During the E! News interview, Paul explained why things didn't work out with Wendi, who he says he went on dates with but that they were never exclusive. Interestingly, it came down to the two having a bit too much in common. Paul said, "It's almost too much. I like myself, but I don't know if I like myself that much that I want to marry myself. We were really similar."
Like Paul, Wendi also got engaged in the pods to another contestant, Jimmy Forde. After not being picked to be featured on the show (or to go on the Mexico vacation), Wendi and Jimmy dated for about three months before breaking up. Wendi told Netflix's Tudum, "[Being outside the pods] revealed to me aspects I didn't need to know I needed in a partner." Wendi added that she is grateful for her time on the show, especially as it showed her just how much she values emotional connection.
Paul, too, is grateful for what he learned from the show. He told E! News, "It clarified for me exactly what I'm looking for and what I can tolerate and what is vital in a relationship and what cannot exist in a relationship. You need admiration. You cannot have any degree of contempt. For me personally, I need somebody that I see my best self reflected in them and I want to be that for them."
