Bachelor in Paradise, Week 2, Day 2

Let's kick things off by critiquing D-Lo and Adam's addition to the intro--a solid lame.

Matt thinks they're a good match because of their mutual f***ed up upbringings.  Raven's interested in Adam and has her claws out for anyone that might want to mark her territory.  And then Sarah shows up.  Sarah gets a date card from Chris as she walks into the snake pit.

So during the shutdown, Adam, Raven and Sarah "spent the night together" (unclear if this was a threesome) and the next morning Raven walked in on Sarah and Adam cuddling.  Unlike D-Lo, Sarah has reservations about asking Adam on a date even though she's really interested in Adam.  Raven gives her blessing to Sarah to ask Adam out but Raven encourages Sarah to ask Ben out instead, who is doing his, "move rocks on the beach" routine. All of the women are pushing Ben and Sarah asks the question that I would ask, which is, "if Ben's so great, why are none of you with him?"  Still, Sarah pulls Ben aside.  Ben starts off with his dog immediately.  Sarah's clearly not into talking about the dog.  No shocker, Sarah asks Adam.  Raven's pissed.

Adam and Sarah
Adam kicks things off by calling Sarah "Rachel" in his interview.  Clearly there's something I'm missing with Adam.  Maybe he's normal and semi-intelligent and articulate and that's the appeal?  Adam says that Sarah has something that Raven doesn't.  I want to like Sarah and she does seem smarter than Raven but there's something crazy about her.  Adam, of all the guys, is torn between two women (well, I guess Dean too, but Dean's being way more of a DB.  Anyhoo, they go out and seem to have an amazing time.

Danielle has her sights set on Wells, who she apparently knew from before.

Lacey's looking for love and has never had a date card in her Bachelor history.  Lo and behold, her date card arrives.  It's from Jorge.  Lacey talks to several of the guys, who aren't interested in her so she ends up asking Diggy to go with her.  His words say he's interested but his body language says otherwise.

Diggy and Lacey
Jorge, who just left to start his tourism venture, Jorge's Tourges, the Bachelorhood is kind enough to promote his new venture on their own show.  Jorge makes people to fall in love in beautiful laces.  They need to ride horses to their destination.  Diggy and Lacey are blown away, or at least act blown away.  Jorge sets them up with a picnic.  Jorge spills a ton of champagne on the beach which is not cool.  Jorge then shares that they're on the beach where he was conceived.  Eww.

Jorge's just hanging out with them on their date until they kick him out.  Lacey is psyched about how well things are going with Diggy, which is a premonition that things will fall apart for her shortly.

Back at the house, Danielle goes on and on about Wells and how it's time for her to leave.  Wells tells Jack Stone how great Danielle is.  Geez, guys, just tell each other how you feel.

Diggy and Lacey come back from their date and they're holding hands.  Lacey's excited about getting Diggy's rose, which is a sign she won't be getting his rose.

Dominique comes down and while she was on Nick's season, I don't remember her at all, but the other women are very happy to see her.  I think it's the hair that's throwing me off because when I Googled her she looked more familiar.  Dominique is into Diggy and Lacey feels threatened.  Apparently Taylor and Dominique are great friends, which perhaps I would know if I followed these people on the Instagram or the Twitter?  Lacey's freaking out.

No surprise, Dominique asks Diggy.  Lacey continues to freak out, and there's dramatic music in the background so you know it's serious.

Diggy feels like the man (as he should) for going out on his second date in a day;.  Diggy tells Dom that he's not attracted to Lacey (which is convenient).  Lacey's mad that Diggy didn't check in with her before he took off with Dom.  They waste little time hitting the hot tub.

Danielle is packed up and ready to go.  She has arm bands for her dress, which is odd.  It's not an off the shoulder dress--the arm bands are totally separate from the dress. I'd lose those arm bands so fast if they weren't attached to the dress.  But then in other shots it looks like it's attached to the dress.  Wells and Danielle have a quick makeup sesh before she leaves.

Ugh, DeMario
We have to talk about this AGAIN?  We know, Chris, this is the BIP that almost didn't happen.  Apparently they're going to share what "really" happened that night.  The discussion starts with Robby (in a bizarre jacket), Diggy, Derek(?), Raven and Jasmyn (admittedly I never know how to spell her name).  The cast didn't see anything so this is a boring conversation.  And if anything did happen, it seems like it was consensual.

OMG, now they're showing the best of Jade and Tanner and Carly and Evan.  I think we already saw this during Carly and Evan's wedding.  And no shocker, Carly's pregnant.  And of course they're going to do an ultrasound.  Again, they are desperate for filler.

DeMario claims that even he thought he could fall in love in Paradise, which I don't believe for a minute, but whatever.  If Corinne got some kind of payout from this I certainly hope that DeMario did too.  It's unclear what him and Corinne did in the pool but Corinne didn't seem phased.  This is the longest conversation about nothing I've seen on this show and that's saying a lot.  So DeMario didn't wonder why he was getting kicked off?  I find that strange.  Then they force DeMario to watch the media reports about him.  What's ludicrous about the audience is they're acting supportive when I'm sure they were just as skeptical as I was when this story came out.

Whatever happened, DeMario is still a db but I don't think he raped Corrine.  Thankfully the episode is over.  Unfortunately, we hear Corinne's side of the story next week.
