Get ready for a major surprise in Paradise.

We’re not just talking about the unexpected conclusion to the second episode’s rose ceremony or the addition of four new ladies to the show. We’re referring to the introduction of 10 ‘Golden Bachelor’ and ‘Golden Bachelorette’ contestants, aged between 62 and 72, who will make their appearance tonight at the “Bachelor in Paradise” beach resort, in search of love once again.

Before the season kicked off, host Jesse Palmer shared with DECIDER the enthusiasm of the new older contestants, recounting their immediate impact upon arrival. “They arrived around 10:15 AM and by 10:19, they were already taking body shots off each other in the pool, in front of everyone. The ‘Goldens’ really don’t hold back. They’ve experienced life, they know themselves well, and they aren’t afraid to show it. They quickly set the vibe,” he explained.

Tonight marks the official start of the Golden glow-up, and here’s all you need to know to catch this unprecedented event in Bachelor Nation history.
