The 2021 Bachelor In Paradise cast has been announced!
Many fan favorites are confirmed- along with a few controversial singles who are coming back to mingle- and possibly create more drama for the franchise’s seventh season.
The cast will include “19 singles, and the addition of unreleased surprise guests throughout filming,” according to the NY Post.
Don’t forget, hosts will rotate this season for the first BiP sans longtime host, Chris Harrison who is not returning to the franchise.
The ladies:
The longest female member of Bachelor Nation to join the cast, Tahzjuan Hawkins, from season 23 with Colton Underwood, will join more sexy singles including Maurissa Gunn, Victoria Paul, Kelsey Weir, Deandra Kanu, Natasha Parker, and Tammy Ly from the 24th season starring Peter Weber.
From Matt James’s season, Serena Pitt will return in hopes of finding love after choosing to leave as a finalist, as well as Jessenia Cruz, Abigail Heringer, Mariela Pepin, Serena Chew, and the self-proclaimed ‘Queen’ Victoria Larson, one of the most disliked contestants from the franchise’s 25 season history.
The gentlemen:
Joe Amabile from season 14 of The Bachelorette starring Becca Kufrin will join the cast alongside Brendan Morais, Ivan Hall, and Kenny Braasch from the show’s 16th season starring Clare Crowley and Tayshia Adams.
The controversial Noah Erb from Tayshia’s season and Karl Smith from Season 17 of The Bachelorette starring Katie Thurston are also returning, to many fans’ chagrin.
