The pandemic robbed us of Paradise last summer, but this year it’s back — and with more hosts than ever! So who’s heading down to Mexico to find “love” among the tiny crabs? Click through to see which Bachelor and Bachelorette cast-offs will be sweating it out in Sayulita when Paradise premieres August 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Connor Brennan

Last seen on: Katie’s season of The Bachelorette
Wait, who is he again? He showed up dressed like a cat, and even though Katie loved it, this math teacher from Nashville could not get out of the friend zone. Though I hoped never to see that stupid ukulele again, I’m sure Connor will bring it with him to Paradise.

Aaron Clancy

Last seen on: Katie’s season of The Bachelorette
Wait, who is he again? The guy with never-ending grievances. First he warned Katie about Cody, then he compared Thomas to “a clown in a freaking Stephen King novel,” and then he got all fired up about Hunter being “fake.”

Tre Cooper

Last seen on: Katie’s season of The Bachelorette
Wait, who is he again? The funny, sweet software engineer from Georgia who got his butt waxed on national TV — all in the name of love.

James Bonsall

Last seen on: Katie’s season of The Bachelorette
Wait, who is he again? James showed up in a giant gift box. Beyond that, he’s best known for using a truly astounding amount of hair product.

Ivan Hall

Last seen on: Clare and Tayshia’s season of The Bachelorette
Wait, who is he again? The adorable, agnostic aeronautical engineer who fell for Tayshia. Ultimately, their differences over religion put an end to their relationship.

Wait, who is she again? She got into it with hairdresser MJ over “bullying” in the house.

Abigail Heringer

Last seen on: Matt’s season of The Bachelor

Kenny Braasch

Last seen on: Clare and Tayshia’s season of The Bachelorette
Wait, who is he again? The tattooed boy band manager! Paradise seems like a better fit for him than Bachelorette, tbh.

Victoria Larson

Last seen on: Matt’s season of The Bachelor
Wait, who is she again? Gah, we all knew this was coming, didn’t we? She calls herself “Queen Victoria” and has a really hard time choosing the right bra for her dress. Lit-ter-ally, I was hoping we’d never see her again. Sigh.

Wait, who is she again? She (rightfully) called Peter out at a group date party for spending all his time with returning contestant Alayah.

Wait, who is she again? The very GIF-able event planner who finally got a one-on-one with Peter in episode 7… only to be sent home.
