Warning! Potential SPOILERS ahead for Bachelor in Paradise season 7. Proceed with caution!
With less than two months away from the Bachelor in Paradise premiere, contestants for the new season have already been confirmed. The last time a new season of BIP aired was in the summer of 2019. Three couples left the beach engaged, while two more couples left in a relationship. Since then, three of the four engaged couples ended their relationship and have since moved on. Contestants from the franchise were unable to return in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions it caused.
The ABC series will be filmed shortly after The Bachelorette wraps its season and will take place on a private resort in Mexico. The season begins with a small group of contestants. However, the group grows every week as new people are added to the beach. This year's BIP may look different due to the COVID-19 restrictions and other changes within the franchise. Dates will likely only take place at the resort, and there will be several new BIP guest hosts such as David Spade. BIP season 7 will definitely be one to remember.
The resident Bachelor franchise blogger, Reality Steve, has revealed several contestants who are allegedly confirmed to appear on BIP this summer. ABC has only confirmed one contestant, Joe Park. He appeared on Clare Crawley/ Tayshia Adams' joint season of The Bachelorette last year. Besides Joe, according to Steve, there will be a total of 32 contestants on the beach this summer. He hasn't been able to confirm every contestant, but he does have a few he has received confirmation on who are in Mexico right now. Some of the couples who have already formed on BIP are Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer, Brendan Morais and Natasha Parker, Tammy Ly and Thomas Jacobs, Demi Burnett and Kenny Braasch, and Ivan Hall and Jessenia Cruz. According to Steve, Abigail and Noah have quickly become the "It" couple this season.
However, he later gave his fans an update on Twitter, revealing that four of the five couples have already called it quits and will not be leaving Mexico together. Pieper James, from Matt's season of The Bachelor, and Brendan Morais, from The Bachelorette, were rumored to be dating before the start of filming. Brendan was a part of the original cast, while Pieper was a later addition. He has since given his first rose to someone else, most likely Natasha, as they are one of the rumored couples. Becca Kufrin will also be on Paradise alongside Tia Booth, who appeared on Arie's season with Becca. Other Bachelor franchise veterans that will be on the beach this summer are Kendall Long and Joe Amabile. The pair met on the show three years ago and will reportedly be looking for love with other people. Steve also reported a potential love triangle will be taking place but did not confirm who was involved.
The new season of Bachelor in Paradise is scheduled to air on August 16, 2021. After being off the air for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, viewers are excited to see what this season will bring in terms of relationships and drama. Judging by Reality Steve's spoilers, fans will have a lot to look forward to.
