Breaking it down.

Bachelor Nation fan-favorite couple Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon returned to “Bachelor in Paradise” this summer for a special romantic getaway years after meeting on that very beach.

Now, the two are stopping by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast to dish on all things “BIP” and share their predictions for the rest of the season.

Co-hosts Michelle Young and Becca Kufrin asked Ashley and Jared which couples they think are the strongest so far.

Ashley said, “Hands down, Serene and Brandon were the strongest couple. They were so cute, and the way that he talked about her was so sweet. He had a little moment with us last night and it was just adorable.”

Jared agreed, adding, “It was really great because I didn’t get to hang out with them too much and we did have an awesome moment with him. He came to our room after an interview and we ended up talking. It was cool to talk to Brandon not only about his relationship with Serene, but about things like movies. That was really fun. Those two were hands down, easily, the strongest couple.”

Ashley asked Michelle if it is weird for her to see so many of her exes like Brandon finding love on the beaches of “Paradise.”

Michelle said, “Honestly, it doesn’t make me feel weird in a bitter way; it’s just weird because I know other people think it’s weird because everyone knows that it’s one of my exes. But like Becca and I have spoken about, I have a lot of exes down on the beach right now, so this is wild. Half the beach is my exes!”

Becca asked Ashley and Jared who they are hoping to see find love in the remainder of the season.

Ashley said, “We definitely are rooting very hard for Michael A. What Sierra did for him in this episode was so sweet and I was a little nervous about how he would react because it was moving a little too fast. That was a bummer to see that end, and so unexpected. I actually expected him to leave after that, so I’m hoping that we see him meet someone. If not, I would be disappointed that he wasn’t the Bachelor.”

And Jared chimed in, saying, “I was rooting for Michael and Sierra as well. It was tough being on the beach that night after hearing how it went. It pulls at the heartstrings because you know how much she cared and how tough things have been for Michael. It’s heavy. That was tough. But I’m also rooting for Andrew. Andrew is the man!”
