'Bachelor in Paradise' to Air Live Season Finale This Year!

Bachelor in Paradise will be making history this season… for the first time the show will air a live finale that is not only a reunion special.

Chris Harrison, the longtime Bachelor Nation host, is dishing on what we can expect in the finale.

“It’s going to be a lot of finding out what’s been happening because things have been continuing back in the real world since the show wrapped up in Mexico,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s going to be interesting and I think a lot more fun for all of us. It’s going to have a live studio audience.”

“The live [finale] at the end will be more like After the Final Rose where we’re live, the show is wrapping up, and there will be people involved that were on the show because we have to find out where everybody is. I don’t think you can put those into usual Bachelor boxes because they’re going to be so different,” Chris concluded.

Chris will also be welcoming back Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson to the during the season to talk about what happened at the beginning of filming, but that won’t be filmed with 30 people on set like the Women or Men Tell All specials. “I think people are misunderstanding how that’s going to go. Those are going to be a lot more in-depth and a lot more intimate and a lot more personal and one-on-one than your ‘tell all special,’” he said.
