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.
