Break-ups and relationship drama abounds in Paradise when Becca hits the beach and Kendall returns.
Hello, rose lovers!
(Answer: Neither because then they’d be kicked off the show.)
ABC
Although, it mostly looks like she’stryingto make herself cry… and failing.
Tammy, you gotta talk to Demi about acting lessons.
Not to be outdone, Chasen gives Deandra the blingiest necklace in history.
He went to Jared?.ABC
Seriously, it’s dark on the beach, but Deandra, you might need some sunglasses.
No, Chasen, a rhinestone silver necklace doesn’t match gold hoops.
What are you thinking?
ABC
And where are these guys getting all this jewelry?
Is there some new special oyster I haven’t heard about that pops out bling?
Karl respects her choice, but then he also pulls Chasen aside to talk to him about his one-up-manship.
ABC
Wrong again, Chasen!
Have you met Demi?
Once again, Demi says what we’re all thinking, declaring both pieces of jewelry “hideous.”
ABC
The men who aren’t boo’d up (nope, still doesn’t work!)
are desperately trying to make a connection, with James and Ivan talking to Mari.
Tre, you don’t want to just see who else is coming to the beach?
ABC
He breaks things off with Tahz before he goes.
“I don’t feel that we are right for each other,” he tells her.
All the men are thrilled to see Becca.
ABC
C’mon ladies, where’s that confidence?
The still-available guys go for a round of speed dating with Becca.
She makes her way through Ivan, James, Karl, and Aaron.
Finally, it’s time for another rose ceremony this one with the ladies in control.
Wells says this is the craziest he’s ever seen Paradise but I feel like that’s recency bias.
Natasha gives her rose to Brendan, but she absolutely doesn’t look happy about it.
Most of the rest of the roses continue as expected.
Deandra, now sans garish necklace, doesn’t choose ChasenorKarl.
Aww, Deandra, way to go!
Always choose friendship over tacky jewelry.
I’m sorry, Becca, that’s just rude: Demi isright there.
I can only assume this was a producer nudge to prolong the Aaron and Thomas drama.
So, it’s time to bid adios to Connor, Karl, and Chasen.
“I just want somebody to choose me.”
Mari is still pining for Kenny, while Demi seems assured nothing will come between them.
Just to prove her wrong, here comes Tia, a.k.a.
the woman who had her heart broken by Colton in one of the messiest breakups inBachelorhistory.
Kenny doesn’t take Demi’s words to heart, and he agrees to go out with Tia.
“It’s payback!”
Props to you, girl, for having the guts to stand up to Demi.
Hmm, from my point of view, that title falls to the very much taken Wells Adams.
Joe and Serena continue to connect over… their names?
Really soul-searching, deep conversations here.
They discuss whether they’re just friends or something more than friends.
Abigail fears how easy it is between them.
A little too late for the self-awareness, Abigail.
Kenny is pumped to be on his first one-on-one date ever, which apparently involves playing volleyball.
No, wait, make that naked volleyball.
At no point did you think it worth mentioning that you showed up to Paradise naked, sir?
I don’t think anyone on this beach should be concerned about who Kenny loves most in Paradise.
It is obviously an entity firmly attached to his personage.
At least until Demi gets through with him.
After the game, Tia and Kenny put their swimsuits back on and share some champagne on the beach.
“Well, cheers to seeing your tits already,” he jokes.
“Cheers to seeing your schlong in all its glory,” she replies.
“Did you f— her?”
she asks, already knowing the answer.
“Girls freak out about that.
If you sleep with someone, they’re gonna freak out if you go out with someone else.
Oh, God I’m getting murdered in my sleep.”
She explains to Kenny that women think sex means something.
But hey, they still kiss.
She rolls into Paradise with a single-minded purpose to find and talk to Joe.
The prospect of which has Joe summing up the end of this episode for all of us.
