Bachelor in Paradise enters its fifth week of beachfront drama on Monday night with back-to-back episodes that include the arrival of four new ladies, and the departure of seven contestants who will leave Paradise single and ready to mingle or completely heartbroken.
In addition to the arrivals and departures in Paradise , one couple will break off their steamy relationship before the rose ceremony. But that won’t be the only drama fans will see during the Week 5 drama-fest.
ABC’s preview (video below) shows Josh Murray losing his cool with Nick Viall and several other contestants — get the low-down on Josh’s meltdown below along with some other interesting tidbits about the upcoming episode of Bachelor in Paradise .

This season, fans are left with a cliffhanger on Tuesdays, so Monday night’s episode will once again start out with the continuation of last week’s (Week 4) rose ceremony and one more guy will arrive in Paradise.
According to Reality Steve , Wells Adams (JoJo’s season) will show up in Paradis e ahead of the four girls from Ben Higgins’ season who will join the cast this week. Wells will finally give Ashley Iaconetti something to think about other than Jared — she accepts a date with Wells and quickly becomes one of the couples rumored to make it to the season finale.

There will be plenty of drama before Tiara Soleim, Lauren Himle, Jami Letain, and Shushanna Mkrtychyan arrive in Paradiseduring Week 5. In addition to Vinny’s departure after his breakup with Izzy, twins Haley and Emily Ferguson will leave before the first rose ceremony of the week. Daniel Maguire, Ryan Beckett, and Carl King will be eliminated at the rose ceremony.
Before the twins leave, fans will see Josh gather a group of contestants together and start ranting about his relationship with Amanda. Apparently, Josh isn’t happy that everyone is warning Amanda about his intentions and, according to Reality Steve , he “blows a gasket” and rips into just about everyone including Nick Viall.
“A few guys speak up against Josh, but he takes most of it out on Nick because, well, it’s Josh and Nick. There HAD to be conflict. This fight will not show Josh in the greatest of light from what I’m hearing. He essentially blew a gasket.”

After Josh chews everyone out, Chris Harrison will welcome Tiara, Lauren, Jami, and Shushanna to Paradise , but is it too late in the season for them to start a new love story?
Who goes on dates during Week 5?
Although Ashley has a great connection with Wells, he will agree to go on dates with two of the new girls — Shushanna and Jaime. In her Bachelor in Paradise recap in Cosmopolitan magazine, Ashley explains that she was finally able to move on from Jared, but there is no doubt that fans will see her start crying when Wells leaves her behind to spend time with two other ladies.
There are two other date cards available this week. Lauren Himle will go on a date with Brett, but Tiara will give away her date card to Nick and Jen.
Who leaves during Week 5?
A total of seven contestants will leave this week, but three will leave before the rose ceremony. Keep in mind, ABC may hold the rose ceremony over until finale week (Week 6, September 5 – 6), but here’s what to expect.
Caila Quinn will leave because she doesn’t like the drama, but Ashley and several other contestants (see Carly Waddell’s tweet below) agree that she just wasn’t all that interested in Jared. Her departure before the rose ceremony prompts Jared to exit Paradise as well. Spoilers point to Izzy and Shushanna also leaving before the rose ceremony.
Chris Harrison will then call the remaining contestants together for one of the most important rose ceremonies of the season. The contestants who remain will head to the season finale where they must decide if they will break up or leave Paradise as a couple.
Brett will leave during the rose ceremony without giving anyone a rose and three ladies will be eliminated in Week 5 — Lauren, Tiara, and Jami.
Five couples will remain at the end of Week 5 — Grant and Lace, Nick and Jen, Evan and Carly, Josh and Amanda, and Wells and Ashley.
According to a previous report from the Inquisitr, two couples will break up before the final rose ceremony that will air on Tuesday, September 6.
