Bachelor in Paradise (American TV series) season 8
Bachelor in Paradise (American TV series) season 8 premiered on September 27, 2022, on ABC. It featured contestants from previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette living together in a secluded paradise in Mexico. Jesse Palmer returned as host, with Wells Adams returning as the bartender.
The season was notable for its mid-season twist, dubbed "Split Week," where the existing couples were separated and new contestants were introduced to both the original men and women's villas. This led to significant relationship shake-ups and drama.
Notable contestants included Michael Allio, Serene Russell, Brandon Jones, Serenity Newell, Aaron Clancy, Genevieve Parisi, Rodney Mathews, Eliza Isichei, and Victoria Fuller.
Several couples formed during the season. Some chose to leave the beach together and continue their relationships, while others became engaged during the finale. Relationships that formed during the season were further explored in follow-up "Where Are They Now?" updates. The season concluded with various couples either engaged, dating, or having parted ways.
