Bailey's choice, Gary's mistake, and a double 'Paradise' rose ceremony: 'Playing the Field'
COSTA RICA, AUG 5 – Season 10 adds a $500,000 prize and new elimination rules that shift focus from love to strategy, with Bailey Brown sending home a strong couple after a relationship test, producers said.
- During the Monday, August 4, 2025 episode of Bachelor in Paradise on ABC, Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston were eliminated following a new twist in the competition.
- The elimination occurred after the show announced no more new arrivals, shifting to relationship tests and offering a $500,000 prize to remaining contestants.
- Leslie, a 66-year-old fitness trainer from Minneapolis and runner-up on The Golden Bachelor, had strengthened her bond with 66-year-old Gary until his poor betting move led to their exit.
- Host Jessie Palmer announced that no additional contestants would be arriving in Paradise and explained that all upcoming challenges would focus on evaluating the strength of the couples’ relationships.
- This format change raises the stakes for couples to solidify their relationships quickly to avoid elimination and possibly leave the show with a large cash prize.
