As Bachelor in Paradise contestants get eliminated throughout the upcoming season, more former franchise stars enter the scene in their place. While most Season 2 contestants have already been revealed, viewers are left speculating who might show up later on.

Although it has yet to be confirmed, it appears a very famous Bachelor-franchise villain may make an appearance on the second edition of Bachelor in Paradise, which premieres August 2 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Chris Bukowski tweeted former The Bachelorette bachelor William Holman a very telling message earlier this month.

"Can someone photoshop @chrisjbukowski into this. Its not really a Bachelor show without him," Holman tweeted to Bukowski along with a photo of Bachelor in Paradise 2's cast.

"No fear Bill.. I won't let you down," Bukowski tweeted in reply on July 14.

Rumor has it Nick Peterson and Jaclyn Swartz will also be looking for love on the series.

Peterson previously joked on Twitter that a picture of him shirtless was a "sneak peek" of the new season. In a recent interview with Reality TV World, Nick Viall also said Swartz became friends with Carly Waddell and Mikey Tenerelli in paradise.

Bukowski initially competed for Emily Maynard's heart on The Bachelorette's eighth season but finished in fourth place. He then appeared on the third season of Bachelor Pad, when he developed a bad reputation as a womanizer.

Bukowski took more risks for love on reality TV by attempting to join the cast of Andi Dorfman's The Bachelorette season, however, he failed to receive her approval. Bukowski also appeared on the inaugural season of Bachelor in Paradise. He left the show dating Elisa Mosca, but their relationship ended only about a month later.

Peterson is best remembered for winning Bachelor Pad's third season with Rachel Truehart. He opted to take the entire $250,000 grand prize for himself rather than splitting the money with his devastated partner. He originally appeared on The Bachelorette's seventh season starring Ashley Hebert.

Swartz first appeared on Ben Flajnik's season of The Bachelor and went on to Bachelor Pad's third edition, when she hooked up with Ed Swiderski.
