It took some Bachelor Nation fans a hot minute to recognize Victoria P. and James. So if you need a refresher, James is from Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette. The contestant showed up on night one in a box. But after his grand entrance, James seemed to be wrapped up in the drama. Then Katie eliminated James in week 5 of The Bachelorette.

Meanwhile, Victoria P. is from Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor. Throughout the season, the cast member got involved in major drama, most notably with Alayah Benevidez. Victoria P. also self-eliminated in week 6.

Before the Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 premiere, the ABC reality series seemingly teased some moments between James and Victoria P. In the season preview for BIP, the reality stars were spotted together in multiple shots.

That said, a Bachelor in Paradise promo for the Aug. 23 and 24 episodes hinted that some drama is on its way for Victoria P. In the teaser, Tammy Ly seemingly suggested that Victoria P. has something to hide.

“She continues to lie and be manipulative,” Tammy said in a voiceover as a shot of Victoria P. and James flash by. “She’s coming with an agenda.”

At this point, Bachelor in Paradise fans will have to wait and see what happens to Victoria P. and James. But Bachelor Nation blogger Reality Steve already shared spoilers about Victoria P.’s time on the ABC reality series, and it doesn’t look like she ends up with James.

According to Reality Steve on June 30, Victoria P. had a boyfriend at home before she started dating on BIP. The contestant allegedly got called out for this and self-eliminated from the show.

“Victoria Paul (Peter’s season) was original cast,” Reality Steve wrote. “But was called out for having a boyfriend back home and ended up self eliminating before the first rose ceremony even happened, so she was the first one gone.”

As always, Bachelor in Paradise fans will have to watch James and Victoria P.’s love story unfold in season 7. But whether their journey matches up with the spoilers, we’re sure it’s going to be filled with drama. Stay tuned.
