   • During breakfast, Becca had her mouth blurred but no swear bleeped out.
   • Tia was given a date card to hand out, however, since her appearance was not confirmed until this episode, she was not available to pick as a contestant, so did not get points for that.

   • We never see the mango go into Abigail’s mouth, so she does not get points for eating
   • Smoothies are not food, so does not qualify a contestant for eating points
   • Karl says, “Deandra, you don’t like the boy anymore? You ain’t in love with the kid?” – getting him a refers to self in third person penality
   • We see Tammy talking to Wells 1-on-1 at 1:43, but we don’t hear it. She is seen talking to the bartender though, so she gets points

   Scoring Notes:

   • As much as we loved the NSYNC jam session, no singing points are awarded during BIP.
   • Watched the eating scene way too many times, but can confirm that while we do see Kenny, Deandra, & Ivan chewing, we do not see any food enter their mouths.
   • There is a slight pause from Tahzjuan while talking about Aaron’s height where there could have been a swear word, but there is no bleep.
   • Karl does (very strange) karate on the beach, but doesn’t get in the water.
   • Despite its very misleading name, a Banana Boat is very much a Personal Watercraft – not a boat. According to Wikipedia (the world’s most trusted source), a personal watercraft (PWC) is a recreational watercraft that the rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat.
   • Kissing ON a personal watercraft is not kissing IN the water.
   • Maurissa says ‘I mean, the reason we all come to paradise, right? To find love.’ which is too far from the stated rule ‘I came here to find love.’ to earn her points. Don’t worry, she got plenty this week!

   Scoring Notes:

   • Connor and Maurissa were seen with the waves splashing on their feet/legs but they did not “wade/swim” into the ocean, so they did not receive points for that
   • Kelsey asked for water but it wasn’t clear if on-site medics were the ones that brought it to her, so she didn’t lose points for that
   • Some contestants that have not yet appeared on the show are available as picks. That is due to the fact that contestants pop up all season long without much notice, other than trailers. We will make contestants available as choices once we have an indication they are going to appear in the show.

   Scoring Updates:

   • (8/24) +5 for Natasha seen eating a banana
   • (8/24) -10 for Demi (Hurricane Demi) and Tahzjuan (Tahznado) for referring to themselves in third person by nickname
   • (8/24) +5 for Contestant holds prop or wears costume in paradise credit intro (max one point bonus per contestant all season) for Natasha, Karl, Demi, Tahzjuan, James, Tammy, Tre, and Serena C (Kelsey, Connor, and Victoria L got their points last week)
