Bachelor in Paradiseseason 10 bartender Wells Adams invited Rachael Kirkconnell and Matt James to the beaches of Mexico, after the couple split four years after they leftThe Bachelorseason 25 as a couple.
According toUs Weekly,Wells declared that he wants to see Matt and Rachael onBachelor in Paradiseseason 10, along with other infamousBachelorNation alums. He said,“Matt needs to come, Rachael needs to come. Victoria [Fuller] needs to come, Greg [Grippo]—everyone needs to come back. I also, obviously, want a lot of these new young [contestants] and fresh blood, but I love it when we have the heavy hitters of Bachelor Nation come back and I want to return to that. I need some more Ashley Is crying and I need Clares talking to freaking raccoons.”
Of course, Wells is referring to Ashley Iaconetti’s constant crying during herBachelor in Paradiseruns, and Clare Crawley’s infamous conversation with a raccoon during the show.Wells also noted that"so many relationships"withinBachelorNation"happened that didn’t happen on the beach where they should have.“He pointed to Victoria and Greg, who became a couple after Victoria got engaged to and then broke up with Johnny DePhillipo duringBachelor in Paradiseseason 8, but they’ve also since broken up.
Wells joked,“Victoria and Greg — I’m annoyed, you don’t do this out in the real world! You do it in Paradise. You guys would’ve broken up in just a couple weeks and it would’ve been dragged out for all of us.So I want all these people who have been in these crazy relationships to come together.”
Wells would also like to seeThe Golden BachelorandThe Golden Bachelorettecontestants dating the youngerBachelorNation alums. He said,“I have pitched this and I think it’s an amazing idea. Everyone come and everyone can date everyone. Hey, look, if you’re not into a cougar, that’s OK. Different strokes for different folks. But there is a world in which some young girl meets a really wealthy, distinguished gentleman — that happens all the time in the real world. And if it’s supposed to be a microcosm of the real world, that could happen there.”
Wells hilariously pointed out that"there’s a show called MILF Manor.Why couldn’t there be a cougar that takes down a hot young Benson Boone-looking dude on the beach?I think that would be the most amazing thing.“Wells added,“The only thing is that we need to do it in a place where it wouldn’t be too hot because if you are a bit older, you might melt [in Mexico]. Maybe Palm Springs or Del Boca Vista, a place where it’s already a retirement community and everyone can get around in golf carts. I think it’s got legs.”
Matt needs to come, Rachael needs to come. Victoria [Fuller] needs to come, Greg [Grippo]—everyone needs to come back. I also, obviously, want a lot of these new young [contestants] and fresh blood, but I love it when we have the heavy hitters of Bachelor Nation come back and I want to return to that. I need some more Ashley Is crying and I need Clares talking to freaking raccoons.
What Wells Adams’ Bachelor In Paradise Invitation Means for Rachael & Matt
Rachael & Matt’s Breakup Is Still Very Fresh
Wells is a very funny person, and it’s likely that he was joking when he offered an invitation toBachelor in Paradiseseason 10 to Rachael and Matt.Matt announced the breakupon Instagram on June 19, 2025, just hours after it happened, so it’s still so fresh. Therefore, it would be a terrible idea for either of Matt or Rachael to look for love on the beach. After four years together,Rachael and Matt will need some time to process what happened.
Our Take On Wells Adams Inviting Rachael & Matt On Bachelor In Paradise
Wells' Ideas Are Bonkers
Hopefully, Wells was joking when he invited Rachael and Matt toBachelor in Paradiseseason 10. Neither one of them is ready for a new relationship yet, and it would be exploitative to put them back on TV so soon after their breakup.It would be hard to watch if they were both there and had to watch each other date other people, especially for Rachael, because Matt broke up with her. Because Rachael said the producers made her feel like a failure the first time around, they can’t be trusted with her in Paradise so soon after her breakup.

Wells' other ideas forBachelor in Paradiseseason 10 are also bonkers. The Golden pitch could never work, but Wells seemed to know that and was most likely kidding.Bachelor in Paradiseseasons 8 and 9 both failed, with none of the couples lasting after the show, whether engaged or dating. Rather than invite controversial contestants or introduce crazy twists, the show should go back to basics, and simply leave the contestants alone so that they can fall in love.IfBachelor in Paradiseseason 10 focuses on love and not manufactured drama, then it might actually be a success.
