Bachelor in PAradise Recap

We started this week with the men in the midst of confronting Joe the jerk. He even briefly talked about leaving, but alas, no such luck.

They really just wanted Joe and Juelia to admit they’re assholes, but clearly that didn’t happen.

We’re over it, they’re not gonna own up to anything so let’s just leave vils to vil.

Juelia asked Chris Harrison if she could bring Mikey back to see if they had a connection.

But first, we had the rose ceremony. Josh chose Tenley, Kirk chose Carly, Jared chose Ashley I., Tanner chose Jade (but they screwed up and should have showed that first since EVERY shot clearly had her holding a rose), JJ shocked everyone by giving Ashley S. a rose, then leaving to go back to his ex-girlfriend at home. Thank god he gave someone a rose though, showing maybe JJ really isn’t the vil we always thought he was.

Joe obviously chose Samantha, Dan chose Amber, leaving Juelia, Megan and Clare to go home. 

Of course, they did decide to bring Mikey back and keep Juelia, which made everyone but Joe and Samantha happen.

Tanner got a date card, and chose Jade, of course. Boring.

Turns out that Nick Peterson, from Bachelorette season 7 and Bachelor Pad was also chatting with Samantha, and came to steal her from Joe. Samantha had other plans though and turned Nick down.

Nick then asked Ashley S., who did say yes. So they got hammered on tequila then massages. Then they made out. Very drunkenly.

It was Joe’s birthday, and he’ll cry if he wants to. Mostly about how Sam isn’t paying as much attention to him as he’d like.

Jared meanwhile decided he’s still not over Kaitlyn. Poor Ashley I. thought she was getting a fun little date with him when he really just wanted to tell her that he’s over it.

Ashley I proceeded to call Kaitlyn and tell her that he’s, like, obsessed with her.

Sam finally decided she would pay attention to “signs” (like Joe being an asshole), and that maybe he wasn’t what she thought he was.

This obviously pissed Joe off, and he is now out to get her. As we said, vils gotta vil.
