After taking a hiatus in 2024, Bachelor in Paradise is back with some big changes. Not only is there a new showrunner, but the series is being filmed in a new location, and the filming style is quite different from what we’ve seen in the past.

Following the July 7 premiere, there have been mixed reactions to the new format online. One person who isn’t feeling the changes is Tanner Tolbert, who met his now-wife, Jade Roper, on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2.
