Re: Bachelor in Paradise

[ Edited ]

I like this show better than Bachelor/Bachlorette.  I even enjoyed Bachelor Pad.   

 

Joe is the ultimate d0uchebag. Samatha and Joe had this planned before the show started. I believe they have seen each other in person, too.

 

Carly, got some wedding cake. lol (even though she didn't make it to her brothers wedding)

'That Samantha' sure is a beautiful girl, though.  I must admit.

This show and The Bachelor(ette) are my guilty pleasures.

 

Joe is a dirtbag.....even if it is scripted, I would never agree to hurting another human being like that.....maybe Juelia is in on it too.   Who knows.

 

With a friend like Samantha who needs enemies.

 

With that being said.....that hot tub scene seemed a little too real for me.....so maybe the Joe/Samantha/Juelia triangle is for real.

 

I actually feel bad for Ashley S.......I wonder what turned Dan off to her???

 

I couldn't stand JJ last season, but I'm liking him n this show.


Wow, Lotus, you literally wrote exactly what I thought after getting done watching this show.  And I mean everything.

I also agree that Ashley is a beautiful girl.

I wonder what the real deal is with Ashley????  On one of the the after BIP shows it was stated that she always did most of the girls hair and makeup, and I think she has a successful career as a stylist in NYC.

 

How bad (and quirky) could she really be?

 

Does anyone know what she did to turn off Dan?   He was rather vague with his explanation.

PS.....in addition to Joe being a jerk and a dirtbag, he seems like a real horney dumba$$!

 

Has he had a real conversation with anyone?

 

His relationship with Samantha seems to be just s*xual.  They haven't had a conversation either.

The 'guys' being so upset with Joe is rather boring.  Don't they have anything else better to do over there in 'paradise'?

Ashley is playing a role. The producers and Chris Harrison like her a lot, and they talked her into (and paid her well for) BIP. Smiley Wink

 

 She is not that crazy at all IRL. Apparently Dan liked her a lot, but didn't see her as his ever after, and he was honestly looking for that. 

 

Spoiler
According to RS, she is now happily dating someone from her hometown and does not want to be on any other Bachelor franchise shows!

The live after show was funny.  JJ is representing himself better on BIP. He's best friends with Clint. lol. So JJ doesn't work to take care of his daughter. Does he have full custody? Seems very odd. How does he pay the bills,,,rich parents?

 

I don't see any of the "couples" getting married. They mainly want to to be on TV and have a fling.

 

Samantha seemed out of it. Was she drinking too much?

As for JJ, he seems to be redeeming himself, somewhat IMO.  I wonder too about not working for 3 years.  That's very telling to me unless he invested enough while working to be able to live off of that while paying bills and taking care of his daughter.  I thought he lived in a "loft" upstairs with his parents.

 

The tweet that Samantha made certainly showed she has no class IMO.   Certainly not a friend I'd want to have.  She and Joe deserve one another IMO.
