These Shocking ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Moments Will Get You so Pumped for the Season 6 Premiere

Marcus and Lacy’s Fake Wedding

In 2015, fans watched Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul‘s wedding ceremony play out on the same beach where they met during season 1. Despite the white dress and exchange of “I do,” Marcus revealed that they were never legally married.

“It feels like she’s a runaway bride,” he exclusively told Life and Style in 2016. “We had this fantastic relationship, and then it totally vanished. It was like she ran away.” He added, “When we came back, we were supposed to start the paperwork. But she stalled … I feel duped.”

Chris Harrison Has Receipts

This was truly wild. Sam Steffen crashed the beach during season 2 and ripped apart Joe Bailey‘s relationship with Juelia Kinney. The two had had been texting before the show and it was revealed that Joe was just using Juelia until Sam showed up. In a turn of events, Sam was actually hanging around with Joe in hopes of meeting Nick Peterson, who did eventually arrive. Sam immediately dropped Joe to get with the stud. Are you keeping up?

While on-screen, Sam denied texting with Joe before meeting on the show. Luckily, Chris Harrison walked into the After Paradise special with a leather-bound book filled with 400 text messages between the two. Beware of receipts!

Carly Misses Her Brother’s Wedding

Carly Waddell opted to spend an overnight date with Kirk De Windt during season 2 instead of going to her own brother’s wedding. Although she said he was cool with it, fans still questioned her decision.

JJ Goes From Zero to Hero

JJ Lane exited the show after giving an epic speech about how he broke up with someone to join the cast. The contestant admitted that he made a mistake and left to go rekindle things with his ex. He came on the show as a ~villain,~ but left with respect.

Josh Calls Andi’s Book ‘Fictional’

Although Josh Murray later admitted that he never read his ex-fiancée Andi Dorfman‘s book, he told Amanda Stanton and the other Paradise contestants during season 3 that “it’s a fictional story.” Josh and Amanda got engaged during the finale but quickly split. Since then, the blonde beauty called their relationship a “huge mistake.” Ouch.

Ashley Says Caila Is a ‘Backstabbing Whore’

Ashley Iaconetti‘s choice of words to describe Caila Quinn after her relationship heated up with Jared Haibon during season 3 was very unfortunate and not cool at all. She was upset because, before appearing on the show, Caila told Ashley that she wasn’t planning on going after Jared and that he “wasn’t her type.” Things became so tense on the beach that Caila and Jared ended up quitting the show together during week 5 and pursued a romance off-screen. Shortly after, they went their separate ways with Caila blaming Jared’s close friendship with Ashley as the cause during After Paradise.

Dean’s Awkward Love Triangle

Fans rallied for Dean Unglert and Kristina Schulman to get together during their time on season 4. Although Dean wasn’t ready to fully ready to commit to the Russian beauty, he kept her around while he charmed Danielle Lombard. The problem with Paradise? Everyone hangs out within three feet of each other so Dean playing both women was quickly revealed. It was rough to watch and showed the contestant in a very bad light. He decided to try his luck again and will appear on season 6.

Amanda and Robby Take Their Drama Off-Screen

Amanda and Robby Hayes‘ whirlwind romance crashed and burned like no other. The gorgeous contestant posted a photo on Twitter of him supposedly making out with another girl with the caption, “Look what you made me do.” It was super juicy and shocking to watch unfold.

“He never really treated me like his girlfriend, you know? He was still going out with his friends all the time, kind of going MIA for a few days,” Amanda told E! about their romance. “It was just a confusing situation. I don’t think that he did anything wrong, I just think that he’s not ready for a relationship.”

Derek Says ‘F—k You’ to Taylor

We all clutched our pearls when the sturdiest couple during season 4 of Paradise got into an enormous fight that ended with Derek Peth hurling an F-bomb in Taylor Nolan‘s direction. This upset the brunette beauty who had previously divulged that she was in verbally abusive relationships. They made up and left the show happily engaged … until their split less than a year later.

Ashley Gets Engaged … in Front of Her Ex

Fans were happy when Ashley finally got her guy. It was adorable to see them get engaged after all the drama they endured. The only person who didn’t seem to like it that much was Ashley’s ex from Bachelor Winter Games, Kevin Wendt.

“When Ashley and I left Winter Games, I knew I wanted to marry her one day. And then all of the sudden, Jared flips the switch, and now he wants to be with her,” Kevin later said. “I did try to make it work, but if you kiss another guy while you’re dating someone else, it’s cheating in my book.” While he had some residual saltiness, the firefighter is still with Astrid Loch, whom he met during season 5.

The Scandal That Shook ‘Paradise’

Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson‘s scandal shook the entire franchise. Production was completely shut down after an alleged misconduct took place between the two contestants, and questions floated around about Corinne’s ability to consent. There was a lot of disagreement about what happened, so the contestants were sent home so Warner Bros. could investigate. No misconduct was found and the show resumed filming, which resulted in a very strange and condensed season. As for Corinne and DeMario, they still remain friends.
