Although summer is beginning to wind down and people are slowly getting ready for school, Bachelor in Paradise is finally on to get us all through the rest of the summer. For the past two summers after the Bachelorette has made their choice and the show comes to riveting end, ABC sends men and women that were not as lucky on the Bachelor and Bachelorette to a tropical island for another chance at love. It is essentially one big free for all which makes it that much more entertaining and captivating. Although only two episodes have aired, I can already tell that this season will even better than last. Here are some of my thoughts from the past two episodes:

Before going any further, it is only appropriate that I mention Chad. After his fiasco on the Bachelorette I was really hoping that we were going to see a better side of Chad and that maybe he would find a girl that would understand him and mellow him out, but Chad disappointed me yet again. Although him and Lace hit it off at the beginning, it all went down hill from there. He was a drunken lunatic and offended most of the people on the island as he had during his stint on the Bachelorette. I am disappointed that we did not see a softer and kinder version of Chad, but as always his antics and ultimate removal from the show did make for entertaining television.

I was a big Jubilee fan when she was on Ben's season of the Bachelor so I was super excited to hear that she was going to be on Bachelor in Paradise. I was really hopeful that she would be able to find someone and I was excited to watch that happen for her. Unfortunately, Jared just was not as into her and there really wasn't any chemistry. It did seem on their date that they did have some geeky similarities, but I do not think it was anything past that. I do wish she had a little more time on the island to find someone because I am always rooting for Jubilee.

Although originally I did not understand why Nick would try his luck again to find love on the Bachelor franchise, I was (am) still hopeful that he would find someone on this season. I am really rooting for Nick and with that said I am ready for Josh to go home already. Nick and Amanda seemed to really hit it off and appear like they would make a great couple until Josh showed up and stole her from Nick. I am hoping Amanda realizes Josh is not the guy for her and decides to pursue things with Nick.

Carly and Evan were easily the best part of the second episode. I found Carly super annoying last season, but I am definitely enjoying her more this season. Evan, on the other hand, still and always will creep me out. He is just a super uncomfortable person to watch on television. It was hilarious to watch the commentary from both Carly and Evan because both thought the opposite of their kiss and date. Evan was super into Carly and thought their kiss was awesome, whereas Carly was dreading their super awkward date and thought their kiss was terrible. It will definitely be interesting to see how Carly breaks the bad news to Evan about how she's just not into him.
