As the summer of love comes to an end on Bachelor in Paradise, bartender Wells Adams shares his observations on the contestants' maturity levels.
Wells, who has been observing the contestants for the past three seasons, praises Dylan Barbour's emotional intelligence and maturity, saying, "I thought Dylan was the most emotionally intelligent and mature, and he's the youngest guy there."
Wells notes that Dylan's ability to stick with his feelings and not get caught up in drama was impressive, especially considering his age. "What I was really impressed with with Dylan is he got there, he talked to everybody, he realized he only had eyes for one person, and he stuck with it. He was really mature in being like, 'I know what I want, and you're who I want, and if you don't want me, that's totally fine. But I'm not going to stick around.'"
On the other hand, Wells criticizes John Paul Jones' behavior, saying, "I think that he's a victim of his age. I think that was a pretty immature moment on the show. But it makes sense. He's, like, 24, you know, I get it."
Wells' comments come as the remaining couples on the show have serious talks and plan their futures together.
