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.

Serena Pitt found her happily ever after on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise. Serena hit it off with Joe Amabile from the very first day on the beach, and their relationship began progressing pretty quickly. At one point, Joe’s fellow Bachelor Nation ex, Kendall Long, came to the beach, which worried Serena, but Joe made it clear that he was 100 percent committed to her and totally over Kendall.

As the weeks dwindled down, Serena and Joe opened up about how they were falling in love with each other. At the final rose ceremony, Joe got down on one knee and proposed with a giant Neil Lane ring. Serena happily accepted, and they spent the next three months secretly building their love story. Now that the finale has aired, though, Serena and Joe are able to go public with their romance, and they couldn’t be happier. Learn more about Serena Below!
