Pieper James will be one of the new arrivals on the Sept. 6 episode of Bachelor in Paradise. However, she’s already been part of a storyline on the show’s seventh season, despite not actually being on the beach yet. Cast member Brendan Morais was accused of dating Pieper before heading to Mexico, and previews for this week’s episode reveal that the two go on a one-on-one date once Pieper arrives.
Brendan hit it off with Natasha Parker when Paradise first began. Then, when Demi Burnett arrived, she asked him on a date and was super into him. However, Brendan rejected Demi, and has been hanging with Natasha ever since. Natasha has admittedly been worried about how slow Brendan has been taking things in their relationship, and she’s definitely in for some more drama once Pieper shows up! Learn more about the new arrival below.
