Are they actively trying to run this show into the ground?
Lacey continues to be extremely dramatic and I cant stand her.
Or Daniel, honestly he seems fun but then when he speaks hes always a jerk?
Daniel calls himself a great white hope to Jasmine, and I cant even address it.
At the rose ceremony, Daniel gives his rose to Lacey (oh?
), and Jack Stone gives his to Christen.
I enjoyed Jasmines off-camera venting session (Go back to your little town in Connecticut.
Youll probably regret it.
Youre dead to me).
Then we get to Dean.
Dean who was a perfect angel on Rachels season and the devil himself in paradise.
Theres a clear physical attraction…I want to be open to that as a relationship moving forward.
Okay he likes Danielle.
He feels guilty about Kristina, but he likes Danielle.
Sonaturally,he gives the rose to…Kristina.
Well hey, at least theres an obstacle cleared, right?
Not so fast: Ben Z. gives D. Lo his rose.
Sarah and Alexis go home.
Well miss you, Alexis!
Dean says, Okay, give me a [CENSORED].
And then he says, Give me a second.
Give me another 20 seconds.
This isnt like, fun-Paradise raunchy.
It was just…strange.
Its all just a weird preview of Daniels date card.
Its interesting that Kristina is Daniels risk option and Deans safety pick.
At the same time, another tall man comes in with a date card: Jonathan, a.k.a.
the Tickle Monster from Rachels season, who ends up being a surprising hit with the ladies.
(Its fascinating as a viewer to hear who the women say is way better looking in person.
Jonathan is one such person.)
They also all call him Tickle, as in first name Tickle, last name Monster.
Ill go with it.
Tickle and Christen immediately make out, which throws poor Jack Stone who Im suddenly obsessed with?
He picks Christen for the date.
As strange as they both seem, theyre really getting along and both seem pleasantly surprised by it.
Yeah, Tickle, women can get jokes!
Its a new thing were trying.)
I do have to say, regarding this whole Scallop Fingers thing…its kind of mean, right?
All she did was get takeout one time, and maybe she was hungry but didnt have a fork.
Kristina is just so much more perceptive and smart and interesting altogether, he explains.
But D. Lo is just so fing hot.
You cant have it both ways, Dean.
Kristina cries to Robby: He and I stayed the night last night and you might assume what happened.
They look over at the pool, where Dean is canoodling with D. Lo.
Eventually, though, Kristina hardens and says, Im checking out.
Meanwhile, feet away from them, Dean shockingly isinitiatinga conversation about us with D. Lo.
Every single time I talk to you, I know what I want.
Youre the punch in of person I could fall in love with.
This is all too fast and too much!
I dont care enough about anyone except Kristina!
Raven tells the story of hanging out with Adam and Sarah again.
Amanda got dinner with Corinne last week and says, She seemed to be doing really well.
Thenthey do anentiresegment on Jasmine and Matt like its After the Final Rose.
This is such a waste of EVERYONES TIME.
Finally, its time for Corinne.
She was acting normally but was completely checked out that first night.
Overall, though, she says shes okay and maintains that the whole incident was annoying and frustrating.
So, friends: thoughts?
Are you rooting foranyonethis season?
