Now, is this really the end of Bachelor in Paradise Season 7? We’ll have to wait and see. But it’s likely the strong storm impacting BIP is Tropical Storm Dolores, which formed on June 18 and dissipated on June 20. Meanwhile, ABC’s synopsis for Bachelor in Paradise Episode 9 suggests the cast merely takes a “break” from filming, and the cast will return to the beach once it’s safe.
“Things only get more complicated as clouds roll in and Paradise is forced to take a break from the beach,” the synopsis says. “When the clouds part, even if there isn’t a lot of damage from the storm, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a mess to clean up on Bachelor in Paradise.”
