In a promo for the upcoming season, the singles shared a little bit about what they’re looking for inParadise.
Justin chimes in about potential drama inParadise— which is bound to be plentiful if season 8 is anything like seasons past. “When it comes to drama, you can count me out. But, you’re gonna see me sipping my tea in the corner,” he says.
“I really hope Shanae is not on the beach,” Hunter says. Unluckily for her, Shanae’s intro is next: “Guess who’s headed to the beach?!”
Not everyone is thinking about drama — or love — though. “I’m hoping to seeWells [Adams]on the beach, because I heard he has a heavy pour,” Lace jokes.
Genevieve is more concerned about potential roommates — specifically of the non-human kind. “There are a few things I’m not excited about seeing on the beach. Crabs, bugs, snakes,” she says. “Is it too late for me to go home?”
As viewers know,Bachelor in Paradisefeatures a rotating cast throughout the summer. That means, additional, still-unnamedBachelorNation alums will crash the party at some point for a chance to find love. As couples form and rose ceremonies are held, some of the original cast is bound to be booted from the beach, too.
