Bachelor in Paradise

The show hasn't even aired yet and it's already promising to be the most dramatic season ever. To recap: Earlier this summer, production was temporarily shut down after an illicit tryst between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson led to an investigation about whether there was a case of sexual misconduct. Both parties were happy with the results, which found no evidence of foul play, but the incident raised major questions about the way the franchise handles sexual encounters. Tensions are high.
