All the rejects that we both love and love to hate from this franchise are checking into the beaches of paradise for a second, third, or fourth chance at love. Let’s take a look at this latest preview to see who will be showing up and what surprise couples are headed our way. What I love about Bachelor in Paradise is that there’s no real attempt to appear refined.
Looking at the cast list, at least what’s been released so far, we can see that there are more women than men. This, if you’re not familiar with this show, means the men will be giving out the roses first, and any woman not in a couple after the first rose ceremony will be headed home.
Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 Cast
Before diving into Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 Episode 1, let’s quickly talk about some of the contestants. Our first two contestants seen here are Kat from Zach season and Diver Guy, who got, like, no screen time from Charity season, AKA John Henry. Note the matching tattoos now.
Previously at the Man Tell All, Jesse showed us a shot of Kat getting on with the infamous Brayden from Charity season. But since both Kat and Brayden are listed as day one Beachers, and John Henry seems to come later, I’d say Diver Dude swoops in and becomes the more serious connection for Kat. Perhaps Brayden will be how Kat makes it through the first week.
Then we have Will from Michelle Season, the man who had his most prized possession in the world thrown in a pool by Pizza Peter. And he’s with Olivia, who I definitely remembered and did not have to check the cast video to figure out who they were.
Olivia will be one of the Night One eliminations from their season additions to Paradise that they do every year. Now let’s discuss when Episode 1 of Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 will be released and what will happen in it.
