WELLS ADAMS:There are no rules in Paradise.

Actually, there is only one.

And that rule is never, and I mean NEVER tell anyone it’s your birthday.

It’s always the kiss of death.

It’s like these kids haven’t watched the show before!

What do you think of how Tanner handled it when Davia asked him on a date?

Should he have talked to Kat before saying yes?

It’s funny how things tend to come back around in Paradise!

This week, Sam fromBIPCanada arrived on the beach.

No one knew anything about her would you say that’s an advantage or a disadvantage for her?

I think it’s an advantage.

I know I have.

Sometimes it’s nice for people to have zero expectations.

It kind of takes the pressure off.

Also, Sam is awesome!

Just such a good vibe to be around.

Did I use the word “vibe” right there?

Rachel and Brayden became human pinatas on their date.

I hosted the human burrito date, and I have to say, it was a lot of fun!

And you get to have a little snack after.

So, I’d go with food ones!

In retrospect, it seems like wood was the wrong material for the Truth Box.

Next season, if it comes back, what should it be made of?

You’re telling me!

It’s more gaff tape than hickory at this point.

I don’t know, hardened steel?
