The long awaited cast list for ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ has been released and it’s………………………………
confusing.
I’m confused as to why ABC had such a tough time getting solid D-list celebrities to star on the new Bachelor Pad spin-off. Usually ex-cast members are dying to turn their 15 minutes into 30 or 40 minutes of fame.
So I have one theory that may account for this rather lackluster list and that is…they will vote cast members off and bring new ones on. And the heavy-hitters like Courtney Robertson and Jef Holm probably had pull with their contracts and made sure that they would be the more desirable “walk-ons”–kind of like Jake Pavelka’s Pad contract guaranteed him at least 4 episodes before he’d be eliminated–but I may be dreaming.
So they may have cast some of these E-Listers because they will be eliminated pretty quick–But it better be really quick because the show is only six episodes and only films for 7 weeks in Tulum, Mexico! Not really enough time to find a life-partner, but what do I know.
I hope I am right because this list is kind of “eh”. I honestly don’t know who many of these people are and I am obsessed with this show!
So with no further ado, ABC has confirmed these 10 former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants for the upcoming show which will premiere on Monday, Aug. 4:
