The much-anticipated "Bachelor in Paradise" season premiere is just two months away. Many fans are wondering which guys from Rachel Lindsay's season of the "Bachelorette" are on the cast list. In addition to some of the girl from Nick and Ben's season, and guys from JoJo's season, several of Rachel's rejected suitors will back on TV in hopes of finding the girl of their dreams. Or, at the very least, a date and a free vacation.
And then there's Amanda Stanton. According to Reality Steve, Josh Murray's ex will give love another shot this summer, making it her third appearance on a "Bachelor" franchise show.
Reality Steve has revealed that filming for the show will begin the first weekend in June, so that means producers have already selected the contestants and cameras are about to start rolling. The season premiere will air on Tuesday, August 8 at 8 p.m. ET, one night after "The Bachelorette" season finale and the live "After the Final Rose" special airs on ABC.
Spoiler alert
Before we post the list of contestants that Reality Steve has leaked out, we'll warn you that there are some spoilers ahead.
"The Bachelorette" star Rachel Lindsay has not eliminated all of the guys who will be showing up in Paradise yet, so consider this a spoiler alert. Rachel's season was filmed from March through May, so the guys have all been home for awhile and are now ready to pack their bags and head off on a little "Paradise" vacation.
Paradise cast rumors debunked

She's creates drama and that's what producers want.
A few other contestants have made it clear that they will (or want to) be heading to "Paradise" this summer.
