The Season 10 premiere of Bachelor in Paradise introduced a mix of drama, unexpected arrivals, and love triangles. Contestants faced significant dilemmas, including a competition element with major stakes. Sam McKinney experienced an early exit after a romantic episode with Jess Edwards, who chose to keep her initial connection. He reflected on his experience with hopes for future love and now enjoys family time. Meanwhile, Hakeem Moulton expressed optimism for finding love, staying engaged with fans and Bachelor Nation, and commenting on potential leads for future seasons.
"I didn't find what I was looking for here in Paradise. But you gotta keep the main thing, the main thing," Sam said upon his exit, repeating his mantra from Jenn's season. "And what I think I was able to do was show a different side of me, and I hope it opens up the door to my person later on down the road."
"I know the person that is out there for me is going to love everything about me," Hakeem said. "I am who I am. That is so OK! I'm not afraid to show that."
As Jesse Palmer asks in a peek ahead at the rest of the season, 'You have to make your most important decision. Half a million dollars, or is it love?"
Sam has been leaning into family time, embracing his role as an uncle. 'I swear this kid has made me softer than baby sh*t,' he joked in a recent post.
