Bachelor In Paradise - Season 5 - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Oh I think he is genuine. A genuine kook.

@GuardianAngel I think he meant that they stopped paying a prize $ amount Bachelor Pad style but still gave them a “daily rate” stipend (he said a lot of contestants would be happy to come as long as they’re paid their daily rates because it’s so much fun and can work).

So unlike Bachelor Pad, WG and BIP don’t have official $ prizes - only the prize of “love”

@TheWrongReasons That's what I heard too, but didn't want to say in case I remembered incorrectly!

I do think that most people would do it for free, since the IG followings (and subsequent sponsorships and appearance fees) are the real money makers. And twu luv, of course!

@Aria Yep, and they do the main series for free and even spend $ on it. It’s a cool experience if you have thick enough skin, I suppose. I’m glad someone is doing it for my entertainment

Some Astrid/Kevin IG stuff:

I wonder who the mystery Bach US person he’s bringing is? Astrid? Colton? (I don’t think Colton would commit to a September event when he’s probably in the running for Bachelor though). Some people were guessing Lesley or Eric in the comments, too.

On his podcast with Brandi, Wells announced he is relocating to LA and moving in with Sarah.
He also said he went out drinking with Kevin W recently in Nashville. Not much else BIP related.

new promo?

Were there any rumours about Joe the Grocer? I looked at his IG because I haven't since sleuthing. I wanted to see what he was up to and if there were any TB hints. He has posted quite a few IG's. I went back to page 8 and didn't see anything mentioned about him on BIP.

He posted an IG story in LA with Bibiana and then with Astrid. He sure is adorable.

Apparently Kendall and Joe were a couple during BIP but they broke up before the final rose ceremony. She was in Chicago a couple weekends ago along with some other BIP people (Venmo John, David the chicken and Olivia Goethals) that all hung out together along with Joe.

Kendall did an IG story last night that had her, David, John, Bibi, Joe and her sister all hanging out together. So whether they are still a couple or just friends who knows. If they aren't together they aren't enemies since they are hanging out.

Kendall was celebrating a friend's birthday today so that is probably why she wasn't with Joe and Bibi when they were hanging out together in Santa Monica.

I'm actually wondering if Kendall and David are getting interested in each other. They have hung out together even before the Chicago trip...

Lots of time before the BIP reunion... who knows what can happen!

@havadrpepper thanks for the recap and the amazing sleuthing you've been doing on the contestants.

I know I've been extremely busy with other things, but right now I have no clue who David is.

David = Chicken suit

@havadrpepper Oh right, thank you.

Close to taxidermy... could be a match
