Bachelor in Paradise 2025 is not staying on the beach. On August 25, 2025, an exclusive clip showed couples trekking into the jungle, setting up “glamp” sites, and facing a therapist-led challenge. As teased, “Bachelor in Paradise” reveals new twists and challenges that push relationships past their comfort zone.

Host Jesse Palmer ushers the group off the sand and into survival mode. Meanwhile, Wells Adams reminds viewers that money, trust, and tough decisions can shake even “locked-in” couples. As the rose ceremony approaches, fractures start to show and tempers flare.

Release date & how to watch ‘Bachelor in Paradise’

New episodes air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu and Disney+. If you need a quick primer on where to watch, cast highlights, and whether the finale is near, see this viewing guide from the Palm Beach Post. Although the sources we reviewed didn’t confirm the exact finale date, the guide addresses timing and streaming options.

Cast & setting: who’s steering the chaos

  • Host: Jesse Palmer moves the action from beach cabanas to “glamp” sites deep in the jungle.
  • Bartender: Wells Adams weighs in on how money and stress test the couples’ foundations.
  • Couples Spotlight: Jonathon Johnson and Lea Cayanan Lean into the Competition Mindset as challenges escalate.

The vibe shifts from cabanas to campfires, which raises the stakes and, naturally, the drama.

New twists and challenges (yes, it gets wilder)

First, the group must build out their “glamp” setups amid creepy-crawlies and limited comforts. Then, a therapist observes dynamics during a relationship intervention. Finally, a “red-flags” test threatens to turn small doubts into big problems. ABC7’s clip outlines this progression and sets an urgent tone for the rose ceremony.

For added context, PennLive teased the “most shocking twist yet,” sending contestants into the jungle. That tease aligns with the episode logline, which promises cracks to appear as egos bruise and alliances wobble.

What’s next for ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ 2025?

Expect ripple effects from the jungle night to hit the beach. Because interventions force difficult conversations, couples will either stay together or split. Moreover, the red-flags exercise could shift power ahead of the next rose ceremony.

Bottom line: Bachelor in Paradise 2025 is actively raising the bar on format experiments. Consequently, “Bachelor in Paradise reveals new twists and challenges” is not just a tagline—it’s the playbook for the rest of the season.

Why it matters

These changes keep the franchise fresh while testing compatibility beyond sunset dates. Therefore, viewers get clearer answers about which couples can survive the real world, not just Paradise’s bubble.
