Bachelor in Paradise season 10 will also feature cast members from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, including week 1 arrivals Alexe Godin, 27; Bailey Brown, 28; Brian Autz, 33; Dale Moss, 36; Hakeem Moulton, 30; Jeremy Simon, 31; Jess Edwards, 26; Jonathon Johnson, 28; Justin Glaze, 30; Kat Izzo, 28; Kyle Howard, 31; Lexi Young, 31; Ricky Marinez, 29; Sam McKinney, 28; Spencer Conley, 32; and Zoe McGrady, 28. I think that there's a lot of potential for love matches within both casts, but I'm worried about Leslie.
Leslie had an instant connection with Gerry when they met on the first night of The Golden Bachelor. She came out of the limousine wearing a costume of an old woman with a gray wig, a housedress, and a walker. Gerry was thrilled when she tossed the walker aside and revealed her actual dress. They then began to dance with each other because Leslie was a professional dancer. I could immediately tell that they were going to be a great match.
Golden Bachelor S1 winner Theresa Nist revealed that Bachelor in Paradise S10 producers rejected her from the show. Here's why that's a good thing.
The worst part about Bachelor in Paradise season 10 is that it takes place in Costa Rica, which is where Gerry broke up with Leslie during The Golden Bachelor season 1 finale. It would be terrible if Leslie went through a breakup there again after how heartbroken she was after Gerry chose Theresa instead of her. I'm worried that this could destroy Leslie's faith in love for good.
In an interview with Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins on the Almost Famous podcast, Leslie admitted that if she was the Golden Bachelorette she would've chosen Jordan, even though she thought that all of the men were great. Leslie admitted that if she were the Golden Bachelorette, she would've chosen Jordan because she thought that they had a lot in common, including their faith.
The Bachelor in Paradise season 10 week 1 contestants have been announced, and there's one person who should never have been cast on the show.
Leslie explained, "Jordan, I feel like we have a lot in common. I know that he's funny; I love funny. He lives in Chicago; I live in Minneapolis. He has a dog; I have a dog. Stuff like that's important. And we're both Jewish, and, at the end of the day, that's important to me as well. I mean, it's not heart-stop, I have to have someone Jewish, but if you meet someone, and they are your faith, that's just the icing on the cake."
Leslie added, "But you do have a common bond when it comes to that. I think he's probably like me where he's not uber-religious, but you are into your faith and more of the heritage thing, and all that stuff. So I don't know. I don't know. We'll see."
It's still unclear if the Golden cast will add more contestants as the weeks past like traditional Bachelor in Paradise does, but, if these are the only cast members, then I fear that Leslie might end up heartbroken and alone. She has such a vibrant and vivacious personality, and she deserves a real and lasting relationship. I'd be so happy for her if Jordan turned up in Costa Rica to sweep her off her feet.
Bachelor In Paradise 10 will feature the usual young contestants, and singles from The Golden Bachelor spin-off. Will there be an age-gap love story?
In addition, although Bachelor in Paradise season 10 host Jesse Palmer and bartender Wells Adams have expressed their hopes that there will be some age-gap romances on the beach, I highly doubt that Leslie, who's a mom of three adult children, and also has three grandchildren, will be interested in such a thing. So far, the oldest male contestant is Dale at 36, and that's still a 30-year age difference. Leslie seems to really want to find her person, so I don't think that she'll waste her time dating someone if there's really no future with him.
After the heartbreak that Leslie went through after Gerry blindsided her, she deserves to have a beautiful love story during Bachelor in Paradise season 10. However, I'm concerned that this won't happen for her unless the pool of contestants widens. While all of the cast members deserve to find love, Leslie's past heartache has me rooting for her especially. I wish Leslie all the best on her new journey to find love on Bachelor in Paradise season 10, and I hope that she finds her fairytale happily-ever-after ending.
