Was Kenny Braasch really nude on Bachelor in Paradise?

It’s safe to say that the season premiere of Bachelor in Paradise season 7 was a wild ride from start to finish. From Tahzjuan Hawkins sweating profusely despite only being on the island for less than a day to our sun goddess Victoria Larson giving us a lesson in how to communicate with your love interest telepathically, with this cast, we’re certainly not getting a single dull moment this season.

Of course, we couldn’t mention the season premiere without mentioning how season 7 contestant Kenny Braasch stole the entire episode with his abs, his muscles, and most notably, his apparent bare behind. Fans have been wondering if Kenny was actually really nude in the first episode or if it was just a trick that the producers of the series played on us. We answer the most important question of them all right here.

Was Kenny actually naked on Bachelor in Paradise?

Sorry Kenny lovers, but as reported by

Bustle

, it looks like this chiseled man was not

actually

naked in episode 1. Kenny and

producers were caught red-handed, or, should we say, polka-dot-handed. Fans quickly noticed a shot in which Kenny was not censored with the black box, and instead you could see he was wearing polka-dotted swim trunks. Check out this

Though the truth has been revealed, it is entirely possible that the contestant may have actually wanted to go through with being naked during the entire episode.

“I’m in pretty much the best shape that I’ve ever been in,” Kenny expressed during last night’s episode. “I’m not gonna hide this [expletive] anymore. I’m not putting all the work in for no one to see it.” His statements let us know that this may not be the only time we will see a black box covering up the goods this season.

While it may be disappointing to some to be hoodwinked into believing that Kenny Braasch was actually nude last night, we know that there are still many more interesting moments to come where you’ll definitely have to pick your jaw off of the floor. Be sure to tune in to new episodes of Bachelor in Paradise season 7 next Monday and Tuesday night only on ABC.
