Split-House Twist in Bachelor in Paradise: A Casa Amor Deja Vu

Fans of Bachelor in Paradise recently experienced a twist that had them drawing parallels to Love Island's "Casa Amor." Bartender Wells Adams, who knows the drill well, chimed in on this comparison.

Wells, 39, reminisced about the time they pulled off a similar stunt. Interestingly, his wife Sarah Hyland hosts Love Island USA. He recalled the drama it caused when they separated everyone, hinting that the twist won't return for season 9.

Last year on BiP, host Jesse Palmer sent the ladies packing to a local resort while the men stayed behind. Each group met a new batch of Bachelor Nation contestants, and the women didn't hold back their feelings, shouting, "F—k you, Jesse Palmer," from their balcony.

Wells pointed out that this split-house situation happens every season on Love Island. The British reality TV series splits the group in half, calling it the "ultimate relationship test": Casa Amor.

But here's the kicker—Wells joked, "Yeah, we should do that," adding, "First of all, Love Island ripped off Paradise originally, so we can go rip off some of their good s—t."

He concluded with a bold declaration, "No one's making new s—t anymore!"

Bachelor in Paradise made its debut on ABC in 2014, giving rejected Bachelor Nation contestants a second chance in Mexico. Love Island, on the other hand, started as a British show in the early 2000s and arrived in the U.S. in 2019, moving to Peacock for season 4.

Despite their similar dating show premises, Wells remains a fan of Love Island. He praised the latest season and mentioned how passionate his wife, Sarah, is about the Bachelor franchise.

Wells even shared how Sarah gets invested in the show to the point where she doesn't want to meet some contestants in real life. He defends her and understands that it's all part of the TV drama.

During a recent episode of Love Island USA, there was a bit of controversy involving Sarah. Mike Stark accused her of being "mad disrespectful." Sarah's response? "Boys will be boys."

So, whether it's Bachelor in Paradise or Love Island, the drama and surprises are always on the menu for reality TV fans. Bachelor in Paradise returns to ABC on September 28th, at 9 p.m. ET.
