The premiere of “Bachelor in Paradise” has an unexpected appearance

“When you’re in the moment and you’ve only got a piece of paper on you, it’s nerve-wracking,” Jacob explained. “Because this leaf will easily turn into a full-fledged tree.”

Shanae and Jacob hit it off almost immediately.

The first dating card of the season went to Andrew Spenceralso from Katie’s season that invited Teddy Wright, also from Clayton’s season, on a one-on-one date. They had a cute, if slightly awkward, conversation over dinner, but it eventually led to them kissing in a hot tub that was like a margarita. Ah, true love.

Back at the beach, Genevieve and Justin gave it another chance, after the narwhal. Genevieve told Justine that he didn’t seem interested in her, to which he replied, “Don’t actions speak louder than words” and proceeded to kiss her. They spent the entire night together, including a late night rendezvous in the hot tub, though their hot tub was unfortunately not in the form of an alcoholic beverage.

However, the most dramatic events of the premiere were saved Romeo Alexander from season Michelle and Kira Mengistu and Jill Chin, both from Clayton’s season. After Kira repeatedly tried to interfere when Romeo and Jill had time alone, Romeo eventually pleaded with Kira, “If you’d let me pursue Jill in peace, that would be great.”

Kira reluctantly agreed, but she and Jill still had some issues to work out, so they decided to have a tête-à-tête on the beach.

“First of all, what is your problem with me?” Kira began the conversation without hesitation. “Why do you avoid me every time I approach you? Did I do something to you?”

Jill replied, “You’re disturbing Romeo and me. It’s intentional and I know it.” But Kyra wasn’t having it, as the health worker said she was being “stalked” and claimed Jill was “slut shaming” her.

Annoyed, Jill finally yelled, “What’s going on? You are a doctor!”
