Bachelor In Paradise - Season 4 - Potential Contestants - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I'm probably in the minority but I hope they don't bring in other countries contestants. I have no idea who they are no idea there backstory.

IIRC Raven said in a interview that they show will be different this year and Chase said in an article that the show may be bringing in new contestants.

So whether or not they are from other franchises or totally new contestants I could see them bringing in new people to mix things up.

I'm all for it.

I call The Bachelor and The Bachelorette my guilty pleasure, so god knows what this is, but I LOVE IT!!

I am all for it too  It's already such slim pickings imo with the BIP candidates and most have and can meet each other already before then so anything to mix it up I see TPTB doing. Who knows, someone new may just be more interesting or entertaining

Sprite wrote:@Bobette I actually wouldn't mind Courtney and Sam, Keira I could do without. I'm not adverse to the idea since it would shake things up with this complacent group who think they have things all figured out. They might just have to rethink their pairing up strategies in the future because now they would have to think that anyone from any of the international versions just might show up as well. Now if only they could get Lily to show up!!!

I agree @Sprite, Sam in particular would be well suited to this format IMO and I think the ladies would love him. Courtney would most likely come into it trying to prove he's not as uptight as he came across on the AU show which could be fun to watch unless he overcompensates and embarrasses himself. Keira I could happily never see on my screen ever again. Lily IMO would rule the island and drink everyone under the table but I'm not sure the concept of the show could stand up to her truth bombs!

@IrelandRose, I rarely admit to my friends that I watch these shows (let alone belong to a forum!) but I was discussing it with my hairdresser and she said she has a lot of professional, intelligent, successful female clients who LOVE this kind of trashy TV because it's such a contrast to the pressures and responsibilities of their everyday life.  

Sounds like a good excuse to me.

I read this news story from around the same time which seemed like it was foreshadowing something.  I wouldn't be surprised if Sam goes on the show but still keeps Noni "on the back burner" and this public display between Noni and the IMO equally-attention-seeking Megan was her way of making sure she can get some publicity/sympathy out of his appearance.  JMO

@Bobette I can see Sam doing that (keeping Noni on the backburner). 

Because even if he doesn't go on BIP, no reason to be liking that IG post about him going on to date some other girls unless he just likes the attention (as they all do - which makes it perfect for BIP imo ) 

Apologies for double post... I'd actually like to see Jake on BIP (https://www.instagram.com/jakeellis86).

I think Jake would go over quite well with the women (at least from a romantic perspective) and more so than Sam or Courtney.

Sam would make for good TV - he has no filter and I found him hilarious with his quips and straight up honesty (although not mean spirited).

Courtney on the other hand I think would suffer from not being able to be romantically interested in such a short time frame, but I could see him making lots of friends especially with the girls as he has that friend-vibe about him (he's also very quirky).

Who knows, none of this may happen but it's fun to speculate

I agree Jake would go down well in Paradise @AllAboutLove and also that Sam is made for this format as he doesn't take himself too seriously.  

Also agree that Courtney may "over think" things, and since his design business is doing well he might be concerned about tarnishing his image.  

Another international I could see really fitting in would be Benoit from Canada and if they really want to stir things up, throw Drew in as well.

Does anyone know when BIP starts filming?

Kristina & Danielle L got their hair done yesterday & today.

@cookielover12 RS says they leave this week and is predicting film to start around Saturday.
