Even though ‘Paradise’ is months away, potential cast member James Taylor is letting his interest in Raven Gates be known.

Out of the two, only Raven has been confirmed as a cast member for this summer’s stint in paradise, but James seems like he wants to go too. Two southerners together could either be the most most romantic, or the most disastrous.

During the finale of The Bachelor when Nick broke up with Raven, James was quick to Tweet about their potential chemistry in Mexico.

This seems a little premature, but clearly James had his eye on the southern belle for a lot of the season. Since the tweet, there have been a lot of people who are already shipping Raven and James together.

Fans want to see this matchup and what kind of potential it really has.

The only detail that seems to be missing now, is James actually confirming that he’s going on the show. A lot of people are already assuming that he is going to be on the show, but nothing is set in stone yet. He could have agreed already, but no announcements from him or the network have revealed anything.

Now we just need the announcement, and everyone will be rooting for the pair even more. Hopefully this is something that will happen, and not just a viewers fantasy.

If James didn’t want to cause a fuss he shouldn’t have Tweeted about Raven in the first place.
