When Kristina Schulman didn't find love on The Bachelor season 21 [1], she moved on to Bachelor in Paradise [2] season four. At first, things went well with her love interest Dean Unglert, but it quickly went downhill [3]. Now she's back in Paradise for season six and the drama is apparent from the first episode.
Kristina was seeing Blake Hortsmann [4] before heading to the Mexican resort [5], at what appears to be the same time he was dating Caelynn Miller-Keyes. It sounds like Blake has a lot of explaining to do and it's bound to make for an interesting season.
