Bachelor in Paradise is derided as the "trashier cousin" of The Bachelor franchise, but it has couples who stay together

The Washington Post

Despite the reality show's controversies, Lisa Bonos says "a more wholesome conclusion from Paradise is that the show is on its way to a better success rate than the franchise’s other shows. The Bachelor, which wrapped its 22nd season in March, typically ends in engagements, although the couples tend to break up quickly. The Bachelorette, which wrapped its 14th season this month, has a 50-50 success rate for the final couples. But Paradise is on track to yield roughly one lasting couple per season. At least four couples who met on the show are still together, and this season, the show’s fifth, could bring more engagements.
