Which Guys From Katie Thurstons Season Are on Bachelor in Paradise?
The seventh season of Bachelor in Paradise will include familiar faces from multiple seasons of ABCs rose-filled dating franchise, so its no surprise that at least five of current Bachelorette star Katie Thurstons rejected suitors will pop up on the rotating cast for the summertime spinoff. Bachelor spoiler king Reality Steve Carbone recently revealed on his RealitySteve.com website a list of cast spoilers including early intel that fan-favorite Grocery Store Joe Amabile and his ex, Kendall Long, will be in Paradise, which is typically filmed at a resort in Mexico. And former Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin will be the first franchise lead to ever try again for love at the Mexican resort. More recent Bachelor Nation cast members teased by Reality Steve include both Serena Pitt and Serena Chew from Matt James Bachelor season, and Ivan Hall, Chasen Nick, and Dr. Joe Park from Clare Crawley/Tayshia Adams dual season. Cat Guy Connor Brennan Was Confirmed to Be Filming Bachelor in Paradise  From Thurstons season, some of her most controversial castoffs will look for love for a second time on Bachelor in Paradise, including cat guy Connor Brennan. The Season 17 suitor famously showed up in a cat suit on Thurstons premiere, complete with furry faux paws, as a way to charm the cat-loving Bachelorette star. He even scored a premiere night kiss, but it didnt turn out to be the cats meow from Thurston, who preferred a whisker-free smooch instead. In an interview with Us Weekly, Thurston praised Brennan for doing his research on her ahead of their first meeting and she noted his great sense of humor, which could make him a perfect candidate for Paradise.  He has these ridiculous jokes that made me laugh, Thurston said. Hes handsome. And honestly, he was the first name I remembered by heart.  Hes just a great guy.  On his blog, Reality Steve noted that while the suitors from the current Bachelorette season are not usually revealed until they are eliminated, he did get an early confirmation that Brennan headed to Paradise.  Connor Brennan is going to be on Paradise and is down there now, Reality Steve wrote in early June 2021. The blogger noted that someone else appears to be running Brennans social media accounts while he is filming and he was most likely a part of the original cast of suitors on Paradise.
