Bachelor In Paradise 6 - Episode 12

The sixth season of Bachelor in Paradise premiered on August 5, 2019. Chris Harrison reprises his role from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as the host of the show

On June 17, 2019, Tayshia Adams, Cam Ayala, Demi Burnett, Clay Harbor, Blake Horstman, John Paul Jones, and Bibiana Julian were revealed as the first seven contestants of Bachelor in Paradise on Good Morning America. Later that day during the premiere of Grand Hotel, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown revealed the rest of the original cast.

On July 2, 2019, Wells Adams was confirmed to be returning as the bartender.

In the episode aired on August 20, 2019, Kristian Haggerty joined the cast, becoming the first Bachelor in Paradise contestant to not have appeared on either The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. Haggerty was in a relationship with Burnett prior to filming, and was brought onto the show after Burnett expressed her confusion regarding her having feelings for both Haggerty and contestant Derek Peth. To accommodate for Haggerty appearing on the show with Burnett, Burnett became allowed to give out a rose at every rose ceremony, regardless of whether it was the boys' week or girls' week, as they were the first same-sex relationship to be featured on the American version of the franchise
