There’s plenty to look forward to when Bachelor in Paradise returns tonight. Wells Adams will not only come back as the bartender but also as the Master of Ceremonies. There will also be a few celebrity guest hosts, including David Spade, Lance Bass, Lil Jon, and Tituss Burgess.

Meanwhile, the initial Bachelor in Paradise cast will feature 13 women and 10 men. So the men will choose who will be sent home in the premiere. But at this point, who knows what will happen with all the chaos brewing in Paradise? Luckily, ABC teased who to watch out for in the premiere. The network’s synopsis says:

A fan-favorite contestant from The Bachelor, Abigail receives the honor of picking out a companion for the very first date card. Back at the resort, a kittenish Maurissa finds herself smitten with cool cat Connor, and another potential couple faces some awkward history when one woman admits to her suitor that she’s kissed his uncle. Returning to the beach after finding love during his last visit, Joe immediately finds himself in a love triangle which leads him to question being back. Has someone already proven to him that it’s worth sticking around? Meanwhile, plenty of the other couples do their part to make sure this first day in Paradise is the steamiest yet, with the most makeouts in the history of the show! But just as relationships seem to be gaining a solid footing, a new arrival shifts the sands and threatens to shake things up.
