I Thought Bachelor In Paradise Season 10's Big Twist Was A Good Idea But I Changed My Mind

   

Bachelor in Paradise is one of the best things on television. While The Bachelor and The Bachelorette focus on the romantic search of one person, Bachelor in Paradise is a fun ensemble show. This season promises to be the wildest yet, with a new twist changing everything. I'm counting down the days until Bachelor in Paradise season 10, but I'm concerned the new twist could hurt the show. It sounded like a great idea at first, but upon further reflection, it could spell doom for my beloved reality show.

Bachelor In Paradise 10's Big Twist Explained

Two Separate Beaches

During The Bachelor season 29 finale, host Jesse Palmer announced Bachelor in Paradise season 10 would include a major twist. In addition to casting former contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, this season will also include contestants from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden BacheloretteThough I loved the idea initially, I've changed my mind and have come to believe that Golden Bachelor In Paradise should be its own show.

The Twist Is Sure To Disappoint

No One Will Be Happy With How Time Is Split Between The Two Beaches

In addition to announcing the big twist, Jesse named the show's first three contestants. Among the younger cohort, the first Bachelor In Paradise season 10 contestant will be The Bachelor's Zoe McGrady, 27, who appeared in season 29. She was one of Grant Ellis' final three, but will get another chance at love this summer. Jesse also announced the first two Golden contestants: Gary Levingston, 65, and Leslie Fhima, 65. Leslie was Gerry Turner's runner-up on The Golden Bachelor, while Gary was one of the single men who dated Joan Vassos on The Golden Bachelorette.
