Episode 6 Discussions

Jesse is as manipulative as AshLee.  Can you picture the two of them together?  Their brains would short-circuit - which would be a good thing, IMO.  LOL.

I, too, was glad to see the ass go home.  And Christy seemed to "grow up" overnight.  Gotta wonder about the edit.

It was a shame Brooks only got one day.  He simply arrived too late.  I never knew what Des saw in him, but he seemed so nice on the date and in his PIs.  A little effeminate, perhaps, but sweet.

Last night seemed to be the Marcus & Lacy show.  Next to nothing on AshLee and Graham.  I just get this feeling that she knows he's not into her.  Did you love how she made her displeasure all about Graham? 

Someone said they have one more week.  I wonder when the shakeup will happen and what it will involve.  Personally, I was contented seeing people meet and find mutual attraction.  I didn't need the likes of Kalon, Lucy, Jesse, and the coming obvious turmoil.  Right now, everyone is coupled up.  It would have been preferable to me, to just have each couple announce whether or not they intended to pursue a relationship after the show.

BACHELOR IN PARADISE
RECAP FOR SEPTEMBER 1, 2014

Hello! Happy September, Happy Labor Day and welcome to Bachelor In Paradise on ABC. When we last left our alumni, Jesse had given a rose to Christy, which sent Lucy home. Cody declared his love for Michelle, who is a bit scared. Marcus and Lacy are still madly in love, while Sarah thinks she sees forever with Robert. Confused? You won't be at the end of this episode of Bachelor In Paradise. 

Marcus and Lacy go on a date. The date card even said a Lacy instead of a lady, so everyone knows this couple is IN LUV forever…or until the show is over. (Although, I must say, I think these crazy kids may make it!)

They go exploring and face their fears…you know, like every other date we see on this show. Come on, producers!!! BE ORIGINAL! 

She is scared to say she is in love with him. She finally gets the courage and they celebrate with a kiss. YAY! 

Michelle is overwhelmed by Cody's declaration of love and his constant affection. 

Brooks is on the island. Sarah is excited because she has always been attracted to him. However, he takes Jackie instead. Sarah is upset because she came here to meet Brooks and is all confused.
 

Jackie and Brooks enjoy dinner and wine….or attempt to. The date seems incredibly awkward and boring. They also play foosball, because this is 1995. 

They get back and tell everyone about their date. Sarah is still mooning over Brooks when she goes to her room and finds a romantic note from Robert on her bed. She realizes she has something decent with him and forgets about Brooks. They have a romantic evening together and she realizes he is the guy for her. 

Michelle and Cody hang out. He says he loves her, but will give her space. She says he needs to be patient with her, but she will be open and honest with him. 

Gah, this episode is so boring tonight!

Apparently, Jesse has been running his mouth about the sexual things he has done with girls in the house. They all agree he is a misogynic douche bag. 

Christy is just ready to say screw it and go home when Tasos arrives. He of course has a date card and takes Michelle aside. They talk and she convinces him to take Christy out on a date.

On a complete side note, I LOVE her swimsuit, does anyone know the designer?

Tasos and Christy enjoy their date on the beach. At the house, Jesse is worried that she might choose Tasos instead of him. 

Brooks and Jackie play HORSE. This episode needs to pick it up because I am bored out of my mind right now. 

Zack gets a date card. Graham says AshLee is going to cut someone because they didn't get a date this week. Zach, of course, chooses Jackie.

Michelle begins to wonder if AshLee should be trusted based on her past behavior. 

Zack and Jackie enjoy margaritas and good conversation. She is glad he is interested in her and wants to pursue her rather than seeing her as someone he HAS to pursue. However, Brooks is still in the back of her mind.

They enjoy time kissing in a magical cave. 

Lacy thinks Jesse is a sleaze ball who wants to have a good time with a bunch of girls. She also doesn't like how he talks about the girls in the house.

The guys now have to convince the girls why they should stay in the house. Brooks does Jackie's nails. 

Jesse decides to leave and says he accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish. He also says some really crappy things to Christy….to the point where Michelle is ready to kill him. He says this is not the end and he will see them all again soon. 

I just want to hug Christy and get her some wine and ice cream. No woman ever deserves that kind of treatment. 

The girls confront Jesse about his behavior, but he doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong. Way to go Michelle for taking on the role of Mama Bear! I would have done the same thing, except I would have used MUCH harsher language. 

Jesse leaves and says he made friends, except for the three girls. He expects to get a lot of emails and invitations. He does a 'victory' shot in the car.

The girls do shots. The guys agree Jesse is very disrespectful. 

Rose ceremony time.

Lacy gives Marcus a rose. 

Ashlee gives Graham a rose.

Sarah gives Robert a rose.

Michelle gives Cody a rose.

Christy gives Tasos a rose.

Jackie gives Zack a rose.

Brooks is going home. He wishes things turned out differently.

Join us next week for the Bachelor In Paradise finale. Goodnight.

Singly, since the shakeup was being announced by CH to the contestants just as they were ending this weeks show of course we won't see it until next week. Since there is only one more episode everything will happen all at once for us but of course one episode for us is a a matter of days for them. The shakeup is supposed to involve them having to reevaluate their relationships and seeing if they want to take them to fantasy suite dates. Don't know whether it is just the edit but according to the previews for next week it looks like there will be some who choose to end it because there was quite a few crying a river. I only know of two couples that are apparently still together but that doesn't mean more didn't walk away from the show together only to break up later. We all know the drama these producers like to dredge up so of course they can't let them walk away from this show all coupled up...nope, gotta have plenty of drama for their ratings sake.

This week had it's boring moments. I think Marcus and Lacy are cute together but because they are so close there isn't much they can do with that story line. They don't want to touch that because they are banking on them being their success couple. On their date, for a second there it looked like they had wandered onto a Batman set....down in the caves with the bats swarming. I'm sure they edited out screaming on Lacy's part but instead decided to add where she couldn't pronounce stalagmites and stalactites....and for God's sake, would someone please tell girlfriend to tuck her tags in? 

Cody and Michelle are kind of cute together too but I don't blame Michelle for voicing her concerns about him telling her he loves her in a matter of a couple days. Slow down, Popeye...jeez....

The more I watched Sarah and Robert this week it seems that story line was scripted. They aren't as kissy face as Marcus and Lacy so I think they made a story up to try to make it interesting. She may have mentioned to someone that she thought Brooks was hot so they decided to use him entering the house as drama. I don't believe she was going to break it off with Robert on the slim chance that Brooks would give her a second look. And low and behold, as soon as she decides to break it off she finds that note from Robert....she meets him on the beach and TA DAH...magically she is convinced Robert is her guy after all. LOL...SMH...


I'm glad they didn't show much this week with AshLee and Graham. That girl makes my blood pressure go up. I find it interesting though that Graham used the term, "she'll cut you" when describing what AshLee might do if they don't get the date card. That's a loaded statement and it really says how the undercurrent is in their "relationship". It was definitely interesting how she turned her anger around about it to make it seem like she was concerned about Graham in not getting the date card....how did she put it? Something like, "I just want Graham to have the best experience here"....Well, damn girl...if you thought that way then you would have stayed far, far away from him!

As to the Jackie, Zack, and Brooks triangle...eh. Wasn't very interesting to me. On her date with Brooks, other than the bug landing on him and crawling down his shirt that was at the end I don't think it was all that interesting. And what was up with that nail painting thing? Did you hear him say to her that they were talking about painting each others fingernails? It brings you back to what Singly said about him seeming effeminate. Yikes. As to Zack, I'm not liking him too much. I know Clare fell hard and fast which wasn't good but I just don't like how Zack handled it. According to what he said, it looks as if Jackie was one of the ones he was waiting for to show up which is why when Clare asked him how he would handle a girl asking him on a date he said that it depended on the girl. I think when Jackie hadn't showed up yet that is why he changed his tune and told Clare that he wanted them to be exclusive the rest of their time there just so he could get her rose and stay until Jackie did show up. I just don't like slimy men like that. I hope Jackie dumps him.

I don't see Christy really walking away with Tasos. I didn't see much of a connection with her and Jesse and I really don't think it's there with Tasos either. I think she was probably another one of those that came to have fun but not in the same way that Jesse wanted to have fun. I'm glad she finally went back and told Jesse what she thought of him but she just doesn't seem like she has much of a backbone. She needed Michelle and Lacy as backup. I think Michelle and Lacy told him off more than Christy did. It was funny how Jesse walked away thinking after this is over that they are all going to hang out and have fun together when the others were talking about what a douche bag he is. I was hoping that spider on his back would bite him for good measure. I'm sure he WILL have emails when he gets home of women wanting to hook up with him but it will be whores that want to just hook up...but since that's all he wants then I guess it is what it is. I would like to think that the producers will leave him out of this type of thing in the future. They knew he was a player before he went on BIP and now he has totally disrespected so many women and proven himself to be worse then they even knew. If they include him on other things then in my opinion they really don't care about these people at all and have no honor.

rkc, it appears the FS doesn't go too well for some of them.  No sparks?

Popeye?  LOL.  He seems like an overly affectionate puppy that constantly wants to be in your face and licking you.  It's a wonder Michelle doesn't talk to him with arm extended to hold him off.  He does seem sweet, just WAY too eager.

Interesting theory on the scripted Sarah/Robert couple.  He also seems a little girly to me.

I find Zack rather boring.  And does Jacki actually have a personality?  She's just bounced from guy to guy - doing nothing, saying nothing.

As for Christy and Tasos:  Anyone who joined this late in the game didn't really have the opportunity to grow a decent relationship.

I blame TPTB for Jesse.  It's not like he was a stranger to them.  Low-life scum.

SLA:  We have a ditto on Jacki's personality.  Does she have one?  LOL

AshLee snagged a kiss from Graham on their date - right before he declined the overnight.  I saw him give her a quick kiss when he accepted the rose this week.  I think this whole twosome has been to build for what viewers are expecting to see when he dumps her.

For both of you:  Would you pass up the FS??  After that open-air, hot and sticky, bug-filled hacienda - wouldn't you opt for AC and a nice dinner.  Hell, you can play cards or watch tv in the FS.  Don't have to make out.  One could simply entertain the raccoon.
