The lineup of celebrity co-hosts of Bachelor In Paradise season 7 was announced long ago, but they have now been officially confirmed with new promotional pictures from the show. ABC added the rotation of different hosts shortly after it was announced that Chris Harrison was stepping aside from The Bachelor franchise. He made this decision after he was called out by Bachelor Nation for defending Rachael Kirconnell’s racially insensitive past while being interviewed by former The Bachelorette lead Rachel Lindsay.
Most viewers had assumed the former The Bachelor host was taking a temporary break. In the end, however, Chris Harrison chose to completely exit the franchise after negotiations with the network and the producers took place. While his departure left certain Bachelor fans shocked, they are excited to see the new rotation of hosts who will be appearing on the beaches of Mexico alongside the Bachelor In Paradise season 7 cast.
As seen below, the official Instagram page for Bachelor In Paradise shared cast photos of the four celebrity guests who will be co-hosting the season and helping the contestants find love in Mexico. The stars, David Spade, Lance Bass, Lil Jon, and Tituss Burgess, were photographed on the show’s set on the beach. “Ya buoy! [sparkle emoji] Welcome our amazing guest hosts to #BachelorInParadise! [island and rose emoji],” the IG profile wrote in the caption. The only “co-host” missing from the carousel of snaps was Wells Adams, who will perform as the show’s bartender but will also serve as master of the rose ceremonies. It seems that Wells noticed his absence from the post, as he wrote in the comments section, “Did you guys lose my picture?” along with a crying emoji at the end.
However, Wells Adams did share a photo next to David Spade behind the bar at the infamous resort. Wells wrote in the caption, “Nature is healing,” while also plugging the Bachelor In Paradise season 7 premiere. Former NSYNC singer Lance Bass also shared the photos to his Instagram, excited to begin this journey on BIP. He wrote in his caption, “Check out my new band!! The Paradise Boys. Album out this fall. We also happen to be hosting the new season of @bachelorinparadise.” As for the contestants actually competing for love on Paradise, the main cast has already been confirmed. Connor Brennan and Aaron Clancy from Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette will be in Mexico looking for love. The season will also feature several former contestants from the Tayshia Adams/Clare Crawley season, as well as women from Matt James’ and Peter Weber’s respective seasons of The Bachelor.
Bachelor In Paradise season 7 premieres on August 16, which is less than a month as of this writing. Not only are viewers excited to see what the show will be like with a rotation of celebrity co-hosts, but they also want to watch a new season with fan-favorite contestants as they try to find love. With rumors of several engagements, season 7 may just be the most dramatic cycle ever.
