The Official Bachelor In Paradise Fantasy League Starts Tomorrow!
The Bachelorette has ended, and it’s time for everyone’s favorite debauchery-filled guilty pleasure show to return to our TVs. After the potentially devastating news that we might not have a BIP Season 4, the sweet reality of knowing that the show returns tomorrow is that much better.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about how the Bachelor In Paradise fantasy league works, so we thought we’d lay out all the details in one convenient location.
Q: Why is there only one league type to choose from?
A: This is our Advanced League and, trust us, you’ll love it. Because the contestants switch out so frequently in BIP, it doesn’t really make sense to make conventional bracket picks. Many of the contestants who will appear on this season won’t even be announced during the first episode, some you won’t even see until the second half of the season. That’s why there is only one game type for Bachelor in Paradise, which is our advanced league!
Q: Okay, great. So how does an Advanced League work?
A: In our Advanced League, you will choose a team of contestants for each episode that will win or lose you points based on things that happen.
Q: What kinds of things?
A: Glad you asked. Our full list of rules for this season are listed below. Some can be earned repetitively, others can only be earned once.
