Bachelor in Paradise has aired weeks of drama, tears and romance, and it's all going to come to an end on Tuesday night.
What will come of Brandon Jones and Serene Russell's relationship?
The pair got together on the first day of Paradise and have been inseparable ever since. Serene and Brandon have even discussed on the show how they're ready to get engaged.

Victoria Fuller has called Johnny DePhillipo her "person," and the couple has expressed how they're falling in love with each other.
But does that mean Victoria and Johnny's relationship could work -- and last -- in the real world?
Michael Allio believes Danielle Maltby is his perfect match on paper, and they have been deepening their connection on the show ever since meeting. Danielle even hinted she was in love with Michael but was afraid to say it in case Michael's heart wasn't there yet.
Was Michael able to commit to Danielle, or did his walls go back up considering he'll always miss his late wife Laura Ritter-Allio?
And Kate Gallivan and Logan are in a committed relationship on the show right now, but their romance has been tested more than once, and Logan appears to be getting fed up.

In a recent interview on the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, The Bachelorette star Rachel Recchia -- who attended the November 4 taping of Bachelor in Paradise's reunion -- teased that the reunion was the "messiest" that will ever go down in show history.
"The amount of people that were just, like, coming at each other's necks -- whom you would never expect -- I was like, 'Where is this coming from?!' It was absolutely crazy," Rachel exclaimed, adding how something Eliza Isichei did surprised her the most.
And Tyler called the reunion "wild" and said fans will be in "disbelief" of what happens during a recent appearance on the "Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation" podcast.
"I think, oh my gosh, if there's an episode you want to watch, that's the one. That's the one you're going to be watching the screen in disbelief, like, 'What is going on?! This is crazy!'" Tyler teased to podcast co-hosts Mike Johnson and Bryan Abasolo.
"You just see 'the real' come out and then you just see some people stick up for themselves that you never expected."
And Tyler teased how Victoria, Brittany, and Kira Mengistu's storylines surprised him the most.

Carbone revealed in an October 25 blog posting that Victoria and Johnny reportedly split in early September.Rumors have recently been swirling that Victoria cheated on Johnny, and two Bachelor Nation sources have told YouTuber Dave Neal that Victoria cheated on Johnny TWICE!
One of the men Victoria had cheated on Johnny with is allegedly The Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo, who competed for Katie Thurston's heart on the show's seventeenth season.
Carbone said he hasn't heard anything about the cheating allegations, but in late October, Johnny added to the rumor mill by posting on his Instagram Stories how he's "unwell."
Victoria is dating former The Bachelorette bachelor Greg Grippo now
On October 21, a Bachelor Nation fan claimed to have seen Victoria and Greg together while she was visiting The Colosseum in Rome, Italy.ADVERTISEMENT
Unfortunately neither fan was able to take a good photo or video showing the faces of the alleged couple, leaving the legitimacy of the claims uncertain.
"I did hear 2 weeks ago 'rumblings' about Victoria and Greg being involved together in some capacity," Carbone wrote in his October 25 blog posting.
Carbone had heard there is "definitely" something going on between Victoria and Greg and they're "in communication."
The spoiler blogger explained, "All I know is they are definitely in contact since her breakup with Johnny. Whether it played a role in the breakup I'm not sure."
But later on October 25, Carbone tweeted a new update that he had now confirmed Victoria and Greg were indeed in Italy together.
"(SPOILER NOW CONFIRMED): Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo in Rome today near the Trevi fountain. Video coming soon," he wrote.
Carbone then proceeded to post a video which appeared to show Victoria and Greg each dressed very casually and attempting to obscure their appearances.
The Roman fountain footage represented a big wardrobe change from the earlier photo that allegedly showed Victoria and Greg in Capri.
On October 26, Carbone tweeted out an additional photo taken earlier that day which showed Victoria and Greg at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome.
"For those who STILL didn't believe that was Greg and Victoria in Italy... here's another. On the shuttle at FCO airport in Italy at 10am local time this morning," he wrote.
"Just so we're clear, Victoria & Greg are back in the states now," he added in a pair of followup tweets. "They flew from Rome to Newark this morning and landed about 90 minutes ago. She's headed back to Nashville now."

Victoria and Greg's faces were clearly visible in the photo, which appeared to have been taken by another passenger on the same shuttle.
Greg also recently left a flirty "good girl" comment on one of Victoria's Instagram posts, which he quickly deleted.
And The Bachelor alum Nick Viall then also posted a TikTok video of Victoria kissing Greg on the cheek at the dinner table during a Bachelor Nation game night with Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt.
Johnny and Victoria argue at the reunion
Johnny said he and Victoria were in couples' counseling for three weeks after filming ended."Victoria said Johnny called her a stupid c**t and she claimed he told her she didn't cook or clean so what good was she as a woman," Carbone tweeted on November 5.
Johnny admitted he said things he shouldn't have and regretted it, but he denied ever calling Victoria the awful C-word.
According to Carbone, Johnny said he didn't want to air dirty laundry but Victoria allegedly threw a wine glass at him and told him that she was out of his league.
Tyler Norris announced he heard from a reporter that Victoria had cheated on Johnny at a party in Los Angeles and she was telling people that she's "very much single."
"Victoria went off and started yelling at Tyler telling him to be quiet and this didn't involve him," Carbone tweeted on November 5.
