I’m not afraid to admit that I love Bachelor in Paradise. My heart was all kinds of broken when I heard they were cancelling Bachelor Pad, which I was obvs a huge fan of, but Bachelor in Paradise has helped me lick those wounds and move on. It’s such a great show! Every single second is entertaining and heartfelt. And I know people say that reality TV is fake, but if you watch 10 minutes of Bachelor in Paradise, you’ll see that these people are real and are having very real emotions. At least, this all goes for season one of the show. I’m already sucked into season two, so I’m assuming it’ll be as good as last year. Here’s why I think everyone looking for love needs to be watching.
Putting yourself out there
Bachelor in Paradise is basically the ultimate example of putting yourself out there for love. Each of the people on this show was a previous contestant on either The Bachelor or The Bachelorette and lost. Most of them had really unflattering experiences pursuing love that were highlighted for America’s entertainment on television. But, guess what? They’re right back at it, hunting for love! And they’re back at it in a totally vulnerable way, on television again. You need to have that kind of attitude to find love. Think about what you have to lose versus what you have to gain when it comes to romance. You might get your feelings hurt if you put yourself out there, but you could gain a lifelong partner! So go ahead and take the risk!
Getting over it
What I find so inspiring about many of the contestant on Bachelor in Paradise is that they are fresh out of a relationship they thought was going to lead to an engagement. For example, Jared was in the top four of Kaitlyn’s season and was just weeks away from proposing to her. But, in the very first episode of Bachelor in Paradise, which was filmed only weeks after his breakup, it’s clear that he has started to develop feelings for at least one woman. If you’re having trouble getting over an ex, just watch this show. It’s proof positive that you can get over someone and move on to all the amazing people who are waiting for you!
Strategy
Getting the right person to fall for you isn’t something you can just waltz into. If it were that easy, I’d be out of the job. You need to think about what you want and what you need and be sure that you’re doing the right things to attract the right person. It’s called strategizing and it’s exactly what the contestants on this show do. Sure, it’s more heightened with them because they’re actually playing a game and not just looking for love, but it’s in the same ballpark as what us normal-non-Bachelor-contestants needs to do on a normal basis.
So, I hope you all enjoy the show as much as I do! Tweet me with all of your thoughts! I can’t get enough of talking about this show!
