After two long years, it's finally time to go back to Paradise. The beach may be different, the hosts may be new, but if the Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 cast is any indication, the drama will be just as juicy as ever.
BiP announced the first 19 cast members of the season on Thursday, July 8 — 13 women and only 6 men. Remember, this is a show with a revolving door of contestants, which means that there will be plenty more Bach alums walking onto the beach once the season actually premieres Aug. 16. But, who knows, maybe one of the finale couples is already here, in this original crop?
The last season of BiP ended with three engagements — Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty, Dylan Barbour and Hannah Godwin, and Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton — only one of which is still going strong. But maybe these singles will have better luck. In fact, I can already see a few potential couples within the BiP 2021 cast. Let's do a quick rundown.
Joe Amabile
Bach History: Grocery Store Joe made a splash in just one episode of Becca Kufrin's Bachelorette season in 2018. He was so beloved by Bach Nation that he got invited on Bachelor in Paradise, and he ended that show in a relationship with Kendall Long. The two dated for a year before calling it quits in January of 2020. Joe is also a Bach Nation staple — he co-hosts the official Bachelor Nation podcast Click Bait with Tayshia Adams and Natasha Parker.
