Why why why. Yes! those dresses that cost thousands, and look like the foundation garment you would wear UNDER a wedding dress. Didn't Carly want to throw up because they had some contest where they had to eat a pepper and then kiss for a long time? Or am I getting it wrong? 8 Link to comment
waving feather June 22, 2017 Share June 22, 2017 Not sure how much she paid for the dress, but if it's a lot, she got ripped off. Looks like an old prom dress that was kept in the attic for 10 years. I guess since they are not a star couple like Jade and Tanner, they got a cheaper budget. Link to comment

A high cheek-boned male Swedish model said "You're... naked" and then a door curtain rod fell on Peter Brady's head. I personally have no reality TV standards at all. OMG! This made me laugh for 5 minutes straight! That was definitely a top reality show moment! I didn't remember the curtain rod falling on Peter Brady's head, but that detail really added to the scene you painted. i had to look up a clip of this for nostalgic viewing: http://www.vh1.com/video-clips/1lzb7d/digital-videos-reality-tv-nostalgia-verne-troyer-gets-piss-drunk-on-the-surreal-life 3 hours ago, backformore said: Didn't Carly want to throw up because they had some contest where they had to eat a pepper and then kiss for a long time?

However, she vomited over the hot pepper, not because she was so repulsed by Evan. I mean, maybe that could have been a contributing factor, lol. Edited June 22, 2017 by JenE4 7 Link to comment

Men who choose women like Corinne usually aren't the usual jealous types, they're more the type who is proud of how many other guys are drooling over their wife. They're the type who marry strippers and Playboy centerfolds. Tanner was talking about how all the other guys were panting to meet Jade before she even arrived at BIP that year. 3 Link to comment

Sure they got their name out there, but they also put many people off so it would probably be a wash, as far as viewers, losing some to the disgusting nature of the scandal and gaining a few to see the aftermath. I doubt that many people who weren't already going to watch will now want to watch, not enough to make it worth the cost. It cost them a shitload to shut down production, fly everyone home, then start again and fly everyone back. They could have just kept rolling if they had set this up. At any rate, hose down the sheets and let's get back to business. lol I agree. There's no way this was a publicity stunt. Way too costly to shut down and then resume production, and there's no way the show would ever willingly involve WB's legal team just to make headlines. And as scummy as I'm sure the behind-the-scenes dealings are, there's no way the producers would concoct a scenario that involves non-consensual anything. 2 Link to comment

backformore June 25, 2017 Share June 25, 2017 TMZ reports that BiP will have a new policy of checking contestant's belongings to make sure they aren't bringing in illegal drugs. And then they say it has nothing to do with what recently happened with Corinne and Demario. Uh huh. totally unrelated. OK. http://www.tmz.com/2017/06/24/bachelor-in-paradise-drug-policy-illegal-corinne-demario/ Quote "Bachelor in Paradise" contestants will have to ante up all drugs -- both legal and not -- when they land in Mexico for the relaunched version this weekend. TMZ has obtained an email sent by producers to contestants, which informs them of some of the "new procedures" that have been initiated in the wake of the Corinne Olympios/DeMario Jackson scandal. The email reads in part, "Upon your arrival, your bags will be inventoried specifically for any over the counter and prescription drugs that are not prescribed to you." Any prescription/illegal drugs will be confiscated." 3 Link to comment
MrSmith June 25, 2017 Share June 25, 2017 (edited) I've been lurking here since this whole thing with Corinne and Demario blew up. I don't watch Bachelor in Paradise and I never will. I also don't understand why any of you do, and I'll explain why I say that. I mean, I know some of you (most? all?) are watching in part because there are people on this show that you liked from the other shows in this franchise (Bachelor|ette). Still, even that wouldn't motivate me to watch this show and here is why: This show is just a rebranded Paradise Hotel with contestants skimmed from two other, more popular shows. Paradise Hotel introduced the format with which you are familiar; however, Paradise Hotel itself is a rebranding of Temptation Island. The only thing really different between Paradise Hotel and Temptation Island is that Paradise Hotel's contestants were actually single, whereas Temptation Island's contestants were actually married couples in ostensibly trouble marriages who were there, again ostensibly, to see if their marriage could be saved. My wife and I watched the first two seasons of Temptation Island. The first season wasn't that bad, and we stuck around for part of the second season which turned into a really horrific trainwreck and we removed it from the DVR. Due to that, we didn't stick around for the third season. We also watched Paradise Hotel, which ran for two seasons and we only watched the first season. FOX eventually reincarnated Paradise Hotel as Forever Eden, which we stayed away from because we recognized it as a re-named Paradise Hotel and wanted no part of that. Anyway, that's why I view Bachelor in Paradise as a nuclear meltdown waiting to happen (and which nearly did; so, maybe Three Mile Island level rather than full-on Chernobyl or Fukushima?) and won't go near the show. The only things I can see that are different between this incarnation and the previous ones are the name and the contestants. The ridiculous levels of drunkenness and matching drunken antics are still there, as well as the forced "re-coupling" that I find grotesque. I'm not expecting or trying to change any of your minds. I guess this post is mostly about my amazement at how these TV shows can be repackaged slightly and end up finding an even wider audience than their ancestors. Temptation Island was on at 10pm Central, if I recall correctly, but it could have been even later. I remember we had to DVR it to get it because neither of us could stay up that late to watch it due to work. Paradise Hotel was also later night and was on at 9pm or 10pm, I think. I don't know what time this show airs, but it doesn't really matter because I'm amazed ABC would touch this concept after FOX's miserable outings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temptation_Island_(TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Hotel Edited June 25, 2017 by MrSmith Added links Link to comment
leighdear June 25, 2017 Share June 25, 2017 Just because Corrine is Kryptonite to ABC doesn't mean her reality TV career is over. I imagine a number of networks could create some kind of redemption vehicle for her, a cautionary tale of what really happens behind the scenes. I guarantee some development types have put on their thinking caps to devise a way to make ABC's blonde pariah their latest cash cow. People would watch her just for the curiosity factor. 2 Link to comment

Alapaki June 25, 2017 Share June 25, 2017 (edited) I think there's a very good chance that Corrine will get some sort of continued famewhoredom out of this. No one is too toxic for basic cable. I agree that ABC has probably lost a good deal of money because of this (mostly from advertising and PR; I'm assuming they carry insurance for the costs of stopping filming). But basic cable doesn't have those same considerations. There's not a lot of advertising revenue there to start with, and most of those shows are dirt cheap to produce.
