'Bachelor in Paradise' bartender Wells Adams reveals drink requests
They're old-fashioned. 'Bachelor in Paradise' bartender Wells Adams revealed the drink requests he received from senior contestants competing on the show this season. 'They drink like old people drink, which is like, 'I need two fingers of Glenlivet. I need some Chablis mixed in with some Mylanta,'' he told The Post. This is the first summer 'BiP' welcomed alums of the franchise's spinoffs for seniors, 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'The Golden Bachelorette,' ranging in age from 62 to 72 — and Adams, 41, raised a glass to their traditional taste. 'They drink like people should drink, which is like old school. I appreciate it,' he said. 4 Wells Adams has been serving up drinks on 'Bachelor in Paradise' since 2017. Disney 'I made a couple of Manhattans, I made a couple martinis, I made a couple Old Fashioneds.' Adams, a California native, made his Bachelor Nation debut in 2016, when he competed on JoJo Fletcher's season of 'The Bachelorette,' landing in eighth place. [Fletcher ended up marrying his fellow contestant, Aaron Rodgers' brother, Jordan.] That same summer, he competed on 'Bachelor in Paradise' — where castoffs from 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette' mingle on the beach — and was asked to man its bar the following season, after the show's original bartender, Jorge Moreno, left. 4 Alums of 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'The Golden Bachelorette,' the spinoffs that feature senior citizens as contestants, joined 'Bachelor in Paradise' for the first time this summer. Disney He said the most popular drink in 'Paradise' amongst the 20- and 30-somethings was created by Moreno and kept the contestants — who were dating in the Costa Rican sun — cool as cucumbers. 'He had this drink called the Jorge Special . . . you cut up some cucumbers . . . then throw in some vodka, let the vodka infuse into the cucumbers, then throw in some ice, then it is soda water, splash of 7-Up or Sprite, and then garnish with a lime wedge,' he explained. 'It's so hot in 'Paradise' that that drink really, really is refreshing.' 4 'Paradise' host Jesse Palmer has started a tradition of drinking rum during the show's rose ceremonies. Disney Only one person has ordered beer in 'Paradise' — show host Jesse Palmer. 'I've only ever served four beers. They've all been to Jesse,' said Adams. He gave the former Giants quarterback — who took over 'Bachelor' franchise hosting duties after Chris Harrison stepped down — credit for changing a longstanding bubbly tradition. 'I gotta give Jesse props. You know, for years you had to come and start a rose ceremony with a glass of champagne and this year he changed things up, and it was appropriate for where we were,' he noted. 'He came with a rocks glass full of really nice rum. And so, every rose ceremony, some producer would be like, 'Hey, Jesse needs his rum.'' 4 Adams married Sarah Hyland, who developed a crush on him after seeing him on 'The Bachelorette.' Getty Images The reality star did end up meeting his wife, Sarah Hyland, through the ABC franchise, since the 'Modern Family' actress watched his season of 'The Bachelorette,' and tweeted about having a crush on him. The couple married in 2022 and Adams always makes sure to keep up with his other half's drink of choice, which has changed over the years. 'I made her a spicy cranberry margarita, she really liked that. And then I got her on Old Fashioneds and she really liked those,' he said. 'And then she maneuvered into just wanting bourbon neat cause she's a badass. She likes gin martinis as well. But rosé is her go-to drink.'

SPOILERS: Reality Steve Reveals Who Gets Engaged on ‘Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10
Bachelor in Paradise has returned like a toxic ex that you simply can't quit, and if you're in the mood for spoilers, they've arrived! We're only one episode in (BiP debuted last night, July 7th), but a lot of drama happens throughout the show—and it all culminates with tea care of longtime Bachelor Nation spoiler source Reality Steve. In an Instagram post that's truly packed with intel, Steve revealed that "none of the Goldens" (aka the older members of the cast) got engaged this season, and he's "not sure any of them are even still dating." Hate to hear that! Meanwhile, Steve reports that Jonathan Johnson and Lea Cayanan end up as "just friends" despite connecting on the show. However, several couples who exited the show left as couples—despite not getting engaged on screen. They include: Parisa Shifteh and Brian Autz, Alexe Godin and Andrew Spencer, Sean McLaughlin and Allyshia Gupta, Kat Izzo and Dale Moss, and Baily Brown and Jeremy Simon. But don't despair if you were holding out for an engagement. Steve also says that he's "pretty sure" Jess Edwards and Spencer Conley get engaged this season. In related news, it looks like the show's format has somewhat shifted, and the winning couple (potentially Jess and Spencer) get a cash prize. As Steve put it, "I think it is safe to say that the winning twosome this year does get paid. Now the question is how much do they make? What I've gathered is, it's more than Love Island, which I believe is 100-150 [thousand]. So there is going to be a winning team of Bachelor Paradise this summer, and they will get paid what that number is."

‘Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10 Premiere Recap: 4 ‘First Round Picks' Are Sent Home
After taking last summer off, Bachelor in Paradise is back — with a twist. ABC kicked off season 10 of BiP on Monday, July 7, with a three-hour premiere that introduced a new resort, quick connections and several eliminations. Us breaks it all down, with some insight from host Jesse Palmer, bartender Wells Adams and the new addition of 'Paradise Relations' Hannah Brown. The Changes The new look of Paradise is jarring (in a good way!) with the camera quality raising the bar, and making Us do a double take that we aren't watching Love Island. 'Love Island stole our idea! So I'm so sorry that we stole your cameras. You stole the IP, we just stole the technology to make it look like that,' Wells quipped to Us. Wells Adams Says 'Everything' Fans Think They Know About 'Bachelor in Paradise' Is 'About to Change' While the resort — complete with air conditioning and a swim-up bar — seems to be a hit, it didn't take long for the new climate to interfere with production as a storm cancels Justin and Lexi's date. "I have to be honest with you, I do not think that we are gonna film Paradise in Costa Rica in May again, that was monsoon season," Wells admitted to Us. "And we probably should not do that … you see in the first episode, it affects the show a lot." (Us can confirm the storms in Costa Rica were no joke — and come with no warning.) The premiere also introduced the idea that compatibility games will be incorporated into the season, with the supertease at the end of the episode showing physical (and almost Survivor-esque?) competitions too. Jesse also dropped a cryptic tease to the cast — 'We hope to offer our best and our strongest couples a life-changing opportunity' — that may be related to the $500,000 bag of money briefly shown in the trailer?! 'There's more twists and turns coming,' Jesse teased to Us. The Initial Connections After naming each other in respective interviews with Us as the person they hoped to see on the show, Jess and Spencer got their wish – and quickly sealed their connection with the first kiss of Paradise. While she was briefly interested in Sam M. in the premiere, Jess ultimately picked Spencer. 'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10 Cast Revealed With 'Housewives'-Style Taglines "I saw it pretty instantly that they have this connection and they really got along from the get-go," Hannah told Us. "I feel like Spencer's one of those people [who] really knows he wants something and he's completely locked in. But Jess has had harder relationships in her past, so being able to date someone like Spencer and see if that's actually what she wants, it's really interesting kind of seeing her navigate that through the season. They're both really great people and watching both their love stories is going to be really sweet." While Dale was a hot commodity when he first arrived — on a yacht! – he took Kat on a date. The twosome hit it off and based on the trailer, their relationship will give Us plenty to talk about. "She definitely has her eye on Dale," Jesse told Us. "[Dale's arrival] was women's swooning and men nervous." After a quick love triangle between Jeremy, Kyle and Bailey, she picked Jeremy at the rose ceremony. Other initial pairings include Lexi and Justin, Zoe and Brian and Jonathan and Alexe. The Exits With the women in power, there are four men — Sam, Hakeem, Kyle and Ricky — dumped, err eliminated (oops, reminder that we're not watching Love Island!) in the premiere. Hakeem and Ricky, for their parts, sealed their fates when they got into a fight during the first 'game' about identifying your own red flags. When Ricky suggested that Hakeem wrote 'vanilla' answers — seemingly to ensure less red stickers? — things escalated. The argument, which turned into the two men fighting over the definition of calling something vanilla, confused Us and their fellow beachgoers. Wells Adams Hopeful for Age-Gap Romances on 'BiP': 'Look at Bill Belichick,' Jesse Palmer Reacts When asked about the four men who went home, Jesse told Us: "That's a lot of first round picks. It was surprising to a lot of people. It's hard to single anybody out, but what I appreciate about the producers is they just let reality happen and they let reality be reality. Whoever goes home goes home." Jesse believes that there "are a lot of shows" that might have producers step in to "make sure a certain person stays on a little bit longer because you have a plan or you think it's gonna boost ratings," but that wasn't the case this year on BiP. "I feel like there was a concerted effort to just hands off. If it happens, it happens. And listen, being at the rose ceremonies, there were times where I, my own mind thought, 'Don't send him home. Are we really gonna lose him?'' he said. Wells, meanwhile, was disappointed to see Jenn Tran's villain, Sam M., gone so soon. 'I really wanted to see Sam because Paradise is such a redemptive story for a lot of people. I feel like he deserved it,' Wells said. 'Yeah, he said, 'the main thing was the main thing' too much and had that bad radio date [on Jenn's season], but he [also] called out Devin and no one believed him and he was kind of right. I feel like he deserved better than that. He's really handsome and has a cool story and isn't a guy, like, selling stuff on Instagram. He has a business. I was rooting for him.' Bachelor in Paradise airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
