It’s almost time for paradise!
Fans are less than a month away from seeing their favorite contestants from “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” venture down to the beaches of Sayulita, Mexico, to find love and avoid drama— and the crabs — on Season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Based on the extended trailer, viewers should anticipate multiple confrontations between contestants and a constant stream of tears. The clip ends with quick shots of what looks to be multiple proposals, but a twist halfway through the teaser will likely become the most talked about moment of the season.
During one intense interaction, Jesse Palmer — who is hosting the summer show for the first time along with returning bartender (and recently married man) Wells Adams — says in a voiceover that, “A shocking twist divides the beach.”
In the next scene, he announces to the cast, “Ladies, go back your bags. You’ll be leaving paradise immediately.”
One contestant calls the shakeup “insane” while others look distraught.
Aside from this mysterious change, Season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise” seems to follow the same format from the past seasons, which means fans can expect to see over 30 fan-favorites from Bachelor Nation arrive on the beach to find love.
While new cast members join over the course of the season, the first group of contestants to walk down the treacherous steps that lead to Playa Escondida are typically the ones that last the longest. They also have the most compelling storylines.
Take a look at which contestants from the recent seasons (and even one from six years ago) are going to be on Season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise," which starts on Sept. 27 on ABC.
