Rose lovers, Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 4 was pure dumpster fire trash–for the people on the show of course. For us viewers, it was quality television and I can’t tell you how pleased I am.

You’d expect that hot singles who date other hot singles on a dating show that was literally born out of that concept would know, that getting your boo stolen from you isn’t as big of a deal as it seems.

But not in Paradise. Apparently “exclusive dating” has multiple definitions here, and they’re only valid unless another hot single comes walking down the stairs.

Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 4 didn’t include a rose ceremony which is now a weekly trait, so let’s discuss everyone’s imploding relationships and who could give a rose to whom in the episode to come!

War of Roses: Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Couple 1: Jessenia and Chris

Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 4 saw two new arrivals, both from Clare/Tayshia’s season. There’s Chris, who is relatively unknown and didn’t exist before this episode and then there’s Chasen, a semi-villain who famously called The Bachelorette a smoke show.

Chris takes Jessenia out on a date, who was in a solid pairing with Ivan, and who also, by the way, only wanted to see Chris on Paradise. Throughout their date, Ivan tells himself things he wants to hear, “I can’t see them doing too much physically.” And right when he says that, we see Chris and Jessenia working with an intimacy guru, practicing Kama Sutra positions.

When they return, Jessenia sits down with Ivan and explains that Chris has a “spark” she’s been missing with him. They talk a bit more, and she makes her choice. A sad Ivan goes for a walk on the beach. Pretty sure Jessenia and he are over, and Chris is getting the rose!

War of Roses: Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 4, Couple 2: Kenny and Demi

Mari and Kenny had a good thing going. But she feels as if it’s time to tell him that she wants to keep things open. She sits Kenny down and gives him an indecisive speech, saying that she wants to go on dates with other people while keeping him as her “focus”. Like us, the boy-band manager is confused and says she can’t have it both ways, because he won’t sit around waiting for her.

So now, we understand this means that they’ll both see other people, so Kenny and Demi start flirting a bit, and soon they’re making out in Mari’s line of vision. She gets mad later and throws his birthday cake (brought in by Demi) in the fire. Demi and Mari later have an argument where Mari blames her for wrecking their relationship, but as expected, Demi holds her own. Kenny later announces that he and Mari are done, and he is with Demi now. Kinda obvious he will accept Demi’s rose now!

War of Roses: Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Couple 3: Tammy and Thomas

Regardless of how much drama the producers managed to pack into Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 4, we had a Tammy/Aaron/Thomas love triangle. I have been waiting for Tammy to scoop up Thomas in her arms ever since he came to Paradise. Can you imagine how mad Aaron could get?

And isn’t that the whole reason why Thomas was asked to come to Bachelor in Paradise anyway? So Tammy walks past Aaron and meets Thomas on the daybed where she randomly starts making out with him. And that too, right in front of Aaron who is about to explode with all that anger piling up inside him.

Thomas calls her a “villain” flirtatiously, but honestly, it made me cringe. The episode ends with an Aaron and Thomas confrontation, where the former demands some “respect”. I don’t know what Tammy is gonna do, but let me tell you this: Aaron is never going to live this down, so her rose is gonna go to Thomas.

Next. Bachelor in Paradise: 6 former leads we want to see on the beach. dark
