Spoilers for The Bachelor, and potential spoilers for The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. Well, well, well. Nice to see you again. After last season's magical dumpster fire that was Bachelor in Paradise (opens in new tab) 2019 (opens in new tab) (fun fact: only two of the couples are still together, and the alums who got married on the show, Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone, broke up (opens in new tab) eight months later), we're back for the craziest show on television. If Peter Weber's Bachelor season has been any indication, lots of the women would be an absolute lock for this wild show. Full analysis is below, but here's who from Weber's season feels likely to be heading to Paradise:

Kelsey Weier
Victoria Fuller
Kelley Flanagan
Natasha Parker
Mykenna Dorn
Tammy Ly
Sydney Hightower
Alayah Benavidez
Victoria Paul

And some alums I can definitely see being there:

Tia Booth
John Paul Jones
Tayshia Adams
Chris Bukowski
Kristina Schulman
Derek Peth
Bibiana Julian
Wills Reid
Haley Ferguson
Mike Johnson

The Bachelorette pick gives us some clues.

The revelation that the next Bachelorette would not, in fact, be from Peter Weber's season, and would instead be Clare Crawley, a longtime Bachelor franchise alum who has appeared on Paradise (twice!) as well as Winter Games, means that we have a better idea about who's going to be on Paradise. Now everyone from Weber's season, as well as fan favorites aside from Crawley, are fair game for Paradise.

This includes contestants who were in the running for The Bachelorette—specifically, Tayshia Adams, Kelsey Weier, and Tia Booth—as well as those who made it far in Weber's season but weren't considered for the role, per Reality Steve (opens in new tab). Hannah Ann Sluss, who isn't expected to win Weber's season, wasn't considered for Bachelorette either, to everyone's surprise, but she seems like a shoo-in for Paradise. There's also Victoria Fuller, Natasha Parker, and Kelley Flanagan, all of whom got pretty far in Weber's season but weren't in the running for Bachelorette.

Here are some potential Paradise candidates.

A number (read: most) of Weber's women were dramatic, but particularly Mykenna Dorn (opens in new tab) (she of the crazy facial expressions), Sydney Hightower (opens in new tab), Alayah Benavidez (opens in new tab), Victoria Paul (opens in new tab), and Sarah Coffin (opens in new tab) (fans loved her even though she got zero screen time) could be good selections. And then we have the many, many show alums they could draw from—including contestants from last year's nutty season.

So watch this space, because there'll be a lot of developments to come.
