AceShowbiz - "Bachelor in Paradise" will develop intercultural relationships in its upcoming season. ABC has revealed the cast for the show's season 5 and they include some international contestants. They are Yuki Kimura from "The Bachelor" Japan and Kevin Wendt from "The Bachelorette" Canada.
U.S. audience may recognize both of them through their appearance on "The Bachelor Winter Games". While Kevin will be trying to woo female contestants on the show, Yuki is on hand to assist former "The Bachelorette" contestant Wells Adams who will be a resident bartender.
Most of the cast are from the current season of "The Bachelorette" starring Becca Kufrin and from Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of "The Bachelor". Other returning faces include some contestants from Nick Viall's "The Bachelor" season and Rachel Lindsay's former suitors.
