Jesse shares some unexpected news which causes some of the women to spiral.

“Lacifer”, good one Brandon.

Rodney handled the break up as best as could be expected, as well as the rest of the guys, I wasn’t expecting them to be as compassionate towards her as they were. This feels like the 1st breakup in paradise where no one came out of it looking like the jerk.

I mean, this news could be anything causing the women to spiral.

They’re out of shrimp quesadillas.

The guys got a new pool float.

 

Lace got dumped by Rodney. But she got to see him!!!

I'll take Lacifer over Hurricane Lace.

I hope Lace is okay. I didn't see her original season, and I understand she was a mess. But I hope she gets it turned around.

[dizzyd]

Look at all these guys playing right reasons Bachelor. And the new guys have had no game so far whatsoever. They’re giving me no fodder to snark on. I guess we have to keep Jill and Genevieve for that. 

Wow they didn’t even give rick and olu a shot with any of the new girls. Guess they had to do it so there’s not an equal number of guys and girls without bringing in new people which would be too much for all the changes made in this round. 

Edited October 25, 2022 by dizzyd

[JenE4]

Okay, now we know why they let Lace come: So she can tell the guys they have new guys! The producers thought the guys would go wild having the upper hand, but more than half are waiting it out—just like the women are. The OGs thought we just need to be on our best behavior and collect our women. But now they—okay, Brandon specifically—are spiraling just like the women!

[Shorty186]

Yeah that's BS that they didn't let Rick and Olu meet the new women. So is Jesse gonna pull the same thing down at the beach? It's only fair, although I think the only one not vibing with anyone is the Aussie lady.

In her original BiP season she left with a guy named Grant.  I can’t remember if they got engaged, but the did get matching “Grace” tattoos while still on the show.  

Now Logan is interested in Katie?  How does he decide what to eat for breakfast?  The guy always sees the grass is always greener. 

[Shorty186]

Why is Logan a hot commodity? I don't see it. And how could Kate or anyone have had him on their list when his season hadn't aired yet?

Guys have the roses.  Not that many options and he is easy to sway.  

[Kiss my mutt]

Jill is going to regret not at least getting to know either Rick or Olu since Jacob has moved on to well, who knows really. I do not look forward to watching Jill decompose. 

[Thumper]

If the women choose to bare their butt cheeks and know they’re being filmed, why is BIP blacking them out??? 🙄

[DEL901]

I really don’t like Kate.  She and Logan deserve each other.

US censors.  

[Kiss my mutt]

Logan is going to need blepharoplasty before too long. His eyelids are going to interfere with his sight. He looks so dopey.

I don’t understand his appeal either. He’s dull as dishwater and not particularly attractive either. 

[phlebas]

Genevieve and Shanae are the most believable couple so far.  They should move in together. Then the city can put hazmat warning signs in their lawn.

There is no reason other than the fact that all the guys are staying loyal, so Jacob and Logan are the only two chances to stay in Paradise. Last episode Kate was basically saying Jacob is a means to a rose. But if you’re stuck pretending for 24-hours a day, maybe Logan is less repulsive. This woman also just seems like she’s here to stir up trouble! Does anyone know who she is? I have absolutely no recollection of her. As for Logan, well, this checks out! Of course he’ll jump at the chance for a new option. This is what he does!! (I got behind on the show, so not up to the date yet.)

[leocadia]

I don't want to live in a world where Logan is a commodity.

Logan’s rose is the commodity.  Logan is just an unfortunate appendage.  

[SHD]

Well, at least I learned that it’s Baby Jesus I have to pray to because Older Jesus doesn’t care. I mean, he’s THIRTY-THREE!

What even IS this show?! LOL 

[Kiss my mutt]

Yeah, I could have done without petitioning baby Jesus for inclement weather.

[alexa]

Could they have made this season more boring?  Literally nothing happens.  They all just sit around and that is it.  Lol

[phlebas]

I was wondering when Shanae would arrive

[dizzyd]

Well damn show is making me like shanae, at least more than Kate and Sara. That being said, Logan ain’t all that. 

[phlebas]

Is Shanae super tall or does Kate model for bowling trophies?

[dizzyd]

Another reason why they should go back to the Bachelor pad format. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I just looked up how tall Tyler is and was surprised he is 5’10. I was guessing 5’6. It’s that cute little boy doll head. I’m glad he’s more interested in Brittany. Shanae will be mad about Logan but only because Tyler didn’t pick her or she’d be with him and dump him. 

[Madding crowd]

I don’t like Kate, she seems like she is performing rather than being herself. They need to have everyone on the same beach; it is boring watching the women sitting around whining. I think they should have kept Rick and Olu and just thrown everyone together.

[SHD]

Alex looks like an extra handsome model version of Steve Carell.

[JenE4]

I don’t understand Shanae at all. It’s perfectly fine for her to go from man to man to man—and always have two on rotation at any given time. But god forbid one of them is interested in someone else… I thought Logan was your soulmate (of the day); leave poor Tyler and Brittany alone.

Alex is mighty dreamy. I’m not sure how I missed him on Rachel’s season. Though, he does look similar to her husband, so I probably just never realized they weren’t the same person at the time.

[Ms Blue Jay]

I couldn't care less about Logan and the woman that he is dating (I don't even know her name), but I have to admit Victoria and Alex are interesting.  I can't believe she likes Johnny that much.  He's every woman's dream?  Seriously?  have we seen anything to indicate what that means, how that's true?

Logan had trouble deciding between Rachel and Gabby, then he left the Bachelorette. There was a rumor that he was flirting with a staff member, or someone on that cruise ship.  All the women need to steer clear of him, he can't stay with one woman for more than ten minutes.

[SallyAlbright]

Alex looks like that, speaks Russian, and used the words "elated" "palpable" and "archetype" correctly in about two minutes of conversation. Why is he here?! He is too good for everyone on this show.

Seriously.  A season with Genevieve and Jill as leads for the entire season is a very bad season.  Why am I still watching?

I totalllllly agree.  Rodney is even dreamier now than he was on Michelle's season.  He handled it perfectly.

This is the happiest that we've ever seen Genevieve.  Not that the bar was high, but still.

Especially if you compare him to Jacob, whose main accomplishment is that he's "mastered breathing air."

This season has really been dragging for me. Does anyone know how many weeks are left to go?

According to Wikipedia until Nov 22. 

Same. The time of year it’s being run is a bit odd to me, too. Crazy antics on end of summer tv is amusing. Not as enjoyable this time of the year. I watch about every 2 or 3 episodes and even then only parts.

The guys were great, i think they understood that Lace is very fragile. It was hard not to feel for her. Who knows if it would have lasted, but the way that happened was sad

Victoria agreed to see where things with Alex went, because she does have some red flags about Johnny (like how Alex is an adult hunk and Johnny is barely old enough to rent a car, and told Gabby like 3 weeks earlier he wasn't ready for marriage).  Then it pivoted to a very odd sequence involving Brittany, Tyler, Genevieve, and Shanae.

Basically, Shanae is pissed that Brittany might have stolen her Jersey chew toy which was keeping her entertained until she can get back to the beach and get dumped by Logan. (Genevieve is helping to gather evidence, and Tyler is happy to obliviously suck on Brittany's face.)

None of these people should be allowed within 100 yards of each other.

I have never seen anyone generate more cliches in a row than Kate.  She was like a terrible stand up comedienne at one point.  She and Logan are both dull as dirt and may well be happy together.

[phlebas]

WHY WHY WHY did Rick and Olu not get a chance to meet the new girls on the beach?  There will be plenty of jilted ones after they come back together.  Sarah and the Aussie girl are both free agents.  Or was that because Lace stomped out and they knew Jill was going to be right on her heels?

Because this “twist” was so poorly thought out.  I’d be surprised to see it again in its current form.

I think they were trying the twist to see if it would make it more interesting, but as usual their cast is dull as dishwater, so it didn't work, lol.  I agree with you.  I also think they will have to do something different to keep it going as it has lost a lot of momentum over the years.  So they will try something else to keep it alive. 

[Katie111]

I think a lot of the guys on the beach seem like really nice guys.  They were all so nice and supportive to Lace.  Almost all of them  were really nice to her and also spoke nicely about her after she was gone.  Johnny & Aaron are coming across as really nice guys with some of their comments. I had previously thought Aaron was just a meathead jerk but he’s changing my opinion.  
 

I don’t think Johnny and Victoria  are at all a match.  He just seems like a hometown boy you’d meet at your local bar and she is all about the glam.   She’s going after Alex because that’s what she usually dates.  Clearly what you usually date isn’t working for you Victoria.   She knows Johnny is the type of guy she should date but she wants some eye candy on her arm.  
 

I like a Tyler and Brittany together.

Maybe Logan is just not very bright. He seems to be easily distracted by the next new shiny toy. Could his behavior even be related to some type of attention deficit disorder? It seems like something more than or beyond a 'player's' mentality. Shanae's behavior has been similar but we can see she is sampling men to find the one with the most clout! I've lost track of how many people these two have hooked up with but I think it must be record numbers for BiP.

I agree.  The whole point of the twist was to create conflict and drama at the reunions.  Since neither of them would do that by escorting one of the “girls” back there was no point as part of the producers strategy to create as much angst as possible.

This is the same situation as the double bachelorette - that was poorly thought out as well. And I agree the cast for the most part is way too dull. I'm having trouble getting though the episodes each week now.
This twist was a huge disaster...I think it was so bad that it appeared cruel and abusive. And it was a waste of time. Nothing positive nor exciting came out of it. It looks like Tyler is the only one who gets integrated into the group and they could have just brought him on to the beach in the regular manner. This was certainly a waste of time for the other new men.

It looks like they are having trouble casting for this show in recent years. This season will make that worse going forward now. Who is going to want to go on the show when you might get forced into something as horrible as being torn away from the person you have developed a relationship with and sent away to stew while they are tempted with new options? Who wants to be humiliated and made a complete fool of on national TV? Who wants to go on a show if chances are the editing ends up making the public dislike you? And word is out about the crab-infested, hot as hell facilities.

I hope they make big changes to this show and turn it into something similar to Bachelor Pad with weekly contests but no overall grand final prize. And I hope they find a new location. This season was so bad that the cast has been speaking out on social media. I don't think we've ever seen that before.

Agree. I don't think she's that into Logan. I think she just wants to stay on TV. 

Hard to believe Tyler is 5'10". He looks much shorter. Wonder if he fudged a little.

Alex is a hunk and seems smart and sweet! 

This season is missing something but I'm not sure what it is.
