In March 2013, ABC canceledBachelor Pad after three seasons.

Fromseason 2 to9, the show was filmed inSayulita,Mexico, at Playa Escondida. Beginning inseason 10, the show would be taking place inCosta Rica.[1]
The show begins with an uneven number of women and men, with there being more women. At the first rose ceremony, the men are given a rose to hand out to a woman they would like to spend more time getting to know in paradise. The women left without roses are immediately sent home. New men are then brought to the beach, so at the next rose ceremony, women can give a rose to a man they would like to spend more time with and the remaining men are sent home. For seven weeks, this set up alternates between new men or new women joining the cast.
During initial filming ofseason 4, production was halted due to allegations of sexual misconduct between two contestants—DeMario Jackson and Corinne Olympios.[6] After an internal investigation, it was determined that there was no misconduct and filming resumed shortly after.[7]
