mating rituals pulled straight out of the animal kingdom — all without being able to verbally communicate.“It was very difficult without words, but you can give them a little nudge on the shoulder to show that you’re interested. It almost comes from a place of being playful, so that was cool,” Stephan Davis, 31, a single on the show, told The Post.“For me, it was definitely in the eye contact. Funny enough, you do get a little bit used to it and make connections with people that you never talk to.
It was the strangest experience. The hugging and the kissing were almost amplified, to show affection when we didn’t have the ability to talk.” On the show, each single is given a different animal to represent and wear a symbol around their neck as a “token,” such as a koala or a tiger.Davis, who’s from Long Island and is a model and behavior specialist working with the mentally disabled, was given a token of a bee. “We did a bunch of different personality evaluations,” he told The Post. “Bees’ way of communication is dancing, apparently.
They do it for different reasons, like locating the best flower or signaling that they want to mate.”Buzzing around his castmates wasn’t a big stretch, he said. “I was like ‘Wow, I dance around, I’m kind of that person when I’m in a room, anyways.’ So, I guess it correlates.” Paige Dacanay, 26, another single on the show who’s from Los Angeles and works in software sales, was asked to channel her “inner starfish.”“Starfish have a ton of nerve endings. So, I was trying to tap into my emotional side and not hold back,” she told The Post.
