I do agree that no one in that house seems like a cocaine user...just the way the bag was tied with that white substance all tied down in the corner struck me as odd. I rewound several times to take a better look and I just can't imagine what else would be in a bag tied like that

Check again...there is clearly a bunch of white powder in the corner of the tied off sandwich baggie. Looks like a bag of coke to me

Uhhhhh, was that a bag of cocaine that the cat was playing with on the floor when they were all eating lunch at the beginning of the episode? WTF? No one else noticed that?

I'm guessing that Izzy didn't feel the need to trowel on the makeup down in the heat and humidity of paradise...she was clearly wearing quite a bit of makeup on After Paradise. She looked the same to me....with the exception of having had her hair and makeup professionally done by the studio experts.

Not me...I won't be watching either way. I do not like the format for EITHER the bachelor or bachelorette...that said, I do tend to watch like the first couple episodes of each until the crazies are weeded out...and then I sometimes watch the <whatever> tell all episode....but the premise of these shows is so flawed and absurd that I just cannot get myself into them even if I tried. However, that being said I absolutely loved Bachelor Pad and never missed an episode of that...and I also truly enjoy Bachelor in Paradise. It is the parent shows which bore me to tears. Waaaaaaay too much cheese. That much dairy just isn't healthy

Yeah...Josh's fakeness was just OOZING from the screen during that little "interview" for the date card. It was the first thing I thought as I was listening to him speak. Amanda seems sweet too, so it's a real shame. I hope she clues in to it before this runs its course. ETA - The twins CAN NOT be as dumb as they are portraying. I am pretty sure we learned the world's continents in like third grade....and maybe learned the first president of the USA even earlier than that. How one could go through their entire life into their 20's and not know what "Europe" is, well that is a very sad reflection on the US education system. I am just baffled at how that is even possible. Is this really representative of the current "information at you fingertips" generation? Or did TPTB just go out of their way to find the dumbest, most insulated people in the world?

It absolutely sets a bad precedent. Now anyone who comes on the show and has no shame or self respect that they were voted out by not getting a rose can just whine and beg their way back in with a cast vote. Absolutely ridiculous! Good thing I am here just for the drama and really don't care about anything else or I might actually be bothered by it! Anything that gives me more of Ashley I's sweet tears to nourish myself is a welcome addition!

Just wanted to share a chuckle I had at the awful editing. At 14 min into the show they have Carly doing a TH and she says "...this is one of the weirdest cocktail parties yet..." they words "cocktail parties" was so clearly dubbed in from a completely different conversation. Makes me wonder what she was really talking about there if not the cocktail party. Give me a break editors

I love Gabriella and always have....she is the only grounded one of the bunch (a miracle considering who her parents are) and her obvious misery just pains me. I wish I could pluck her out of there and send her off to have some fun and privacy in a boarding school. Milania, at least, seems to love being on the show and the center of attention, so I don't begrudge Teresa putting her out there. Either way, I do feel bad for their family being broken up as such. Not that I approve of anything they did, but I still feel a lot of empathy for those kids.

I will be back for next season. This season was nowhere near as good, but season 1 was SO EXCELLENT that I will gladly give them another chance to get it right. I'll catch a few episodes and if seems too s2-ish to me, then I will give up on it

My tummy hurts from laughing at Ashley I's tears. Gosh I am a bad person! What is wrong with me? I know how she feels and it's not a good feeling, but she is just SO over the top with her emotional breakdowns! Jared should have nipped this in the bud a long time ago. It was clear to me last year that he wasn't that into her. Didn't she watch the show she was in last year? I agree it could be seen as unethical for anyone (production, family, friends) to allow Ashley I anywhere near this mess. However, to be clear, I don't like ethics ruining my enjoyment of trash tv. This is not The Bachelor, it is not The Bachelorette, it is a trashy, lowest common denominator, no brain use required at all, summer delicacy. The whole setup here encourages heartbreak and people turning into raving lunatics. Bring in on BIP!

Any women on the board, please don't think that Gio is truly representative of most guys from CT. I hope to never see that douche on my television (or anywhere else) ever again. They really should light the 9th and 10th beams simultaneously, as it is totally impossible to have 9 matches without having 10

MML you are correct as that is the way I understand it too. They can both get roses, but as long as one of the two gets one they can both stay

Funny...when I was in my early or mid twenties I would have DEFINITELY said the same thing...now that I am a bit older I guess tastes have changed, and I find Caila much more beautiful than the twins (who admittedly are still very beautiful).

Is it possible that Josh is the only person in the world more gross and sweaty than Jax Taylor from Vanderpump Rules? It would appear so to me.

Bwaaaaaahaha! Through the amount of makeup they wear on this show? Like that would even be possible? Seriously though, I did notice them only when she was in the sun and it hit her face on just the right angle....then you can see their slightly raised reflection in the sheen of her makeup (kind of like a poor spackle repair on drywall that has been painted with a slightly glossy paint). Can't be seen from straight on, but easy to see in the right angle

Yes, Pipcorn...that's the one I saw at Fresh Market in the jar full of kernels! I didn't realize they sold an already pipped version of it. I imagine it is identical to the little kernel.

So, supposedly (I can't verify because I have never tried it) the beauty of the small popcorn is the kernels. They are so small and thin that when they pop the kernel desintigrates so there are no sharp little jagged bits to get stuck between teeth and in your gums. They sell the kernels in a jar at The Fresh Market and I was reading about them one time. They are a different variety of corn than most popcorn is made from, and the yield per ear is not as high, so it is way more expensive than regular popcorn. Is there a market for it? There might be... Those little jagged kernel shrapnel is my least favorite part of popcorn, so if it really does eliminate that, I can't call it a "bad" idea. I would certainly consider trying it, unless the price was more than double the price of regular popcorns.

No, it's nothing like that. For a pretty mint condition luxury automatic or mechanical watch, that you bought and did not steal (so you can sell it legit), you can get 80-90% of what you paid. Based of course on the current value of the materials the watch is made of. I have no doubt their watch collection got them tens of thousands of dollars in cash, for items they still may not have paid for that they bought on credit.

What is intermittent fasting? Do you mean some days you do not eat at all? How often? Doesn't it slow your metabolism permanently? Sorry to go off topic but, as someone who lost 50lbs in the past 6 months, I am really curious

In all honesty, I find Sarah's missing forearm to be....distracting....unusual. That's not to say it is something one couldn't get very used to, but it is just different, and not something I am used to seeing. She seems very sweet, but she seems very superficial in her own right. She is definitely a pretty girl, but when I see her I have always "seen" the missing forearm. It doesnt make her any less attractive, but it is still kind of shocking to my system. Looks like I am superficial and shallow too

Yeah they do show quite a bit of "deleted" or extra scenes that didn't make the regular show

No they didn't go to a hospital...staff medics gave her some help at the compound. The scenes where he removed the ice pack and smothered her were on the aftershow, which is what this thread is about, "After Paradise". The live weekly aftershow on Tuesday nights after the episode.

Yes, but is that really a surprise? I think we have all been able to tell that for a very long time. Seems most "attractive" people are this way. They have been judged their whole lives on their looks, so haven't had to develop their brains. Of course there are exceptions, but it is a pretty common phenomenon.

We call that "douche chills"
