Buckle up, folks.
Wefinallyhave another rose ceremony in Paradise.
‘Bachelor in Paradise’ABC
Five weeks in, and this is only the second rose exchange.
The men are on pins and needles, since it looks like five of them are going home.
But, none of the men really care.
They just want a rose.
And theyre all putting their best foot forward.
Sean brings her a shot, and Sam admits shes put off by his age.
Meanwhile, Peter compliments Sams looks forherage (even though shes only 34?).
Kylee gives her rose to Avan (unsurprising).
Rachel offers hers to Brayden.
Eliza chooses Aaron B. Jess picks Blake.
Kat gives Tanner a rose.
Olivia chooses John Henry, and Mercedes picks Tyler bringing two love triangles to a close.
Sam, sort of shockingly, settles on Peter.
Bye bye, Sean, Will, John B. and Aaron S!
The first goes to Rachel, who asks Brayden on a date.
Not long after, Davia from Zachs season ofThe Bachelorenters the beach with another date card.
After one conversation with Tanner, she asks him on a date without speaking to anyone else.
He accepts, and he pulls Kat aside to chat.
Sam tries to tell Kat she should put the birthday thing aside, because it was just poor timing.
In her eyes, Kat cant blame Tanner for taking another date opportunityjust becauseits Kats birthday.
But, shocker, Kat does not agree.
Tanner seems fairly unbothered on his date, though.
The rest of the group decides to play truth or dare, and things get a little messy.
Peter kisses Kylee as a dare.
Mercedes makes out with John Henry.
Kat takes a body shot off of John Henry.
Olivia sucks on John Henrys finger…lots of love for John Henry tonight.
The tension really reaches a fever pitch when Jess is asked if Blake is her No.
1 person right now.
She hesitates…for a while.
Then, she says yes, but only because hes really her only connection at the moment.
Blake is rightfully confused, so he asks Jess for some clarity.
Unfortunately, it doesnt look like hes going to get it.
When he asks Jess why shes unsure, she starts to cry.
She doesnt think shes put enough effort into exploring her options, and she isnt sure what she wants.
The next morning, the vibes are weird.
Davia hits the beach first, and she tells the girls that her date went well.
Finally, Tanner graces the beach.
Cant imagine Olivia will take that well.
Bachelor in Paradiseairs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT followingThe Golden Bacheloron ABC.
