8 Reasons This Season of Bachelor In Paradise Will Be The Craziest Yet

If you watched the After The Final Rose special last night, you saw Chad’s amusing plea to be the next Bachelor (“I think that I, as well as other people, deserve love,” he said). But you also saw that he doesn’t exactly clean up his bad boy act in Paradise either. “There are probably a lot of people out there who think I’m a bad guy because of the way I was on the show, and when you watch Bachelor in Paradise it might even amplify things and make them even worse, but I made some mistakes,” he said. Is packing too much protein powder one of them?

While we don’t know exactly who will pop the question, BIP has a pretty solid streak for actually producing couples that last. Jade and Tanner tied that knot after last season and Lacy and Marcus did the season before. The trailer shows Bachelorette alum Nick looking at Neil Lane rings, perhaps for the always adorable single mom Amanda? As for the other proposals, we’ll have to wait and see. 

During JoJo’s season, Evan was the kid on the playground that always falls down. But it looks like things get a little more serious than his chronic bloody nose, as the teaser shows him being taken out on a stretcher at one point. It’s unclear if the incident is Chad-related, but either way we hope to find out if Evan reimbursed for that ripped T-shirt after their last altercation.

Or who will have chemistry. One of the most unlikely pairings this season? Wells, the soft-spoken radio DJ from JoJo’s season and Ashley, the slightly hysterical virgin from Chris Soules’ season and last summer’s Bachelor In Paradise. They are the true definition of the “opposites attract.” 

She was easily one of the most polarizing characters during Ben’s season and she continues to rock the Bachelor boat with Chad early on before moving on to Grant, the fire fighter from JoJo’s season.

Perhaps one of the most cringeworthy parts of last season’s BIP was Jared and Ashley’s one-sided relationship, which led Ashley to have a meltdown pretty much anytime Jared look at another girl in the house. Though Ashley still clearly has feelings for him, it looks like she resorts to mean girl tactics when Caila catches his eye.

Last season Bachelor Nation watched Carly, a singer-songwriter, fall in love with Kurt only to be rejected in the final episodes. And now the fun-loving fan fave is back proving that second chances are indeed possible in Paradise.

We still can’t tell identical twins Emily and Hayley apart, but it’s always entertaining to watch the sisters banter back and forth with each other and the housemates. Expect a few twin tears along the way.
