20. Chris and Katie’s Reunion Fight
Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton’s relationship on Bachelor in Paradise is quite a roller coaster. They face some issues throughout the season, but still get engaged during the finale and fans are hopeful for their happy ending.
However, at the reunion Katie tells Chris Harrison about issues the couple is having. Harrison also points out that Katie is not wearing her engagement ring, but she says they are still engaged.
Chris Bukowski then joins Katie at the reunion and both partners appear to still be in love and willing to work on their relationship. Katie even puts her engagement ring back on and the two kiss.
Suddenly, cameras follow Katie backstage and outside the studio where she and Chris immediately argue. Chris says he feels blindsided, and Katie is frustrated saying that Chris “knew I was going to tell the truth.”
The immediate change in personality is very shocking to fans and their entire argument is very uncomfortable.
19. Leo vs. Grocery Store Joe
In Bachelor in Paradise season 5, Kendall Long found herself in a love triangle with “Grocery Store” Joe Amabile and Leo Dottavio. When Leo realizes that Kendall is going to pursue Joe, he makes a very rude toast to the group.
To Kendall, he says “It was a shame to find out that you’re kind of full of sh*t” and he wished her “good luck with Grocery Store B**ch.” Joe confronts Loe and tells him to, “say that to my face.”
Leo also throws his drink at Joe and the two are separated by security.
18. Kamil Dumps Annaliese
Kamil Nicalek and Annaliese Puccini left Paradise very much in love. However, during the reunion show Kamil decides to break up with Annaliese. She is understandably frustrated by his choice to break up with her on TV in front of a huge audience and she leaves the stage.
After taking a moment to compose herself, Annaliese then comes back to the stage and stands up for herself. She shares her feelings and explains that Kamil has not been putting effort into their relationship.
Fans are happy to see Annaliese stick up for herself and also return for the following season of Bachelor in Paradise!
17. Jordan and Christian Get Physical

16. Josh Threatens Nick
Josh Murray and Nick Viall’s rivalry began on Andi Dorfman’s season of The Bachelorette. However, it came to a head on Bachelor in Paradise.

John Paul Jones is one of Bachelor Nations most lovable contestants. With his long blond hair, handsome physique and fun-loving personality few fans can resist his charm. So when JPJ decided to confront Derek Peth over his intentions with Tayshia Adams, fans were shocked.
Not only does the outburst appear to be very sudden, but it takes place at Chris and Krystal’s wedding! Shocked guests watched as John Paul Jones accused Derek of leading Tayshia on, and a tearful Tayshia left the scene.
Bachelor Nation fans still love John Paul Jones, but an outburst at a wedding left some fans questioning his judgement.
14. Evan’s Medical Emergencies
Evan Bass is one of Bachelor in Paradise’s lovable goofballs. While some contestants did not take him seriously, he was very serious about pursuing Carly Waddell. However, some fans grew suspicious about his methods because a lot of quality time these two spent together results from Evan having a medical emergency.
At one point, Evan found himself with swollen ankles and he went to the hospital. Thankfully, Carly went with him for support. Another time he appeared to be unresponsive after heavy drinking, but made a miraculous recovery after Carly and production came to his aid.
Thankfully for Evan, his medical emergencies were not in vain as he and Carly were married for three years before splitting.
13. Clare’s Raccoon Therapy
Before starring on her own season of The Bachelorette, Clare Crawley was very familiar with Bachelor Nation.

11. Lace and Grant’s Matching Tattoos
In Bachelor in Paradise season 3, Grant Kemp and Lace Morris got matching couple tattoos. The tattoos said, “Grace” which is a combination of their names together.

Back in 2017, Grant got the tattoo covered up.
10. Dean’s Love Triangle

Blake’s actions at Stagecoach turned out to be a dark storm cloud that followed him throughout Paradise.
8. Marcus and Lacy’s Fake Wedding
During season 1 of Bachelor in Paradise Marcus and Lacy’s relationship grew into true love. So naturally, Marcus proposed during the season 1 finale and Lacy accepted.

7. The Sound Guy’s Great Escape (Almost)
After having no luck finding love with other contestants, Michelle Kujawa began seeing a crew member named Ryan. When production knocked on Michelle’s hotel room door and she behaved suspiciously, they knew something was up.

Jenna and Jordan quickly fell in love and ended the season engaged. However, cheating allegations against Jenna surfaced and the two broke up. Since then, Jenna has cleared her name, started a family, and got engaged to new fiance Karl Hudson.
5. Paradise Shuts Down
On season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise, Corrine Olympios and DeMario Jackson seemingly formed a connection. Unfortunately, their connection alarmed a producer enough to warrant allegations of misconduct. They claimed that Corrine was too intoxicated to consent to her hookup with DeMario.
Filming stopped for an investigation, but eventually resumed after they determined that no misconduct occurred. The season continued without Corrine or DeMario.
4. Demi’s Surprise
Before leaving for Paradise, Demi revealed to her friend Hannah Brown that she’d been seeing a woman named Kristian. After a few days in Paradise, Demi formed a close bond with Derek, but she is still thinking about Kristian.

2. Jorge Says Goodbye
Beloved Bachelor in Paradise bartender Jorge left the show after three seasons. He still makes appearances and gives contestants tours, aka Jorge’s Tourges, but his bright smile is missed.
