When Is The Next Season Of Bachelor In Paradise

Okay, let's be real. We're all wondering the same thing. When is Bachelor in Paradise back on our screens?

The Eternal Question: Paradise When?

Seriously, it feels like it's been forever. My summer isn't complete without the drama, the tears, and the questionable connections.

I need to see those singles awkwardly coupling up in bathing suits. Is that too much to ask?

Historically, Bachelor in Paradise airs during the summer. Usually around August, give or take a few weeks.

Think of it as a sweet, sweet reward for surviving the summer heat. And all the family vacations.

So, how do we figure out when the next season drops? We stalk. I mean, we carefully observe.

Pay attention to Chris Harrison's Instagram (if he were still hosting, that is!). Or Jesse Palmer's. They usually drop hints.

And of course, keep an eye on ABC's official announcements. They're the ultimate source of truth... usually.

Here's a confession. I don't always need Bachelor in Paradise.

Gasp! I know. Hear me out.

Sometimes the drama feels a little… forced? Like, are these people REALLY that desperate for love? Or just for Instagram followers?

Maybe a little break would do the show good. Let the contestant pool refresh. Let us miss it a little.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Or at least it makes the drama feel a bit more authentic.

Because, let's face it, some contestants seem to show up just to promote their brands.

If I were in charge (which, let's be honest, I should be), I'd shake things up. I'd bring in some unexpected contestants.

Like, maybe a few people from The Golden Bachelor? Okay, maybe not. But you get the idea!

Think about the possibilities! The drama! The ageism debates!

Alright, alright, I know. You're still dying to know when Bachelor in Paradise returns.

Honestly? Your guess is as good as mine.

But based on past seasons, keep your eyes peeled for an announcement in the coming months.

While we wait, we can rewatch old seasons. Judge former contestants.

Or maybe, just maybe, find our own little slice of paradise. Without the cameras and the forced romance.

But let's be honest, probably not. I'll be watching too!

It's a guilty pleasure, what can I say?

So, ABC, please don't keep us waiting too long. We need our dose of sunshine, sand, and manufactured drama.

And please, for the love of all that is holy, find some contestants who are actually there for the right reasons. Or at least good television.

Until then, I'll be here. Refreshing the ABC website. And judging everyone's swimwear choices in my head.
