Ivan Hall explains the Alexa Caves situation on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 7
Alexa’s name came up in Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 Episode 10 on Sept. 28. Right before the elimination rose ceremony, guest host Wells Adams pulled Ivan and confronted him about something that happened at the hotel when the cast evacuated for the tropical storm. Then Ivan revealed that he met up with Alexa.
“Last night at the hotel, I was kinda feeling lost here,” Ivan said, noting that he had “no connections” on the show. “I didn’t know where to go, really. Last night, I spent time with Alexa at the hotel.”
Then Wells asked Ivan how he knew Alexa. Ivan claimed that they didn’t meet before the show.
“I was just hoping she was going to be brought down here at some point. We never met up,” Ivan said. “I was genuinely excited to meet her and talk to her.”
Ivan also revealed that he found Alexa’s hotel room number by looking at a Bachelor in Paradise producer’s phone, noting that he made a “quick impulse decision.” The contestant noted that he shouldn’t have gone around the system.
“It was a giant mistake,” Ivan said.
In the end, Ivan apologized to the Bachelor in Paradise cast for exploring other options outside of the show during their break. He left the beach single.
