BIP viewers will see a new/familiar face on the upcoming season Hannah Brown joins Season 10. But the show already has a bartender/therapist in Wells Adams. So what will the former Bachelorette be doing? She reveals how her role will differ from what Wells is known for.
Big Changes For BIP Season 10
ABC yanked Bachelor In Paradise off the fall 2024 TV schedule and aired a Golden Bachelorette season with Joan Vassos instead. Fans were worried that beachy spinoff was canceled due to low ratings. However, the network revealed last summer that the show would return in a big way in 2025.
News has slowly started to come out and shape the milestone tenth season of BIP. Several cast members have already been revealed. Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette eliminated contestants Jonathon Johnson and Hakeem Moulton were invited to join BIP at the Men Tell All special during her season. Jesse Palmer also invited Zoe McGrady from Season 29 of The Bachelor.
In an unexpected twist, he also revealed that the senior contestants from The Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette will be on BIP this summer. So far, only Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston are the confirmed senior contestants.
At a recent event with Hulu, ABC revealed that former Bachelorette Hannah Brown is joining BIP host Jesse Palmer and bartender Wells Adams on Season 10. They also revealed the name of the next Golden Bachelor.
Wells Adams revealed on social media this weekend that filming for Season 10 has begun.
Hannah Brown Reveals How Her Role Differs From Wells’
Wells Adams replaced Jorge Moreno as bartender on Bachelor In Paradise for Season 4. He’s been a constant source of alcohol and advice for the contestants. His role will continue for the new season the same as always. However, Hannah Brown will also serve drinks and advice, so how are the roles different?
Hannah Brown gave an interview to Us Weekly about the unexpected new role. “People need help setting up a magical moment with the person that they’re falling in love with? I’m your girl,” she said.
The Bachelorette star added, “If you need some advice on how to express your interest in someone, come to me.”
Bachelor Nation Fans Still Confused
The beach spinoff already has a bartender. Why do they need another? That’s what fans are wondering after the surprising addition of Hannah Brown to Bachelor In Paradise.
Bachelor Nation fans took to social media to roast Hannah’s interview with Us Weekly. One fan said that it didn’t sound like Hannah even knew what she’d be doing on the beach. They weren’t the only one who thought that. Check out some of the other comments.
- “She’s there for the name recognition to lure in viewers. Call it what it is”
- “I don’t have high hopes for this. Hannah is only entertaining when she’s at the center of drama, not narrating it or giving advice.”
- “I think Hannah will the soup/medicine/vaporub provider for the golden side while Wells will keep bartending for the young side.”
- “She has no idea what’s she’s doing and ugh why is she even there. Wells is already annoying as is lol”
But one fan came through with a clearer look at Hannah Brown’s BIP role. “On Wells’ podcast he said she’ll be handing out champagne at rose ceremonies,” they said.
Season 10 of Bachelor In Paradise premieres on Monday, July 7. Are you excited to see Hannah Brown on the spinoff?
