ByGiovanna Mengarelli|
BACHELOR IN PARADISE - "701" - It's time to return to Bachelor Nation's favorite beach as a new batch of sexy singles make their way to paradise in hopes for a second - or third - chance at love. With the resort officially open, former fan-favorite bachelors and bachelorettes are ready to find their match while living together in a tropical oasis in Mexico. Twenty-three hopefuls kick off their journeys on day one, but will additional arrivals get in the way of their search for love?

It’s official! In case you didn’t already know, the fan summer favorite, Bachelor in Paradise will be returning to our TV screens again! It’s hard to believe that the show’s franchise is already on the 8th season, am I right?! I personally cannot wait to see some of my favorite contestants mesh with others from previous and different seasons.

Who will find love? Who will cry the most? Will any relationships end in an engagement? Who is the official host of Paradise this year?

All of these questions and more will be answered below, so be sure and stay tuned!

Who is the official host of Bachelor in Paradise this season?

In May, The Bachelor franchise officially named Jesse Palmer as the host of Bachelor in Paradise! Maybe this means that he is set to host all sorts of seasons and shows in the future of the whole entire franchise as a whole to come.

Personally, I absolutely love the move! What are your guys’ thoughts?

Which fan-favorite contestants will be on the show this season?

Let’s start with the worst of them all…just based on how we know the show goes, I think that it’s pretty safe to assume that at some point in the season, Shanae Ankney will waltz her way right on in there.

I have a feeling that they will wait to send her in until some serious relationships have already formed because lets be honest: she’s great at ruining just about anything and everything that she comes across, right or what?!

Here are some other safe assumptions from Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor:

  • Teddi Wright (yay)
  • Mara Agrait (nay)
  • Serene Russell (meh)
  • Sarah Hamrick (nay)

I still believe that a few of these fellas will make their way in from Michelle Young’s season of The Bachelorette:

  • Rodney Mathews (yay)
  • Peter Izzo (nay)
  • Jamie Skaar (nay)
  • Joe Coleman (meh)
  • Brandon Jones (yay) – already has posted on Instagram that a ‘vacation with the homies’ sounds fun…hmm…

Now, of course, there is always that chance that some complete and utter curveballs are thrown all of our ways, because duh, that’s just what Paradise is all about!
