Bachelor in Paradise's two-night finale event begins Monday night, with the reunion special airing on Tuesday, September 11.
Viewers have watched a series of cast members come and go, with love blossoming in between arrivals and goodbyes.
In addition to Astrid, Annaliese, Chris, Joe, Jenna, Jordan, Kamil, Kendall, Kevin, and Krystal, the following cast members are still on the show: John Graham, Olivia Goethals, Cassandra Ferguson, Shushanna Mkrtychyan, Kenneth "Diggy" Moreland, and Jordan Mauger.
Astrid and Kevin are a couple, and so are Krystal and Chris. Kendall and Joe have been serious for a while now, and John is serious about Olivia. The other cast members, however, are wild cards when it comes to whether they will find a lasting connection in Paradise.
According to previews for the remaining two episodes, Paradise will welcome another newcomer in JoJo Fletcher's The Bachelorette runner-up, Robby Hayes, who will surely stir things up.
The penultimate episode on Monday night, airing from 8-10PM ET/PT, will feature one couple enjoying a romantic date, which may serve as a dress rehearsal for their future, as a professional photographer takes potential engagement photos.

"Things go well until the female model is asked to change into a wedding dress, which rattles her more than she anticipated," according to ABC's press materials for Bachelor in Paradise's final two episodes. "Will the bride-to-maybe become a runaway, or will her intended groom sweet-talk her into staying in Paradise."
The next Date Card will the show up in the hands a new arrival, who is remembered for his alleged shady past involving a former Bachelor in Paradise relationship.
This is likely Robby, who apparently receives a lukewarm reception from the group. Robby had dated single mom, Amanda Stanton, in Paradise but they split shortly after the show because he was accused of cheating on her and wanting to party.

However, a "bewitched" woman, smitten with his good looks, will accept a date with him, and according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, this woman is Shushanna.
"Will he be able to win her rose or will she heed the warning of her friends who fear that he hasn't changed?" the network teases.
Meanwhile, a "confused and lovesick suitor" shows up for the Rose Ceremony still reeling from a disappointing conversation with his girlfriend the previous night. Both individuals will have to put their cards on the table to truly see if they do, in fact, feel the same way about each other.

The morning after the Rose Ceremony, the surviving couples expect new women to make their way to the beach, but the group will be surprised to see Chris Harrison.
Chris Harrison will explain that the romantic overnight dates in the Fantasy Suites are reserved for those couples who are ready to take that next step in their relationships and figure out whether they can make things work at home.
"One couple shocks the others by leaving in anger and tears, while others remain to spend the last night together in Paradise. Which, if any, of the couples will get engaged?" ABC teases.

Chris will be joined by a live studio audience to watch the remaining couples spend their final moments in Paradise.
"With the possibility of engagements, there is no doubt that tears will be shed, whether they are from heartbreak or joy," ABC says.
For one couple, the woman has been ready to get engaged from the moment they met, while her love-at-first-sight hasn't been moving quite as fast. However, he seems eager to catch up, so viewers will find out whether his feelings will get there in time for a storybook ending.

For another couple, the journey hasn't been easy with others attempting to come between them. Despite temptation, they haven't given up yet.
But has this pair developed enough confidence in each other to take on the real world as a team?
And the final couple is surely in love, but they have a lot of doubts, stemming from troubled family situations growing up. True love and commitment are daunting for both of them, given neither person has experienced it before. However, they may find it even scarier to leave Paradise without each other.
Later during the finale, the cast will reunites and everyone will share the current status of their love lives. Former couples will have to face each other after difficult breakups, while some favorites will fight -- as two old rivals go head-to-head once again.
Looking for a second chance, one regretful woman is reunited with the man she broke up with, but will he find it in his heart to forgive her once again?
And finally, the audience will be shocked when one romantic hopeful is blindsided and dumped onstage in "one of the most intense breakups in Bachelor franchise history," according to ABC.
While they aren't the reunion show break-up ABC is teasing (keep reading to find out who is!), one break-up viewers probably won't see coming is Kendall and Joe. Carbone says the couple will break up at the cocktail part preceding the final Rose Ceremony.

At the Final Rose Ceremony, the guys who will reportedly be present are Robby, Jordan M., Diggy, John, Kamil, Chris, Kevin, and Jordan K.
The women still left by the final Rose Ceremony will reportedly be Astrid, Cassandra, Shushanna, Krystal, Annaliese, Olivia, and Jenna.
Carbone claims Diggy will be the only person sent home at the Final Rose Ceremony.
After Chris Harrison enters the scene, Robby and Shushanna will reportedly quit the show and choose to remain friends, while Jordan M. and Cassandra make the same decision to skip the Fantasy Suite.
Astrid and Kevin have been together for most of the season and appear to be completely smitten with each other. But the couple will allegedly shock fans and decide to split before the round of overnight Fantasy Suite dates as well.
Four couples reportedly choose to take advantage of an overnight Fantasy Suite date and take their relationships to the next level: Annaliese and Kamil, John and Olivia, Krystal and Chris, and Jenna and Jordan.
And two couples end up getting engaged on Bachelor in Paradise's fifth season: Chris and Krystal as well as Jordan K. and Jenna!

Krystal and Chris got involved with each other in the form of a betrayal to another cast member, when Chris had kissed Krystal after promising Tia Booth that he was "all in" their relationship.
Once Tia broke things off with Chris for good, he focused all of his energy onto his romance with Krystal, and it didn't take long for the couple to commit to each other. Krystal has faced temptation in Paradise, like when Connor Obrochta entered the picture, but she decided to see things through with Chris.
During their latest date in Paradise, Chris expressed he's "in love" with the blonde beauty, and she in turn told Chris, "I love you," back. Krystal even went as far as to say she couldn't imagine her life without Chris in it.

And as previews show for the finale, Jordan will wear a tuxedo on the beach, awaiting Jenna, who will show up in a wedding dress.
The couple is smitten with each other and has even discussed baby names, so Jordan K. ultimately decided to make Jenna his future wife.
So what is the current status of all these couples' relationships in the real world, and have any bachelors or bachelorettes from Bachelor in Paradise's fifth season -- who left the show single -- found love in recent months?
According to Carbone, Annaliese and Kamil kept dating after the show wrapped filming earlier this summer but he broke up with her onstage during the filming of Bachelor in Paradise's reunion special on August 28. The crowd allegedly turned against Kamil when fans watched him break her heart.
Astrid and Kevin had an emotional departure from Paradise, but Carbone says they reconciled when they got home and now they're dating again and things are going well.
Kendall and Joe also apparently sparked their flame again once they left Mexico and escaped the Bachelor world.
Not only did Kendall visit Joe in Chicago a few weeks ago, but social media indicates Joe also spent an early August weekend in Los Angeles, CA, with her. While in Los Angeles, Kendall and Joe attended a Dodgers game together, so there is clearly still potential between them to find lasting love.
John and Olivia are also reportedly still dating in the real world and trying to make things work.
In an interesting turn of events, previously-eliminated bachelorette, Chelsea Roy, is romantically involved with Nick Spetsas, who showed interest in her very early on in Paradise but was eliminated at a Rose Ceremony.
Chelsea has traveled to Florida twice to visit Nick, Carbone says, including a trip that she took about three weeks ago.
And what ever happened with Angela Amezcua, who left Bachelor in Paradise with a broken heart thanks to Eric Bigger?

However, Clay Harbor from Becca Kufrin's recent The Bachelorette season apparently scooped Angela up and won her over. Clay confirmed in early September on social media he is dating Angela and they are crazy about one another.
As for Robby and Shushanna, they are no longer dating, and Carbone reports Jordan M. is also no longer romantically involved with Cassandra.
