Bachelor stars spend less time in Paradise but season 9 drama at all-time high Tue 14 November 2023 13:21 Helen Williams

As love triangles on the beach are heating up to inferno level, fans are curious to know more about how long Bachelor In Paradise is set to run for. After kicking off season 9 on September 28, singletons from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette get to mingle together in Mexico. Their vacation usually lasts around three weeks – certainly long enough for sparks to fly or feuds to ignite.

Jesse Palmer is on hand hosting season 9 while Wells Adams is dishing out drinks and stirring up drama at the bar. Two couples are rumored to emerge engaged by the end of this year’s Bachelor In Paradise, but there are still episodes left to air before fans see who makes it to the end…

How many weeks is Bachelor In Paradise?

When it comes to how long the contestants are filming in Mexico, Bachelor In Paradise usually runs for three weeks, per Reality Steve.

Speaking on his podcast back in June, he explained that season 9 filming took around two and a half weeks, “17 or 18 days” – which is shorter than previous seasons.

Filming took place back in June this year.

BIP season 9 episodes

While the actual time spent in Mexico filming was relatively brief for Bachelor In Paradise stars, season 9 episodes run for 11 weeks.

The ABC show began on September 28 and comes to an end on December 7.

The schedule sees BIP airing each week on Thursdays. But, there’s no episode airing on November 23 due to Thanksgiving.

The show resumes on November 30 for episode 9 (airing 10-11 pm) and the finale airs on December 7 from 8-11 pm.
