Bachelor in Paradise: Which Former Contestant Did Graham Bunn Join the Cast to Meet?

So now that The Bachelorette's whole happy ending thing has been signed, sealed and delivered, it's time to delve into the chaotic and drama-filled world of Bachelor in Paradise, which features eight female and six male former contestants frolicking in Mexico for a second chance at finding love. It's going to be all sorts of amazing with a mixture of bold personalities (think Michelle Money from Brad Womack's season) to former wallflowers (shy Christy who vied for Juan Pablo's attention) and it premieres on Monday, August 4.

Graham Bunn: This was different for me because I was fortunate enough to do two shows before (The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad). The first time you do any show, I can only speak for myself, but you’re very skeptical of the process. You have no idea what you’re stepping into so that’s a difficult thing. I found out pretty quickly that the process can work if you’re open to it, if you allow yourself to get past the uniqueness of the whole thing. So this time when they approached me I was very intimate about, “Okay, are there going to be girls there you feel I would mesh with.” The two producers that I have a great relationship with felt very confident it would be a good thing for me. And it worked out where I could take time away and go so I went into it this time actively looking to meet one particular person and hoping it would work out. So, yes, my mindset was totally different for this show and I enjoyed it way more being super open to finding love and being a little bit vulnerable.

OK!: Was there anyone specific you were really hoping would be in Mexico when you arrived?

GB: I was really hoping AshLee Frazier was going to be there. She had dated a friend of mine and he had wonderful things to say about her. I had never met her before. I thought she was gorgeous and incredibly beautiful. I’m a sucker for a beautiful smile and she’s got a crazy cool smile. I was going into it hoping she’d be there.
