BBs it’s day 17 in Paradise. Amazing how they can stretch a little over two weeks into 9 weeks of tv! Hannah gathers all the women for a girls’ chat and asks if anyone is looking to get engaged at the end of Paradise? Kat says definitely not, been there, done that!
Then Jesse gathers the group and tells them to get dressed for a big, fancy dinner down by the beach. After dinner (where Kat is freaking out the entire time over flies), Jesse comes back and tells the group they are going glamping in the woods tonight. What no one knows is that it’s really a relationship test. A relationship therapist is secretly watching everyone. The group gets out to the site and they find boxes with their names on it. They have to build their own tents and everything is sabotaged (the matches are wet, their chairs are broken, etc). There’s literal horse poop everywhere, it’s hot as fire, and there are bugs EVERYWHERE!
Kat has a bug phobia and can’t stop crying, like I’m afraid she’s going to have a full on melt down. Dale is doing his best to calm her down. Keith is having a v hard time being away from his kids. After a couple hours, all the sudden there are these horrible loud noises coming from the woods. Jesse appears and calls an end to the experiment, sending everyone back to the resort.
Next Day
Jesse takes the group to see the relationship therapist, Dr. Berman. Turns out she was watching them all through dinner, and all night at the camp site. Dr. Berman rates each of the couples. Keith and Kathy did well, but there’s no romantic love (which we all knew). Jonathon and Lea have a great working relationship, but no chemistry. Alexe and Andrew- the doctor couldn’t feel their chemistry either. Jeremy and Bailey- loads of chemistry, but no shared interests or alignment. Kat and Dale- he has a hero complex (not a surprise to Dale). Spencer and Jess have a good emotional connection. Kat and Dale win the test! They win immunity and a date.
Kat and Dale go on their beach picnic date. Dale tells Kat- You feel like home. It was always you for me. Kat says “same”. Yeah right Kat!!! We know you have a secret boyfriend!!!
Jess and Spencer are talking timelines. Jess says she’s not ready to move in together. Who could blame her??? She’s known the guy for 2 weeks! Spencer says he’s in love with Jess, but Jess says she’s not in love with Spencer yet, and that makes her nervous.
Later Spencer and Jess talk again and Spencer says he’s willing to take everything at Jess’s speed. This makes Jess happy as she’s afraid of making mistakes.
Meanwhile Alexe and Andrew tell each other they love each other. So cute!!!
Tonight everyone has to vote for the man who will be eliminated. Keith tells the guys he’s fine with getting voted off because he’s missing his family. Keith even tells Kathy he’s ready to go home. But then he chats with all the girls and they remind him he’s a valued member of the group and he changes his mind a bit.
Rose Ceremony
Dale gives his rose to Kat
Andrew to Alexe
Spencer to Jess
Jeremy (UGH) to Bailey (who deserves better)
It’s the last rose but there’s a problem. The vote was tied. So it’s up to Dale to decide since he and Kat won the challenge. Dale’s always had it out for Jonathon because he thinks Jonathon was trying to go after Kat. So Dale sends Jonathon, and therefore Lea, home. Keith and Kathy get to stay.
Next Day
There’s another relationship test. Jesse announces that TWO couples are leaving tonight at another rose ceremony!!! The relationship test is interesting. There are figures made to represent each person in the group. Everyone is asked the same questions like “who do you think is most co-dependent” or “who is most likely to cheat”. Then each person “answers” by stabbing a dagger into the corresponding figure. Whoever gets the least amount of stabs wins. Andrew and Alexe win!
Later, at the cocktail party, Jesse announces that tonight’s rose ceremony is the last one! Next week is the finale! BBs, I can’t wait! I’m dying to know who wins!!! But if you know, keep that info to yourself!!! No spoilers for me!!!
Until next week, xo 🌹
Bless Your Heart
