Tenley Question

True. However, that's something that creeps me out about this show. Tenley had to do something fast to get JJ's rose. She had shown no interest in him up until that point and she knew time was running out to get that last available rose. She started sidling up to him, throwing her legs over him and kissing him in about 5 seconds flat. I'm sure Jillian did the same thing because she obviously wasn't interested in him either. It's like all self respect goes on the window just to get that coveted rose so they can stay to make out with someone else another day.

I certainly do remember Kiptyn.  He was on Jillian Harris' season.  He treated Jillian very well and they had some of the more "normal" dates I've ever seen in this franchise.  I thought he was kind of cute, but after a while with Tenley you could see he was just stringing her along.

I got Kiptyn mixed up with Kasey.  I thought Tenley went out with Kasey for a while.  I know Vienna went out with him.  Well, okay, now I feel bad that she lost Kiptyn.

With that said, I felt really bad for her when she said she and Kiptyn dated for 5 years and now he is having a baby with someone else. That had to be devastating for her.  Anyone know why they broke up?  Did he get someone else pregnant or did they break up before that happened?

 Tenley said at the beginning of BIP when she was talking about herself and the breakup with Kiptyn that Kiptyn had a child with a woman he had met at about the same time they got together.  Have to wonder if Kiptyn was seeing this other woman off and on for five years while he was with Tenley and if Tenley knew about it all along?  Maybe this is why the on again off again between Tenley and Kiptyn; also makes me question Kiptyn's integrity.

Exactly. Sounds a bit suspicious, doesn't it?


Btw, good to see you back on here, rein....

Hi rkc....I don't think too much of Kiptyn....I saw a pic of him holding his baby and a letter he wrote to his newborn.  First paragraph   “I promise to be there for you, always. To put you first, support you, and be someone you can count on — no matter the situation, time or place — I’ll be there for you,” he wrote on Instagram. “I promise to live my life in a way that gives you an example of a good man and positive role model. I will teach you to respect, appreciate, and love a woman. To open doors, take your first bite second, and be a source of strength, security, and caring.”

I had to snicker about the part of respect, appreciate and love a woman.  Didn't Kiptyn cheat on Tenley?  Is Kiptyn going to marry the mother of his child?  Not so sure about the good man and positive role model bit.

A lot of women that get married very young get divorced because they realize the relationship isn't right or they feel the pull of dating other people.  (From what I have noticed, NOT a universal statement) 

Ashley Non Onion is the perfect example of this.  She wants to date Jared based on looks and being her Aladdin, not because of any sort of real relationship based type stuff. 

I felt Ashley I's statements were very unfair.  I was so tired of seeing her on the screen crying.  I started fast forwarding her nonsense.  I know WHY BIP has her on this show but I would much rather watch the "older" women instead of a crying immature girl!  I am so tired of the screen time with her and her sister!  Can't they follow some of the other contestants around?  Although I guess BIP is pretty much just a drama fest so we get what we signed up for.  LOL.

I think that Ashley's sister is the one that is pregnant, that is why she hasn't jumped all over the men.  And I really hope that Claire will lure Jared away.  Or perhaps he will go after Jade.  Can't wait for more men to arrive!

Can I just say I have loved Kirk all along and am really happy to see him!  I don't think Carly is really the right fit for him but they seem really happy!

Tenley did not "lose" Kiptyn.  He dumped her, and frankly, I think she is better off without him.

Did you watch Ashley on After Paradise?  She did admit that she said those things out of jealousy.

31 is hardly old, and Ashley is 27, only 4 years younger than Tenley...it was a dumb statement, but I don't think Ashley is Mensa material.  I do think, however, that Tenley is too old to still be in the Bach Bubble, and still trolling for guys through this show. She needs to find a nice guy in her hometown, at church, or through friends, work, in the grocery store...lol...or anywhere but where she is looking.  It makes her look desperate, which is never attractive to a man. And, she needs to act like a confidant 31 year old woman, not like a demure little girl. I would give Ashley I some of the same advice.

h28koala wrote:I did not watch after paradise as I was traveling and did not know they were doing that!  Based on your reviews I will next week though!  I am glad Ashley admitted that. I wish they did this last year. Remember the girl I think it was another Ashleigh that went after Graham Bunn and acted odd when he wasn't around?  Would have wanted to hear her side. I don't think this show needs to be ageist. I mean there are men here that are older and women that are older so fair game as far as I am concerned!  Wish I was there to meet Kirk!

I agree with everything you say and I would add that I don't think Tenley is Mensa material either.

WOW!  I would have never guessed that. She doesn't present herself as being super intelligent.  She shouldn't downplay her intelligence. Being smart is much more attractive than being an insecure cry baby.
