Season 3 of Facebook/Bachelor in Paradise

Now that Season 12 of "The Bachelorette" is over, ABC is gearing up to air Season 3 of "Bachelor in Paradise," which will consist of contestants from the previous seasons of "The Bachelorette" as well as "The Bachelor."

Season 3 will kick off on Tuesday, Aug. 2, with Chad Johnson, Daniel Maguire, Evan Bass, Grant Kemp, Jared Haibon, Nick Viall, Vinny Ventiera, Amanda Stanton, Carly Waddell, Emily Ferguson, Haley Ferguson, Isabel "Izzy" Goodkind, Jubilee Sharpe, Lace Morris, Leah Block, and Sarah Herron.

The episode can be watched online on abc.go.com or abc.com.

Based on spoilers doing the rounds, the premiere episode will feature a lot of drama, thanks to Chad Johnson, who was known as the villain of Season 12 of "The Bachelorette" featuring JoJo Fletcher. The first half of Season 12 saw Chad threatening other contestants and being cocky, and it looks like he hasn't changed much.

Reality Steve, a commentator of the dating reality show, revealed on his blog post that Chad will pick up a fight in the first episode, and he will be removed from the show.

Here's Steve's account of the incident.

On the first day, Chad actually connected with Lace during the day. Even made out with her. By the end of the first night, Chad got belligerent drunk, was telling people to 'suck Bachelor d**k,' believe almost got in a fight with Daniel, and even called Lace the four letter no-no word rhyming with 'punt.' So the next morning, Chris Harrison talks to Chad and tells him he's being removed from the show. Dunzo. But yeah, I'm sure he'll once again blame that on the edit.

Based on these spoilers, it looks like Chad isn't destined to find love on reality television, as he was unsuccessful in impressing JoJo as well.

Season 3 episode 1 will begin with the cast arriving on the shores of Playa Escondida in Sayulita, Mexico, and getting introduced to one another. Jubilee gets the first date card and she will go on an intimate dinner date with Jared. 

"Bachelor in Paradise" airs Mondays and Tuesdays on ABC.
