Bachelor in Paradise: former foes become love triangle besties as a fan favorite gets blindsided
Sayulita, Mexico - The latest episode of Bachelor in Paradise saw unlikely besties help one another through their respective love triangles as Bachelor Nation's favorite "zaddy" pulled a 180 on an unsuspecting woman.
The fourth episode of BIP's eighth season picked up where last Tuesday's episode left off, with the contestants struggling to understand why Teddi Wright got the heck out of dodge as Rodney Mathews tried to figure out the complex and ever-changing logistics of Paradise.
Shocking to everyone – particularly Justin Glaze and bartender and fan favorite Wells Adams – was Rodney's decision to have a moonlit makeout session with Lace Morris.
While the women tried their best to hide their jealousy, Genevieve Parisi found herself in the middle of a love triangle with Justin and Aaron Clancy, which came to light on Justin's birthday – because of course it did.
Even though Aaron wasn't fond of Genevieve's lip-locking birthday gift to Justin, it's clear that she's got that something special with Aaron. Translation: Justin will just have to hope a special someone shows up to save him before the rose ceremony.
One of the strangest things Bachelor Nation witnessed on Monday's episode was Genevieve and Shanae Ankney actually supporting one another amid their respective love triangles, with Shanae realizing quickly that Logan Jones simply isn't it.
Instead, it's Aaron's BFF James Bonsall who seemingly hold the key to her heart.
Anything can happen in Paradise
Season 8's strongest couple, Brandon Jones and Serene Russell, had a swoon-worthy one-on-one date that easily reminded Bachelor Nation of why they loved him so much on Michelle Young's season of The Bachelorette. And for that reason, we have no choice but to ship them as a couple.
Though we all thought Michael Allio and Serene Jackson were another unbreakable couple, the "zaddy" of the group pulled a 180 and friend-zoned the Texas native after getting cold feet. This led Sierra to pack her stuff and leave Paradise.
With the ladies' first rose ceremony around the corner, will the six single men secure their spot on the beach? Find out when Bachelor in Paradise returns on Tuesday at 8 PM ET.
