However, viewers couldn’t help but feel that the new series was bearing some strikingly similarities to Love Island.
The UK-based show also involves a series of single contestants hoping to find love beneath the sunshine.
Bachelor in Paradise fans suggested that the show’s producers had been inspired by Love Island’s Casa Amor with their recent “twist”.
Posting on Twitter, one person wrote: “I love this twist on @BachParadise. Very ‘Love Island’ of them.”

Another commented: “I still can't believe Bachelor in Paradise outright copied Love Island."
A third shared: “Bachelor in Paradise really trying to pull a Love Island move.”
Although it wasn’t just the new reincarnation of Casa Amor that seemed to have been taken from the British show - but also how the unlucky contestants exited.
A fourth added: “NOT THE LONG LOVE ISLAND WALK OF SHAME WITH THE ROLLER SUITCASE #BachelorInParadise.”

However, many viewers called on Bachelor in Paradise to stop “trying” to be Love Island.
One person asked: “Why is Bachelor in Paradise trying so hard to be Love Island?”
Another suggested: “I don’t know how the producers decided to do a Casa Amor twist and messed it up so bad.”
A third complained: “If they’re gonna stick with this Love Island twist, they need to steal…and show them salacious clips of what their SOs are up to. It can force some rash decisions.”
