Sara’s pure surprise
The evening started with a fashion faux pas when a bombshell star arrived at the party.
Sara Mesa, who looked glamorous in a daring lilac dress, suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction when her completely sheer dress slipped.
But whatever the sport, she laughed off the blunder and adjusted her ensemble with the grace of a reality TV pro as she arrived with co-star Lauren Dunn.
As they recovered from the outage, the close friends were later seen showing off their elegant ensembles as they posed up a storm for the cameras.

Ink instead of love
Always one to impress, Ridge Barredo certainly made a memorable statement when he showed off his tattoo tribute to his wife Jade Pywell on screen.
In a Bali-inspired moment of passion, Ridge revealed Jade’s name tattooed on his back in a very bold and permanent statement.
Jade’s reaction? A mix of flattery and amusement.
“The joke’s on him because my name is there,” she chuckled, proving that love (or at least tattoos) is forever.

Where is the love?
In a question-and-answer session that had everyone on the edge of their seats, Sara – who was paired with Tim Calwell on the show – opened up about the aftermath of her on-screen dalliance.
“Honestly, I feel like the show really broke that relationship.” she confessed, closing the chapter on her romantic saga on television.
“It really confirmed that there’s nothing there.”
Meanwhile, Lauren Dunn had nothing but praise for her on-screen husband, Jonathan McCullough, despite his dramatic texting scandal with fellow bride Ellie Dix.
“He’s way too nice to me,” she admitted while discussing the demise of their relationship.

Textual healing
Lauren’s revelation that Jonathan and Ellie are now an item was delivered with a surprising dose of goodwill.
“F**k, I’m going to get in trouble,” she said, after confirming that Jono and Ellie are now officially a couple.
“They are very happy and I couldn’t be more happy for them,” she said, before joking about the possible consequences of her confession.
“He didn’t cheat on me, he didn’t deliberately try to mislead me. It’s like on these shows, if you cheat on your bride and the producers find out and everyone finds out, we’re going in.”

The elephant is not in the room
The conspicuous absence of Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams was the unsolved mystery of the evening, leaving Timothy pining for a confrontation that never came.
“You damn liar,” he declared, directing his disappointment at Jack, the phantom of the party.
“He’s full of shit from head to toe,” he added.
When Kate Ritchie asked, “What’s Jack doing?”, Tim replied, “He’s doing everyone.”

DMs and dreams
Lucinda Light, who shared her dating details after the show, revealed her inbox is buzzing with potential suitors, both male and female.
Yet her heart still goes out to that special someone after her divorce from Timothy, proving that even after the cameras stop rolling, the search for love continues.
“I’m currently building something on my website called Lucinda Light Tribe,” she said.
“It’s a bi-weekly Zoom chat with me, there’s Tribe Times, a weekly publication, it will include and upgrade my emotional intelligence course and you’ll get a copy of my book.
‘That is very exciting from a business perspective. But I’m definitely looking at offers that have come to me from Iceland to Japan. It was actually wild, like hundreds of offers. Business is good.’
