ABC’s “Bachelor In Paradise” Season 9 is getting ready to hit our TV screens this month and we cannot wait!

The show will officially debut on September 28!

Wells Adam recently gave the “Love Island” franchise props letting it be known that the show did take it’s Casa Amor concept. His wife Sarah Hyland is the host of the USA version.

Wells shared:

“I remember when we did it and it’s funny because Sarah, my wife] hosts Love Island USA — and yeah, we separated everybody and [they all] got so angry but first of all, Love Island ripped off Paradise originally, so we can go rip off some of their good s—t,”

Love it!

Host Jesse Palmer teases big changes to the format of the show including a twist:

“There’s going to be something really special and unique this season, something to celebrate. I think all of Bachelor Nation is going to be really, really excited about it … Everybody on the beach will be too … I really cannot wait to see what happens and where this goes.”

“I don’t want to spoil things for everybody.

I imagine there will be things that people were not expecting to happen … and they will probably be very angry about it. But I’ll be fine because I’ll be making drinks in the back and just watching the dumpster fire burn in front of me.” Wells added.
