Way beforeBachelor in Paradisebecame our favorite summer TV guilty pleasure, there wasBachelor Pad.
Despite only airing for three seasons,Bachelor Padhad some very memorable moments.
If they both chose to split the money, that’s what would happen.
However, if they both chose to keep the money for themselves, neither would get the money.
The two dated on-and-off for several years before splitting for good in 2014 (viaBustle).
Then, in 2015, it was revealed that Kiptyn wasexpecting a child with his new girlfriend.
Tenley then was cast on the second season ofBachelor of Paradise, where she didn’t find lasting love.

After the Chicago-based entrepreneur was sent home on season 8 ofThe Bachelorette, he appeared onBachelor Padseason 3.

Toward the end of the season, most of the cast wanted to send Chris home.
However, Chris was one step ahead.
This move led to chaos within the house.
And so they did.
News.ABC Senior Vice President Robert Mills shared that ABC producers began brainstorming other ideas.
And, right there, a brilliant idea was born.
WhenBachelor in Paradisepremiered in 2014, no one really had any idea what to expect.
But the show premiered with 5.3 million viewers and the numbers just kept going up from there.
And the rest is history.
