The best thing to come out of the primetime network, ABC? "Bachelor in Paradise," duh! If you didn't watch it, you seriously missed out. The spin-off of the addictive reality TV shows, "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" throw a handful of previous contestants onto a beautiful beach off of the coast of Mexico, give them a bunch of alcohol and see if they can find love! If they don't then they are kicked off the show, HA! Great concept, am I right?
Obviously, this show is absurd and consists of endless crying, hook-ups, over-the-top dates and slyly convinces other contestants to give you a rose even if you don't really like them.
Highlights
Episode 1: Hurricane Chad
It was pure television genius. Nothing more entertaining that an absurdly aggressive drunk man who causes an abundance of petty drama right off the bat! Chad Johnson from last season of "The Bachelorette" knows how to get air time. From threatening other cast members, to making crude comments about other women, to crapping his pants, he just never gets old! To be honest, I wish he were the Bachelor next season.
Evan and Carly
Wow, what a truly bizarre couple. I have throughly enjoyed watching quirky, 30-year-old Carly and Evan, Erectile Dysfunction Expert, hit things off! Evan gives me the creeps, not going to lie. I mean, Erectile Dysfunction Expert? Sorry, but what does that job entail? Actually, no don't tell me. I don't want to know.
Josh
Andi Dorfman's leftovers, Josh Murray, who was absolutely ripped apart in Andi's tell-all book, and from the looks of it what she had to say is 100% accurate. His pointless arguments about dumb things like, which couple gets the big bed for the night, or who's been talking about his relationship behind his back. Come on now, Josh. Grow up, bud. And for the record, you brother Aaron is hotter.
Ashley I
Poor gal can't get through a 20 minutes segment without bawling her eyes out. It's a shame because aside from her awesome style and killer good looks, she actually is pretty hilarious. But, she's completely emotionally unstable—bummer! Any who, chances are she is still madly in love with Jared and he still wants nothing to do with her.
Finale
Not one but three proposals came out of this season of "Bachelor in Paradise." Wowza. Not quite sure how many weeks these couples were together, but holy crap. I mean I guess if you know, then you know, but still. Alright, so the least shocking of the bunch to get engaged: Amanda and Josh. Amanda doesn't care that Josh hasn't met her kids, she'll say yes anyway...interesting! Carly and Evan, I mean, highly interesting couple but best of luck to them I guess. Evan is a nerdy dad of two, hence the "hashtag blessed." My favorite quote Evan during the finale has to be "My heart beats to your soul." Sorry, I think I just threw up in my mouth. Lastly, Grant and Lace. Also known as Grace. By far the best couple out there because they are real AF. She's a crazy nut job and Grant loves her anyways. How beautiful.
Clearly this season was jam-packed with nonsense and I loved every minute of it. Why does it have to be over?! Give me more trashy reality TV, please! I just can't wait for January to see Nick fail as the new Bachelor. The countdown begins now.
