Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you have probably heard about the BIP scandal involving Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. If you haven't heard about it, let me catch you up. 'Bachelor in Paradise' was shooting their current season when rumors of sexual misconduct erupted. The rumors involved Olympios and Jackson.

No one knows exactly what happened, but the rumors state that Olympios had gotten drunk and made sexual advances toward Jackson. The misconduct halted production of the show temporarily. Production has since resumed, but, because of the sexual misconduct rumors, they are instituting new rules:

-The first rule is that contestants are allowed only 2 drinks an hour.
-The second rule states that if contestants want to engage in sex, they have to clear it with production first. If contestants do not give production consent, producers have the authority to stop the contestants, even if they are mid-coitis.

Will we see Olympios and Jackson back in 'Paradise?' Highly unlikely, according to sources. Olympios has hired a lawyer to conduct an independent investigation. Jackson released a statement stating that he "feels played," "that the color of his skin played a part in him being asked to leave the show," and that "every contestant is a pawn in the game."

My Two Cents

I'm not sure if everything is true, or if it is a big publicity scheme to hype up the premiere. If it isn't true, using a "sexual misconduct scandal" in order to increase ratings is disgusting.

If it is true, as much as I don't like DeMario Jackson (I hate him for what he did to Rachel on this season of "Bachelorette."), I have to side with him. Corinne showed her true colors on her season of "The Bachelor." She dressed up like a harlot and seduced the Bachelor on that season, not to mention, she was always drunk. Her seducing someone in "Paradise" is very believable. If you don't want to be perceived as a wh*re, don't act like one. Simple as that. It's really sad because she is a pretty girl. If she grew up a little, and gained some self-respect, she could be an unstoppable force in this world.

Will I be watching BIP this summer? I'm still undecided. I feel as if there is so much happening behind-the-scenes that we all don't know about.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
