Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 5: War of Roses

By Fatemeh Mirjalili

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.

Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 5 was wild. A former Bachelorette showed up before the rose ceremony, two contestants self-eliminated, and two guys fought over some jewellery, or in the words of contestant Demi Burnett, some “ugly-ass” jewellery.  And some women gave out friendly roses.

Let’s dive into the War of Roses from Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Episode 5, and be sure to share your comments below!

War of Roses: Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Couple 1: Deandra’s Rose Goes To Ivan

Not Karl, not Chasen, Deandra’s rose goes to Ivan! Rose lovers, I was pretty sure Deandra was about to say goodbye to Karl and pick Chasen after her double date with him went really well, but the men brought this upon themselves.

After her date with Chasen was over, Karl tried to pull a one-up by giving his date a pandora bracelet, but Chasen wasn’t having it. So he gave Deandra an equally hideous necklace, which she wore to avoid an awkward conversation I’m sure. There’s no way she actually liked it.

After getting the necklace, Deandra returned Karl’s bracelet to him revealing that she doesn’t see them going anywhere. Later, Karl lashes out at Chasen for copying his idea and gifting Deandra jewellery. At this point, I am almost certain Chasen is getting Deandra’s rose, but when she appears at the podium sans the “ugly-ass” jewellery, she gives her rose to Ivan because he “deserves” to stay on the beach. Best decision on Paradise so far!

 War of Roses: Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Couple 2: Tammy’s Rose Goes To Thomas

The Tammy, Aaron and Thomas conflict was resolved-ish after the rose-giver explained to Aaron that she was more interested in pursuing Thomas. She apparently didn’t mean to hurt him by straddling his “mortal enemy” and making him watch, but Aaron doesn’t care. He labels her a liar and calls her out for betraying him, and she gives her rose to Thomas.

War of Roses: Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, Couple 3: Becca’s Rose Goes To Aaron

Former Bachelorette Becca Kufrin’s arrival sent a lot of people over the edge, especially Tahzjuan who was already teetering between anger and tears after Tre left the beach. But not Aaron. He sits down with Becca, who is disappointed to hear he is five years her junior and expresses his “past crush” on her. Becca is a little floored? I don’t know.

I couldn’t read her throughout the episode. They have a really odd conversation, Aaron has absolutely no game and still seems annoyed by Tammy, but gets some much-needed confidence boost after Becca gives him her rose. Why? Because he’s living up to the hype as the funniest person on the beach. Girl, have you met Demi?

Other roses given out were pretty predictable, Maurissa’s goes to Riley, Serena’s to Joe, Abigail gives her rose to Noah, Jessenia to Chris, Demi to Kenny and Mari to James. Say a prayer for Connor, please. No elimination has broken my heart this way since Rachel Lindsay and Peter Kraus’ split up.
