According to ABC, Bachelor in Paradise fans will see host Chris Harrison greet the following contestants as the arrive on the season premiere — Nick Viall, Amanda Stanton, Sarah Herron, twins Haley and Emily Ferguson, Lace Morris, Jubilee Sharpe, Izzy Goodkind, Carly Waddell, Jared Haibon, Evan Bass, Grant Kemp, Daniel Maguire, Vinny Ventiera, and Chad Johnson. Leah Block (Ben Higgins’ season) will arrive later in the episode.

Arriving in Paradise throughout the season are Caila Quinn, Lauren Himle, Tiara Soleim, Shushanna Mkrtychyan, Jami Letain, Sarah Herron, Jen Saviano, Ashley Iaconetti, Josh Murray, Christian Bishop, Wells Adams, Ryan Beckett, Brandon Andreen, Carl King, and Brett Melnick.

According to Reality Steve, the ladies will ask the guys on dates on Episode 1 and the men will hand out the roses. Three ladies will leave at the first rose ceremony and three guys will arrive the following week.

Week 1 Dates:

  • Leah Block and Nick Viall
  • Jubilee Sharpe and Jared Haibon
  • Amanda Stanton and Nick Viall

That’s right, Nick gets not one, but two dates on the premiere, something that should have the other guys grumbling. However, his plans to get to know Amanda better will be squashed when his Bachelorette Season 10 (Andi Dorfman) rival, Josh Murray, arrives in Paradise on an upcoming episode.

Fans will see several couples start to form on the Bachelor in Paradise premiere, but many of them will split and move on to other contestants as more guys and girls arrive each week.

According to Hollywood Life, Evan Bass and Jubilee Sharpe will connect during the premiere, but fans will see that fizzle out quickly. Spoilers indicate that Evan won’t leave Paradise single, so expect to see him stick around right ’til the season finale.

Chad Johnson, the villain from JoJo’s season of the Bachelorette, will initially make a play for Lace Morris (Ben’s season), but their relationship won’t go far. According to a previous report from the Inquisitr, Chad spirals out of control (surprise!) and Chris Harrison sends him home after just one day in Paradise.

There are several other contestants who will couple-up on the Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 premiere — some of them will last, others will fizzle out quickly. Keep an eye on Vinny and Izzy, Daniel and Sarah, and Lace and Grant.

Who goes home at the first rose ceremony? According to Reality Steve, two women will leave without a rose — Jubilee Sharpe and Leah Block. Chad leaves earlier in the show because, well, “Hurricane Chad” doesn’t play well with others.

The drama, hookups, and budding romances continue the following week with three men arriving in Paradise — Josh Murray, Christian Bishop, and Brandon Andreen (he’s from Des Hartsock’s season if his name doesn’t ring a bell). Two of the three men who arrive in Paradise next week will be eliminated at the Week 2 rose ceremony and here’s a hint — it’s not Josh Murray.
