Bachelor In Paradise - Episode 6 September 1 2014 - General Discussion - *Spoilers*

I like Jackie. I think it's just that she's no drama unlike the crazies.  I also prefer Zack to Brooks so would definitely have chosen him. This is the first time I saw that Brooks has a sense of humor. Sarah was really into him so interesting that she decided to stick with Robert.

I can't stand Jesse. I liked him in Jillian's season but found out he was really full of himself right after when he went to Austin post-show with some of the other guys. Someone I know met him. I liked Tasos tonight. I wonder where he lives?

I'm skipping the spoilers so will just guess that Graham leaves. Ashlee's crying and it sounded like he was saying he was going in the preview. I have no idea how they're going to end the show without a RC. 

I am sooooo glad Kovacs is gone. He is the biggest loser this franchise has ever invested in, much less brought back repeatedly. What is wrong with them to have a guy on that is so blatantly disrespectful to women?

It was great the girls stood up for Christy. It makes me sort of sad to see Christy at a point where she can't defend herself without the other girls by her side.

I know there isn't a lot of Clare love on this board, but it made me feel like Zack was cheating on her tonight with Jackie. He was all about Jackie and didn't hold back for a second...on their first date? Makes me feel like he used Clare. He should have let her go long before last week so she could have had a chance with someone else.

I'm with some of you who don't see the draw in Jackie. She's dated more guys than anyone else on BIP. It's like she can't really connect with one person so each week she tries several. And seriously. She gave Kovacs a rose over Marquel last week? Makes me question her moral compass.

Brooks was not on this show long enough. That's all.

I love Cody Code. I hope Michelle doesn't break his heart.

Marcus and Lacy are the sweetest couple ever. I hope we get a televised wedding.

Next weeks Finale looks fun. Basically, I've really enjoyed this show. Yes, it's over the top. But it sure is fun to blog!

I see the draw of Jackie for the guys, she is hot and she seems down to earth, she doesn't seem high maintenance, she is young and she seems to be fairly normal.....

Best part of the whole show this entire season?? BROOKS!! Love me some Brooks. None of these girls are adventurous or intelligent enough for him. He has a very witty sense of humor, that we didn't see as much of during Des's season. I think things would have been different had he arrived weeks earlier. I wonder what would have happened if he asked Sarah to go on the date and she accepted?

Jackie is very dull to me also.
Jesse isn't even worth the energy is takes me to type his name out!
Tasos is sweet and not a match for Christy!
Lacy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but they are very sweet together.

Cannot wait for all the breakdowns next week!!

Best part of this show for me is seeing all the creatures they manage to show. Raccoons, lizards, bats etc.

I loved seeing Brooks and agree with Nutty about his sense of humor. However I don't get the feeling any of these girls were a right fit for him. I thought Zack and Jackie fit better.

I like Zack and Jackie types in real life but it's probably because they are drama free and not over the top. If you had a lot of these types on the show everyone would be falling asleep. Thank goodness we have the crazies of Ashlee and others.

I've really enjoyed BIP and can't wait till next week to see what happens.

Sleezy Jesse did provide all of the entertainment in an otherwise boring show. Christy looked more annoyed by him than eager to murder him. That was Michelle who had the meat cleaver ready and sharpened... and she was using HIM for relationship advice with Cody!

I still wonder if all that much happened, despite all of his sex talk. They probably were too drunk and passed out when the nightcam cameras were operating to do much... successfully, that is.

My problem with Marcus and Lacy is that they are too sweet. They are giving me serious tooth decay, although the forest friends on their last date kept me awake. I do enjoy them by themselves. They can be amusing when trashtalking other contestants... Lacy critiquing AshLee (despite appearing buddy-buddy post-show) and Marcus acting like he is the wholesome boy-next-door while Chris Bukowski and Jesse are the only guys incapable of "keeping it zipped"... as if Lacy was always his first. Riiiiiight.

I love Cody Code too, but that relationship is kinda... oh well. I will DEFINITELY watch him and Michelle get married on TV, if they do, since there will be no need to insert shots of deer, monkeys, bats, catfish and iguanas as with Marcus and Lacy. All I have to do is turn off the volume and watch Cody's facial expressions.

I think Zack telling Jackie he "wasted time" with Clare had a lot to do with the drama going on with her. That was the Big Turn-Off for him. Re-watching many of their scenes together, he looked happy with her before AshLee got her mad. After she confronted him with all of the "why didn't you tell AshLee off for calling me a %$#@ with Juan Pablo?" schtick, his body language changed abruptly with her.

Yes, he was always interested in Jackie but I seriously doubt he viewed her as a "better" choice than Clare... UNTIL, that is, the way Clare stomped off into the jungle and decided to leave "and don't stop me because my bags are packed". I will give him some slack that they were only a couple for two weeks or so. Also he was hoping Jackie would be on the show. (I do think Christy turned him on though... and distracted his Clare Bear focus.)

Problem: both he and Jackie are b-o-r-i-n-g together. Also she looks less interested in him than he is in her. Yeah, she has already tasted Marquel, Jesse and Brooks... and Zack is really her "default" even if he let her know she wasn't his.

Tasos and Brooks are fun to watch by themselves... just not on dates. The best Brooks/Jackie moment was when he lost his train of thought and the two appeared as if they were floating in orbit.

Jesse, we have to ask: did you have the first known threesome in Bachelor history?

No that’s not – it’s not exactly how it went down, as I remember it, but there are probably some things I don’t quite remember.

But what happened was, there may have been some activity between myself and Lucy on the way back from our date. But then once we got back to the resort, we all kind of just separated, and I ended up sort of hooking up with Christy, and fell asleep in their hut. Christy and Lucy were sharing this hut, and I woke up at like 5:30 in the morning, and I literally opened my eyes, and Lucy’s face was like a couple inches away from mine. I kind of shook it off and stood up and grabbed my clothes and got out of there. The whole threesome thing, that didn’t happen.

He may be a douchbag, but

At the time, the only real person I noticed [being phony] was AshLee. She was getting upset at the producers because she was like, “How come Graham and I haven’t had another date? That’s what America wants to see.” I was like, that statement is so ridiculous, that she is thinking about what America – America doesn’t give a sh*t about you! She definitely was very concerned about how she was portrayed, and how her editing would be.

"...there may have been some activity between myself and Lucy on the way back from our date"

What kind, Jesse?

This show has to end. Everybody looked like they were acting in the last episode, fumbling over their lines. I am so clueless as to what is REAL and what isn't in this "reality" TV show.

One good thing. Harrison's interruptions were asking "Would you like to date Chris Soules?" Not "Would you like to date the next Bachelor or Bachelorette?" (We want to surprise you with "who".) Does this mean fewer actresses next season?

I missed this. When did he say that?

Mike Fleiss‏@fleissmeister·7h
Congratulations to my entire production team for making a truly great show. And thanks to our fantastic cast. #BachelorInParadise is gold!!!

Twice before the commercials. Harrison always says this stuff on the show... over a blank screen with words. This was a first in that Chris was actually named.

They probably have 20+ already cast, but if there are at least ten more actually SERIOUS and ready for a possible life in Iowa, then the potential of Chris actually marrying his final one is so much greater. We can say what we want here about him being "boring", but my overall vibe is that Fleiss and Harrison have more confidence in him than a number of past leads.

Totally agree.  I don't get it either.

I would say the same about Robert and Zach also, myself.  Wishing they had some more charismatic characters all season.  Brooks and Tasos were a breath of fresh air for me.

Agree, the bland seem to have survived the longest in this trainwreck.

ETA: I'm in Texas. On at least 3 of the commercial breaks they were asking women to apply for TB Chris. Did everyone hear the same?

I am in East GA/SC and yes we had it too.

Sarah and Brooks don't seem like a good match to me. He is very adventurous and she has never seemed that way. Plus, I find her whiny.
