The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown shockingly arrived on the beach and asked probing questions on Thursday’s episode of Bachelor In Paradise on ABC.
‘Hurricane Hannah is about to hit the beach in Paradise and they better take cover,’ Hannah, 29, said. ‘The beast is about to feast.’
Hannah, who earlier this year won Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, started pulling aside the men to ask about their connections the minute her feet hit the sand.
‘Is she here to date?’ Brayden Bowers, 25, asked.
‘If Hannah Brown joined this group, I would be ecstatic,’ Peter Cappio, 33, said. ‘She’s a total babe.’

Hannah then told them she had already found her ‘happily ever after’, but that they were invited to a bonfire where things were going to ‘get real.’
‘It doesn’t sound like a happy-go-lucky bonfire,’ Sean McLaughlin, 26, said.
At night, the group gathered for the bonfire and Hannah told them her one regret from her time on The Bachelorette was that she didn’t get to the truth sooner. Hannah started asking each of them revealing questions and who they really wanted to be with.
Aaron Bryant, 30, said he was all in on Eliza Isichei, 27. When asked who she thought was the best kisser in Paradise, Kylee Russell, 25, said Aven Jose, 29, leaving Will Urena, 30, upset. When asked who else he would have gone on a date with, Aven said Olivia Lewis, 24.
Olivia said if she could send one person home it would be Kylee. Kylee didn’t appreciate getting called out by Olivia.
‘It’s just like a lot of shady things kind of happening,’ Olivia said.
Kat Izzo, 27, surprised Brayden Bowers, 25, by saying she was open to meeting other men. Sean said he actually came down to the beach to meet Jess Girod, 24, which came as a surprise to former The Bachelorette star Rachel Recchia, 27, who he had been spending his time with.
‘Tonight this bonfire lit the beaches of Paradise on fire,’ Sean said.

When the show opened Will was talking about how hard he had already fallen for Kylee.
‘This is literally the second day and I’m just like Kylee, Kylee, Kylee,’ Will said. ‘I’m so giddy. You can’t wipe the smile off my face. There’s nothing you could do to ruin my day.’
Olivia was pissed at Kylee for taking Will away from her.
‘Kylee you are a snake,’ Olivia said. ‘She knew Will was on my list. She was excited to see Aven not Will.’
Olivia said Will was just a ‘placeholder until Aven comes.’ Olivia said she was ready to go on a date with Aven and just then Aven then walked down the stairs with a date card.
‘Aven is fine,’ Olivia said. ‘If Kylee gets to take Will, I get to take Aven.’
Aven first asked Kylee to talk. Will was nervous. Kylee told him she went on a date with Will.
‘You’re popular,’ Aven said.
Aven then pulled Olivia to talk.

‘That was kind of a gut punch,’ Kylee said.
Aven said he worried coming in on day two that everyone would be paired off. Olivia told him the only pairing she knew of was Will and Kylee. Aven came back and asked Kylee if she wanted to go on a date.
‘I would love to go,’ Kylee said.
‘Oh f***,’ Will said as Kylee walked off with Aven. Will wanted to have a talk with Kylee. Kylee said she appreciated how he was all in for her and that if they ended up being together this would just be a little wrench for them. Aven asked her if she was ready to go.
Aven and Olivia went on a sailing date. Back on the beach, Will was hoping Olivia would come back to him. Aven told Olivia he was happy to meet her in person and was glad she was here.
‘I wanted this,’ Olivia said.
‘I was always going to choose you,’ Aven said.
‘Finally we kissed and it was so good,’ Olivia said. ’10 out of 10 for sure. I will love waking up to him every single day for the rest of my life.’

Mercedes Northup, 25, didn’t like how Aaron Bryant made out with her the night before but then spent the next day cozying up with Eliza.
‘I’m freaking out,’ Mercedes said.
Former Bachelorette Rachel didn’t think that Eliza knew about Aaron B.’s kiss with Mercedes. Aaron B. came clean and told Eliza about his kiss with Mercedes.
‘I definitely got triggered,’ Eliza said.
Eliza got upset and told the other women that she was going to cry and didn’t want to be put in this situation again. Eliza then walked off crying. Mercedes heard about what happened and got upset, too.
‘I see now that I could have brought this up sooner,’ Aaron B. said to Eliza. ‘I didn’t do this exactly right.’
‘But I really like you,’ Eliza said. ‘I don’t think I realized how much I liked you until probably right now.’
Aaron said he just wanted Eliza to be happy.
Brayden and Kat made out in the pool. Olivia and Cat Wong, 26, were both hopeful another man would walk down the stairs, but that was when Hannah showed up.
Good times: Peter Cappio and Greer Blitzer enjoyed spending time together
Will pulled Kylee aside to talk after she went on a date with Aven. Rachel watched and said in a confessional that it was clear to her that Will and Kylee’s relationship was over.
‘It’s pretty sad to see him like that,’ Rachel said.
‘This has not been easy for me, but I feel like I know your heart,’ Kylee said. ‘You’re literally everything and more that I could ask for in a life partner, but I think today I was just there was just this spark for Aven and I. It just kind of was undeniable.’
Kylee walked off to be with Aven and Will sat there upset. Olivia said in a confessional that she was laughing about what happened to Will.
‘Karma, you sweet, sweet lady,’ Olivia said.
The women were nervous before the final rose ceremony. Mercedes pulled Will aside to chat and told him that she thought he was great. Will hugged her and said it felt good to be chosen. Will told her that his grandmother’s name was Mercedes. Will broke down crying in a confessional.
‘It should have always been Mercedes,’ Will said in a confessional.

Kylee was happy later when she saw Mercedes and Will kissing. Peter talked to all the remaining women and then walked up to Sam Jeffries, 27, when she was talking to Aaron Schwartzman, 34. Aaron S. was not happy. Peter later asked Sam if she thought Aaron S. was mature.
‘Pete’s conversation with Sam was trying to make me look like an idiot,’ Aaron S. said.
Aaron S. walked up and confronted Peter while he was talking to Olivia.
‘I have zero f***ing respect for you,’ Aaron S. Said. ‘I think you are a piece of sh**.’
‘I’m definitely not intimidated by Aaron S.,’ Peter said in a confessional. ‘I’m fighting for what I want and I’m going to go for it.’
At the rose ceremony, Brayden gave his rose to Kat. Blake gave his rose to Jess. Aaron B. Gave his rose to Eliza. Will gave his rose to Mercedes.
