So Jarrod and Keira, Courtney and Lily, now Jake and Meghan - all the couples biting the dust this week

Oh gosh how sad. Jake sounds like he's hurting.

Well they say things come in three's, it sure has.

oh man love sux atm - maybe they broke up because its just in time for casting for next season BIP

I just posted this article in the Bette forum because it talks a bit about that, but ends with saying that casting for BIP is happening now, and isn't it interesting that all these couples have broken up just in time 

Seriously though, how boring would it be to have all the same people as last year again? I also saw that all of the Love Island couples have broken up now, I wonder if they have an exclusivity deal with Channel 9, or if we could have some cross over? I didn't really like Love Island, but it would be interesting having some of the people from it on BIP.

So funny @Bobette some of the comments on the IG post Florence and Davey are saying they will go for it again as long as flo doesn't kiss jake again...Flo is like i'll have the champers ready!

God i hope they just have new ppl like some girls from Tims season (sarahmae is gorgeous) and is it bad that i am hoping Richie Strahan goes on this show? i feel like Sophie and Richie would actually make a cute couple...ooohh and what about courtney and lily!!

also i have been watching a bit of Blakes season again and i wonder what ever happened to Jess??

The DM article says it will mostly be people from the current seasons of Bach and Bette which to me means Ali's escapees will be straight on the plane and over there.  From Nick's Cat will appear for sure IMO, probably Tenille, definitely Shannon IMO.  

I think Richie would do much better on this style of show where there's no pressure to be Lead.  I could stand to watch him again.  Florence and Davey are welcome on my screen again but please NOT Megan, Jake or Keira. No no no  

While a cast has yet to be announced, it is believed that several contestants from this year's Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons will be appearing - as well as a handful of older franchise stars.

Yes please for Richie, I know he wasn't the best lead, but he was adorable on Sams season, and I agree @Bobette that he would cope with BIP's format better. Just NO to any retreads from last years BIP, seriously, what do they think this is? Their yearly free holiday?

Agreed - we need fresh meat!  Also LOL at DM describing the retreads as "older" franchise members.  

It just occurred to me that we will probably get pap shots of the BiP contestants filming before Ali's season even airs.  How do we feel about that?  Personally doesn't bother me at all - I can never resist/avoid spoilers and am looking forward to seeing who escaped Ali's clutches.  However I think on the US BiP page it's customary not to mention cast names until they've been eliminated from the main show.  We should probably establish some kind of consensus before the pics start coming out...?

Belinda (Matty's season) is angling for a spot on BiP by claiming the cast will need a "love coach" to help "level out the nastiness".  Uh huh. Whatever you say.

Belinda's quest for relevance continues   She's got no chance, pretty sure no one even remembers who she is. I'd even prefer Jen Hawke to her, and I can't stand Jen!
