Bachelor In Paradise Australia 2019: Are Richie Strahan and Cassie Wood dating?

Richie And Cass Might Already Be Our Favourite New Couple On Bachelor In Paradise

"I've got my work cut out for me!" - by Arielle Tsoukatos

Hold onto your roses! Bachelor In Paradise 2019 Australia is yet to hit our screens and it's already shaping up to be the most dramatic season of the Bachelor franchise so far - with the latest teaser showing a love match between Richie Strahan and Cassandra Wood.

Channel Ten's second bombshell - the first being Strahan's reunion with ex-girlfriend Alex Nation - depicts the Perth-born heartthrob arriving at the Mango Bay Resort in Fiji, much to the surprise of the Bachie cast.

Strahan introduces himself by revealing "I'm 33 and I'm from my season of The Bachelor. I kind of just hope there are no ex-girlfriends."

Cassandra Wood, Cat Henesey, and Rachael Gouvignon all admit they are attracted to Richie - fans will remember fan favourite Cassie and mean girl Cat from Nick Cummins' season of the bachelor while Rachael came fourth on Richie's own installment.

Responding to the "love square" Richie nervously admits: "I've got my work cut out for me!"

Rachael appears visibly shocked by Richie's entrance, confessing: "My heart was physically pounding." Cassie then admits, "I find him pretty attractive." With Cat adding that "I got a little bit of a crush for Richie!"

This prompts Rachael to respond defensively: "No, no, no... he's my Bachelor!"

Only time will tell who wins Richie's heart on the reality tv show which is slated to air later this year.
