, each cast member already has someone in mind that he or she will be pining for. Cue the drama when there’s one person who’s a hot commodity and the rest will fight until the death to get what they want.
The location.
- A tropical setting means sun, guys with their shirts off, and lots of fruity drinks to go around. All of these elements combined create the perfect backdrop to find love and cause some entertaining troubles along the way.
Relationships can change on a weekly basis.
- Unlike “The Bachelor," viewers get to follow several relationships at once. The real entertainment comes when people change their minds or suddenly are interested in more than one person.
Both boys and girls give out the roses.
- This means that no one is ever safe. The contestant may think that he or she is getting a rose from someone, and then that person pulls a total 180 and gives it to someone that no one was expecting at all.
Chris Harrison is involved.
- Yes, he is also on “The Bachelor," but he is an even bigger part of “Bachelor: Paradise”. From recapping the previous week and handing out infamous date cards, Chris Harrison is the poster boy for Bachelor Nation and no show would be complete without him. If only he could be one of the contestants.
After watching each cast members’ respective seasons, it’s hard to not want to see where they're at and watch them attempt to find love again. You know which former contestants you’re rooting for and who you can’t wait to see go home again. If you have yet to see "Bachelor: Paradise" or any "Bachelor" show for that matter, I highly recommend.
