Episode notes

Bachelor in Paradise is BACK with sexy new cameras, fresh format twists, and a HUGE change... no more “Almost Paradise” theme song?! Wells is sharing all the behind-the-scenes from his return as the Bartender this season. Good Morning America might not have remembered his name, but after this season’s BIP interviews… no one will forget him!

Today is a special one because not only is Brandi in town recording from Wells’ new Masters-themed studio, but Wells’ mom is also visiting and getting her first taste of ChatGPT — aka “Smarty Pants,” the 14-year-old AI boy who is way too friendly.

We also get Wells' take on things we should and shouldn’t be taught to worry about and a certain 2025 phrase that must be stopped! They’ve even got some favorite things, bros! Brandi finished The Better Sister, started We Were Liars, and Wells’ stepdad discovered a sleeper classic called Tortilla Soup.

And the cherry on top? We’re blessed with a sneak peek of Brandi’s remix of Kelsea Ballerini’s song, Penthouse.
