Bachelor In Paradise (ABC, 8 p.m.): Last season on Bachelor In Paradise, a bunch of stuff happened that most of us won’t remember because there have been approximately 15 seasons of Bachelor and Bachelor-related shows on since then. (Okay, two seasons, but the Luke P. storyline on The Bachelorette was just interminable.) One of the things that happened, however, was that these two crazy kids got engaged after dating on TV for a whole five minutes or whatever:
Well, it’s been a year, and Krystal and Chris are still making it work. They even have a joint YouTube channel, so you know it’s serious. And tonight, noted television personality and (apparently) ordained minister Chris Harrison will marry them, on television. We assume some of the current residents of the Paradise palapas will get drunk at the reception and make questionable decisions, but really, we just want to know if Harrison, like Benedict Cumberbatch, Lady Gaga, and this writer before him, got ordained through the Universal Life Church.
The show may or may not be your thing, but surely we can all agree that this title sequence is a symphony of awkwardness:
Wild card
Bring The Funny (NBC, 10:01 p.m.e): In a very different corner of reality TV land, ambitious comedians are doing things with duct tape.
It is really going to hurt when he peels all that tape off his poor little face.

BiP is a guilty enjoyment (it’s not always pleasurable) and that opening is perfect. They lean hard into overly cheesy 80s parody, and you can tell most of the cast think it’s ridiculous and are having a blast doing a stupid pose.
So, no he didn’t.The Universal Life Church Monastery reports that The Bachelor host Chris Harrison became a legally ordained minister on June 28, 2012 and has since used his online ordination to perform the wedding of two of his show’s producers, Cassie Lambert and Pete Scalettar.
