According to a preview of what's to come, Eliza's heart is so torn between the two men that she threatens to quit the show and leave Paradise.
But many couples are falling in love -- or at least they're on the verge.
Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo are full steam ahead after she dumped her "dream" man, Alex Bordyukov.
Genevieve Parisi and Aaron Clancy finally expressed their strong feelings for one another after a blowout fight, and Michael Allio admitted Danielle Maltby is his "perfect match" and he can't wait to see where things go between them.
As for Brandon Jones and Serene Russell, they have been the strongest couple in Paradise from the start. Nothing has stood in their way, not even "The Split" twist.

And Andrew Spencer and Jessenia Cruz have also locked eyes on each other, although their romance has yet to be tested. The same situation applies to Tyler Norris and Brittany Galvin.
Meanwhile, a wave of new male arrivals turned up the heat in Paradise.
Twins Justin Young and Joey Young, 24, stepped foot on the beach and whisked away Shanae Ankney, 30, and Florence Moerenhout, 32, on dates.
While the women initially got "fratboy vibes" from the young men and poked fun at the fact they were going to look like cougars, Shanae really hit it off with Joey.
"I've been exploring multiple guys here, and I haven't had that deep connection like what I had with Joey. What I'm feeling right now is 100 percent different from other dates I've been on... [I want to] keep connecting and get to know him," Shanae gushed.

And Florence also made a surprising strong connection with Justin.
Logan Palmer and Kate Gallivan were also thriving until Hayden Markowitz crashed the beach and asked Kate out on a date. While Logan worried about Kate leaving him, Kate realized she had made a mistake by giving Hayden the time of day.
Based on a preview of what's to come, Logan and Kate are going to have to confront their feelings for each other and what they want their romance to be.

Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season was filmed in June
Even though Season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise is the first season of the show to air as part of ABC's fall schedule rather than its usual late-summer scheduling, the Paradise season was still filmed in June similar to prior seasons.ADVERTISEMENT
The production schedule means that Bachelor in Paradise's Season 8 final Rose Ceremony couples will have spent nearly four months navigating their relationships in "the real world" by the time the season finale airs on ABC -- longer than any other Bachelor in Paradise season!
Bachelor in Paradise host Jesse Palmer took to Instagram on June 9 and posted a photo of himself posing next to an "open" sign on a beach decorated with blankets, vases and lights.
"With the power vested in me, I now officially declare Paradise OPEN!!!" Jesse captioned the image, announcing that Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season had begun production.
Bachelor in Paradise reportedly wrapped filming during the week of June 30.
Bachelor in Paradise's Season 8 reunion was then filmed in Los Angeles on November 4.

Jesse Palmer called the Bachelor in Paradise season "crazy"
"It's insane down here. It's absolutely crazy," Jesse told Us Weekly while the season was still filming."There's all these people. There is just so much chaos, so much drama, and never-before-seen things down here taking place in Paradise... And we've been switching things up. 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.
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.ADVERTISEMENT
"He is so great. He really is. I'm going to cry because I'm so happy!" Rachel gushes to her girlfriends in the clip.
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 presumably just a guest appearance in which she hosted a date or visited her fellow former The Bachelor and The Bachelorette castmates.
Eliza Isichei gives Rodney Mathews a rose but then quits
As Bachelor in Paradise viewers saw on the season's October 31 episode, Justin Glaze was able to return to the beach after the third Rose Ceremony and he took interest in Eliza Isichei.But Rodney Mathews had his heart set on Eliza after dumping Lace Morris to be with her, leaving Eliza in a love triangle.
Eliza reportedly eventually chose to give Rodney a rose and walk Justin out at the season's fourth Rose Ceremony.
However, the next morning, Eliza allegedly realized she had made a mistake, and she told Rodney that she had felt pressure to give him the rose.
Eliza decided to quit Paradise instead of pursuing a romance with Rodney.
After Eliza quits she flies to see Justin and ask for another chance
Eliza flew to Baltimore to ask Justin for another chance after she quit Bachelor in Paradise, according to Carbone.But Justin rejected Eliza on-camera, claiming he wants to be with a woman who's "all in."
Carbone reported on November 5 that Justin and Eliza, however, continued talking for hours after Justin said "no" and the cameras left.

The pair then decided to meet up in Los Angeles, but Eliza allegedly ghosted him.
Eliza claimed she ditched Justin because he didn't contact her until around 11PM when he got there.

Shanae Ankney, Florence Moerenhout, and Mara Agreat reportedly ended up in a five-way love triangle with twins Joey Young and Justin Young.And when Lyndsey arrived on the beach, she reportedly asked Logan Palmer out because there weren't many options left.

Victoria and Johnny reportedly broke up after she cheated on him!
Carbone revealed in an October 25 blog posting that Victoria and Johnny reportedly split in early September.Rumors have recently been swirling that Victoria cheated on Johnny, and two Bachelor Nation sources have told YouTuber Dave Neal that Victoria cheated on Johnny TWICE!
One of the men Victoria had cheated on Johnny with is allegedly The Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo, who competed for Katie Thurston's heart on the show's seventeenth season.
Carbone said he hasn't heard anything about the cheating allegations, but in late October, Johnny added to the rumor mill by posting on his Instagram Stories how he's "unwell."
Victoria is reportedly dating former The Bachelorette bachelor Greg Grippo now
On October 21, a Bachelor Nation fan claimed to have seen Victoria and Greg together while she was visiting The Colosseum in Rome, Italy.A second fan then also claimed to have seen Victoria and Greg walking a quiet street while enjoying her honeymoon in Capri, an Italian island that is only a couple of hours away from Rome by train and ferry.
ADVERTISEMENT
Unfortunately neither fan was able to take a good photo or video showing the faces of the alleged couple, leaving the legitimacy of the claims uncertain.
"I did hear 2 weeks ago 'rumblings' about Victoria and Greg being involved together in some capacity," Carbone wrote in his October 25 blog posting.
Carbone had heard there is "definitely" something going on between Victoria and Greg and they're "in communication."
The spoiler blogger explained, "All I know is they are definitely in contact since her breakup with Johnny. Whether it played a role in the breakup I'm not sure."
But later on October 25, Carbone tweeted a new update that he had now confirmed Victoria and Greg were indeed in Italy together.
"(SPOILER NOW CONFIRMED): Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo in Rome today near the Trevi fountain. Video coming soon," he wrote.

Carbone then proceeded to post a video which appeared to show Victoria and Greg each dressed very casually and attempting to obscure their appearances.
The Roman fountain footage represented a big wardrobe change from the earlier photo that allegedly showed Victoria and Greg in Capri.
On October 26, Carbone tweeted out an additional photo taken earlier that day which showed Victoria and Greg at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome.
"For those who STILL didn't believe that was Greg and Victoria in Italy... here's another. On the shuttle at FCO airport in Italy at 10am local time this morning," he wrote.
"Just so we're clear, Victoria & Greg are back in the states now," he added in a pair of followup tweets. "They flew from Rome to Newark this morning and landed about 90 minutes ago. She's headed back to Nashville now."
"So when she inevitably posts something from home either later tonight or tmrw, save your 'See, she's in Nashville' takes. I don't know why some of you are having a hard time accepting they were in Italy this past wknd until today when they flew home."
Victoria and Greg's faces were clearly visible in the photo, which appeared to have been taken by another passenger on the same shuttle.
Greg also recently left a flirty "good girl" comment on one of Victoria's Instagram posts, which he quickly deleted.
And The Bachelor alum Nick Viall posted a TikTok video of Victoria kissing Greg on the cheek at the dinner table during a Bachelor Nation game night with Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt.
Johnny and Victoria argue at the reunion
Johnny said he and Victoria were in couples' counseling for three weeks after filming ended."Victoria said Johnny called her a stupid c**t and she claimed he told her she didn't cook or clean so what good was she as a woman," Carbone tweeted on November 5.
Johnny admitted he said things he shouldn't have and regretted it, but he denied ever calling Victoria the awful C-word.
(ADVERTISEMENT)
According to Carbone, Johnny said he didn't want to air dirty laundry but Victoria allegedly threw a wine glass at him and told him that she was out of his league.
Tyler Norris announced he heard from a reporter that Victoria had cheated on Johnny at a party in Los Angeles and she was telling people that she's "very much single."
"Victoria went off and started yelling at Tyler telling him to be quiet and this didn't involve him," Carbone tweeted on November 5.
Victoria claimed she and Greg were talking pre-Paradise but it was nothing serious. Victoria apparently told Johnny about this but then Johnny caught Greg texting Victoria.
"She assured him she & Greg were just friends. Johnny found out [through] social media about the Italy trip," Carbone tweeted.
Greg appears on the reunion with Victoria!
After Victoria and Johnny sat onstage together at the Paradise reunion, Johnny left and then Greg joined Victoria.The pair got matching tattoos in Italy -- the word "hot" in Italian on their arms.
