Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 5: Best and worst moments

By Julia Wagner

BACHELOR IN PARADISE - “704” – When it comes to “Paradise,” the more, the merrier as they say. Two new men arrive, promptly choosing a pair of lucky ladies to take on a hot and heavy double date and one coupled-up cutie contemplates if she’s ready to stop exploring other options. Meanwhile, things fall apart as one hopeless romantic learns the object of his affection visited the Boom Boom Room with someone else and guest host Lance Bass gives his best advice to a woman who’s dying for her man to make a move. With a rose ceremony on the horizon, romantic tension is building on the beach, but the biggest conflict of the night is about much more than a rose – just ask Aaron and Thomas – on “Bachelor in Paradise,” MONDAY, AUG. 30 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

Tuesday night’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 brought new arrivals, surprising breakups, and sudden departures.

Question: Why do the hosts keep leaving before the rose ceremony? I would have loved to see Lance Bass for a while longer. Did he have to leave right at that second??

And with that in mind, let’s get to the best and worst moments of the episode!

Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 5: Best moment: Familiar faces

Thank the Lord for Becca and Tia! So far, this season has felt like a lot of focus on people who we barely know. It felt so comforting to have some familiar faces and throwback references.

I would include Kendall in this, but it feels tainted by the fact that she may just be there because of Joe. Who knows. We will see!

Becca in particular is so well known in Bachelor Nation that it felt like an old friend coming down the beach! I had to laugh at her stoicism in her conversation with Aaron. He was just pouring his heart out to her and she just calmly stared at him. Classic. I must say I was surprised Aaron got her rose, (in his words, it was “biblical”??) but presumably that won’t last long.

Tia was a breath of fresh air as well. Not to mention those random naked volleyball players. Well done, Bachelor in Paradise!

Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 5: Worst moment: Abigail and Noah

Okay. I’m confused. This was a case of the audience being kept in the dark as to relationship development.

What happened here??

As soon as Abigail sat down next to Noah, it was clear he was moderately checked out, lying down and staring off into the distance.

Abigail explained that she doesn’t feel like their relationship is official, as affectionate, or as fast-moving as others on the beach. Frankly, that makes sense, considering she told Noah she wanted to take things very slowly and often puts guys in the friend zone for eight months.

That being said, Noah seemed so distant that I wonder if something offensive actually happened. Noah did hint that he keeps doing things for her and they’re not appreciated.

I say again, what happened? And why didn’t we see it? Show us more!!
