Bachelor In Paradise last aired in December 2023. The Season 9 finale had three engagements, none of which lasted very long. ABC took the show off last year’s schedule to revamp it. Fans can expect some major changes for Season 10, which premieres in early July.
Bachelorette alum joins Jesse Palmer and Wells Adams in a new role of “Paradise Relations,” which includes offering advice and handing out drinks during the rose ceremonies. The season was filmed in Costa Rica instead of Mexico this year. That means upgraded accommodations for the contestants.
Speaking of the contestants, this year, viewers will see former contestants from the regular Bachelor and Bachelorette shows, plus former contestants from the two Golden spinoffs.
Bachelor In Paradise will continue the tradition of new contestants joining the beach after each rose ceremony, where multiple contestants are sent home. But the new season won’t be just a fun vacation for the contestants. ABC revealed a new element of challenges, though they didn’t reveal what the prize is for each challenge.
Season 10 of the spinoff premieres on ABC on Monday, July 7. The network dropped a dramatic new promo that confirms one rumored romance. Spoilers reveal details about another surprising love triangle hinted at in the trailer.
Season 10 Teaser Confirms Unexpected Romance
Everyone gets a second chance on Bachelor In Paradise, even the so-called ‘villains’ of previous seasons. Two notorious Bachelor Nation stars are on this season of BIP: Kat Izzo and Dale Moss. Kat was on Season 9 of BIP, but her engagement to John Henry Spurlock didn’t last. Neither did Dale’s engagement to Clare Crawley after they quit Season 16 of The Bachelorette to be together.
Social media sleuths noticed that family members of Kat and Dale started following each other, possibly indicating that the two are together. The new promo seems to confirm a romance between Kat and Dale. The trailer shows them making out on a boat. But they aren’t the only surprise romance. According to spoilers, there’s a messy love triangle between other contestants.
It’s almost paradise, baby.
