It’s baaaack (almost)! Bachelor in Paradise returns on August 5 and we’re so ready. Chris Harrison made the official announcement about the air date on June 14, which gives fans plenty of time to rally for their favorite Bachelor Nation alums to be invited to look for love on the beach. A cast list was already leaked for who’s arriving during day 1 and 2 in Mexico, but there’s definitely a bit of flexibility for the later weeks.

“Almost paradise,” the host captioned a promo photo on Instagram. “Time to start stocking up on margarita mix, guacamole and drama. #BachelorInParadise premieres Aug 5th! Who do you hope to see on the beach?” Followers flooded the comments with their top contenders, including Hannah Godwin, Blake Horstmann and Demi Burnett.

People also begged for ABC’s mercy on who they *didn’t* want to see. Particularly, people got pretty brutal over Cam Ayala and Luke Parker from Hannah Brown‘s season of The Bachelorette. Buckle up, fam, because (spoiler alert!) Reality Steve claims that the catchphrase king (a.k.a. Always Be Cam) will be stepping out on the beach during the first day of Paradise. As for Luke P., he’s still vying for the Alabama beauty’s heart, despite the awkward cliffhanger during week 5.

Last we saw the studly contestant, the leading lady told him, “I can’t give you this rose,” while holding the precious one-on-one date stem. The pair had a rocky date in Scotland where Hannah felt like Luke couldn’t connect on a deeper level and just kept repeating what he thought she wanted to hear. “After today, I don’t feel good and I don’t know how I feel about you. All I want is to see Luke be Luke but it’s just not what I hoped for,” she told him during their dinner where neither ate one bite of food. “Honestly, today was as worse as a day as gone for me.” They showed the Florida native in the trailer for what’s to come during the rest of this season, which alludes to the fact that he’s here to stay.

As for Paradise, we can’t wait for the drama … oh, and love.
