"Bachelor in Paradise" premiered this week, and fans got to see last season's couple Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul get married at the Playa Escondida Resort in Sayulita, Mexico. Seeing the pair tie the knot may have inspired this season's contestants as they bring their A-game to the resort. Among those trying to find true love this season are:
Women:
Carly Waddell, Ashley Salter, Ashley Iaconetti, Jade Roper, Jillian Anderson, and Juelia Kinney from Chris Soules' season of "The Bachelor"; Tenley Molzahn from Jake Pavelka's season; Lauren Iaconetti (Ashley I.'s sister, who has never been on any of the "Bachelor" shows); and Clare Crawley from Juan Pablo Galavis' season.
Men:
JJ Lane, Jared Haribon, Tanner Tolbert, and Jonathan Holloway from Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of "The Bachelorette"; Mikey Tenerelli and Dan Cox from Desiree Hartsock's season; and Kirk DeWindt from Ali Fedotowsky's season.
On Sunday, a twist was already in place as it was announced that Ashley and Lauren are considered a team, meaning, if Ashley doesn't get a rose, then Lauren will have to go home with her. Clare arrived on Monday to stir things up, just like Michelle Money from last season who came in on Day 2.
So what can fans expect from "Bachelor in Paradise" next week? According to spoiler site Reality Steve, a number of things will happen as three new cast members arrive at the resort. They are Joe Bailey and Joshua Albers from Kaitlyn's season, and Michael Garofola from Desiree's season.
The men will ask the women on dates, and Joshua will take Tenley to a taco place. Joe will ask Juelia out and they will go on a horseback riding date. Meanwhile, Michael will ask Tenley out as well, and Jared and Clare will go on a sailboat.
Lauren will be leaving next week because she admitted that there's someone else at home and she thinks that there's a chance that things may work out between them.
There will also be more drama as Mikey lashes out at Clare for going out with Jared after he had gone out with her on the first episode.
As for the eliminations, three men will be sent home.
"Bachelor in Paradise" airs Sunday and Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
