2. Contestants Have Zero Access To Technology

Paradise doesn’t include Internet or cell phone reception! Former contestants have admitted that the producers ban all technology from paradise, so there’s no way they could spoil the drama via social media before the show airs. However, they don’t just ban media. Air-conditioning isn’t even allowed on the humid island. Doesn’t sound very luxurious to us!

“When you’re in Paradise, there are no phones, no television, there’s very little air-conditioning or fans. If you’re just concentrating on one thing and doing that every day 24/7, you’ll become great at it, no matter what it is,” host Chris Harrison has said. “Whether it’s working out, religion, whatever it is, my theory is that you’ll become great at that job. If you’re pouring all that attention into love and finding out if you and I work, you’ll figure it out.”

1. The Contestants Don’t Live Happily Ever After

For many lovers who met on BIP, the drama continued long after the cameras stopped rolling. Amanda Stanton’s first time on the show ended with her engagement to Josh Murray, but these two didn’t live happily ever after. Shortly after filming wrapped up, Josh called the cops on his fiancée to deal with a dispute over their car.

Josh allegedly asked Amanda to give him $30,000 to help pay for the Audi Q5 he bought her. Guess that was too expensive of a gift! When she refused, he got the police involved. “Amanda told Josh she wanted to work out the car situation when she got back from vacation,” a source said at the time.

“But instead of waiting any longer, he called the police on the day she came home,” they added. Evidently, both parties were cooperative, but these two unsurprisingly called it quits not long after.
