Bachelor Pad is ready to host a brand-new crop of reality contestant rejects: ABC has just announced the cast of The Bachelor Pad 3.

The show, premiering Monday, July 23, will offer some familiar faces from past Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons, as is tradition. Among them: "bad boy" Kalon, who famously called Emily Maynard's daughter "baggage," and a pair of Ben Flajnik's rejected gals, Blakely Jones and Lindzi Cox. Each of the reality TV veterans, along with "super fans" and a special "mystery man," will compete for the $250,000 prize.
