JoJo Fletcher Heading To ‘Bachelor In Paradise’? Chris Harrison Reveals ‘Dream Cast’ For ‘Paradise’ Season 3
Bachelor in Paradise is back for a third season this summer and host Chris Harrison is already dropping hints about the cast for ABC’s Bachelor spinoff. Who is confirmed for Paradise 3, whom does Chris want to join the show, and will JoJo Fletcher get a second chance at finding love in a tropical setting?
If Reality Steve’s spoilers are correct, Ben Higgins will say goodbye to JoJo on Monday night’s Bachelor finale. Despite the fact that he told her “I love you” right up until the final moments of the show, Steve states that Ben chooses the other girl he loves — Lauren Bushnell — and, three months after taping wrapped up, they are still engaged.

Although fans are hoping that Chris Harrison introduces JoJo as the next Bachelorette on the upcoming After the Final Rose special, the outlook doesn’t look good for the 25-year-old Texas real estate developer.
TMZ reports that Caila Quinn, who was eliminated after her overnight date with Ben, was recently spotted with film crews in her hometown of Hudson, Ohio, and is rumored to be the franchise’s 12th Bachelorette.
After getting her heart broken on the Bachelor and quite possibly losing out to Caila for the Bachelorette gig, will JoJo consider joining the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise?
Us Weekly‘s insider states that when Ben told JoJo that she wasn’t his final pick, she was “understanding” and “wasn’t bitter” about his choice. Now that almost four months have passed, it’s possible she is ready to find love again — and why not in Paradise where she will have more than one guy vying for her attention?

Reality Steve states that he’s not certain what she will do, but he is confident that a number of girls from Ben’s season (and several guys from the Bachelorette 2016) will be cast for the show.
“I’m guessing most guys want to see JoJo on Paradise, but I really have no idea if she has any intention of doing it. We’re still months away.”
As for Chris Harrison, he can’t say anything about JoJo joining Paradise just yet. Despite the spoilers being out in full force this season, he has to let her breakup with Ben play out on the Bachelor finale and the After the Final Rose special.
However, Chris already has several girls from Ben’s season in mind when it comes to casting the third season of Bachelor in Paradise. He confirmed during the Women Tell All that Lace Morris will be joining the cast, and then told reporters that his “dream cast” includes twins Haley Ferguson and Emily Ferguson, Jubilee Sharpe, Amanda Stanton, and Olivia Caridi.
“I think this is a really good dynamic group of women that were kind of strong, independent, smart, funny, and obviously beautiful. So I think we’ve got probably 10 or 15 girls you could pull out this season and bring to Paradise.“
Aside from Ben’s rejected ladies (and possibly JoJo?) and several guys from the upcoming season of the Bachelorette, fans can expect to see a few former Bachelor in Paradise stars return for a third season.
Rumored to be coming back to Paradise this summer are Carly Waddell, Juelia Kinney, Ashley Iaconetti, JJ Lane, and Jared Haibon.
Last year, filming for Bachelor in Paradise started in June followed by the August 2 premiere. Cast spoilers should start leaking out around the time the Bachelorette Season 12 finale airs in May, but confirmation about girls from Ben’s season joining the show may surface sooner.
If the spoilers are correct and JoJo does not get Ben’s final rose on the Bachelor, do you think she should go on Bachelor in Paradise or look for love closer to home?
