- Hola. Good morning.

Coffee, and coffee?

[laughs]
- No, thank you.

- I'm stressed,
because time is ticking.

I am severely backed up.

Yesterday, I talked
to the doctor,

and he told me that
if I do not have

a bowel movement by sunrise,
that I need to leave Paradise.

- She might be just trying
to walk a bowel movement out.

She hasn't pooped in 10 days.

- Everyone is so invested
in my gut health

right now, that as soon as I
make eye contact with someone,

they're like,
"Sam, how are you doing?"

The girls are asking me.

The guys are asking me.

The lifeguard's dog
is asking me.

Hey.

Come on.

It would make me so sad
if I left Paradise.

I really connected with Aaron.

He was so supportive
last night.

He was amazing.

- It's not your poop baby.

It's gonna be our poop baby.

- Sunrise tomorrow morning...

drastic actions.

[words echoing]
Sunrise tomorrow morning.

- I kept waking up throughout
the middle of the night

like, please, don't be dark.

Please, don't be dark.

And like, I lifted up,
and I didn't see the sun.

And I was like, oh, thank God.

But I don't even know.

[bell dings]

- Do you have updates?
- Update? There is no update.

I'm gonna have to talk
to the doctor soon

just because I'm not really
sure what to do from here.

I feel like I've exhausted
a lot of options.

I mean, I don't want
to go home.

I'm building
a connection with Aaron.

- I know.
- And I really like him so far.

- Sam is so little.

I'm like, where is this poop
even being stored right now?

I don't understand.

My heart breaks for her
because she's in

a great space with Aaron,

so I don't want her
to go home.

And I know that
she doesn't want to go home.

- You're in a sticky situation
right now

with Sam potentially leaving.

- I am.

- Is she actually leaving?
- She might have to.

Yeah.

We're talking about 11 days,
homey, like, no pooping.

- That's not good.

- We want this connection

with Sam and Aaron.

It has to keep going further.

They seem to be like
two peas in a pod.

I want them to skyrocket
and go to the moon.

- Have you talked to Aaron
about possibly going home

and what that means
for your relationship?

- I mean, he's a great guy.

- He likes you so much.
- And--I know.

- But I don't want to rob him
of his experience

because of my issues.
- Right.

- I came to Paradise
to find love.

How's it going?
- Hola.

- How are you?

- Aaron and I are
a match made in heaven.

Like, we've really bonded.

And I just want
to continue to be here

and further our connection.

I haven't talked
to the doctor yet.

- Yeah.

- The doctor said yesterday,
like, as of today,

we need to take more serious...

- Yeah.
- Measures.

So I'm still waiting.

- Yeah.

I mean, honestly,
we definitely connected, right?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- And it's been so easy.

- I feel like I've known you
for a while.

Like, it's so easy
to be myself around you.

I'm just so comfortable
with you.

- Sam and I have a connection
that we want to explore.

Our worlds, like, collided,
but Sam's been hit

by, like, a left and a right.

And now we're just waiting
to see that doctor come in

and blow the whistle.

actually?

- Yeah, if you'd like.
- Okay.

- Yeah. Do it in private.

- So with Sam, it is day 10.

It's double digits.

We've tried options here,

and unfortunately,
it didn't progress

the way we wanted it to.

They say love conquers all,

but for Sam,
I guess that's not true.

All right.
So, Sam, you saw the sunrise.

And from what I understand,
there's been no movement.

So we talked about
more aggressive treatments

than just the laxatives
you had before.

- We were hella vibing hard,

and then wrong time,
wrong place.

- Wait.

Where is she?

- We talked for a little bit
at the cabana down there,

and then the doctor
took her away.

So...

- I know that Sam really wants
to find love here.

And she has something really
great going with Aaron S.

So to see it crumble
would be devastating.

No, no, no.
She literally can't.

- Sam is really thriving
here with Aaron S.

And we're all just waiting
around seeing, did she poop?

- Hey, guys.

Can I talk to everyone
for a second?

- Yeah. Come over here.

- I don't know
what's going on with Sam.

I just know she hasn't
been able to, um, you know,

get--get some things out.

- As some of you guys know,
I've been dealing with

stomach issues
since I've been here.

I talked to the doctor
last night,

and he said to reevaluate
things at sunrise.

No luck.

He actually thinks that
I should go home.

So I will be leaving Paradise.

I just want to thank you all
so much for just

being so invested
and so supportive

and just there for me, so...

- No, we're gonna miss you.

- No.
- I'll miss you back.

- No. I'm gonna cry.

[indistinct chatter]

- Everyone's gonna miss Sam.

Everyone loves Sam.

It's Sam.

I feel so bad for her.

- Thank you guys
for being there for me.

I'm, like--
I'm so embarrassed, but--

- No, don't be.
- No.

- Don't be. We're all adults.
- You're awesome.

- Bye.
- Bye, bye, bye.

- I feel like it was going
so well for Aaron and Sam.

And then out of nowhere, she's
like, oh, I have to bounce.

And it has nothing
to do with Aaron.

It's, like,
so out of his control.

So I feel really bad for him.

I obviously feel bad for her.

- You have been
such a special person.

I will never forget
our time that we shared.

I've had so much fun
getting to meet you

and hang out with you.
- I know.

It's so sad because
you and I connected

on a really amazing
emotional basis, so...

- Well, thank you again

having a great time

here in Paradise
so far together.

The rose was a hey,
I want to get

to know you a little bit more.

Let's see if
there's something there.

And if the romantic
connection ever

gets there, which for me,
it definitely has,

we'll--we'll explore that.

- I think someone's coming down
today with s date card.

Who that will be,
only time will tell.

- We have a bunch
of couples in Paradise.

The girls hold the roses.

And the numbers are definitely
not in the favor of the men.

We lost our dear friend Sam,

so we got ten men
and seven women.

Brayden and Kat had
this lovey-dovey--

some people were saying

the strongest
relationship here.

And then boom,
Tanner came on the beach

yesterday with a date card.

He ends up choosing Kat.

Kat drops Brayden.

She doesn't even have
a polite conversation.

- I don't know. I just, like--

I really vibed with you
yesterday.

And I, like, really--
- Yesterday was awesome,

like, when we got back
and we were just,

like, chilling.
- Yeah. Yes.

- This is nice.
- Yeah, that was the best part.

- How are you feeling
this morning?

- It just makes me realize
I got hustled.

- We understand,
like, you saying,

like, yo, I don't know
if this is gonna work out.

But the delivery was off
last night, big time.

- Yeah.
- It just sounds like

she wants to have a wild summer

of getting to hang out
with a lot of different guys.

And you know, I'm just--
I mean--

- Which is okay.

- Which is fine.

But again, be clear about
your intentions from the jump.

Like, that's my thing
is like, it's entirely

different from what
she was kind of telling me.

- You stumbled into a trap.

- I stumbled in.

I just saw her,
and I fell hard.

And at the bottom of the trap
was a sharp knife

that just stabbed me
through my face.

Kat's like a female
praying mantis.

It's like, they get this guy.

And then after they mate
with him, they eat him.

She got my rose,
and she killed me.

- You just got to get--
just get through it.

- I just have to tell you,
your voice is so soothing.

- Yeah, can you read us
a book tonight, dude?

This might be our
last night here.

- Kat, she's over there
cuddling up with Tanner.

In one regard,
I want to give him a heads up

because I thought I was in
a safe relationship.

But I'm sure Kat's gonna be
on the hunt for somebody else.

There's a man eater
on that beach.

Like, bro, she's hungry.

- I'm John Henry.

I'm from Charity's season.

And I'm nervous as hell
being in Paradise right now.

- How you been?
- Good. How you been?

- Welcome to Paradise.
- Yeah.

- How are you feeling?
Doing okay?

- I'm--I'm nervous.
- Are you?

- Nervous wreck,
but I'm better this time.

- The last time
we saw you obviously

was on Charity's season.
- Yeah, um...

- What have you been
doing since then?

- Just went right back to work.

- It's underwater welding,
right?

- That's part of it.
Yeah.

- You have, like, literally
the most dangerous job

in the world,
and yet, you're nervous,

about to go down
these steps and talk

to a bunch of
really pretty women

and drink some margaritas
on a beach.

- Yeah, that's not
where I thrive.

Underwater in the dark,
I'm good.

- Your hands, are they--
are they shaking?

Those are not the hands
of an underwater diver.

Gosh, you're, like,
the last person I thought

that wouldn't have ice
in the veins.

- I'm shy.
- You're shy?

- It takes me a little bit
to open up.

- It's okay, dude.

Is there anybody that
you're hoping

to cross paths with
here at the beach?

- Kylee is beautiful.
- Okay.

Are we gonna click?
I don't know.

- You've got the
pregame jitters, man.

I used to feel the same way
when I played football.

What helped me was just
getting tackled once in a game.

- Yeah.
- And then it all goes.

Go down the stairs.

Seriously, ask one of the women
if they'll just tackle you,

lay you out.
- [laughs] Yeah.

Make it better.
Kylee, hit me.

- That's it.

You got a not so secret
weapon here.

And you can use that.

You can go down to the beach,
talk to some of the ladies,

see who you're connecting
with, take someone on a date,

and make it happen.

- Yeah.
- Enjoy it, man.

- I'm here to meet
somebody, hopefully.

I got more options, you know?

Someone might like me here
this time, so hopeful.

But you know, I'm not
a very smooth talker.

Jumping right in,
talking to a girl,

and hitting it off,
like, that's just--

it's not really where I thrive.

- John Henry. Yo.
- Hello.

- Hey.
- What's up, dude?

- How you been, dude?

- It's really good
to see you, man.

- He's gonna stir
some feathers.

[laughter]

- I'm so excited
to have my boy here.

But at the end of the day,
John Henry is a handsome cat.

He's super interesting too.

- Hi. I'm Kylee.

- Oh, jeez. [laughs]

- Nice to meet you.

- So John Henry's a killer,
you know?

I wouldn't want John Henry
talking to my girl.

So John Henry could
definitely shake things up.

- Kat.
- Kat?

both: Nice to meet you.

- I would be nervous
if I was the men.

I'm sure some of the guys
are like,

let me hold my girl
a little close.

Come here.
Let me put my arm around you.

You cold?
90 degree weather. You cold?

You want my shirt?

- All right,
everybody, John Henry.

And I got a date card.

- Aw, he's a little shaky.

- "John Henry.

Let's get cheeky together."

[laughter]
- Oh.

- Cheeky boy.

- So, Kat, you want to go
have a little talk?

- Yeah, sure.

[tense music]

Hi.

- Hi.

- Welcome to Paradise.

- John Henry pulls Kat
to talk.

I mean, John Henry's
a good-looking dude,

but Kat and I's relationship
is super strong right now.

I mean, we had
a great first date.

I'm feeling good.

- Who are you interested in?

- Y'all are--all of you
are beautiful.

- Yeah.

- So it's like,
the thing with me

is, like, I'm not really
gonna connect with somebody

until, like,
I get to know them.

- Right, right.

- 'Cause I'm not just gonna
go off looks.

- Everything makes
John Henry hot.

He talks,
and I don't hear what's

coming out of his mouth.

- It's hard for me to tell
right now because I haven't

really talked to anybody yet.
- Right.

- Kylee's a smoke show.

- I know her and Aven are,
like, pretty solid right now.

But hey, shoot your shot.

Do your thing.
- Yeah, I mean...

- You never know.
- We'll see.

- He has blue eyes.

He has amazing teeth,

has a nice head of hair.

I'll take that.

- Hey, Kylee.
- Hi.

- You want to go
have a little talk?

- Sure.

How are you?
- Doing good.

How are you doing?

- Good.

Welcome to Paradise.

- I forgot about
how interested he was

in Kylee before all of this.

- Really?

- Kylee and Aven,
they're pretty much locked in.

But I think after one
conversation with John Henry,

she's gonna be like,
wow, this man looks like

a poster in my room, you know?

Like, I want to see
that thing every day.

- Everyone's asking me, like,

who do you want to see
at the beach,

who you're interested in,
and you are number one.

- John Henry, you're so--
- And ever since--

- That's so sweet.

- That's why I want
to pull you aside,

because I want to let you know.
- Yeah.

- Like, Kat told me that
Kylee and Aven, like,

they're, like,
a lock every time.

- Yeah.
- It's like, hmm.

- I think it's so early.

Aven and I haven't had, like--
we've had conversations.

But you just kind of let it
flow and just go from there.

- Yeah.

- If we were to go on a date,

I would definitely be
open for it.

I think you should just
pick whoever you've had

a conversation
and you felt most

comfortable with
because you don't want

to be, like, nervous
and timid the whole time.

- Yeah. There are a lot of
people I don't know up there.

- A lot of people?
You'll get to know them.

- Yeah.

- John Henry is very charming.

He has his little
Southern swag.

He'll be like,
come here, pretty girl.

Let me take you on a date.

- Olivia?

- Hi.

- What's up, man?

- What's going on, dude?

I've never talked
to you before.

We're gonna get to,

I guess, hopefully.
- Well.

All right. You ready?

potentially having,

like, a spark, yeah,
it makes me nervous.

It absolutely does, you know?

person on the beach,

I don't know you either.

I went home night one,

so yeah, you know.

Right now I work as a tech,

very early.

so much more

I missed her.

Not getting a rose potentially

to kiss her tonight.

I just hope that moment arises.

I thought I was

And then when you went
on the date,

I think that made me feel more,

- I honestly don't
have any clue

where a rose could
come from tonight.

I'm hurt by how
it turned out, you know?

I feel like
I was used last week.

And so if I don't get
a rose tonight,

I'd definitely be upset.

I'd be bummed.

But anything can happen.

And I mean,
there could be a spark

that, like, is there that
I just haven't been aware of.

- Hey, girls.

- Hello.

- Hey.

- Hello.

- It's the second
Rose Ceremony.

Ladies have the roses tonight.

- Hey, beautiful.
How you doing?

- You look so good.

I've got Peter and John Henry.

And they are neck and neck.

I have two stand-up,
grade-A men

in their own unique
totally different way.

What does Olivia do?

What do I do?

- [sighs] I'm so sweaty.

I think that I have to have
a few conversations tonight

because I don't,
like, 100% fully know

where my rose is going.

With Will, I feel like I have
an emotional connection.

And then with Tyler,
like, I get so excited

and giddy around him.

But it's--it's crazy,

'cause it's
the complete opposite.

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey.

Good evening, everybody.

How are we all feeling?
- Good.

- Good.
- Good.

Well, I know week two,

there's been a lot
of twists and turns.

And I know that
some of you are already

starting to form some really
strong romantic connections.

I think for some others,
it felt like you were going

down the right path,
and then everything just

blew up in your face this week.

- Aaron S., I know it seemed
like you were really

starting to establish a strong
emotional connection with Sam.

Unfortunately,
she had to leave Paradise.

I'm sorry for you that
that happened.

I'm also really sorry
for Sam too.

I know she wasn't
expecting that either.

I do have an update on Sam,
by the way.

And I really don't know
how to say this,

so I'll just say it.

Sam has not pooped yet.

- No.

No.
- So she's doing okay.

But there's been no movement
with respect to that just yet.

Um, I know this week as well,
my buddy, Wells,

he introduced his
Paradise Truth Box to you all.

And I think this is
just a way for Wells

to really kick start some
of these relationships.

He's trying to help you all
get to the truth.

So I hope you were all
able to anonymously

write some notes,
maybe some suggestions,

put them in the box.

So we'll get this
party started.

Have fun.

See you all
at the Rose Ceremony.

- Bye, Jesse.
- Good luck, everyone.

- I think the Truth Box is
gonna be interesting.

I'm kind at the edge
of my seat to hear.

I feel like people's toes
are gonna be stepped on.

This is just gonna start
a storm.

And I don't know
if Paradise is ready for it.

Things might go down.

- What's up, Wells?

- What up?
- How we doing?

- Living the dream, baby.

- You're reading
that box tonight or what?

- It's funny you say that.
- Oh.

- All right, everybody.

Gather around the bar,
if you wouldn't mind.

Over here. Come on, guys.

Over here real quick.

- I think there's a lot
of holding back

here in Paradise so far.

So I'm hoping that
this Truth Box

kind of opens people up a bit

to explore their true feelings.

- There are some really
juicy ones in the box

that we'll get to later.

But I thought
I would read a couple

to start the night off.

- Let's do it.
- You guys ready?

- Yeah. Let's do it.

- Oh, God.
- All right.

The first one,

"Stop serving
half shots of tequila."

[laughter]

- Brayden?
- Bro, I wasn't--

- Really?
- I'm sorry.

- This one says, "Brayden
and Rachel should make out."

- Ooh.
- Sheesh.

- Spicy.
- Ooh.

[laughter]

- "Raise your hand if you have
an uncircumcised penis."

- [gasps]
- Oh, my God.

- I do.
- [laughs]

- There's an extra
few millimeters.

That's all I'm saying.

[laughter]

- Hey. Hey.

Every inch counts, buddy.

- We're literally
farting around reading,

you know, just a couple
of the Truth Box facts.

There's a box full of them
that need to be read,

because no one's talking
to anybody.

Hey, Wells.
- Yeah?

- I kind of want
to interrupt you here

a little bit.
- Okay.

- Some of these are
pretty surface.

And I think I kind of want
to take this box here,

and I want to open
this thing up.

- Okay.
- Oh, my God. What do you mean?

What do you mean?
What is he doing?

- If this is my last night,
I'll happily

go home with two
middle fingers in the air.

Let's get this party started.

- [gasps]

- Let's go!

- [laughs]
- That's messed up.

- Is this real life?

Aaron is literally
smashing a box,

like, just being chaotic.

Like, five of you
are going home.

Why are you acting
like you need

to be back in middle school?

- I carved that from
a single piece of driftwood.

- Oh, baby.

That was the kerosene.

- Let's get the real
juicy stuff out of the way.

- Let's do it. Yeah.
Let's read them all.

- When he broke it,
I was just like, dude,

[bleep] about to go down.

- Hey. You broke it.

You read it.

- All right.
- Oh, my God.

- This note reads--ooh--
"Kat played Brayden."

- [gasps]
- Ooh.

- Oh. Whoa.

- Getting spicy.

- Yikes.

Uh, "Tanner should
watch out for Kat."

- This is really dark.

This is really dark.

- Well, all y'all wrote this.

- I'm not sure
who would write that.

But at the end of the day,
I'm confident in, like,

where I'm at and how I've
handled everything this week.

Brayden offered me my rose.

Tanner asked me on the date.

And I've been nothing
but honest throughout.

I'm sorry if you don't like
what happened,

but like, have some respect.

This is stupid.

Literally, I can't.

This is literally dumb.

Kat is actually looking out

for Jess like she thinks."

since the beginning.

And do I have hives yet?

Probably.
- No, you look fantastic.

You okay?

- I'm good with where I'm at
because of just,

like, how I feel
like I've handled it.

I was nothing but honest.

- Brayden feels
blindsided completely.

- I understand.

No, I don't understand that.

But I've heard he's said that.

- So we were in the pool
the other day,

and he was telling me
about the situation.

- Okay.

- And he told me
to be careful about you.

- He told you
to be careful about me?

- And he said things were
going really great between us,

and it was a complete 180
out of nowhere.

So he said just be careful.

- And I mean, that's his
opinion, but that's just false.

Brayden didn't want to accept
what I said to him.

And maybe that's been
misinterpreted

amongst the boys,
which is classic.

So I feel like that's been
a theme here lately.

But I'm putting my energy
towards continuing

to grow the amazing
connection that I started

in the beginning
of the week with Tanner.

- I know how me and you are
right now.

It's probably pretty
similar to how

you and Brayden were before.
- Of course I was.

I don't--I'm not someone
that, like, switches it up.

Like, you know--
you see what you get.

- But when it
keeps resurfacing,

then I'm like, okay,
well, should I be cautious?

Is that gonna happen to me?

- What is going on?

I feel like
I've shown myself very well,

but it is what it is.

If Tanner's opinion
wants to be based

off of what
these boys are saying,

then that's his problem.

Okay.

But you know what?
Look at Aaron S.

He's been talking
behind my back to everyone.

Get your [bleep] together.

Be mature men.

Brayden decided to lean in

when I was not fully in.

That's on Brayden.

If you guys don't agree,
then that's fine.

But like, I'm good
with where I'm at.

- You know that I'm, like,
Brayden's best friend.

I just want to know from you
if there was any way

you would handle that
situation any differently,

knowing that
he gave you a rose.

And it seemed like
you cut him out right away.

- To be honest,
I just don't really feel

like I have to answer to you
in any capacity.

Why are we still talking
about something

that [bleep] happened days ago?

I could give a [bleep]

what the weird men
on this beach think of me.

I literally don't care.

I don't need to [bleep] talk
to toxic men!

- You're so closed off.

I'm not gonna have
a one-sided conversation.

- See, that's not what I said.

- I'm serving
a tennis ball to you,

allowing you to talk
about something

that's bothering me--
not Brayden, bothering me.

- Okay.
- Are you telling me I have

no right to just come up to you

and say, hey,
this is bothering me?

- I did not say that
you didn't deserve an answer.

I said I don't feel like I
need to explain myself to you.

So listen to what people say
before you speak on things.

That's how things get twisted.

And that's why I'm not gonna
sit here and acknowledge this.

I don't need to explain
anything else to you.

You can literally [bleep] off.

Why would I care?

You can ask me whatever
questions you want.

That does not mean
I need to answer them.

Go [bleep] hang out
with the crabs.

I don't have time for it.

I don't care to put any
more energy towards it.

- Okay.

confirmed everything that

I've thought about you.
That's great.

There's a reason
you're single at 33.

We all came here
to establish connections.

I'm sorry if you don't like
the way it was done.

I know that I'm a graceful
