# Bachelor in Paradise (American TV series) season 8

The eighth season of Bachelor in Paradise premiered on September 27, 2022. In May 2022, Jesse Palmer was announced as the host.

## Production

As with the previous season, filming took place in the town of Sayulita, located in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico. This marked the first season not to premiere in the usual summer schedule.
After the second rose ceremony, a twist similar to Casa Amor from Love Island was introduced. The men and women were separated by gender and each introduced to a new group of the opposite sex - after several days, they had to decide whether to bring a new person back to Paradise, or return alone in the hopes of reconnecting with their original partner.

### Casting

On May 17, 2022, Jesse Palmer became the new host of the series, replacing long-time host Chris Harrison; and Wells Adams was confirmed to be returning as the bartender for the fifth season in a row.
On August 26, 2022, the first 19 contestants were revealed.
On August 29, 2022, Victoria Fuller was announced as a contestant during the Bachelorette season 19 Men Tell All special, although she did not arrive on the first day.
On September 6, 2022, Johnny DePhillipo was announced as a contestant after his elimination on The Bachelorette.
This season featured two contestants from the Australian Bachelor franchise - Florence Moerenhout from The Bachelor Australia 5 and Bachelor in Paradise Australia, and Adam Todd from The Bachelorette Australia 6. This was the first time that international contestants have appeared in the American franchise since season 5.
