A model and a chicken walk onto a beach...
Bachelor in Paradise's season five cast has officially been announced, and, to the surprise of no one, recent two-on-one casualties Jordan and David are among the contestants looking for a second chance at love on ABC's hit spinoff.
Premiering Tuesday. Aug. 5, BIP will feature mostly suitors from Becca Kufrin's current season of The Bachelorette, including fan-favorite Joe, who was criminally eliminated on night one. #JusticeForJoe is real, y'all. As for the ladies, expect to see a lot of familiar faces from Arie Luyendyk Jr. 's season, like Kendall and Tia, as well as some women from Nick Viall's season.
Returning as our resident bartender/voice of reason is Wells Adams, who will be assisted by The Bachelor Winter Games standout Yuki Kimura, who initially appeared on The Bachelor Japan. And she's not the only international contestant fans will be seasoning on the beach in Mexico this season.
