The Bachelor in Paradise finale is officially (almost) here

Bachelor in Paradise is finally into its finale week. What can we expect from the final episode?

It feels as though we’ve been watching Bachelor in Paradise for much longer than a month and a half. Paradise‘s sixth season had its fair share of drama, hook ups, break ups, more drama and even a wedding. On Tuesday, it all comes to an end.

The final episode of Bachelor in Paradise brings one of two things for our remaining couples: a ring or a split (or a return to regular life with a healthy relationship, but that is less exciting). There are four couples left: Dylan and Hannah, Katie and Chris, Demi and Kristian and Nicole and Clay.

The couples will test their compatibility on a fantasy suite date and then decide where to take their relationship next. Expect engagements from a few of the couples as ABC has been promoting them all season long.

Dylan and Hannah seem like a virtual lock to be engaged. Chances are the “but” in the preview was either a joke from Hannah or an expert editing troll job from production. Katie and Chris are a close second when it comes to being solid, with Demi and Kristian also seeming to be a happy couple. The relationship between Clay and Nicole has been solid all season, but Clay has yet to tell Nicole he loves her, which seems to be at the front of her mind at the moment (and into the finale).

Telling someone you love them over a summer is a tough ask. A month and a half is not a lot of time. What’s even crazier is that the bachelors and bachelorettes are only actually in Paradise for three weeks. Yeah, three weeks. This is an insanely short amount of time to fall in love, let alone get engaged in. Still, we’re going to see multiple engagements on Tuesday.

Here’s how you can watch the three-hour final episode:

Date: Tuesday, Sept. 17
Start Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
Episode: “607” (season 6, episode 13)
TV Channel: ABC
Live Stream: ABC GO

The true excitement on finale night comes during the “tell-all” after the first two hours of the finale. There is so much to cover from Paradise‘s sixth season, including, but not limited to, Derek vs. John Paul Jones, Christian vs. Jordan, Blake vs. Stagecoach and an update on several couples that left the beach somewhat intact.

Dean and Caelynn left the show together and have been presumably living in his van ever since. John Paul Jones is not over Tayshia and there’s clearly something that will happen between them on the post-show reunion. Connor and Whitney ended up together at the Bachelor in Paradise exit hotel in what might have been the least dramatic, dumbest and most avoidable scene of the season. All three of these couples will have their respective questions answered on Tuesday night.

The Paradise finale will also introduce our next Bachelor, which seems to be narrowed down to two final contestants: Big Mike or Pilot Pete. Mike is one of the most loved contestants from the last season of The Bachelorette and would make an incredible Bachelor. Pete was left heartbroken and is about as likable as a person can get. Plus, there was the whole windmill thing (four times). The speculation comes to an end on Tuesday when the next Bachelor is announced (“or we riot” season is upon us).

With another Bachelor in Paradise season in the books, the long-standing television franchise can put the roses away for a couple of months. Once again, Paradise has produced strong, lovely couples. Mission accomplished, Chris Harrison.

The Bachelor in Paradise finale airs Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
