Every year on Bachelor in Paradise ,we witness some pretty wild things take place on-screen.

Proposals, betrayal, plenty of drama and (very occasionally) love.

But what we sometimes forget is that there are just as many interesting things taking place off-camera that we don't get to see.

From sex rules to hostel-looking rooms, here are all the behind-the-scenes secrets fromBachelor in Paradise.

If you're not watching Bachelor in Paradise just yet, watch the trailer here first. Post continues below.

Limited alcohol.

Whether they're lounging on a daybed or getting rowdy at a 'Bula Banquet', it's rare to see aBachelor in Paradisecast member without a drink in hand.

But according to Brittany Hockley, there are strict rules around alcohol consumption to ensure things don't get too out of hand.

In an episode of Life Uncut, the podcast she hosts with 2017Bachelorwinner Laura Byrne, Hockley shared that theParadisebar opens at midday.

"Then you get two drinks an hour, and you can basically drink until midnight," she said.

"That’s a lot of drinks, and in the sun."

Brittany insisted that producers watch closely for signs of intoxication.

"They have a duty of care, so while you’re allowed that many drinks, the second they think you’ve had too many, or you’re too intoxicated, they’ll cut you off.

"I think Jamie [Doran] got cut off a few times, and I think [Brittney Weldon] got cut off once, bless her soul."

A spokesperson for the program previously told The Daily Telegraph that cast members are also not allowed to drink unless they've eaten breakfast, nor can they have straight shots of spirits (mixed drinks only, please).

Non-alcoholic drinks and food are also available at all times, on top of scheduled meal breaks.

Contestants have to give consent.

While we assume that contestants can get up to as much mischief as they want inParadise,that is hardly the case.

When appearing on the SO DRAMATIC!podcast, Abbie Chatfield shared that during *that* steamy scene where she and Ciarran Stott were under the sheets, producers had to get verbal consent from both of them before anything more happened.

"Nothing exciting happened and then they asked for us to give consent," Abbie explained.

"When you're going to have sex with someone onParadiseor someone stays in your bed and they see you touching each other, they need to get you recording yourself saying, 'I give consent.'

"They literally knock on the window and say, 'Hey guys, we're going to have to get you to give consent now.'"

But Abbie did clarify, that this was probably a good thing.

"It was good because I probably would have slept with him if they didn't walk in and go, 'Do you guys want to give consent?'"

The pay isn't amazing.

Although these contestants get to lie by the pool all day and sip mango daiquiris, we did assume that they would get paid to appear onParadise.

Speaking to Hit 103.5’s Carly and Seamus in April 2019,Bachelor in Paradisestar Ivan Krslovic (yes, *that* avocado guy) shared how much he got paid on the show and well…it’s not much at all.

“Yeah, we definitely do [get paid],” Ivan said, as he confirmed the contestants are paid around $100 to $200 a day.

“Most of us have got full-time jobs so we need money to pay for bills and stuff… it’s enough to get us through the week,” he added.

“We’re sipping cocktails and sitting around in our boardshorts so it’s not too bad.”

But according to the
