Andrew Spencer has teased that Sean McLaughlin is going to become a central figure on Bachelor in Paradise this season and rock the boat like viewers have never seen before.

"I'm going to tell you guys, that is where sh-t goes, 'Wow!'" Andrew said during a recent appearance on "The Viall Files" podcast.

Andrew shared that what's about to unfold on Paradise is "insane" regarding Sean's behavior.

"Sean might be the greatest Bachelor in Paradise villain of all time," Andrew revealed. "It was unexpected. I didn't see [it coming]."

When the podcast's host Nick Viall asked Andrew to share where he stands with Sean now, Andrew replied, "I don't have a problem with Sean. I don't have a problem with anyone. Not my circus, not my monkeys."

Andrew clarified that while he "wouldn't invite" Sean to a gathering with friends, he would "hang out" with Sean if he ever found his way to Chicago.

"If we're in the same [place], I wouldn't have a problem hanging out with him," Andrew said. "I'd grab a beer or whatever the case [with him]. I wouldn't shun him."

Andrew said he had first met Sean a couple of years ago at The Bachelorette 18 alum Nayte Olukoya's birthday party.

"Sean was super fratty," Andrew recalled with a laugh. "We were like, 'Oh my god.' It was hilarious... He's textbook white guy. But no, he was chill."

Andrew shared, however, how Sean on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season vs. Nayte's birthday party is "night and day."

In a preview of next week's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, the cast participates in another relationship test.

After a wild treasure hunt, Bachelor in Paradise host Jesse Palmer shares in the clip, "You will vote as a group which two women will not be receiving a rose to hand out."

Lea Cayanan, feeling a target on her back since she wasn't romantically involved with Jonathon Johnson, tells Jonathon in confidence: "We need to start convincing people, like, 'Don't get rid of the easy targets. Go get rid of the strongest couple!'"

And it appears Sean makes waves by going after Paradise's beloved Day 1 couple, Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards.

"For me, Spencer and Jess are the most dangerous couple. It would make the most sense strategically to separate them," Sean tells Dale Moss and Jeremy Simon.

Spencer proceeds to confront Sean.

"The second that her name leaves your mouth, you're f-cking done once you say it!" Spencer says.

Allyshia Gupta also admits, "It hurts my feelings that conversations are being had behind my back."

Katherine "Kat" Izzo also apparently gets into with Sean.

"As you disrespect me and curse at me, I'm not going to sit here anymore and do that," Kat tells Sean.

Allyshia, who was paired up with Sean at this point, then calls Kat "a joke of a human being."

Keith Gordon concludes, "This was a wild Rose Ceremony. What were you thinking?!"

Sean had dated Charity Lawson on The Bachelorette's 20th season and was eliminated during Week 5. He and also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season in 2023.

Sean widely became known as a Ken doll because of his blonde hair and blue eyes, and he memorably had a brief romantic fling with former The Bachelorette star Rachel Recchia on Paradise.

Andrew, for his part, competed on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette. He's currently dating Alexe Godin as Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season plays out on Monday nights on ABC.
