Hello, and welcome to night 2 of week 2, rose lovers!
Everything is still a disaster, but at least Jordan is part of the intro now.
Also, it doesnt seem safe for production to let John Paul Jones fall asleep in the pool.
ABC
ButParadiseisnt about saving people from drowning its about love!
To that end, lets recap.
The guy is even willing to smell her stinky armpit.
ABC
Though shes not yet ready to tell Derek whats bothering her, Demi does confide in Katie.
Ive been dating a woman back home, she says.
I do miss her, and I think about her all the time.
ABC
Being onParadise, Demi adds, was a way for her to figure out stuff about herself.
Im always afraid of how people are going to take it, says Demi, tearing up.
Theres layers to me…
ABC
This is about me embracing that side of me.
Demi recently told her parents that she likes boys and girls, and they supported her.
Like, we kissed there, says Hannah.
ABC
Isnt this something that could have been brought to his attentionyesterday???
This is just like the ultimate slap in the face, he moans.
Not just for you, buddy.
ABC
Tayshia is pissed that Hannah didnt mention Blakes little visit before her date with him last week.
On top of that, she feels attacked by Tayshia.
I feel like she Mean Girled me, she whimpers.
Dean and Caelynn:Yep, Deans here, rose lovers, and hes… homeless?
Plus, he doesnt have a job.
You are a catch!
What woman wouldnt want to lock you down?
Do your worst, buddy.
The beauty queen is understandably annoyed at Kristina for spreading my business to every guy on this beach.
Still, she pulls it together long enough to say yes when Dean asks her on a date.
Mmmm… is there anything sexier than a wet mustache?
(Dont answer that.)
This development between Caelynn and Dean leaves Mike and Cam out in the cold, at least for now.
I think the Caelynn ship has sailed, sighs Cam sadly.
Christian and Nicole and Clay:Whos Christian, you ask?
He was a night-one guy on Beccas season, explains Jordan.
Stoodby the meatballsthe whole night and was just the guy with the mustache.
Then, he made a scene at theMen Tell All, just so he could have a TV moment.
Now hes hoping to secure another 15 minutes by romancing Nicole.
And she LOVES it.
But she didnt, and she agreed to go on a date with him.
The typical Latin guy is up to no good, thats the problem, she says with a smile.
He reminds me of a man I would have dated in Miami…
I just met him and hes already making me feel like hes my boyfriend.
Cue the romantic guitar soundtrack!
Hoo boy, Clay.
Might be time to start packing.
I worry that hes a little too passive, says Nicole.
What I like about Christian is hes totally unafraid to just go for it.
You definitely have the opportunity to pull me aside, she says.
Clay quickly gets a chance to prove how assertive he can really be.
Shes all yours tomorrow, if thats what she wants, he says.
Clay begs to differ.
Your dates over when you come back to Paradise, he says calmly.
You had a date, and your dates over.
But she forsuredoesnt like it when Christian puts her on the spot by asking her to settle the dispute.
Im just catching up with [Clay] now, she says.
ROSE CEREMONY SCRAMBLE
Harrison helpfully does the math for us: The numbers are even worse this week.
Nine of you ladies, thirteen guys here.
Four men are going home tonight.
You heard the man, folks get to work!
The two agree to take it slow, and all is right with the world.
How he handled it was so perfect, gushes Demi.
He exceeded my expectations entirely.
Ewwww, did Dean just tell Caelynn that he sometimes showers in lakes or rivers?
Judging by her face, I think he did.
His move involves bringing her a banana split sundae and praising her core values.
John Paul Jones, meanwhile, is hoping to woo Tayshia by performingan excerpt ofRomeo and Julietfor her.
I was full-body cringing during his monologue, but Tayshia LOVES it.
Usually guys that talk like him dont have a brain like him, she purrs.
Over on another daybed, the battle for Nicole rages on.
Christian sets up a little beachside rendezvous complete with champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and… a pinata?
Clay watches from afar and decides that he needs to interrupt Christians romantic tableau.
If Nicole wants him to be more assertive, hell be more assertive dammit!
Nicole looks so uncomfortable, Clay backs down, much to the chagrin of the other guys especially Jordan.
It does not go over well.
Jordan, what are you doing?
If this stunt gets him sent home after one week, Ill beverybummed.
- Harrison sees Deans mustache for the first time
Once again, Chris Harrison is all of us.
Its a little 70s, says the host.
Like you might be shooting videos in the Valley somewhere.
(Thats where they used to shoot porn, kids.)
- Jordan is disgusted by Christians footwear
He wore athletic shoes to Paradise, says Jordan, appalled.
Like, on entrance.
So rose lovers, a few questions: Who are you rooting for in the Clay-Nicole-Christian triangle?
Is it possible that Tayshia is truly into John Paul Jones?
And would you date an unemployed van-dweller with a porn-star mustache?
Post your thoughts below!
Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
