Demi tells Chris how conflicted she feels; a new arrival has her designs on Chris; Demi reconnects with the woman she left behind.

No guy with a girlfriend back home would be encouraged to stay & keep "trying out" the girls still on the beach.  

Such a double standard, because it's OK for Demi. 

Derek is lying through his teeth that it's fine with him.  No guy would be fine with having his crank yanked like that. 

This is the first time I've ever hated Chris Harrison. 

[leighdear]

Kristina is one of the biggest bitches ever to hit that beach.  I though Nicole was bad.

I think she’s just trying hard to show people that she’s not gonna be the fool of paradise again since her last time there , she got played like a fiddle and spent the whole season crying . But she actually is coming off desperate instead because it’s very obvious that as much as she’s trying to show everyone that she’s playing Blake , you can tell she has hearts in her eyes for him . I’m finding her voice more and more annoying . 

[alexa]

Once I heard Demi talking to CH, I changed the channel.  This show isn’t about her and her girl at home, and it really does look stupid after all the times they have made others villains for doing the same.  Has anyone checked on Twitter to see if the comments there are similar?  In the past their feedback on things like this was similar to ours.  

[SallyAlbright]

Poor Katie, she really tried to play it cool and instead upset Chris and made him think she's not serious. I actually like them as a pair. 

[leighdear]

Ya know how you avoid looking like a fool in Paradise?

DON'T. FREAKIN'.GO

She's acting like a bitter psycho, lashing out. 

Why do people say "Pit in my stomach?"  It's "In the Pit of my stomach". 

These people are all idiots and pissing me off tonight, 

STOP SAYING CLARITY!  EVERYBODY!  

[leighdear]

I like Katie, but she has a Romulan forehead when she cries.  I like Chris with her, too. 

Jen has the same narrow mouth that Kevin has.  I don't like her, she needs to leave & find Kevin & breed babies with anus mouths.  

[Jax7917]

Deans being smart and trying to recreate his image since the last paradise . Unfortunately for Caelynn , I don’t think his not going out on other dates has anything to do with his feelings for her .  He’s totally enjoying the crap out of Blake taking the heat this time . 

Katies nose is giganto

Caelynn looks like she could be a Duggar daughter.  

Good advice from Derek to Katie.  
 

[leighdear]

And here comes Demi's girlfriend.  Totally planned and a complete set-up.  Not a surprise to anybody except some of the castaways Demi didn't reveal her bisexuality to already. 

Lies, all lies.  And total bullshit,  

[nittany cougar]

What is it with women throwing themselves into Chris Harrison's arms? Makes them look so childish and helpless.

Demi's lady friend gives off a mom vibe toward Demi. Demi seems to want the nurturing from the girlfriend and the flirtiness with Derek.  Not good Demi.

And they are going to let her and the girlfriend stay there just to mess with Derek.  That's pretty mean.

[Meraji]

That's so disgusting of the show to bring on Demi's girlfriend. A new low.

Edited to add that the disgusting part is what the show will do for ratings, not the ladies themselves.

[SallyAlbright]

Derek seems nice, relatively normal, and is one of the best looking guys there. Between obnoxious Taylor and now Demi, he has really bad taste in women. Someone help him!

Why disgusting?

i agree they shouldn’t bring in folks from outside Bachelor Nation, but nothing disgusting about her or them.   

[TiredMe]

I’m not sure Ive ever been more embarrassed for someone than Nicole with that song. Omg so cringy. 

I really don’t want dudes in my tummy. Lol

I can't believe Dean said she was one of the most beautiful woman on the planet.  Lord.  I'll never understand men

[dvr devotee]

So the girlfriend came down to get Demi, and now she's staying so Demi can pursue their relationship in Mexico? WTF? Why?! And are they shipping in another woman for Derek or is Derek going to choose to leave?

[Jax7917]

Demi’s girlfriend looks like she could be her mother . 

This story line is ridiculous . Demi is more in love with camera time than either this girl or Derek . This whole thing is one big set up and it’s funny how this is acceptable because it’s a woman , but Blake is single and having his fun but is the villain of the season . Double standards much ?

and pleaseeee . Chris Harrison and his “ all we care about is you finding love and we made a decision to bring your girlfriend here .” Oh so this has nothing at all to do with ratings . K 

[Armchair Critic]

Looks like it's time to find a woman outside the Bachelor franchise Derek.

[Jax7917]

Why do they have to pursue their relationship on that beach ? Oh right , so they can have the first LGBT proposal ever on the show . This is the most manipulative storyline this show has ever had . Demi is so truly in love, so why can’t they be in love off camera ? 

[adhoc]

Wait, shouldn't Demi be asking the rest of the contestants whether THEY are comfortable with this change in the rules that allows the girlfriend to stay?

No, she's just asking her girlfriend if the girlfriend is comfortable.

No need to clear it further with the cast or Production.

Now that I think on it, the appropriate thing to do would have been for Demi and the GF to ride off into the sunset as a now-happy couple....

ETA: Everyone's applauding, Demi's so brave, etc.

They're all in on this pre-planned story. 

Edited August 21, 2019 by adhoc

[bosawks]

On the one hand this preordained Demi storyline is pissing me off.

On the other hand if Demi somehow scammed a free vacay for her and her girlfriend I’m oddly impressed.

[DEL901]

It is bad enough when the contestants get together preshow so they aren’t really getting to know each other on the show, but no way they should be bringing in an outsider, but tptb are so excited to show how woke they are, they are breaking their own show.   

[Armchair Critic]

I would be ticked if they got a date card if I was one of the other people there

[TiredMe]

This dinner with Demi and Kristian, so many likes.. like I’m feeling like I don’t know like, I just like I’m like I’m really into this like....

[UGAmp]

Christian is the lovechild of Hannah G. and Danielle M. from Nick’s season. She’s also very low energy and not quite made for reality tv like Demi. 

[angelamh66]

Good lord I do not have any interest in Demi's relationship.  Not because it's a same sex relationship but because it originated off camera and we don't know anything about the other half of it. And because this whole thing was planned from the start. It's so manipulative.  I really hope Derek knew the direction this was going to go. Otherwise Demi is a real a$$hole.

[meatball77]

Derek is milking this Bachelor audition isn't he?  Sweet, understanding and just wants someone to be there for him because he's always there for other people. . . .

[phlebas]

Kristian looks a little like Hannah if Hannah were 5 years older, 8 inches taller, and had ever eaten a carb.

[DEL901]

So, Demi resolved her “torn between two loves” dilemma pretty quickly.  

[Jax7917]

I missed Jed’s girlfriends invitAtion to stay in the bachelor mansion with Hannah . 

[adhoc]

Haha, Demi does not know who Nelson Mandela was. EVEN AFTER IT WAS EXPLAINED TO HER, she clearly did not understand what "fought against apartheid" even meant.

So happy that some producer who balked at this whole contrived Demi storyline found a way to get a dig in at her.

Yes, that is what I choose to believe happened and yes, I know I'm being pretty juvenile about BIP and that it's just a show and does not really impact my life in any way.

Taylor and Demi have something in common - they seem really immature/young for Derek?  Am I totally off base, age wise?  Derek looks like a man, but he likes these childlike women. I don't know.  He needs to try somebody more mature and confident and sure of herself.  I don't even know why he hangs around these BIP people.  HE LOOKS LIKE JIM HALPERT.  He could probably get anyone!  I even think John Krasinski is out of Emily Blunt's league, that's how hot John is, and he even isn't my type.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I FF through all the Demi BS and it cut the show down to less than 1 hour for me. Good times!

She has that low monotone voice that Blake has LOL.  Like absolutely no dynamism to what they are talking about so it's hard to follow.

[Suzysite]

The Demi crap is ruining Paradise for me. It was so obviously pre-planned, is pandering, and a complete double standard.  I changed the channel.

...And I came here to catch up on posts....

[Madding crowd]

People in an existing relationship don’t belong on the show. Are we supposed to wonder who Demi/Christian will give their rose to? I hope Derek hangs around, I think he is the best looking guy there.

[Kiss my mutt]

Demi and her girlfriend should have just ridden off into the sunset together but this whole thing reeks since how serious can it be if she went on BIP anyway. 

Did I see Demi on a date with JPJ on the previews or was that somebody else. 

Oh goody, another rose ceremony twist. 

[GracieK]

I think the show was definitely testing Derek as a potential Bachelor with this storyline. I’m sure that he was in on it and that was dangled as the possibility if he played along.

[Stan39]

I stopped watching this drivel last week. Just to be clear, 90% of the focus this season is going to focus on what these people did BEFORE they came on the show? Blake/Caelyn/Kristina/Hannah Demi/random girl? Great job, ABC.

Maybe next season’s the Bachelor can save money filming the season and just be weekly After the Final Rose studio shows where we get to hear arguments and love connections between people we’ve never met. And then (gasp) it’s revealed which girl we’ve never met gets engaged to some guy we’ve never seen!!!

[coconutcookie]

The whole Demi storyline is didactic and wrong.  It was bad enough to bring the girlfriend to Paradise but to let her stay there and carry on in front of Derek.  I think this might be a jumping the shark ep, or maybe next year we'll get the same storyline with men and can watch two guys making out.  That'll teach us.  It is so unfair to Derek that I can't help but think he will be the next bachelor.

I’d rather see Derek as the next Bachelor rather than any of Hannah B’s rejects.  He seems like a nice, bright guy, and he’s not hard to look at either!

Lies, all lies.  And total bullshit,  

How exactly will this work? They obviously would choose each other.

chris Hansen is getting an email from me. I think it’s inappropriate for the show host to love a combatant, even if it’s not in a physical or romantic way.

Pretty much over this. If I hear stagecoach one more damn time. 

Who is the joker with the moustache? He looks like some cheesy ‘70’s porn star. I’m calling him Boogie Night. 

[nutty1]

I would definitely be good with Derek being the next Bachelor! Do you think it would be enough time to be over his heartbreak? What I mean is, believable enough for Bachelor Nation to buy into it?

It is wrong to bring an existing significant other on the show, same sex or not. They should have left. It was not fair to Derek to flaunt their relationship in front of him. 

[PTVjones]

This whole BIP season, and Hannah's season is really solidifying one fact for me. I will most likely not be watching The Bachelor this season. 

This whole Derek storyline is clearly an angle to see how the audience feels about him. While I think he's a nice guy, very Ben Higgins-esque, I also found Ben's season to be boring and have no interesting in reliving it. Although to Ben's credit, I don't mind him now and listen to his podcast occasionally. 

I do feel bad however that this whole Demi storyline is being done at Ben's expense and if she had a boyfriend at home and wanted to bring him on the show, she would absolutely be a villain. To me the only way this would have worked is if 2 girls (or guys) from Bachelor Nation expressed interest in each other and BIP purposefully casted them to be on the same season w/ each other to see if they hit it off. 

Let's be clear, I'm all for representation, but when historically the "relationship at home" has always made someone a villain on a season, no matter how upfront someone was about it in the beginning, I'm really baffled as to why the show decided to do this. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they really wanted Demi, and since Demi had the upper-hand she told them, my girl is coming on the show or I'm not. It really gives validity to Tanner's tweets last week. 

Back to my main point, I have no interest in watching  a Derek lead season unless the cast of women is really well done. I REALLY have no interest in watching a Pilot-Pete season, he seems like such a goober to me, even if he can go 4 rounds. Maybe a Mike Johnson season but according to his latest interview with Lauren Zima, he's had no serious conversations about becoming bachelor. Tyler C seems perfectly content with ABC Food Tours and Gigi Hadid, but I would watch a Tyler season.

Honestly my ideal Bachelor would be Peter Kraus, if they wanted to pull an "Ari" with a former contestant. 

[Real4real]

What??  No ‘bachelor handshake’ with Demi and Kristian?  Obviously can’t be true love...

I’d love Tyler but that ship has sailed, I fear. I’d also love Peter Krause but I think he has no interest.  However, I do think Derek would be really good.
