Break out the antibacterial had sanitizer. More than half of the Bachelor in Paradise season 2 cast has been announced and it looks like Fleiss will showcase a collective group of bathing suit clad pot stirrers this August. Most of them you probably remember. Others you won’t. In some cases, I dug deep into the IHGB archives to research obscure names—I’m looking at you, Dan. Fortunately I’ve created a roster to help jog your memory.

ROLL CALL!

Name: Ashley S.
Alias: Melrose, The Onion, The Crazy One, Mesa Verde
Season: The Farmer
Memory Lane:

Melrose: What are you?
[The Farmer gives a blank stare, as we all would.
]
Melrose: Do you feel that?
Lincee: THIS IS IT! SHE STUCK A SHIV IN HIS SIDE! HE’S BEEN SHANKED!

It wasn’t a shiv. It was definitely something imaginary or something from her mind that she was trying to pass along to him through telepathy. Nevertheless, #5 Melrose leans in for a kiss while The Farmer is in mid-sentence, #7 Melrose tells him she is in love with everything about him, and that she hopes that resonates in his mind. Then #11 Melrose commands him not to say anything.

Name: Jade
Alias: Playboy Jade, Cinderella-Date-Stealing Jade, Hold My Laptop Jade
Season: The Farmer
Memory Lane:

Jade walks through her tiny Nebraska town, pointing out all the ways it’s better than Arlington. “There’s a car. And a person. That door opens. And this place has food.” They make their way to her childhood home to meet the family. The tension is palpable through my TV screen. Through cryptic messaging, both Jade’s father and brother hint that there’s more rebel to Jade that meets the eye. The brother goes one step further to remind The Farmer that Jade left this tiny town a long time ago for the big city. He’s not sure this “wild mustang” wants to be led back to the farm.

Name: Clare
Alias: Ocean Clare, Raccoon Clare, Bachelor in Paradise Round Two Clare
Season: Juan Pablo
Memory Lane:

The girls all settle in a holding area to talk about their feelings. No one seems to notice that Clare sneaks off to Juan Pablo’s front door. She knocks and in her best baby voice, tells him that there’s one more “first time” thing she would like to do, and that’s swim in the ocean.

Since the hair stylist is from CALIFORNIA, I call BS on this statement. Perhaps she meant international oceans or scary oceans, but there’s no way this chick has never swam in an ocean.

She barely gets the question out when Juan Pablo turns to get on his bathing suit. They frolic in the waves while making out and praying against jellyfish and sharks who prey on Venezuelan hotties and blonds with an appetite of a fourth grader.

Name: Tenley
Alias: Twinkletoes, Kiptyn’s Other Half, From Bachelor Pad to Bachelor in Paradise
Season: Jake Pavelka
Memory Lane:

Next up is Jake Pavelka. He scours at Harrison for not returning his phone calls and then plasters on his douchiest smile. He waves at no one in particular and gives a solid head nod to Tenley, who whispers, “Oh crap!” under her breath. The woodland creatures who help her get dressed in the morning gasp when Tenley uses the naughty word and somewhere, a fairy dropped dead. Through wide eyes that boasted serious false eyelashes and a fake smile that featured bold red lipstick, she is quick to remind us that this is super awkward because Jake was her last technical boyfriend.

Name: Carly
Alias: The “I Hate Britt” Fan Club President, Sexual Awakening School Drop-Out
Season: The Farmer
Memory Lane:

I was concerned, however, when the guru asked Carly to perform downward facing dog and then instructed The Farmer to basically mount her from behind. Remember how the she “sensed their nervousness” when she asked them to discard their shirts? That’s because THEY WERE STRAIGHT UP WEIRDED OUT. Thank you, oh wise guru, for listening to Carly when she admitted that this was uncomfortable. She was just about to implore, “Stop. Don’t touch me there. This is my no-no square.” Since the inauguration of this franchise, I’ve never shouted the word PINEAPPLE (the IHGB safe word) at my television so many times in one night.

Name: Jillian
Alias: Black Modesty Box Jillian, She-Ra
Season: The Farmer
Memory Lane:

Apparently Jillian wasn’t ready to meet said party animals, so she hit the makeshift gym to work out her massive arms and legs. Fortunately the gracious black modesty boxes were back once again to shield our eyes from her bare butt cheeks. It would seem that child-size shorts do not cover as much real estate in the adult buns region as one may anticipate. That doesn’t stop Jillian from feeling the burn. She showers and changes into one of many statement necklaces that compliments her “stay classy” tee beautifully. Much like a black fly in your chardonnay and raaaaaeeeeeaaaain on your wedding day, the tank was a bit ironic, don’t you think?

Name: Ashley I.
Alias: Ashley I-Lashes, Ashely the Virgin, Princess Ashley (PS: no one calls her that)
Season: The Farmer
Memory Lane:

Ash: I always dress like a princess. Let me go get my other hair extensions so I can fix my hair like Jasmine. If I’m looking for a homeless, dark skinned thief, I rock a midriff. If I’m in the mood for more of an aggressive monster-type, I have this Belle costume I scored in the naughty section of Party City last October. People tell me I am a Disney princess. That comes up ALL the time.

Name: Juelia
Alias: Headband Juelia (She’s also a widower/single mom.)
Season: The Farmer
Memory Lane:

Juelia
30
Esthetician
Portland
Why you remember her:
You mentally high-five Juelia for having to go through life with a freakishly spelled name, then you lean over and ask your friend to remind you what exactly an esthetician does for a living. Then you Google to make sure you’re spelling esthetician correctly.

Name: Dan
Alias: [crickets chirping]
Season: Desiree
Memory Lane: This is all I’ve got!

And Dan didn’t even break character as his pants split while mounting the horse.

Name: Mikey
Alias: Mikey T., Mikey the Knife
Season: Desiree
Memory Lane:

Mikey T: “In order to hammer your point home, sometimes it has to get physical.”

Slow chant with me, won’t you? FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

Mikey T. and the Federal Prosecutor take Ben around back to teach him a lesson, but instead of using their fists, they use vicious rhetoric. #wahwah

Look, I understand that Ben is the resident villain. He “isn’t here for the right reasons” and likes to stir up trouble by swooping. I get that. The fact that he swooped when he already had a safety rose floored both the Prosecutor and Mikey the Knife, which is weird because this is Season 20 and have they never seen this show before because THIS IS HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME FELLAS. Both tried to be mature about it by talking about Ben behind his back, throwing him under the bus and then airing things out in private while the other “family” guy guarded the door. I wanted someone to write about it in the Burn Book but that never happened. Neither did fetch.

Name: Kirk
Alias: Live Strong, Mold Kirk
Season: Ali
Memory Lane:

Kirk’s dad asks if she would like to see the basement. It is at this point that Kirk should have intervened. But no. Kirk wishes her luck and the camera follows Ali to an unmarked door.

Just as we try to think of other words that convey the creepiness of the entire exchange, Ali begins OMGing. She is down in the carcass basement living Bambi’s worst nightmare.

Four current season contestants will be joining the Bachelor in Paradise season 2 cast. We don’t know if they are legitimate eliminations, or those who choose to take a walk from Kaitlyn’s season. Time will tell. There’s also another mystery woman who will be joining the cast. A few weeks ago, I would have put my money on Britt. But now that she’s buying gently-used leggings at thrift stores with Brady, that’s probably out of the question. Part of me wants it to be Krazy Kelsey from Austin. And the other part of me wants it to be Michelle Money, because an all-star show just isn’t an all-star show without the Money.

Who do you think it will be? Do you have any guesses for the guys? Sound off in the comments section!
