While the vibe on the beaches of Paradise are definitely more chill than Bachelor Mansion, there are still a ton of rules the cast has to follow—especially when it comes to drinking limits, privacy (what's that? this show's never heard of it), and sex in the "boom boom room." And truly don't even get me started on the contract everyone has to sign before they step foot on the sandy beaches of Sayulita, Mexico.
