‘BIP’ Season 10 Contestants Spotted On Date After Show
Bachelor Nation shows are entertaining, but the main purpose of the show is for the contestants to find love. Bachelor In Paradise has had more success with that than the other shows in the franchise. But not all love stories start on camera. Two contestants from Season 10 were recently spotted together on what looked like a date. What’s going on?
Two Nights Of Paradise This Week
Bachelor In Paradise returned to TV last week after nearly two years with a super-sized three-hour episode. The Season 10 premiere saw the start of love connections that might lead to engagements, as well as four heartbreaking eliminations.
Sam McKinney, Hakeem Moulton, Kyle Howard, and Ricky Marinez were the first eliminations of Season 10. But they won’t be the last. The rose ceremonies continue in tonight’s episode.
But viewers won’t see the arrival of the Golden contestants tonight. ABC previously announced that Season 10 will feature castoffs from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette. Jesse Palmer teased that the seniors partied harder than the younger generation.
Some Bachelor Nation fans are only interested in watching the Goldens take over the beach. They finally arrive in a special episode airing on Tuesday, July 14. Unlike tonight’s three-hour episode, the episode airing tomorrow is just two hours.
Season 10 Contestants Spotted On A Date
Viewers always want to see the Bachelor Nation shows end in a happy engagement. Season 9 of Bachelor In Paradise ended in two engagements and one happy relationship, but all three couples broke up shortly after filming.
Season 7 of BIP has the most successful track record, even though a few of the relationships ended during the season finale. Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs, as well as Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb, broke up at the end of the season. But the couples reconnected after filming and are now all happily married.
Two of the three season finale engagements – Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile, and Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin – also resulted in marriages.
Season 9 of Bachelor In Paradise did result in one relationship, but not on-screen. Brayden Bowers connected with Bachelor Nation star Christina Mandrell after leaving the beach. They quietly tied the knot at the end of 2024.
Another possible Bachelor In Paradise reportedly happened after filming was over. Reality Steve reported that Sam McKinney was spotted on a date with another contestant from Season 10, Alli Jo Hinkes.

The two were spotted at two different venues in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, over the weekend. Alli Jo lives in Fort Lauderdale, but Sam McKinney does not. They were spotted leaving a restaurant together, though Reality Steve wasn’t clear if they left as a couple or just friends.
He did, however, discover Sam McKinney in the background of one of Alli Jo’s Instagram Stories posts. They both had short stays on Bachelor In Paradise, but weren’t on the show at the same time. Do you think sparks flew once the cameras went down?
