“That was the most awkward thing I think I’ve ever been a part of in Paradise.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This week, Jordan and Taylor arrived in Paradise without a date card.
What advice would you give to contestants who show up on the beach so late?

Jesse Palmer, Katie Thurston, and Wells Adams on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’.ABC
My advice always is to have a go at be as outgoing as possible.
Rachel and Jordan had a date do-over this week.
With that being said, Jordan has gotten two really cool first dates.
I had a slide around in some weird tepid pool while strangers watched me flail about.
Aaron surprised Eliza with a tray of pastries and asked her to be his girlfriend.
Huge opportunity missed for a great callback, Aaron!
But as they are the first official relationship in Paradise this year, I’ll take it!
Afterthe Truth Box revelation, Mercedes realized she and Tyler were “coasting” as a couple.
When she tried to raise those concerns with him, it didn’t go well.
What do you think they each could have done better in that conversation?
They both probably need to be a little more honest with one another.
Do you think Tanner’s joke crossed the line?
Yes, that was the most awkward thing I think I’ve ever been a part of in Paradise.
Here’s the thing, the roast could have been a lot worse.
As bad as it was, everyone got off easy.
Finally, Katie’s appearance in Paradise really shook Blake up and he started questioning his relationship with Jess.
In your opinion, was he thinking clearly at that moment or overreacting?
I’m really impressed with how he handled that situation.
I would have been much less composed.
It’s one of those things that probably should have been done long ago.
Bachelor in Paradiseairs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
