TheBlake dramacontinued on Monday’sBachelor in Paradise— and a few new men were added to the mix.
The episode kicked off withParadiseseason 6’s first rose ceremony, in which the cast wondered whose rose Hannah G. would accept after finding early connections withBlake, 30, and Dylan. Dylan, 24, asked her first, so Hannah, also 24, went with him this week, and Blake ended up giving his rose to Tayshia, who he’d gone on a date withon the first day. But the 28-year-old wasn’t exactly feeling Blake.
“There’s no way I can trust him,” she said in an on-camera interview.
The inaugural rose ceremony resulted in Bibiana, Annaliese and Jane being sent packing.
Just as quickly as contestants leave the beach,Paradiseimports new options. Monday night’s first newcomer: Jordan from Becca Kufrin’s season ofThe Bachelorette. He’d gottenengaged to JennaduringBiPseason 5 — but broke things off with her upon learning she’dallegedly been seeing another man.

Despite last summer’s heartbreak, Jordan, 27, came in with incomparable confidence. Armed with a date card, Jordan pulled aside Hannah, Nicole and Kristina, and quickly learned about themess that Blake created. But Jordan didn’t let his No. 1 choice Hannah’s involvement with two other men stop him from asking her on a date.
“This is my beach and on my la playa, I do as I please,” Jordan told the cameras. “So if Hannah’s the one that I want to take on this date, Hannah’s going.”
Hannah initially agreed, but then backtracked because, “I can’t date three people,” she told the male model.
For this, Jordan blamed Blake. “I just came back to my beach and talked to a couple of girls and they’re all tearing up over this attachment to Blake,” he said. “So Blake’s the problem. He’s just leading them all on and he thinks that that’s not hurting anybody, but in the end, that’s gonna hurt several people. Not for long. This has got to be put to an end because in my position as the mayor, I’m here to look out for the community. I’m disappointed. I didn’t come toBlake in Paradiseseason 1. This isBachelor in Paradiseseason 6.”
So Jordan confronted Blake. “I just walked intoParadiseand on my f—ing beach — this is my beach — and got turned down on a date,” he began.
After their conversation, all Jordan wanted was one woman to go out with him. “I’m the mayor ofParadise,” he told to the cameras. “I just want to go on a date.”
“He surprised me so much today,” Nicole told the cameras. “I was like, wait he’s a normal guy?”

Big Mike in the House
“It took me some time to make a complete decision,” Mike, 31, told the longtime host before descending the stairs with a date card. “The point of going onThe Bachelorettewas to find love. I kind of got blindsided a little bit so I had to make sure that my heart was ready, my mind was ready. I feel that I am completely ready and excited for what’s to come.”
Mike quickly caught Onyeka’s eye, and he grabbed both her andCaelynnto chat before making his decision. He ended up choosing Caelynn, 23, for the date, and the two connected during a romantic evening together.
“This may very well be our last first date,” Mike said in an on-camera interview.

Caelynn also felt strongly for Mike right off the bat and putthe Blake situationfrom last week firmly in the past.
“Mike makes me giddy,” she said. “Mike makes me smile and I have not felt this giddy and this happy inParadise. I expected him to be great, but he’s even exceeded those expectations.”
Back on the sand, Hannah found herself still caught up in Blake’s tangled web of love. He asked her to talk and told Hannah that he was “all in” on their relationship. “I wouldn’t be saying the things I’m saying unless I see something past paradise,” Blake insisted.

“I just kind of want to focus on Hannah,” he told Blake in front of Hannah.
Blake retorted, “I’ve expressed to her now that I clear[ed] all that up, and I am here for her and I’m pursuing her man.”
Dylan retreated and said under his breath, “That dude is a psycho.”
Hannah’s choice to stay with Blake disenchantedtheir castmatesand left Dylan wondering if she’d been “upfront” with him from the start. “Did they date before this or something?” he questioned of Hannah and Blake.
