THE WOMEN HAVE THE POWER THIS WEEK AT THE ROSE CEREMONY AND ASHLEY I. FINDS HERSELF IN UNCHARTED WATERS, ON ABC'S "BACHELOR IN PARADISE"

"Episode 205A" - After Joe's dream girl Samantha accepted a date from his friend Justin, Joe mopes around Paradise feeling dejected.

Disappointed Justin then asks out his second choice Bachelorette, Amber, though her heart lies with an uninterested Dan. But trying to make the best of it, the odd couple heads to Sayulita where they learn the sexy art of salsa dancing and take a dip in the ocean.

Meanwhile, a new but seasoned Bachelor, Chris Bukowski, arrives in Paradise with a date card but struggles to make the right impression. Things are worsened by a day full of drinking and when he's rejected by his date choice, Tenley, he's left humiliated and sad. Adding insult to injury, Joshua boldly takes the opportunity to ask Chris for his unused date card to take Tenley, the very same woman who rejected Chris! The two make use of a relinquished date card and head to Guadalajara where they spend the day getting a taste for Mexican food and culture, and are treated to a private dinner prepared by renowned chef Francisco Ruano. Things get spicy and sweet for Joshua and Tenley.

The night of the cocktail party, the men are feeling the pressure as the power lies in the hands of the women. Both Amber and Ashley I. desperately vie for Jared, while Dan, who's on the chopping block, makes it his mission to convince Samantha that Joe isn't what he seems. In what becomes Paradise's most dramatic rose ceremony to date, shocking decisions are made, resulting in a surprise departure. The night isn't over though when Chelsie, a new arrival, joins Paradise.

"Episode 205B" -- On MONDAY, AUGUST 31 (8:00-9:02 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network, it's the morning after and everyone is still reeling from last night's dramatic events. Chelsie, who arrived with a date card, decides to ask out Nick, who is instantly motivated to end his relationship with Ashley S. The new duo head off to enjoy an ocean cruise on a luxurious yacht and snorkel in the turquoise waters of Paradise. Despite the romantic setting, this handsome couple lacks chemistry, leaving Chelsie in the "friend zone."

Later, Mackenzie arrives to Paradise and gets the lowdown on the available men. She decides to take Justin and they head off into the jungle where they encounter a Shaman who puts them through an elaborate native ceremony conducted entirely in Spanish. Then at the end, they are pronounced "married," leaving the couple stunned.

That same night a feisty new arrival, Jaclyn, arrives to Paradise ready to stir up the drama. She quickly sets her sights on Jared, who has long been claimed by Ashley I.
