The Bachelor in Paradise cast have staged a mini-mutiny, with many of the show's biggest stars deciding not to attend the official reunion.

The reunion, which was filmed in Sydney on Tuesday, featured a string of notable no-shows - and those who did attend described it as 'boring'.

Sources have confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that Bill Goldsmith, Richie Strahan, Cat Henesey-Smith, and Cassandra Wood all decided to ditch the taping.

Additionally, lesser-known Bachelor stars like Elora Murger, Mack Reid, and Wes Ford were also absent.

The show's foreign intruders, including Alex Bordy and Daniel Maguire, didn't attend either.

'It was really boring,' said an on-set source. 'Some of the cast members looked like they were falling asleep on stage.'

Daily Mail Australia understands that the drama was underwhelming and there were no physical fights between any of the cast members.

'It's not Married At First Sight,' sniffed one insider. 'The Bachelor franchise is a lot classier, nobody was trying to throw wine on anyone.'

The cast were reportedly divided during filming, with the show's female stars holding the men accountable for their actions during the season.

'The guys really copped it,' said a source. 'From Jules [Bourne] flipping on Alisha [Aitken-Radburn] to Ivan [Krslovic]'s aggressive antics, they all got slammed for their behaviour.

'It was very girl power, for the most part. The women really banded together and the guys were left groveling and apologising.'

Since Bill wasn't around to face the music, producers decided to use a cardboard cut-out of the plumber instead.

'Bill broke up with Alex Nation shortly after they left Fiji and it was really messy,' revealed an insider.

'But since he didn't show up for the reunion, Alex had to vent all her frustrations at the cardboard Bill and pretend that it was the real deal.'

They added: 'It was probably the most entertaining part of the whole night.'

Daily Mail Australia previously reported that several Bachelor in Paradise cast members were 'horrified' by how they'd been portrayed on the series this year.

'They're leaving huge stuff out, taking things totally out of context and even cutting and pasting random sentences together,' one source revealed.

'The contestants feel like the show that made it to air is so much different than what actually happened on the island.'

Bill even went rogue on Instagram last week, publicly attacking Channel 10 bosses.

The reality TV 'villain' said that both the network and Warner Bros. Australia, which produces The Bachelor franchise, had 'f**ked his reputation' through editing.

He also took a jab at the lacklustre ratings for the latest season of Bachelor in Paradise, calling the show 'a flop'.

'Channel 10 and Warner Bros have f**ked me over all for their ratings, and literally f**ked my reputation,' he raged. 'I'm pretty hurt by the whole thing.

'They have edited me and made me out to be someone who I'm not, all for their TV ratings. The ratings are another flop anyways, so not really sure it was all worth it.'

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 for comment.

Bachelor in Paradise's finale week continues on Channel 10 at 8:40pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the reunion episode airing on Thursday
