Summary
Were Sean and Allyshia playing Paradise right, or did they come in too bold? Ben conducts a deep dive into why the Parliament of Paradise seemed to fizzle out quickly.
Where are the receipts? And why did this duo feel inclined to take Kat down?
We also try to get some answers on why their relationship didn't continue after they left the beach...and if anyone is holding out for a second chance.
