Jesse Palmer has weighed in on possible changes for Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season, which is slated to air in 2025.

"I do know some of the ideas that are being pitched around," Jesse, 45, teased in a recent interview with Us Weekly.

"I know there's a lot of different stuff sort of in the Bachelor verse that they're putting into this."

The Bachelor franchise host said "it sounds like a lot of the old" format will be coming back to Paradise.

"And it sounds like there are some new ideas being floated in as well," Jesse added. "I'm really excited. I really missed going to the beach this past year."

Jesse and Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams recently got together and chatted about the new season that's on the horizon.

"Wells and I were hanging out a little while ago and we were both talking about how stoked we were to go back," Jesse shared.

"So I can't wait for that time to come. I just hope maybe there's going to be some sort of Golden iteration as well."

Jesse is referring to the women who had competed on Gerry Turner's The Golden Bachelor season last year as well as the men on Joan Vassos' The Golden Bachelorette season, which just premiered last month on ABC.

"I absolutely hope so and I believe in manifestation. I think it would be so great," Jesse gushed.

"I mean, the cast from Gerry's season, the cast from Joan's season, it's incredible."

However, Jesse joked about how the senior men and ladies may not be up for filming Paradise on the usual sweaty and crab-infested beach in Mexico.

"And as long as it's not Atlantic City or Naples, Florida -- not a retirement place -- it has to be a tropical beach," Jesse noted. "And personally, I think you should have air conditioning."

Some standouts from the two Golden series thus far have been Kathy Swarts, Susan Noles and Jack Lencioni.

"I think you need to have an open kitchen and let Jack and Susan go in there -- it would be amazing," Jesse said.

"You would need a kitchen cam at all times just to see what they're cooking up."

ABC announced Bachelor in Paradise's renewal in July, but the network has yet to release an exact premiere date for the 2025 season.

Last year, Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season aired in the fall, but previous seasons had generally aired in the summer months.

Many fans believe producers postponed the 2024 season of Bachelor in Paradise because the spinoff's ninth season was considered a "fail" for the franchise.

The season had concluded with three couples leaving the beach in Mexico still together, yet none of the relationships worked out.

Aven Jones and Kylee Russell left Paradise as a dating couple, and two couples got engaged during the Final Rose Ceremony: Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant as well as Kat Izzo and John Henry Spurlock.

However, within four days of the finale airing in December 2023 on ABC, all three couples announced they had split.

Aven and Kylee also made headlines for a cheating scandal in which Aven had been unfaithful to Kylee.

Rachel Recchia -- who had dated a handful of men on Bachelor in Paradise's ninth season but left single -- admitted on "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast" earlier this year that Season 9 was "so stupid" because "not one couple" is still together.

Rachel reasoned, "I think we're just getting to the point where I think the season of Paradise before mine, everyone was still really open to going there and meeting people and doing it, like, organically -- of course there's always, like, the DMs."

"But this season, it felt so [contrived]," continued the Season 19 The Bachelorette star.

"Everyone knew what they were doing before they went down [to the beach]. And if you didn't know, you were just out of the loop."

At the time, Bachelor in Paradise potentially skipping a year was just a rumor, but Rachel noted, "Taking a break is probably a good thing. Maybe they can reset it and find a new way to do it."

Given many of the women on Paradise were friends from Zach Shallcross' The Bachelor season, Rachel called the girls' dynamic on the beach "a game" that she clearly didn't enjoy playing.

"I think it was a little too [innocent]. People didn't want to step on toes," Rachel noted.

"People didn't want to look stupid, where I think that's the beauty of it, is like taking chances and looking dumb. I feel like maybe that's why this season fell really, really flat."

Rachel said she feels "it's such a new thing" for The Bachelor and The Bachelorette contestants to be so concerned with how they're going to look and come across on TV to viewers.

"On my season of The Bachelor, girls were just running around screaming and no one cared. And now, it's the awareness of it, I think, that is now making it not as fun," Rachel suggested.

However, the pilot had her "fingers crossed" that Bachelor in Paradise would return, and she added, "I heard someone say online that we should bring back Winter Games, and I think that would be so fun!"
