After a halt in production, one of the most scandalous shows on TV is returning - here's what 'Bachelor in Paradise' is about

ABC

It's hard to be a bachelorette in paradise.

There are a lot of single "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants who are left looking for love and still want to be on TV.

So ABC decided to take some of those rejected contestants and fly them to a remote tropical resort in Mexico, and let the drama unfold on "Bachelor in Paradise."

Season four of "Bachelor in Paradise" premieres Monday night, despite fears that the show would be cancelled.

Season four's production had been halted temporarily following allegations of "misconduct" on the set involving two controversial contestants, that many speculated could result in the end of this ratings juggernaut.

A producer on the show allegedly filed a "third-party complaint" tied to "misconduct" involving contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. The incident was reportedly related to a drunken hook-up caught on camera.

After an investigation into the incident, ABC said no "misconduct" had occurred on the show and filming resumed. Corinne and DeMario are both expected to attend the "Bachelor in Paradise" reunion.

So what's the recipe for ABC's hit drama? A lot of booze, attractive people, bikinis, crying, and constant plot twists.
