Each week, Bachelor in Paradise bartender/de facto therapist Wells Adams will share his insights about the latest ridiculous happenings on the beach. This week, Wells shares his thoughts on Will's roller-coaster few days, Hannah Brown's bonfire interrogation, and more.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: As a professional bartender, how hard was it for you to watch Aven struggle so mightily to open that champagne on his date with Kylee?
WELLS ADAMS: Ugh that killed me! Also, his lack of understanding of how to use a wine key was maddening! It's weird, both of Kylee's dates have started with embarrassing things for the guys. Will falls in the water and Aven can't open a bottle of champagne!? I'm not sure what's worse! The falling in the water... yeah that's worse.

Several couples formed on day 1 and 2 in Paradise. Which pairing surprised you the most, and why? (For me, it has to be Rachel and Sean.)
I think I was the most shocked at how quickly things got hot and heavy for Brayden and Kat. I did NOT see that coming! But the heart wants what the heart wants. Or in Kat's case, the girl may want to steal his earrings.
Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown arrived on the beach this week and chose (emotional) violence by asking tough questions at the Paradise Bonfire. What advice do you give contestants who are upset that the person they like might also be interested in someone else — especially since that's, like, 97 percent of the Bachelor in Paradise experience?
Yeah, Hurricane Hannah dropped a bomb on the cast during the fireside chat. It's always tough when someone has to hear that the person they like might like someone else more, especially in front of a large group. Usually, my advice after a situation like that is to remind said person that it's better to find out earlier than later. Also, the truth can set you free — free to start making connections with other people on the beach.

Poor Will had a tough week with Kylee choosing Aven over him — and then when Mercedes showed interest in him, he was so overwhelmed he broke down in tears. Will has such a soft heart, how is he going to survive Paradise?
Poor Will doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve, he wears them on his tear ducts! I like Will a lot, and I hope he can stick around because he does really want to find love and a wife. But to answer your question, Paradise might be tough for him.
The guys had the roses this week, and Pilot Peter had plenty of single women to choose from. But prior to the ceremony, he made a big show of interrupting Aaron's chat with Sam, and then he even went on to badmouth Aaron to Sam. Why do you think he was acting that way?
I've seen it before, sometimes when you have the roses you can get a little drunk on power. I also think it's important to remember that we are only a few days into Paradise. So, in Peter's defense, I think he wanted to make sure he had conversations with everyone he had his eye on.
Finally, if things between Mercedes and Will don't work out, do you think she and Gary the beetle have a future together?
First off, I named that beetle! Secondly, that was a cockroach, and it was gross. I agree with Kat wholeheartedly.
