The idea of 'Bachelor In Paradise' is pretty simple: cast-offs from previous seasons of 'Bachelor' shows are all flown into a Mexican resort to mingle and, ideally, find love. The first week starts with a bunch of contestants, and either the men or the women are given date cards to hand out to whoever they want to get to know better—who's in control of the date cards switches off each week. 

Just like on 'The Bachelor' or 'The Bachelorette', there are weekly rose ceremonies, but with a twist. Much like with the date cards, the men and women take turns handing out roses to each other each week. It's much more of a mutual decision than the traditional show, but one thing stays the same—if you don't get one, you get sent home.
