Samantha is lying. Joe is pissed. Repeat. That was the theme of tonight’s show. If you didn’t see the episode, you didn’t miss much. Really. Except that BEN HIGGINS (Ben H!) is our next Bachelor. Even The Husband was drooling when Ben came out in his dark suit looking like Superman. The whole Nick V trick didn’t throw me for a second. “Bring out Ben!” is all we could chant in our household! Is it January yet?? Do we think he’s going to have phone sex with Amy Schumer tonight? I love her.
So I finally found something that could be worse than spending time with Joe or Samantha. It’s not even a root canal. It’s the RE-TREATMENT of a root canal gone awry. That’s what I had done this afternoon. My original root canal tfrom earlier this year developed an infection. After several attempts to treat the infection, I had to see a specialist to fix the problem and that all went down today. I’ve got to hurry up and finish this post so I can take my antibiotics, advil and fall asleep before I end up doing something terrible. Picture sitting in a dental chair, when they strap on a stretchy rubbery contraption to keep your jaw locked into an open position and you’re just stuck there while they stick instruments into your mouth, poking and prodding, even drilling – while you’re just there with your thoughts – like will Ashley I ever seem like a normal human being? Will we ever understand what the heck Samantha’s story is? Do Juelia and Mikey stand a chance in the real world?
So I’m still recovering from that and was looking forward to seeing Samantha’s villainous text messages, but we never actually saw anything, just some whining and an attempt at blackmailing Samantha back into his arms. It didn’t quite work and we didn’t see anything too scandalous. I’m not even really sure what her whole “never before seen footage” with Jade was all about. It was just Samantha denying her relationship with Joe? I mean, it sounds like they just texted a lot. I don’t think she’s denying that happened, right?
Does anyone care at this point? I kind of love how NEW GUY came in tonight, heard from his good friend Joe that he’s into Samantha and then NEW GUY couldn’t care less, and goes straight away to ask her out. That should be interesting next week.
Nothing from Tanner and Jade tonight. They’re still glowing from their overnight.
Nothing from Tenley and Josh.
Nothing from Dan and Amber.
It’s hard to take Ashley I seriously. She cried almost the entire episode and I’m not sure why she thinks her relationship with Jared will take a very long time to get over.
Kirk and Carley went fishing. Very cute. Beautiful sunset. Do they do anything other than giggle when they’re together?
Is Ashley S still there? She’s pretty non-existant at this point.
Ok, mouth is starting to pound and I’ve got to find a pic of Ben H to post so we can stare at him. Who’s excited??

Hey, Office Stace!
So sorry to hear about your dental procedure. I hope you feel better soon.
I was totally fooled for a minute when they brought out Nick Viall! I was also watching on DVR though so I missed his intro. But for a second I was like, “No freaking way!” Honestly, I would have loved to see Nick as The Bachelor too but I think overall, Ben H. is the best choice.
You can check out my recap of Week 4 – Episode 2 if you have time: http://cafeemily.com/bachelor-in-paradise-week-4-2/
Take care! Catch you next week!

Oh and I hope you all are over the moon about Ben H. being the next Bachelor. But remember…things are not always as they appear. You have been warned.

Stacey,
Ha ha, Ben H. is the Bachelor ! Just hope he is who he appears to be, although I’m sure he will be.
I’m sick of Sam and Joe, and Joe didn’t defend himself well at all on AP. Sam is delusional. She believes her own lies. Was she trying to convince Jade or herself that she’s not guilty, especially treating Juelia like crap ? Look, she told Joe to do whatever it takes…which she was FINE with even when Juelia was trying to talk to her. Then when Chris Harrison mentions «deceit» she jumps ship. She flipped just as quickly on Joe as Joe did on Juelia. I’ll listen to her next week but it seems she is only concerned with her own self-image. Why would she continuously lie and not apologize ? She happily joins the group and bad-mouths Joe ? How does a woman get to Paradise and give a guy a hand job after only knowing him 2 days ? That’s super GROSS. Nick dodged a bullet ! Dan wants to date her ? He is delusional, too. Tanner seems to be the only sane guy in the place.
Not sure they’ll be any lasting couples this season but Carly and Kirk are super cute.

I’m a little late to this party, but just watched the recording last night. It’s clear to me that Samantha is out to further herself in the entertainment industry. Period. She’s a master at flipping things around, and she had Joe babbling like the idiot that he is. It’s my opinion that this is the reason she DIDN’T get much air time on Chris’ season — the producers knew why she was there, and it sure wasn’t for Chris!
Ashley I either needs to adjust her dosage, or seek the therapy that she clearly needs. She is a 27 year old with a 16 year old mentality when it comes to “boys”.
Enough said. Hope your root canal carnage is all better. Really enjoying seeing your baby’s pix on instagram! She’s a doll!!
