‘Who are they?’ Bachelor in Paradise fans are left baffled as three ‘wild cards’ join the cast despite having NEVER appeared on The Bachelorette before
Channel 10 has confirmed three new ‘wild cards’ who have never appeared on The Bachelorette will be entering the Bachelor in Paradise villa on Wednesday.
The network shared a photo of the three men, Tim, Chris and Conor, to the show’s official Instagram page, and wrote: ‘You want more fellas in Paradise? Go on then have three BRAND NEW love-seekers who’ve never been on a Bachelor show before.’
But viewers were left very confused, and questioned why these contestants were entering the villa despite never having appeared in the franchise before.

‘I’m not sure that is how it works,’ one baffled fan commented. ‘Who the hell are they?’ another asked.
‘So I can go into Paradise without being on Bachy! Lol,’ a third viewer wrote.
‘Umm I’m sorry but who are they?’ one viewer added, to which another replied: ‘Who the actual heck are these people?’
‘I’m not sure that’s how it works!’ Many viewers were left baffled, and questioned why these contestants were entering the villa despite never having appeared in the franchise before
‘Wait Bachelor in Paradise but they’ve never been on a Bachelor/ette that’s not how this works,’ read a similar comment.
‘What the heck! They’re bringing in guys that have never been on a show!’ another wrote below the announcement post.

Last week, Daily Mail Australia revealed these contestants had applied to be on The Bachelorette but didn’t make it to the end of the audition process.
Adelaide-based Timmy Lindy is an aircraft engineer by trade, while Conor Canning is an auctioneer from Hobart, and Chris Gilleland is a construction worker from Perth.
It’s believed Conor hooks up with Mary Viturino on the dating show, as she has made several mystery trips to Tasmania since filming wrapped in December.
