After the pair kissed, Genevieve Parisi, watching from a close distance, told her girlfriends, "I bet that they're gonna get engaged."
And Andrew Spencer and Teddi Wright went on a date. The pair had been looking forward to meeting each other in Paradise, but the anticipation resulted in Andrew being a bundle of nerves and having trouble coming up with conversation.
Michael Allio also found a connection with Sierra Jackson.
Sierra told Michael that she was only interested in him, and Michael said she's an old soul, which was hard to find. Michael thought she was beautiful with glowing skin and has a toxic and contagious presence about her. He said he felt comfortable around Sierra, like they had known each other for years.
"As much as I want to jump in full force, I am guarded. But I can see a total future with her. I do, I can really see something," Michael shared in a confessional.

But there was already drama in Paradise just a day or two in. Romeo Alexander had two women fighting over him, Jill Chin and Kira Mengistu.
And Shanae Ankney had the other women from Clayton Echard's The Bachelor season nervous about how she was going to act and if she was going to steal a man from one of them.
Shanae made out with Jacob Rapini, but previews suggest he's not going to be the only guy she's interested in.
Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams teased of what's to come in an interview with Us Weekly, "It's got all the things that everyone loves about Paradise."
"There's a lot of crabs. There's a lot of crying," Wells said. "There's a lot of suitcases being dragged through the sand and then there's the things that everyone loves. There's the comedy, the makeout sessions, the Boom-Boom Room, [and] you know, the love at the end of it."

Wells joked about how some "weirdos" got together, couples whom he never anticipated or predicted would come together. And he also called Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season the show's "sexiest" yet.
"Everyone's in the best shape they've ever been in... and this season is the sexiest season that we've ever had. I think everyone's gonna be excited about that," Wells said.
Andrew previously told People how the show's eighth season was "life-changing" for him and "takes off at a high speed" that "doesn't stop."
And Serene recently teased how it's going to be the "most dramatic" season yet.

We've been changing things up and it's hard to keep track of it all, to be honest."
Jesse said the show was already "amazing" at that point, adding how he was "having so much fun."
"I always wondered as a fan of the show, 'How paradise-y was Paradise?' And I can tell you, it is so much fun. It really is paradise. This place is magic," Jesse gushed.

Salley Carson made another brief appearance
Salley, who made a brief appearance on The Bachelor's 26th season starring Clayton Echard, joined Bachelor in Paradise's Season 8 cast after the first Rose Ceremony wrapped.Salley decided to leave before receiving much screentime.

Rachel Recchia shows up in Paradise
During The Bachelorette's Season 19 finale, a promo of Bachelor in Paradise's season featured Rachel Recchia making an appearance at the Paradise resort in Mexico."He is so great. He really is. I'm going to cry because I'm so happy!" Rachel gushes to her girlfriends.
When asked in what capacity she'll be a part of the show, Rachel told Variety in a recent interview, "They're going to tune in and find out... I definitely make an appearance on the beach. What happens? Everyone will just have to wait and see, but it’s definitely crazy down there."
However given the Bachelor in Paradise season was filmed after Rachel got engaged to Tino Franco at The Bachelorette Season 19's final Rose Ceremony in May but before Rachel and Tino subsequently split up in August, Rachel didn't go to Paradise looking to find love.

Rachel's Bachelor in Paradise appearance was then presumably just a guest appearance in which she hosted a date or visited her fellow former The Bachelor and The Bachelorette castmates.
The Bachelor in Paradise season features a shocking new twist
A trailer for Bachelor in Paradise shows host Jesse Palmer telling the cast "a shocking twist" was about to be unleashed and the women need to "go pack your bags."After the women's unexpected and abrupt exit from the Bachelor in Paradise resort, the bachelorettes shouted over their hotel balcony, "F-ck you, Jesse Palmer!"
Before the third Rose Ceremony filmed, Bachelor in Paradise reportedly unleashed a new twist similar to the "Casa Amor" twist that was featured on the CBS seasons of Love Island.
The "Casa Amor"-like twist sends one gender of cast members over to a different villa where they meet a brand-new group of singles of the opposite sex, ultimately putting the bonds and romances of pre-existing couples to the test.
Paradise reportedly sent its bachelorettes to a new location in Mexico, where they were introduced to Tyler Norris, Alex Bordyukov, Rick Leach, Olumide "Olu" Onajide, and Adam Todd from The Bachelorette: Australia's sixth season.

Meanwhile, five new women were brought in to meet the Paradise guys, who remained at the season's original resort.
The five women who joined the show as part of the new twist were reportedly Sarah Hamrick, Kate Gallivan, Eliza Isichei, Jessenia Cruz, and Florence Moerenhout from Bachelor in Paradise: Australia's first two seasons.
The cast allegedly got "angry" about the twist
Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams told Us Weekly that production tried "some things this year" they hadn't in the past."From where I sat, I loved it. Now, the cast did not like it very much," Wells admitted to the magazine.
"You'll see a lot of cast members be kind of angry at some of the things we throw at [them] this year, but it's a fun show and, you know, I guess it's a testament to, like, how much ABC believes in the show."
Eliza Isichei ends up in a love triangle
Amid the "Casa Amor"-like twist, Justin was able to return to the beach -- it's unclear why he was allowed to -- and took interest in Eliza.ADVERTISEMENT
But Rodney Mathews also set his eyes on Eliza during the twist. He broke up with Lace for a shot at love with Eliza.
Eliza chose to give Rodney a rose and walk Justin out during the third Rose Ceremony.
Once she returned to Bachelor in Paradise's beach, however, Eliza told Rodney that she felt pressured to give him a rose. She therefore self-eliminates instead of pursuing a romance with Rodney.
The women handed out the roses again at the third Rose Ceremony
At the third Rose Ceremony of Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season, the women gave out the roses.Olu and Rick were sent home after the "Casa Amor"-like twist because they failed to find connections.
Alex and Adam were also eliminated after the twist.

Kate Gallivan reportedly emerged as a villain during the Bachelor in Paradise season.
Jacob Rapini left Jill Chin for Kate, which sent Jill home, but then Kate began dating Logan Palmer.
Sarah Hamrick reportedly left the beach because her grandmother died, not for a lack of romantic options.
The last three women who entered Paradise were Mara Agreat, Ency Abedin, and Lyndsey Windham, all from Clayton's The Bachelor season.
