Season 9 will see the return of many familiar faces, including Rachel Recchia and Blake Moynes. Moynes’ ex-fiance, Katie Thurston, also makes an appearance on the beach. What about Demi Burnett?

Also returning is Bachelorette alum Wells Adams as the beach’s bartender/therapist. He’s been a regular on BIP since Season 3 when he was a contestant. Starting in Season 4, he’s acted as the show’s bartender, serving drinks with a side of advice.

He’s been off the market since 2017, when he started dating Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland. The two got engaged in 2019 but had to postpone the wedding due to the COVID pandemic.

According to Adams, it’s easier for him to spot what’s working for couples on the beach and what are red flags.

He also shared general advice for those returning to BIP for the third or fourth time. The Best In Dough host advised that perhaps those contestants should reconsider what they think they’re looking for.

Wells Adams went on to say that he’s been most surprised by couples he never thought would get together.

He also touted Bachelor In Paradise‘s success rate compared to other shows in the franchise. He mentioned Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt as an example. They recently had a second wedding after initially marrying in a courthouse earlier this year. Wells Adams officiated the pair’s second ceremony.
