"$500K – Or Is It Love?": Bachelor In Paradise Game Show Twist Could Derail Season 10

   

Throughout Bachelor In Paradise season 10's premiere, the changes were clear for long-time viewers of the show. With a whole new look and feel, many were confused at the changes that host Jesse Palmer announced. At the end of the episode, Jesse shared that at the end of the season, a cash prize would be added to the show's format, pushing contestants to choose love or money.

Jesse Palmer told viewers to keep tuning to find out more about the new Bachelor In Paradise cash prize.

"You have to make your most important decision: half a million dollars, or is it love," Jesse teased during the episode, and though he told Us Weekly that the money shown was something viewers would have to "watch to find out" more about, it's likely the show will feature a Love Island style endgame. Winning couples will have to choose each other or $500,000.

What Game Show Format Means For Bachelor In Paradise

Things Are Changing In Paradise

Now Bachelor In Paradise seems to be taking cues from other reality TV dating shows and bringing a competitive edge to its summertime series. While Paradise used to be a carefree, self-deprecating series that knew how to poke fun at itself, the show was primarily focused on the contestants finding love with one another. Now it seems things are shifting toward the competitive.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

 

Other shows, like Love Island USA, incorporate competition to encourage drama and, in the end, force the contestants to decide if their relationships are genuine. Bachelor In Paradise shifting its paradigm to be consistent with other shows isn't what viewers were looking for, however. Paradise will likely find some viewers choosing not to keep up this season, as the changes are too much.

Our Take On Bachelor In Paradise’s $500,000 Prize

It's Not Part Of The Typical Paradise Journey

While Paradise viewers expected a change, shifting the format so significantly wasn't something they were anticipating as they went into the new season. Attaching a financial prize, even only a potential one, to a show about building a love connection isn't something viewers wanted to see. Bachelor In Paradise season 10 may have complicated its relationship with viewers.
