As always, Paradise Tuesday night provided plenty of things to poke fun at. With the arrival of foxy Jen, Blake has met enough girls at Stagecoach to form the world’s hottest basketball team. And Kristen transformed into the Spawn of Satan. But the night clearly belonged to My Queen Demi and Bachelor Nation’s collective night... Continue Reading →
Your Week 3 (Side A) Paradise Playlist
Wow. We’re now three weeks in which means the couplings and de-couplings are coming so fast that I can’t keep up. The theme at this point is chaos and mayhem and the only way I can make sense of it all is, of course, with music. Fight for Love (Kwabs) Last week’s cliffhanger is resolved.... Continue Reading →

He's got text message receipts and they indicate that Caelynn... Continue Reading →

Hannah B. Chooses to . . . Date (?)
Lies! Deceit! A cringeworthy proposal! Thank you, Bachelor franchise. Everything I’ve ever wanted, you were promising to deliver. Not only did you do that, you also gave me a logically satisfying ending – two people agreeing to go on a date. Yes, just a date. No Neil Lane ring. No engagement-and-we-break-up-later. Just a date. Like,... Continue Reading →
