Derek Peth was previously a contestant on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of The Bachelorette and now he makes his way onto season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise. Previously, Peth was in a relationship with Olivia Caridi, who was considered to be the villain of Ben Higgins season of The Bachelor. And, Caridi told Reality Steve that she was actually asked to join the cast this season as well, but Peth didn’t want her to be on the show. In May 2017, Reality Steve reported that:
I had heard rumors that Derek and Olivia Caridi were a thing, so much so that they were planning on going on Paradise “together.” But then I heard he ended things with her, and I quote exactly, “because he didn’t want to date anyone from the franchise.” When I did Olivia’s podcast a couple weeks ago, I just went straight to the source and asked her flat out if what I heard was true. She confirmed what I’d heard. Yet, Derek’s probably going on Paradise. Ummm, Derek you do realize that breaking up with the girl because you don’t want to date anyone from the franchise then going on Paradise to, well, date people from the franchise, is about the stupidest thing you can ever say to a girl you’re dumping, right? Just checking.
Currently, Caridi has been making a name for herself, hosting CBS Radio’s Mouthing Off podcast on Playit.
Meanwhile, Peth has joined Bachelor in Paradise and Reality Steve reports that he gets together with Taylor Nolan, who people may remember from Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor. Nolan was eliminated from the show on a two-on-one date with Corinne Olympios, who was her enemy on the show. Now, Olympios joins Nolan on Bachelor in Paradise, so they are in each other’s company once again. Fortunately for Nolan, after a scandal involving Olympios caused a halt in production, Olympios decided to not return to the show for the remainder of season 4.
