ABC has been keeping the lid on tight when it comes to the new "Bachelor" franchise spinoff "Bachelor in Paradise," but Wetpaint got the inside scoop from a source connected to the show. According to the site, the show will stick to tradition and have rose ceremonies and eliminations.
"It's just like 'Bachelor Pad,' because there's only so many roses, and people get kicked off if they don't get one," the source sad.
Reality Steve previously reported that as people get eliminated, more contestants are brought in to replace them. According to Wetpaint, during the first week of the show the men will be handing out roses and get the chance to save their girl of their choice from being eliminated.
At the end of the first night, two contestants remain: Season 17 "Bachelor" contestants Sarah Herron and Daniella McBride. Ben Scott gives the final rose to Sarah, sending Daniella home. On the second episode, the ladies will hand out the roses.
The source also told Wetpaint that there will be date cards but it's not exactly clear how that part works. "It sounds like they take turns picking members of the opposite sex for a little fun 1-on-1 time," Wetpaint writes.
Clare Crawley, from Season 18 of the "Bachelor" with Juan Pablo, gets the first date card and manages to stir up a little trouble with the ladies.
"Clare got the date card and really wanted to pick Graham Bunn," the source told Wetpaint. "But when she told the girls that's who she was going to choose, AshLee Frazier started crying and begged her not to."
Clare decided not to pick AshLee's crush and instead went on the first date with Robert Graham. It seems like the two had a fantastic date because Clare and Robert were seen in the promo kissing. Wetpaint also said there's a rumor that one person quits the show but it's not clear who it is.
Reality Steve reported that it was Marcus Grodd from Andi Dorfman's season of "Bachelorette" and he quit because he thinks he's going to be the 2015 "Bachelor."
"Bachelor in Paradise" premieres Monday, Aug. 4 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
