Bachelor in paradise cast announced

If at first you don't succeed at finding love on reality TV, try, try again! Bachelor in Paradise is coming back for a second season this summer, bringing together some of your favorite (and least favorite) former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants for another shot at happily ever after.

ABC revealed the cast list on Wednesday, June 10, nearly two full months ahead of the two-night premiere on Aug. 2 and 3. They've left a few spots open for some of the rejected suitors from current Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe's season, but avid Bachelor Nation fans will recognize most of the other names on the roster.

Ashley Salter, for example, made quite an impression while on Chris Soules' season of The Bachelor earlier this year. Nicknamed the "onion girl," the Georgia-based hairstylist became known for her bizarre behavior on group dates. As Bristowe once said, "Ashley S. is entertaining, but like possessed, crazy, and totally out of it at the same time."

Season 18 Bachelor alum Clare Crawley is also headed back to the island after previously stirring up drama on the first season of Bachelor in Paradise. Crawley first rose to fame in Bachelor Nation as the runner-up on Juan Pablo Galavis' season, during which he infamously told her, "I love f--ing you, but I don't know you."

So it looks to me like all of the "older" female cast mates have moved on to other things in their lives and its really only the "newer" seasons girls (mainly season 18 & 19). But the guys just haven't done anything with their lives but continue to live off the Bachelor franchise. I mean...guys from season 8 & 9???? Are you kidding me? That was like 10 years ago. Move on and grow up.
