"Bachelor in Paradise," ABC's latest spin-off of its immensely popular "Bachelor" franchise, has just begun (previous spin-offs include "The Bachelorette" and "Bachelor Pad").
The new series takes previous failed contestants from ABC's plethora of "Bachelor" shows, and places them in a tropical resort in Mexico, where instead of competing for money (like on "Bachelor Pad"), they'll be competing for love.
Zap2it has just released a full cast list for the series, which details precisely which previous "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants ABC will give another shot at reality TV romance.
The list is:
AshLee Frazier, Sarah Herron and Daniella McBride from Sean's season; Clare Crawley, Lacy Faddoul and Elise Mosca from Juan Pablo's season; Michelle Kujawa from Jake's season; Ben Scott and Robert Graham from Desiree's season; Graham Bunn from DeAnna's season; Marquel Martin from Andi's season; Michelle Money from Brad's second season.
However, Zap2it just updated their list with a slew of other cast-members that will be added to the group- apparently, this season will have quite the large cast.
Here's the list of new additions.
Cody Sattler from Andi's season; Christy Hansen from Juan Pablo's season; Brooks Forester from Desiree's season; Danielle Ronco from Juan Pablo's season; Jackie Parr from Sean's season; Dylan Petit from Andi's season; Lucy Aragon from Juan Pablo's season; Marcus Grodd from Andi's season; Chris Bukowski from Emily's season; Kalon McMahon from Emily's season; Zack Kalter from Desiree's season; and Tasos Hernandez from Andi's season.
TV Guide asked host Chris Harrison which cast member might cause the most drama- here's his response: "Michelle K. surprised me the most. People might not remember who she is, but you will in an unbelievable way."
We'll just have to wait and see what Michelle K. does that warrants such surprise from Harrison, but hopefully it's something extreme. Promos for the show have hinted at a potential violent altercation that prompted the producers to call the police. This may well be the surprise that Michelle K. has in store for us.
