Dale Moss returned to Bachelor Nation for another shot at love — but will history end up repeating itself?
During the July 7 premiere of Bachelor in Paradise, Dale, 36, went on a date with Kat Izzo and based on the teaser for the season, the twosome’s relationship will continue to develop. While Kat, 29, previously appeared on season 27 of The Bachelor and got engaged to John Henry on season 9 of BiP, fans saw Dale for a handful of episodes on season 16 of The Bachelorette, during which he got engaged to Clare Crawley less than two weeks into production.
With both Clare (who appeared on five different Bachelor shows) and Kat being known for the dramatics, Paradise bartender Wells Adams thinks Dale could be in trouble.
“You’re surprised that the hottest person on the beach found the other hottest person on the beach and decided to make out together? No one has ever seen this happen! Listen, I’m happy for Dale,” Wells, 41, recently told Us Weekly in an exclusive interview. “I think he deserves a really good shot at this. His initial, like, foyer into The Bachelor world was weird. It was much different than anybody, anybody else’s. Now what’s funny is that Clare was … fun and Kat’s fun. So he might have a little bit of a type.”
Dale Moss may have surprised Us with his decision to go on Bachelor in Paradise, but the Bachelorette alum insists he is ready for a second shot at love on TV. “I wanted to give up control and just see what was out there,” Dale, 36, told Us Weekly during an exclusive interview on set […]
When Us pointed out that fans see in the trailer that Kat has a “bit of a meltdown,” Wells replied, “And how many meltdowns do we see Clare have? This is now happening where I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, this is a pattern.'” (Never forget Clare and that raccoon!)
Hannah Brown, who joined the season in a “Paradise Relations” role, also acknowledged Kat brought some dramatics to Costa Rica.
“Kat is a very different version of Kat from last season, but that does not mean that there will not be quite a few tears. She didn’t change that much — [but] she’s grown,” Hannah, 30, told Us. “I know for Kat, she’s a little apprehensive about doing this whole experience again and so I just loved talking to her to be able to, like, put herself out there. And equally with Dale. He has a very unique experience unlike anyone else in this franchise. It was shocking, but a pleasant surprise to see him hit the beach.”
