Jesse Palmer Teases Goldens On Bachelor In Paradise Were 'Sucking Face'

Ahead of the highly anticipated July 7 return of the spinoff series, host Jesse Palmer teased what viewers can expect during a conversation with alums Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt on their Bachelor Happy Hour podcast . For the first time, The Bachelor and Bachelorette stars will be joined by Goldens , which Palmer revealed did not play out the way most would think.

"This will be, probably, a surprise to a lot of people at home," he explained. "It's not to me because I've been around them, but it's actually the Goldens who, I think, infused the most energy in the show.⁘

⁘I'm not taking a shot at a younger cast, but after a couple days of shooting, you kinda start getting comfortable. You know, you start coupling up, and everybody doesn't — it feels like they're off edge a little bit,⁘ he noted. ⁘The Goldens bring it every single day."

Sharing that the first night parties for The Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette both went much later than the original seasons' have in the past, the former football player said he had some idea that group would "go so hard."

Before bringing everyone together, Palmer revealed that there were some discussions about the anticipated dynamics between the two casts.

"The direction when the Goldens arrive is sort of like, 'Hey. Like, we obviously have two completely different generations here in Paradise , and we're encouraging you to sort of stay in your generational lane when it comes to dating.' Obviously, I can't tell anybody who to love and who not to love. That's not my job. In 2025, you can't tell anybody that. But just don't make it weird."

Palmer said he "was always hopeful and aware of the value" that the Goldens could bring to the show.
