“Bachelor in Paradise” is set to return on July 7 with an exciting twist: former “Bachelorette” Hannah Brown will join Wells Adams as a bartender, mixing drinks and sharing insights with the new cast. At a recent cocktail party, Brown expressed her gratitude for the opportunities that came her way through being part of the “Bachelor Nation.” “I almost felt like it was a beautiful, redemptive full-circle thing,” she noted, highlighting her commitment to guiding contestants with the wisdom she’s gained from her own journey on reality television.
This season will feature not just younger contestants but also older singles from the franchise’s “Golden” spinoffs, which Adams believes adds significant depth to the show. He praised the energy brought by the older contestants, saying, “Honestly, them being there is like the best thing that has ever happened in ‘Paradise.’” Both Adams and Brown remarked on the unique dynamic of the “Golden” participants, with Brown humorously suggesting they can sometimes be more fun than their younger counterparts.
As the show ventures into familiar territory of summer reality dating, competing shows like Peacock’s “Love Island USA” continue to draw attention. But Adams remains confident in the “Bachelor” format, arguing that the audience is more engaged with familiar faces who have shared their love stories on previous seasons.
Fans can catch the new season of “Bachelor in Paradise” airing Mondays at 8 ET/PT, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu the following day. With Brown’s insights and the inclusion of older contestants, this season promises to be full of entertaining twists and heartfelt moments.
