Monday on Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 Episode 6, also known as Bachelor in Paradise 304A, because that’s not confusing or anything …
If you watch Bachelor in Paradise online, you’re basically tuning in for the train wreck. First and foremost, that’s what you want to see.
Should there be an unlikely fairy tale romance that captivates you, hey, that’s great, but it’s a nice bonus compared to the main attraction.
Case in point: Ashley Iaconetti. She is the best.
On Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 Episode 6, Brett asked out Caila Quinn, who’d been cavorting with Ashley’s obsession, Jared Haibon.
Caila accepted, then declined, then accepted, then changed her mind again, leaving us in a state of general confusion for the most part.
Earlier, Ashley I., who did not receive a rose, and was en route home when she decided she couldn’t leave Paradise and stopped the car.
She returned to the villa, begging for another chance at love, and amazingly (perhaps with some urging from the producers), she got it.
At least one person wasn’t thrilled, though.
“Imagine trying to date someone with their ex following you around,” Caila said, referring to Ashley and Jared’s star-crossed romance.
“I know she says she’s not in love with him, but that was like three hours ago so what will happen in 12 more hours? I don’t really know.”
Nor do we, Caila Quinn. Nor do we.
After a booze cruise with Lamp Man, she realized that perhaps Jared was in fact the one for her. She confessed to the ABC cameras:
“Walking away from this date I feel very compelled to just run home and tell Jared that I’m so sorry, and I should’ve spent this day getting to know him.”
“I know I made a huge mistake.”
Caila then told Jared that she liked spending time with him, and only went on the cruise date with Brett because she felt like she should.
Ashley I. saw them kiss.
It was devastating.
“I’m watching my biggest nightmare, Jared falling for somebody else,” she shared, spiraling into an emotional tailspin on national TV.
“How can we be so close and so compatible and not be with each other? It’s like you found your soulmate, but your soulmate isn’t into you.”
