Two &#8220;smoke bros&#8221; (Apparently these are guys who call hot girls &#8220;smoke shows&#8221; &#8211; and now we&#8217;ve learned something. So why do I feel debased instead of educated?) show up, and their double date involves a triple XL bed, an intimacy guru, and a clothed reenactment of positions in the Kama Sutra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/gfycat.com\/delectablespanishamericanwirehair\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next big scene &#8212; which is not so much awkward as it is an interesting editorial choice &#8212; features Abigail and Noah on the daybed. Abigail thinks she has a bug in her nose and discovers there IS a bug in her nose. We&#8217;re treated to a longer than expected scene about this, but I&#8217;d rather see a more humorous grossness than the ickiness that was the double date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come to think of it, this whole episode could be characterized as a gross fest. There are unnecessary close ups of couples making out with tongue (or even chewing food, in Chris&#8217; case). I leave it to you to decide which is more palatable to watch: these makeout sessions or the Fear Factor buffet from Riley and Maurissa&#8217;s date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Random thought: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/abc.com\/shows\/bachelor-in-paradise\/cast\/kenny-braasch\" target=\"_blank\">Kenny<\/a> looks like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ryan_Seacrest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ryan Seacrest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noah and Abigail are in the background during Demi and Mari&#8217;s conversation. Someone &#8212; pretty sure it&#8217;s Abigail &#8212; gets up from the chaise and her butt is blurred. She is wearing a beige bikini, so maybe ABC was covering their bases (no pun intended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connor wears a crazy outfit that&#8217;s dubbed &#8220;kimono convict&#8221; by the boys. Joe and Serena have a date inside a wrestling ring. It ends with them wearing wrestling costumes. There are also love triangles, betrayals, Boom Boom Room action, and a cake thrown into the fire. Good lord, this show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sitting around the bonfire, Riley asks the others where&#8217;s the craziest place they&#8217;ve had sex. Abigail is second to answer. After thinking, she says, &#8220;On a golf course.&#8221; &#8220;Abigail!&#8221; someone exclaims. I&#8217;m impressed she even heard\/saw the question since it&#8217;s dark, the flickering fire can make it hard to lipread due to its shadows, and there&#8217;s got to be background noise from the ocean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s clear one reason why Noah and Abigail are a good fit is because they&#8217;re loyal, caring friends. When Ivan is reeling from his breakup with Jessenia, Noah consoles him. Likewise, Abigail is there for Mari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTN3LF5Pp0U\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
