Rachel Recchia & Jess Girod Spill the Behind-the-Scenes ‘Paradise’ Tea
Keeping it real.
As Bachelor Nation fans watch Rachel Recchia and Jess Girod look for love on the beaches of “Bachelor in Paradise,” the duo just teamed up for simultaneous Q&As as they hung out and watched this week’s episode together.
In the Q&A, the two women answered fan questions about what happens behind the scenes in “Paradise,” and they didn’t hold back.
They shared what they eat in “Paradise,” with Rachel revealing, “On the beach, you can literally eat whatever you want. I loved the shrimp, and every morning I would get a green juice. It was my favorite.”
Jess chimed in, saying, “That’s healthy of you. I would get a basket of fries and I would have to fight everyone off because they would all try to get my fries and it was just for me.”
They also shared that their favorite outfits from the season were their Rose Ceremony dresses from last night’s episode, which was the first Rose Ceremony of the season.
A fan asked what their go-to drinks were, and Jess said, “I would have a strawberry mojito with whipped cream on top,” and Rachel said, “It’s just champagne for me, every time.”
Rachel also shared an update on her breast reduction scars in “Paradise,” saying, “My scars were fully healed by the time I went to ‘Paradise.’ I was supposed to keep them out of the sun, which I tried to do for the most part. There were a couple moments where they are out a little, but yeah, they were fully healed by the time I went to the beach.”
Jess and Rachel shared that there were fewer crabs this season compared to past ones because it didn’t rain during their season and the crabs come out after the rain.
How interesting!
Another fan asked how the sleeping arrangements work and Rachel said, “We all stay in the same room in bunk beds. Me and Eliza were top bunk and below us were Kat and Mercedes and then Jess was in a bed at the end of that.”
Jess chimed in, saying, “This was one of my favorite things about ‘Paradise’ — being able to be within 2 feet of all the girls and having sleepovers!”
And Rachel also answered a fan who asked, “Was it awkward seeing so many exes from your season on the beach?” by just chugging her glass of wine.
We love checking in with Jess and Rachel and can’t get enough of these two on “Paradise!”
