Sun, sand, drinks and a sense that nearly anything goes — it was a party atmosphere that made Bachelor in Paradise a wild ride for many contestants, and infectious viewing for its audience.
Then came a scandal that upended production, prompted an investigation into sexual misconduct by the show’s studio, Warner Bros., and exiled two contestants from the sybaritic eden that was the paradise’s Mexican resort set. Lawsuits still may follow. And while filming is now set to return any day now, producers say the cast members asked to return will be living in a much different Paradise.

Popcorn is delicious, portable, healthy and cheap… unless you go gourmet.
On a recent edition of “Good Morning America’s” Frugal Foodie segment, the hosts decided to examine the popular treat and whether or not paying a hefty price tag for gourmet kernels translated to a tastier product.
Read More: CinemaCon 2017: The Industry Is Set to Brawl Over the Netflix Effect and Home-Release Windows
A taste test was set up that consisted of three different popcorns: the gourmet bagged popcorn that costs about $5 a bag; the home and office favorite microwave popcorn; and stovetop kernel popcorn that Carla Lalli Music, food director at Bon Apetit magazine, cooked herself and seasoned with olive oil and an equivalent amount of salt to the other samples. It should be noted that it costs only 60 cents to pop the same amount that is included in a gourmet bag, and about $4 to make the same amount of microwave popcorn.
