Four men sent home after a dramatic beach game

In the season’s first rose ceremony, the women were in control. Before that, the group played a beach game where they rated each other’s anonymous confessions. A disagreement between Hakeem and Ricky about the word “vanilla” led to tensions and may have cost them roses.

At the end of night one, four men were eliminated:

Hakeem Moulton

Kyle Howard

Ricky Marinez

Sam McKinney

Who’s coupled up after Episode 1?

Three men, Justin, Dale and Sam, received date cards. Justin chose Lexi, Dale took Kat, and Sam (a late arrival) invited Jess, despite her connection with Spencer. Jess ultimately gave her rose to Spencer, ending that triangle.

The official couples from Week 1 were:

Lexi and Justin

Zoe and Brian

Kat and Dale

Jess and Spencer

Bailey and Jeremy
