Paradise’s de facto therapist shares his thoughts on all of the night-one drama.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, this is your fifth season behind the bar.
What’s on your must-pack list for Paradise?
Wells Adams raises a glass on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’.ABC
WELLS ADAMS:Listerine strips!
You don’t want dragon breath when you’re going in for the big kiss.
But most importantly, an open mind.
So keep an open mind.
The best relationships that have come out of Paradise are always the ones that no one could see coming.
What drink were you making the most on night one of Paradise?
I think it was tequila shots and margaritas.
But everyone’s favorite drink by the end of paradise is always the “Jorge Special.”
That was Jorge’s (the original bartender) special drink, and everyone loves it.
It’s basically a vodka soda with a splash of Sprite and cucumbers.
It’s really refreshing on those hot days.
In general, how do you handle all the second-hand embarrassment?
I’m cringing while watching from home but you’re right in the midst of all the ridiculousness!
Usually I just slowly bend down below the bar and wait for it to finish.
Or I sit back and try not to laugh.
I don’t want anyone to feel embarrassed.
HostJesse Palmertold us that unlike the contestants, he stays somewhere with air conditioning.
Does that luxury extend to you, or do they make you sleep under the bar?
Well, poor Jesse needs AC.
But yes, I have AC in my room.
And I am forever grateful for it!
Will fell in the pool during his date with Kylee.
Ugh, I feltsoooobad for him when he came back and told me that story.
Will is such a sweet guy and you could tell he was really embarrassed.
Listen, I’m not one to kink-shame anyone.
Never yuck anyone’s yum!
But let’s just get some bleach and a pumice stone first.
Finally, give us a tease of what viewers can expect from the Paradise Truth Box.
It’s going to cause a lot of chaos.
Viewers are also probably going to see me fixing it a bunch, ‘cuz people keep breaking it!
