Bachelor in Paradise – ep 4

It’s episode 4 already. I wonder how the ratings are going?
The premiere was the fourth most-watched show of the night (after Seven and Nine news and 60 Minutes), so a strong opener. But on day two it slipped into 14th spot, beaten even by Nine’s Travel Guides.
You can find out the latest ratings at TV Tonight website.


Is that Leah with Michael in this photo? Guess that means he’s still in the poo with Tara.

So, tonight in the Drama Cabana … yeah, totally dibs on calling it that from now on.

But is it me, or is this slowly becoming the prelude to a particularly excruciating horror movie, where Flo — after watching Jake dry-humping everything with a pulse for a week — finally just snaps and begins stabbing people with their own cocktail sticks?

Windsong

We definitely need to spend more time with the campy cocktail maker.

And I know it makes for dull television, but can we at least check in on the stable, functional relationships? You know, are Luke and Lisa still good? Eden (who’s oddly charming in all his interviews) and Nina? Have Michael and Tara patched things up with with a cocktail by the pool?

Daisy

The sensible, functional ones are strangely disfunctional just by the fact that they are normal. Normal is rtv abnormal.

Windsong

Poor Mack. We have another victim of a broken-heart drowning his sorrows by the bar. I blame Osher. But mostly Leah.

Littlepetal

But Mack is not too sure. He wants Ali as well

Sara

Flo is ruining this programme.

Windsong

She is, isn’t she?

It’s like, let’s cut to Jarrod and Ali on their date … and quickly cut back to Flo being pissed off at Jake. Now, let’s see if Kiera and Michael have a connection … but hang on, we need to see Flo throw a glass of champagne at Jake. Over on the other side of the island, Mack’s getting his heart broken by Leah … but what’s happening with Flo and Jake?!?

The Flo/Jake narrative has taken over, by this point, and I feel like even the other contestants have just about had a gutful of the whole mess. I hope they both end up roseless. Flo even starting snapping at Wais, the campy cocktail maker. Not cool Flo. You leave Wais alone.

And if Jake is found floating face-down in the pool tomorrow, it’s not like there’s gonna be many suspects, is there? Gosh, this whole trip is turning into an Agathie Christie novel.

Daisy

Ooooh. That’s exciting. I look forward to it. I meant the ads, not Sugar Baby. Dr Phil would be indignant. I think go for it Juz. You could get a Gucci bag and your hecs fees paid.

Daisy

No no, if you are a Sugar Babe, your Daddy will buy you a car.

Windsong

I just got told to enrol in college, so clearly Google thinks I’m stupid 🙁 .

Littlepetal

Jake is such an ###. He is not honest and lying all the time. No wonder none of his relationships lasted.

Littlepetal

I am getting ad for gorgeous diamond rings!!!

Daisy

I am getting ads for gorgeous apartments in Prague. Book me in Baby.

Windsong

Oh wait, now I’m getting ads for toys I looked at from a Japanese hobby website. Now we’re talking. If they start advertising Lego, I’m *screwed*.

brain dead dave

I’m “chuffed” to see the dog t shirt ads.

Jazzman

I’m liking most of the people on this show more than on their original shows. They aren’t trying to hard to make an impact.
Not flo though. Jake must have been a real dick wad

Windsong

You gotta say, though, that Flo is just a little bit too obsessed. I imagine she’s mad at herself for falling for him, and taking that out on him, but it’s like, c’mon girlfriend, just walk away already.

Littlepetal

I think Jake and Flo have some love hate relationship before. Jake always know how to lie and try to win Flo back. You can tell he is a lying bas#ard.

Windsong

Jake seems like one of those guys who doesn’t know how to commit. His mind-set seems to be, “but why can’t I date both girls who are into me?!” That doesn’t scream long-term relationship material to me.

Daisy

BTW…what is a dick wad???

Windsong

It’s not something pleasant, put it that way.

Windsong

“Jarrod’s really into you. You can probably tell.”

Uh, Michael? Of course Ali can tell that. We can all tell that. That’s Jarrod’s thing, being visibly and obviously in love with somebody on national television. He’s Jarrod. He’s probably already picked out the engagement ring.

Meanwhile, I feel really bad for Kiera, which I was not expecting. Damn it Jarrod, you’re breaking the poor girl’s heart.

Littlepetal

I am hard hearted. Keira knows how to get air time. She will dump Jarrod even if she have Jarrod

Daisy

I’s not the first time Keira has bawled her eyes out on national tv. She gets paid to do it.

Littlepetal

Jake is such a terrible person. He even try to manipulate Michael to give a rose to Flo. Thank God Michael is strong enough to not to listen to Jake

Jazzman

Good on you Michael. I’m suprised that I have really been warming to him. And Leah too. I liked Mack at first but now he seems a little superficial

Windsong

I thought the rose ceremony was hilarious.

Blake forgets Laurina’s name, and I’m sure we’ll hear all about that on Sunday evening. Mack swoops and gives Ali the Jarrod wanted to give her (shock! Gasp! And gee, Jarrod turns bright red when he’s upset) while Michael does his best, “fuck you Jake” impression and refuses to play along with Jake. Props to Michael for standing strong.

Meanwhile, not really gonna miss Flo all that much. I think we got as much drama out of her and Jake’s trainwreck relationship as we were going to get. I like that Tara and Uncle Sam are bubbling along nicely, but I’m interested to see where Kiera’s storyline goes.

Izobel2

Totally agree with you about everything u said Windsong !
😎

Littlepetal

Michael seems more genuine and caring on this show.

Didnt he got hell from Sam Frost after she dumped him

Daisy

I am clicking on the ads, Juz, so that they know we are paying attention.

Swimwear Galore. Homeaway apartments. And real estate.

Littlepetal

I read Flo is now in a relationship with Davey.

Windsong

Really?

Oh Flo, honey, at some point, I think you just need to reevaluate your taste in men.

Daisy

Look away poiples. Keira doesn’t want you to see this.

Daisy

Yeah. Bull shark.

brain dead dave

Mack the bottom feeder.

Daisy

😂

Daisy

If Mack’s a shark, he is out of his depth withAli and Leah.

And Jake rhymes with….

Daisy

(Laughs). I call this “friend zone”.

brain dead dave

Pretty inconsiderate of Ch 10 not to equip Ali with a stick to beat these gice off with. She’d truly be a stunner .

Ali’s friend zone is probably bigger than Texas.

Daisy

And “the shark” is annoyed that the pretty girl wants to “test the waters”.

brain dead dave

The plotting predator is literally all ears.

Daisy

😂😂😂

Windsong

I feel like the ear jokes write themselves, but at some point, it’s just fish in a barrel. I’m sure he’s got a lovely personality.

brain dead dave

One has to question how committed Mack is to finding love . After all, Bachelor Matty J had his ears surgically pinned back to make him hotter. Surely some funds from Mack’s gangbusting window cleaning business could be funnelled into that.

Mack ~ “I’m ear to find love and I’ll be chuffed if I can! “

Sara

Oh Dave, you are awful!

Daisy

😂😂😂

Windsong

I just want to try some of those cocktails they’re all drinking. Some of them look delicious.

Littlepetal

But the shark also want to test the water. What a hypocrite

Daisy

OK, Mac. When have you EVER been able to get something like Leah.
Ithink she is the prettiest.

Daisy

“……so I will just pick my ear”. Turn off.

brain dead dave

Mack’s morphed into a stunned mullet there. Clueless In Paradise.

Littlepetal

Agree that Leah has the most natural look out of the lot.

Daisy

Domestic violence. I am enjoying Flo more in Paradise Lost than in TB.

Daisy

Jarrod on a date with Ali is like a kid who opens someone else’s Christmas present and says, “I got a bike”.

Windsong

Awww. Poor Jarrod. I’m just waiting for Apollo to show up and *really* kick Jarrod’s inferiority complex into high gear.

Jarrod will be giving out pot plants like lollies at Halloween, just watch.

brain dead dave

Jarrod’s headed for more heartache because an American chiselled hunk ( not the bald guy) is going to arrive and try to steal Keira from him. His pity party will be firing up soon, according to the promos I saw. The producers are using him for sport.

Jarrod got a bike for Xmas, but all the other guys want to ride it first.

Daisy

Yep, the producers are hanging Jarrod out like a rabbit at a greyhound party. Is he really sucha doofus as to think he’s got a shot at Ali. Although she does have doofus face, she won’t be giving her Rose to Jarrod.
If this is for real, see how the guys fall for kittenish, although Leah is way better looking. Again, try the bald test. Leah doesn’t even rely on packs of make up or big tarantula lashes. Nor does Lisa. Not that I am knocking kittenish coquette. And Ali is pretty. But the boys are buzzing like she is fly paper.

Bobi

It’s the blonde.
I don’t get it, probably because I am not blonde, but I am told by every guy I have ever met that just being blonde takes a girl from average to a cut above.
There must be something they are imagining.

Windsong

I don’t really get it all that much either. I tend to fall for dark-haired guys. I don’t see the instant appeal to blonde hair. *shrug*

Daisy

It’s in their jeans.

brain dead dave

He’ll have the biggest hose.

Plus he can take care of Apollo and Elora when they “fire up”

Daisy

To quote Mac the Knife, “Woweee”, Jake the germ. No woman in Australia should date him after seeing him juggle(badly) two women.
Aside to Michael, “Pick Flo. Pick Flo”. What a mongrel.

Bobi

I can see why Flo got so much airtime. That drama was only available for a limited time.
And the screen shot of Laura/Lauren/Whatevs …. and Tara was special. I bet the cameraman got a bonus for that one.
Dear God, please don’t let Kiera go home.
This is so much fun.

brain dead dave

The promos are promising “A Week Of Keira Drama!”

Get ready.

brain dead dave

Yes. Extra night Wednesday. What can I say….I’m chuffed.

Gold Medal to Ch 10.

Daisy

Ha ha. I just got an add for tarot cards. My angel must have been ordering them. 😜

Windsong

There should ALWAYS be more Wais. In fact, can we organise him to get his own spin-off?

Windsong

Hold your hat … but Wais just replied to one of my comments on Facebook.

And he used the kiss and love-heart-eyes emojis, so I think he might’ve been flirting with me a little. I don’t mind this development.

Daisy

You should invite him to talk to his fans on ttv, Windsong. I bet he would.

Windsong

There was a little clip on the Bachidise FB page with Nina and Eden chatting, and I left a comment saying how adorable the pair looked (and how I hoped they lasted), and Nina herself just hit ‘like’ on what I said.

I’m feeling quite chuffed.

But maybe they do go the distance? I hope so. They’re so cute together, and they seem to have a functional, healthy relationship.

brain dead dave

We’re chuffed that you’re chuffed.

Bobi

I wonder why it’s Kiera dram and not Jarrod drama?
The promo makes it look like Jarrod is being true to form, and Kiera is chatting up someone else.
Given Jarrod tried to limpet Ali to no avail, it’s a bit ingenuous of him lay claim to his second choice and then become tearful when he is relegated.
Before we even start, I am Camp Kiera … because that is more fun.

Daisy

Jarrod is going the right way about securing his position as rtv’s male version of a bunny boiler. Is that really the celebrity status he wants?

brain dead dave

Jarrod’s going to get burned~ and not just by the sun.

Ch 10 should at least give him some sun cream and some razors. Then again, he might not be stable enough to be left with the razors.

Windsong

Yeah, I’d be keeping Jarrod away from sharp objects, particularly towards the dramatic end of the season.

I just think that would be better for everybody.
