The drama continues for the hopeful contestants in the gorgeous town of Sayulita, Mexico, after the dramatic cliffhanger, on the next episode of the highly anticipated “Bachelor in Paradise,” MONDAY, AUGUST 22 (8:00–10:00 p.m. EDT).

In the hours leading up to the third rose ceremony, a frustrated bachelor continues to deal with the emotional breakdown of his crying ex and her inability to move on from him. After he makes it clear that he has moved on with a new girl, the crushed bachelorette clings to the hope that she can stay in Paradise long enough to find someone to help her move past her perfect man!

As Paradise fills up with happy couples, four single ladies look to the remaining Canadian wildcard, eager to secure a rose and the chance to find love in Paradise! The power-hungry “Papa Bear” is wooed with baked cakes and kisses, but not a single girl is confident that she will get his rose. As the rose ceremony commences, two devastated bachelorettes are sent packing, but the journey may not be over for one determined drama queen, as she returns to beg the cast to let her stay.

A new week brings double trouble for the couples, as two lesser-known bachelors turn up back-to-back looking for dates. The men are feeling the pressure, as the two attractive arrivals stir up interest in the ladies of Paradise, with a handsome lamp-bearer turning the head of one half of the strongest couple in Paradise. The tattooed bachelor asks an excited bachelorette to accompany him on his date, while the hot hairstylist takes a chance and asks a coupled-up cutie. Afraid of hurting her current suitor but unsure of the strength of their relationship, the hesitant bachelorette struggles with the decision of whether or not to go on the date. She finally decides to take a chance on her new interest, wounding the sullen bachelor (Jared), who begins to worry that karma is getting back at him for all his failed romances in Paradise past.

The second double date of the season sends the foursome on a party boat adventure. The physical intimacy is strong for one hot and heavy pair while another disappointed bachelor learns that his chosen date has been thinking about her other suitor and can’t wait to get back to him. Meanwhile, an opportunistic bachelorette takes advantage of her romantic rival being away on the date and makes her move to recapture her dream guy’s heart.

Later, a third bachelor arrives and asks a reserved blonde on a romantic date where they ride horses to a picturesque waterfall. Back at the house, one blossoming couple retreat for a private couples’ massage where the nervous bachelor professes his love.

An enviable couple’s bond is tested when the tempted woman gives in to her attraction to one of the newest arrivals and tells him that he is her ideal man. The shocked bachelor is hurt when he learns that his ladylove is interested in getting to know another guy. Will one of Paradise’s strongest couples be able to survive this relationship roadblock? Will the undecided bachelorette give up her instant connection for a chance with the newest arrival?
