SEASON FINALE

FINAL DATES AND PROPOSALS ON ABC'S 'BACHELOR IN PARADISE'

"Episode 306A" - In the gorgeous resort town of Sayulita, Mexico, the drama continues for the hopeful contestants in the two-night season finale of the highly anticipated "Bachelor in Paradise," MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT).

A new arrival renowned for her poultry enthusiasm lands in Paradise and is quickly disappointed to learn that all the men are already paired up, leaving her no one to take on a date. One opportunistic bachelor capitalizes on a new arrival's lack of options and negotiates the date card for him and his love interest. Will he be able to let his walls down on the date and open his heart to the Floridian beauty? When a cold conversation with a disinterested bachelor leaves a fickle woman heartbroken, she decides to exit Paradise in hopes of winning back the man she spurned earlier in the season. At the cocktail party, the tension builds for one overwhelmed radio DJ when he has to make a decision between the three women looking to him for their rose. The pressure proves too much for one of the ladies, as she makes the dramatic decision to leave Paradise before the rose ceremony. Ready to move into the final week in Paradise, five confident bachelors hand out their roses but one handsome hairdresser shocks everyone when he sends himself home, leaving three women without roses. A struggling suitor decides to end things with his emotional bachelorette when he realizes that their relationship isn't as progressed as the others. Devastated, she leaves Paradise again without the man of her dreams. The happy couples head out on their final dates where they have some fun in the sun. But, will doubts arise as the couples face what the future holds for their relationships? Who will leave Paradise in love, and who will leave Paradise in tears?

In "Episode 306B," which airs TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT), the story picks up as one panicked bachelor voices his concerns to a devastated bachelorette, leaving her fearful going into the final rose ceremony. One vulnerable bachelorette worries that her reserved guy may not reciprocate her feelings of love going into the all-important day. The couples arrive to the final rose ceremony where the possibility of happily ever after is just ahead of them. Who will leave their time in Paradise engaged and ready to start their next chapter and who will leave with their heart broken?

Over the course of six weeks, we'll follow these former bachelors and bachelorettes as they explore new relationships while living together in Mexico, in a secluded and dreamy paradise. America will watch as they fall in love or go through renewed heartbreak. "Bachelor in Paradise" will feature shocking twists, surprises, unexpected guests and some of the most unlikely relationships in "Bachelor" history. There's no telling who will find love this season, just like Jade and Tanner did last year with their engagement and subsequent wedding.
