Eva and José represented their family team by donning green cut-off shirts that read: “Los Bastones.” The challenging weekend events, included: a water balloon toss, a hilarious round of dizzy bat and an epic wheelbarrow race. The Grand Hotel Producer couldn't resist sharing the dizzy bat video to her actual page later, writing: “A little highlight from #CouplesWar weekend.”
