Spoiler alert! This story discusses the Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 finale that aired September 2. You’ll be able to stream it with a Hulu subscription for those who’re not caught up.
The primary revamped season of Bachelor in Paradise has come to finish, wrapping its run on the 2025 TV calendar with two {couples} successful a money prize and one getting engaged. It was fairly the bewildering journey to get there, although, and even after witnessing the conclusion of Jesse Palmer’s “love or cash” ultimatum, I’m nonetheless confused by the main points of the upcoming reunion particular.
Two {Couples} Take Residence Money Prizes After Selecting Love
There was so much that confused me concerning the new format of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, largely the components centered across the introduction of a money prize. After the primary half of Season 10 featured loads of ingesting and partying — notably for the Goldens — Jesse Palmer flipped the change by telling the forged members that they had the prospect to stroll away with as much as $500,000.
That was the top of the messy however entertaining-as-hell antics, because the {couples} have been solidified and put by way of some truthfully fairly anticlimactic relationship exams. Love nonetheless prevailed for 2 {couples} — Andrew Spencer and Alexe Godin and Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards — who walked away with over $100,000 every. Spencer even acquired down on one knee and proposed to Jess!
Wait, However Didn’t They Have To Select Between Love And Money?
Sure, this ultimatum didn’t maintain loads of water for me within the BIP Season 10 finale. The {couples} have been separated, with Jesse Palmer telling them individually that they may take $250,000 and depart alone or forgo the cash to reunite with their love. All 4 contestants selected love, however might they not have taken the cash after which reconnected later?
I suppose it didn’t matter in the long run, as a result of regardless of giving up their money prize, Jesse Palmer offered them with three envelopes, every containing a verify for a unique quantity. Andrew and Alexe pulled $125,000, whereas Spencer and Jess acquired $190,000. So that they have been rewarded for his or her alternative with … much less cash?
I’m undecided if I’d have most popular them to get greater than they’d initially turned down or simply not obtain the money in the long run in any respect, however the best way it performed out felt off to me. Nonetheless, that wasn’t the one mind-boggling facet of the finale for me.
Bachelor In Paradise Is Having A Reunion, However The Particulars Are Wild
Often when Bachelor in Paradise ends, we get some textual content on the display updating us about the place the {couples} stand now, and that’s it — on to the subsequent Bachelor Nation present. This time, nonetheless, we’re getting a reunion — “Bachelor in Paradise Unplugged,” hosted by Wells Adams. It received’t, nonetheless, air on ABC. In keeping with BachelorNation.com:
‘Bachelor in Paradise Unplugged’ airs Wednesday, September 3, at 11 p.m. PT/2 a.m. ET completely on the Bachelor Joyful Hour podcast. Half two drops Friday, September 5, with each episodes obtainable to stream on the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel Saturday, September 6.
So we’ll solely get the audio when the episodes are initially launched however then can watch them each beginning Saturday? Why not simply wait till the video is able to launch all the things? I can’t think about lots of people are going to hearken to the podcasts after they drop after which return simply to observe the “Unplugged” particular.
It looks like a weird option to me, but it surely’s becoming for a season that’s made me really feel like I’m shedding my thoughts as a rule. I’m undecided I’ve identified up from down for the reason that whole forged invoked their “douchebag code” to defend Jeremy Simon after he went behind Bailey Brown’s again.
I suppose both method, congratulations are to ensure that Andrew and Alexe, in addition to Bachelor Nation’s latest engaged couple Jess and Spencer. I’m to see what does come out of the reunion after that baffling season.
