The first trailers for the new season of The Bachelor Pad, which premieres on Monday, July 23, showed Kalon getting involved with Lindzi, who was the runner up on Ben Flajnik’s season. It sounds like their relationship could still be going on post-show.
“I was the first to admit that I was absolutely there for the opportunity to win $250,000,” he said. “And then as I settled in, and met some amazing people, that all kind of changed.”

As for Maynard’s reaction to his apology on the “Men Tell All” special, Kalon told THR he wasn’t surprised.
“Obviously I expected the worst,” he said. “I knew Emily would have some very specific words for me, as she should.”
“She’s in a very precarious situation as a single mom on a stage in front of the whole world, so she’s got to stand her ground,” he added.
Maynard will pick between Jef and Arie on the season finale of The Bachelorette on Sunday, July 22. The Bachelor Pad premieres the following night, on Monday, July 23.
