We're a few weeks into summer, and you know what that means: time for ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise! It feels like it’s been forever since Paradise season 9 aired. It was a wild ride, but season 10 looks to be even better!
The show has announced a few changes this season: a move to Costa Rica (we will miss the old beach, but it’ll be fun to see the new one!), a new addition in the form of beloved Hannah Brown, and a wide range of new cast members!
It looks to be a great cast with a mix of ages and personalities from different seasons. There are a few contestants we’re especially excited to see!
Dale Moss
Dale had one of the most fascinating arcs on any season of The Bachelorette. As we all remember, Dale was Clare Crawley’s favorite on night one of season 16 (or before, thanks to the Covid delay). After just a few episodes, Dale proposed to Clare and their time on the season ended!
There were so many questions: how much did Dale have to do with any of this, and how much was producer influence? Did he want to propose? Was he really into Clare? Most importantly, we didn’t really get to know Dale. We mostly got Clare’s perception of him.
So let’s get to know him on the beach this summer! Dale has reportedly said he’d be open to another engagement– who knows what will happen!
Kat Izzo
If there’s one contestant who is sure to deliver in terms of drama, it’s Kat Izzo.
Who could forget her unforgettable time on Bachelor in Paradise last season? She really delivered in terms of intrigue, gossip, and many, many emotions.
The most amazing moment was probably when her birthday cake went floating off into the ocean. Kat ended the season engaged to John Henry, which was a pretty crazy match, but is now single and ready to mingle!
Kat is hard to read, but viewers will have another chance to get to know her this season!
Leslie Fhima
It’s unclear exactly how Leslie fits in with the group on the beach this season, but we’re just happy she’ll be there!
The Golden Bachelor contestant from Minneapolis is television gold. Dare I say she was the most interesting contestant on her season! She’s open with her emotions, she’s hilarious and always gives witty commentary.
Whose heart didn’t break for her when Gerry sent her home at the last minute?
Leslie’s youthful energy would be perfect for a younger man! She encapsulates everything that Bachelor in Paradise offers: openness to experience, fun times, and plenty of laughs!
Season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise premieres Monday, July 7 on ABC!
