Bachelor in Paradise was just renewed for its ninth season a few months ago, and we couldn’t be happier to hear this! In case you didn’t already know, this is a spin-off show of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, where past contestants from past seasons come on to find love again within Bachelor Nation.
Much like the regular versions of the show, the couples don’t always work out. However, some relationships have produced kids, some are married, and some are still engaged and ready to be married! Let’s dive into what we already know about the upcoming ninth season!
Here are all of the spoilers that we know so far about Bachelor in Paradise!
In no particular order, here are all of the spoilers from the show’s 9th season that we know, as well as some other predictions about the season.
MAJOR spoilers ahead!
1. Charity’s contestants (and some haven’t even gone home yet)
One of Charity’s men in Paradise, which may surprise most people, is Aaron B. While he has yet to go home, we don’t know the circumstances of his going home. He makes it pretty far, but I never would’ve expected him to be the Paradise guy.
Four other men from Charity’s season will be making confirmed appearances: Brayden, Tanner, Sean, and John Henry. With that being said, all but Brayden have yet to be eliminated, so if you liked all of these men, don’t worry because you’ll be seeing them again on your TV shortly.
Something super interesting about Charity’s contestants being on the show is that Bachelor in Paradise was filmed way before her season aired, so no one knew what these guys looked like…
2. Former leads may be heading to Mexico
There is one lead in particular that Reality Steve seemingly confirmed to be on the show. In a turn of events that not many would’ve expected, Rachel Recchia is confirmed to be on the show.
And who else will be on the show? Aven and Tyler! That dynamic should be super interesting; I can already sense a love triangle forming!
3. All of Zach’s confirmed contestants
Here’s who we know is 100% confirmed to be on the show from Zach’s season: Katherine Izzo, Jess Girod, Mercedes Northup, Greer Blitzer, Brooklyn Willie, Kylee Russell, and Cat Carter. Other than that, maybe others will trickle in here and there; that’s all we know. Thoughts on these ladies returning?
4. Other Bachelorette guys
Another person from Gabby and Rachel’s season is Nate (the adorable single dad). Although he was in Gabby’s official group of men, maybe this would be his chance to get now to know Rachel instead. Also joining Nate will be Blake Moynes from Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette. Of course, we’ll know more once the cast is closer to being announced.
5. Who won’t be returning
Two past leads who confirmed they would not return are Katie Thurston, Gabby Windey, and Peter Weber. Gabi Elnicki is another contestant who will not be returning, although I’d love to see her get her second shot at love within Bachelor Nation!
6. Cute couple alert
Remember Eliza? The one who broke Rodney’s heart by being unsure of everything, only to run away back to Justin and get rejected? Yeah, so I guess she’s coming back this season. She and Aaron B. fall in love and are among the first and only confirmed Paradise couples thus far.
Apparently, they are still together as they leave the beach together. It’s not confirmed if they’re engaged or not. Eliza’s from Germany and has recently been spotted there, while Aaron B. is from California and has recently been spotted there. What do you think about these two?
*BEWARE! THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST SPOILER! READ WITH CAUTION!*
7. These two get engaged at the end of it all
Remember John Henry, the underwater welder from Charity’s season of The Bachelorette? He and Kat Izzo (from Zach’s season of The Bachelor) hit it off super well and ended up leaving the beach engaged to each other! Another Bachelor in Paradise success story!
While we don’t quite know all of the details yet, we know one thing: we’re super happy for both of them! Congrats!
That’s a wrap on everything Bachelor in Paradise!
What do you make of all of these spoilers? Will Rachel Recchia return to Paradise, or is Reality Steve just living a pipe dream? Let us know in the comments below who else you think will be returning this season! Enjoy, y’all!
