Jessenia, Olu, and Kate arrive to 'BIP' via the new twist.
"All the couples are separated with one gender going to another villa and meeting new singles," he revealed. "I think the women were the ones that moved to a new location in Mexico, and were introduced to five new men brought in. The guys stayed on the beach and were introduced to five new women brought in."

OK, the fact that Brandon and Serene coupled up during BIP and got engaged is one of the — if not the most — incredible outcomes in franchise history. We don't even know them personally, but we are just so thrilled about their engagement!
In a lengthy Instagram Live back in June 2022, our favorite spoiler king Reality Steve revealed that Brandon and Serene were the new "It couple," and he "would not be surprised if they get engaged at the end." Wow, he manifested it!
As for Johnny and Victoria, not much is known about their time on the beach. However, Reality Steve suggested that the pair become a romantic item early on and remain a couple throughout the season.
