Wow. We’re now three weeks in which means the couplings and de-couplings are coming so fast that I can’t keep up. The theme at this point is chaos and mayhem and the only way I can make sense of it all is, of course, with music. Fight for Love (Kwabs) Last week’s cliffhanger is resolved.... Continue Reading →
Your Paradise Week 2 Playlist
And here we thought the fight was going to be between Blake and literally any other guy on the beach. But this is paradise where three episodes of Blake/Hannah G. drama can be overturned in an instant by the presence of newcomers and new troublemakers. And then there’s new pop-up relationships.

Like,... Continue Reading →
