ABC released another sneak-peek video for "Bachelor in Paradise" and the show promises lots of kissing, tears and a whole lot of drama. Little by little, Reality Steve has been posting spoilers for the upcoming dating show and in the latest scoop, reveals what goes down on the first two episodes.
In case you missed it, "Bachelor in Paradise" will bring fan-favorite contestants from past "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" shows to Tulum, Mexico to compete for love... again. There will be 25 contestants including Clare Crawley, Chris Bukowski Marquel Martin and Michelle Money to name a few.
According to Reality Steve, all 25 won't be on the show right away; there will be a certain number who begin the series and as people are eliminated, others join in. Staying true to "Bachelor" style, there will be date cards and, of course, rose ceremonies.
So what do we know about the premiere episode? According to Reality Steve, the drama kicks off right away. Clare gets the first date card and picks Robert Graham to go with her. She initially picked Graham Bunn but AshLee Frazier begged Clare to choose a different guy because she wanted to keep Graham to herself.
Lacy Faddoul also gets a date card on this episode and also chooses Robert. Right before the first elimination, "Bachelor in Paradise" gets a little shakeup when Michelle Kujawa announces that she's leaving. Michelle said she wasn't connecting to anyone on the show and wanted out.
Reality Steve is telling a completely different story. Reportedly she was caught sleeping with the sound guy and was told to leave. In a panic, the sound guy reportedly tried to escape the embarrassment by jumping off Michelle's balcony but broke both his legs, RS wrote.
During the rose ceremony Daniella McBride ends up being eliminated after not receiving a rose. In episode two the craziness continues when Ben Scott is the second contestant to leave before a rose ceremony.
According to reports, Ben already had a girlfriend before signing up for the show. A source told Wetpaint, Ben was hesitant to do the show but ultimately decided to give it a shot because he thought it "might be a good opportunity to help him open other doors."
"They go to church together, hang at Ben's bar [Trophy Room]... she even hangs with his son," the told Wetpaint. "They are super happy together, and are definitely not trying to hide anything."
To make things even more interesting, Wetpaint and Reality Steve both claim that producers knew about Ben's girlfriend.
"He wanted to go home pretty much right away, but said they wouldn't let him," the source said to Wetpaint. "He said he liked this girl a lot, and the cast all thought it was a little weird, but he kept sticking around."
Things finally blew up when Marcus Grodd "found" a letter to Scott from his girlfriend. Also in the second episode, Chris Bukwoski and Zack Kalter enter the show. Chris goes on a date with Elise and Zack chooses Clare.
Dylan and Sarah go out cave diving and Marquel chooses Michelle Money for an afternoon of horseback riding. During the rose ceremony, Dylan is sent home even though he was offered a rose by Elise. (Dylan rejected it because he was mad Elise hooked up with Chris).
