Bachelor in Paradise returned with a new season on July 7, 2025. Returning cast members from across the franchise arrived in Costa Rica, hoping to give love another shot. Among them were Dale Moss and Kat Izzo, who sparked a connection and went on a date to get to know each other better.
Dale had previously appeared in season 16 of The Bachelorette, where he proposed to Clare Crawley just four episodes into the series. Meanwhile, Kat participated in season 27 of The Bachelor and then in season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise. However, their relationships failed to sustain themselves. Consequently, Dale and Kat returned to the franchise hoping to find love once again.
Dale arrived on the second day of the experiment, drawing the attention of the female contenders. However, the male cast member chose Kat as his partner for their boat date. The pair enjoyed berries and got closer.

As soon as Kat walked in, the male contenders were drawn to her, as Ricky and Brian, in separate confessionals, complimented her appearance, admitting it was hard not to be attracted to her. Meanwhile, Jonathan showed a double thumbs-up to express his approval of the new arrival.
While speaking to the Bachelor in Paradise cameras, Kat mentioned that the online bullying was "very real last time." She confessed that the backlash took a toll on her mental state. Regardless, Kat was open to exploring her chances and having a fresh start.
On the second day, Dale arrived. Watching him walk on the beach, Zoe admitted that Dale was someone all of the ladies had their eyes on. Jonathan added that the "lust for Dale" was "through the roof." When it was Dale's turn to pick his date, he chose Kat, which bothered Zoe.
"She very much was scheming for that one," Zoe remarked.

The pair enjoyed champagne and berries as they got to know each other better. Dale confided in Kat that he was "nervous" coming into the show.
