The senior stars entering the beach included:
April Kirkwood
Kathy Swarts
Leslie Fhima
Natascha Hardee
Charles “CK” King
Jack Lencioni
Keith Gordon
Kim Buike
Ralph “RJ” Johnson
Gary Levingston
They wasted no time blending in with the younger crowd — flirting, forming bonds, and shaking up existing relationships.
Instead of a rose ceremony, the episode focused on the fallout from previous events. Emotions ran high, connections shifted, and tensions escalated.
Bailey accepted a date from newcomer Andrew, which left Jeremy heartbroken. He confronted Bailey, then tried reconnecting with Susie over the phone — but she shut him down firmly.

April quickly became the star of the night. She flirted across age lines, kissed Jack Lencioni, and found herself in a playful love triangle with Jack and Kim Buike. April’s bold attitude and charm added a new flavor to Paradise — and she’s just getting started.
