BACHELOR IN PARADISE - “708” – Heading into the long-awaited cocktail party, five women prepare to be sent home, but first, they’ll have to make it through one of the craziest nights in Paradise history. Starting off with a bang, the beach’s most controversial couple faces a reckoning they can’t come back from. Then, one couple pays a visit to the Boom Boom Room, another endures a birthday breakup of epic proportions, and one unlucky lady gets a second chance at love, all before the rose ceremony even begins. When the roses are finally handed out, there’s one more surprise in store…WHAT?! Lil Jon has arrived as the next guest host and he’s not playing around, OKAY? In fact, he brought a whole new batch of guys with him who will make their entrances soon. Later, as a new day begins, it feels like a fresh start in Paradise. But is there more hope or heartbreak on the horizon for these beachgoers? Only time will tell on “Bachelor in Paradise,” TUESDAY, SEPT. 14 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

BACHELOR IN PARADISE - “705” – Watch out Paradise, there’s a storm brewing. As the women prepare to hand out their roses, nerves are getting the better of the men. But just when the future seems written, guest host Lance Bass has one more surprise up his sleeve, and it’s a big one. For the first time, a Bachelorette has made her way to Mexico and Becca Kufrin – rose in hand – is bringing the heat to the beach. Is that all? Not a chance. More familiar faces will make their entrances and the remaining couples will be put to the test, none more than Joe and Serena who will face their biggest challenge yet … and her name is Kendall, on “Bachelor in Paradise,” TUESDAY, AUG. 31 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

Ed Waisbrot is headed to Bachelor in Paradise! The former Bachelorette contestant will show up on the show’s Sept. 21 episode with Demar Jackson, with a date card in hand.

Could Ed be the one who she finally finds love with!? Learn more about him here before the show:

1. What Happened To Ed On ‘The Bachelorette’?

Ed was a contestant on season 16 of The Bachelorette, where he dated Clare Crawley, and then Tayshia Adams after Clare’s exit from the show. He didn’t get much screen time at the beginning of the season, but got more and more outspoken as filming went on. Ed called out fellow contestant, Chasen Nick, for not being on the show for the right reasons, and was a source of comic relief throughout the middle of the season. Although Tayshia was crushing on Ed for a bit, she wound up sending him home during week eight, along with two other contestants.
