Bachelor In Paradise – Episode 9 & 10

Episode 9

ANGELA ARRIVES!

But whyyyyyyy??????? I honestly would NEVER put myself in such an AWKWARD situation. She said, “if it’s alright for him to be here, then why can’t I?” Well I get that – and it would have been okay if you had BOTH arrived the same day, but coming in WEEKS AFTER.. that seems like you’re into drama. Especially since you’ll be dating your ex’s friends and seeing his new relationship before your own eyes. I’m always routing for everyone’s happy endings, but I’m hoping that Angela and Mike aren’t a happy ending so that Mike can be bachelor. I love him!

JPJ – stop picking fights with my dude, Derek! He wouldn’t let Derek speak for himself and I honestly think he’s like stage 5 clinger! He should have been upfront with Hailey during their date about Tayshia, especially before the rose ceremony and I commend him for apologizing for that. Hailey really liked him and I want her to be happy, not sad. I feel bad for Derek. JPJ is accusing him of saying things in front of millions of viewers, and we don’t actually know what was said because that conversation wasn’t recorded. He could potentially be smearing Derek’s image. It’s very immature and I wish they could have just had a quiet conversation about it. Like, ‘cool, we both like the same girl, may the best guy win.’ And then try to woo Tayshia. But also, Tayshia should have told JPJ she was definitely into Derek? What is JPJ’s deal when he’s talking to Tayshia? I don’t understand this? He isn’t looking her in the eyes, is that real crying? Also, try not to say “ya know” ever again. BARF! uggh those boogers! BARF!

Matt Donald arrives! He’s cute and naive. Sydney seems to really like him and I hope that my fellow dancer gets her happy ending.

Episode 10

Derek leaving was best for him, as sad as it makes me, I understand. But it leaves a lot of questions for Tayshia to answer now. Especially since a lot of the people are coupled and the couples are getting stronger and stronger.

Chase arrives strictly for Angela and asks her on the date. I was hoping that after the whole Jordan Christian fight Clay would have grown more into his relationship with Nicole. He clearly is conflicted between his feelings for Nicole and Angela. But he likes Nicole and I’m hoping he can push all the Angela feelings away. But where wast he rest of their date?? Was that cut short or was it just me? I personally would not feel comfortable with my current boyfriend talking to his ex, no matter what it was about. However, that was the best possible outcome for a conversation. And HOPEFULLY the just ride out the next couple of weeks to either further their relationship or get engaged.

It seems like Blake and Kristina have been using each other this entire time in paradise. And now that Blake feels the pressure of going home, so he apparently went from being completely helpless and hopeless, to can’t stop thinking about Kristina? I am so proud of Blake for staying true to his word and proving that he is growing and becoming the person he says and wants to be.

Matt! Was this your first kiss????!! Holy hell! and the sweat — basically, he’s lucky Sydney even kissed him after all that! haha uggghhh wait a second – how come he jumped right into a full make out session with Bre on their date? Something is so weird? Does he not care what his mom will think about Bre?

MIKE JOHNSON FOR BACHELOR! I feel so bad that he didn’t find his person in paradise and that is all I want for him. That smile and that genuine great guy persona. Can’t he just stay as moral support for everyone?

DEAN. CAME. BACK! and he came back for Caelynn. Which is completely out of his character. But he was man enough to come and lay his heart out for her. AND he wants to be in a relationship. I can’t wait to see how this turns out next week! As a wishful hopeless romantic, I want Caelynn to leave with Dean to start their happily ever after. (I’m just not into Conner’s surfer voice)

Thanks for stopping by and reading my thoughts!
