Bachelor In Paradise - General Discussion - *Spoilers*

Where did you read that description, Atem? 

This is the official one from abcmediatnet.com:

From the creator of "The Bachelor" franchise comes the new summer series, "Bachelor in Paradise." Some of "The Bachelor's" biggest stars and villains are back. They all left "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette" with broken hearts, but now they know what it really takes to find love, and on "Bachelor in Paradise" they'll get a second chance to find their soul mates. Contestants will live together in an isolated romantic paradise and, over the course of six episodes, we'll follow these former bachelors and bachelorettes as they explore new romantic relationships. America will watch as they fall in love or go through renewed heartbreak. The romantic dating series will feature new twists, shocking surprises, unexpected guests and some of the most unlikely relationships in "Bachelor" history, plus all the usual romance, drama and tears we've come to expect from the "Bachelor" franchise. It all comes together in the romantic television event of the summer.
Hosted by Chris Harrison, "Bachelor in Paradise" is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton are executive producers.

I got the description that mentions, 'surprises, etc.' that indicate to me the people on the show faking drama. chloep says there is money, so how is it any different from BP,if money is involved?  There has to be a reason why Temptation Island/Paradise Hotel keep popping up as descriptions.

Here it is

The above tells me that the 'unexpected guests' will be current gf and bf that pop on in for the fake drama.  Haven't we learned that from Desiree's season with the gf confronting one of the guys (yeah, I forgot their names already)?

The 'unlikely relationships' are the pretend hook-ups to get everyone all lathered up over nothing but a showmance.

All I get from Courtney is a way to sell a book that many could care less about & if the price is right obviously has no problem being the 'villian'.

Doesn't matter if Courtney Robertson’s is or isn't "friend" material, is or isn't dating anyone, is or isn't a fame whore for the single only reason she's returning and participating on BIP is that the girl has a book to promote.

The June 24, 2014 release date timing is so perfect that it almost feels as if Fleiss and ABC are bringing back a group of Bachelor "has beens" to help Courtney sell books.

Heh. Maybe Mike Fleiss has gotten into publishing as a way to squeeze more money out of his franchise.

Tiggerlgh, has info from Kelly from JPG's season that you aren't eligible for BiP if you are dating someone, but who knows, there are no real rules in Bachelor land, except you must talk about your feelings or else!

Convenient breakups right before shooting have happened before on the regular show so you never know.    I guess we won't hear any definite lineups until Andi's season is over but the rumors will ramp up soon enough.

Then why would Courtney bother to be in talks?

Maybe it suits her to leave it as a question with her book coming out. I'm sure they did ask her so she's not lying.

Oh my God this is gonna be soooooo good especially w/ Courtney Robertson! I hope that Jef Holm will also be on and Arie. Courtney dated Arie so that should be interesting. This will be better than the Pad....I hate the part where they are competing for $. Its all about the HOOKUPS!!!

Recall some famous Bachelor Pad hook-ups: Kiptyn and Tenley, Gia Allemand and Wes Hayden, Blakeley Shea and Tony Pieper, Michael Stagliano and Rachel Truehart, Chris Bukowski and Jamie Otis, Ed Swiderski and Jaclyn Swartz .

ABC says this: “The romantic dating series will feature new twists, shocking surprises, unexpected guests and some of the most unlikely relationships in Bachelor history, plus all the usual romance, drama and tears we’ve come to expect from the Bachelor franchise. It all comes together in the romantic television event of the summer.”

Its gonna be a situation!!!

Looks like this is the cast thus far plus Jef Holm r favorite teen dreamboat. http://okhereisthesituation.com/2014/03/bachelor-pad-coming-back-summer-2014/

Yes, I think the article was already posted here. It sort of relies too much on RS to me though.
