In Regalia Grove located in the coast of Massachusetts, 16 tourists arrive to compete for a grand prize of $250,000. They suddenly take part in a challenge in which they have to deliver the hosts favorite drink; one makes the drink whilst the others dig for the ingredients.

Faced with the first Nomination Ceremony, the teams talk strategy when deciding their respective nominees. Once a pair of losers is selected, they go head to head in a challenge to keep their place in the game, and avoid the title of First Evicted from Reality Resort.

The second Immunity Competition takes place, and one contestant's scheming leads to a surprise nomination.

The two nominated contestants battle against each other by being the first to decode a secret phrase, using symbols represented as paradise. Said symbols could potentially reflect the first letter, or using its shape. Whoever loses will get eliminated.

The tourists face a memory challenge where they watch a promotional video highlighting the resort and each other, followed by a true or false quiz based on the video's content. This tests their ability to recall details about their fellow housemates from preseason interviews.

The two nominated contestants battle against other by accurately remembering which location a tourist was placed in the previous Immunity Challenge video, and placing each tourist with the correct room. Whoever loses will get eliminated.
