Bachelor in Paradise 4: DeMario Jackson reportedly invited back
According to a report from Us Weekly, Jackson will have a chance to return to Mexico for the show, provided that he wants to go, after a scandal nearly caused the entire franchise to collapse. A Warner Bros. investigation concluded that there was no “misconduct” between Jackson and fellow contestant Corinne Olympios, a claim that she and her attorney still dispute. Odds are, she will not be returning to the series at any point soon. Jackson had wanted the tape of the night released publicly so that his name could be cleared, especially given that he was reportedly fired from his job after the allegations first surfaced.
Should Jackson want to go back? That’s a good question given that in two appearances, not much good has come out of it for him. For The Bachelorette, he was at the center of some drama after an ex-girlfriend showed up at a group date claiming that he got on the show in secret without telling her in advance. Meanwhile, for Bachelor in Paradise the move could have challenges in its own regard, given that he will be linked to the incident as a discussion point and could be treated by the contestants differently because of it, even it nothing wrong occurred. There were many of them who spoke out in defense of him in the press, but will he actually be able to find love on the show?
Overall, this entire season of Bachelor in Paradise could have a very different feel given that these contestants have all been through a very strange experience, and with that, they all also probably know each other better than the average contestants do. Will they be able to focus on romance and find love? It’s difficult to say, but we’re pretty confident that this season won’t end with three engagements like the one did last summer. (Of those three, Evan Bass and Carly Waddell are now married, which makes them the second couple from this show to legally tie the knot — we’re not counting Marcus and Lacy since they never actually made it official.)
