Bachelor in Paradise Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: The Twins Are Back!

A blast from the past rocked Bachelor in Paradise Season 4 Episode 8, and it helped send the show in an interesting direction. 


When the episode got underway, Jaimi entered Paradise and was quick to point out that her bisexuality would help her find the love of her life. 




Jaimi’s biggest concern seemed to be why nobody was getting hot and heavy with Tickle Monster. Did she feel sorry for him? Did the producers try to get her to go with him? 


We don’t know, but Jaimi decided to take Diggy on a date, but Dominique was pissed. 


“If someone’s checking me out,” Jaimi reasoned, “He’s obviously not that into you.”


Jaimi opened up about identifying as “fluid” as opposed bisexual. 


Diggy did seem enthralled by her, so we’re going to go out on a limb here and say there’s going to be fireworks if they get together. 


Paradise is gradually becoming all about love triangles, so what better way to cause some drama?


Throw in Haley and Emily because they are the life of the party and will make everything fun again.


“We’re just here to f—k s—t up,” they claimed. 



They were interested in Derek and Dean and entered Paradise armed with a double date card. 


Yes, there’s going to be drama. Amanda quickly lets the ladies know that both men are taken. Amanda tries to send them towards Jack Stone and Tickle Monster. 


Everyone else tried to figure out how to tell the twins apart, and the girls listed all of the features that are different. 


“Our vaginas our different,” says one of them, before we got the reveal that Haley’s was the better one. 


“Hers is still wonderful,” says Haley with a smile. 


Is this for real? 


Emily then pursued Dean for a date, but he was against the idea. So, Emily followed Danielle and got her to say that it was not her decision, but it did not help matters. 



“I’m not going on a date with anyone else but you,” Emily yelled.


“I just can’t say yes,” he replied.


At least Emily was intent on causing drama because the show has been as stale as a scallop of late. Yes, they were still talking about scallops throughout the episode. 


Emily turned to Tickle Monster and decided he was her next best option, but Haley revealed that Danielle was as annoying as a wall. 


“We decided we’re going to go on this date with each other and bring these two douchebags with us,” the twins said.


When the twins got ready for the date, Jack backed out because he was getting along with Christen and felt like the twins were only using him because their first options were gone. 



The twins reacted in the most horrible way, by yelling, “F— everybody here,” before throwing scallops on the ground and making an early exit from Paradise. 


Yes, it totally seemed like the producers brought them on for a short stint to lighten up the mood, and it worked. 


Chris Harrison appeared out of nowhere and dropped the bomb that it was their last day in Paradise. 


Good, because this season has been all over the place and it’s time to end it. 


Who will leave engaged? Who will be thrown off the island for being obsessed with scallops? Find out next week.

Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 20 Recap: Stamina, Stamina, Stamina

Laurieann Gibson wanted the girls to try and push themselves so that they can get better results in the competitions, but with the mothers still undermining her every move, did she give up?


That thought definitely crossed her mind, but she had other things on her mind. Nationals were just six weeks away, so it was time to right the ship and ensure some wins for the ALDC. 



When Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 20 got underway, the moms worried that they were going to look like idiots for bringing Laurieann in. The reason?


Because Abby was better. 


Despite all of the arguing, Abby somehow always managed to get the girls to perform. 


Laurieann did not want to take the blame for the losing streak, so it was obvious she was going to blame everything but her choreography. We get it; it’s difficult to admit defeat. 


Ashlee decided to quiz Laurieann to find out how she was going to help the girls pull out a win, but Laurieann felt like she had done all she could to help them, and it was down to the girls to take the feedback on board. 



Kalani and Nia were told that they would be performing a duet titled “I Got No Fear,” while Kendall and Bryn joined forces for “The Finish Line.”


The dance teacher then dropped the bomb that the minis would not be participating this round, and not everyone was amused by the news. 


Yolanda fumed because she felt like Laurieann was good for the ALDC, but leaving kids out of competitions was not washing well with her. 


The mothers had mixed emotions about Laurieann, for sure. But were they prepared to let her stick around long-term? That appeared to be the bigger question. 


Ashlee’s main issue seemed to be that Kalani and Nia have always been given better routines and privileges. If you watch Dance Moms online, we think it’s fair to say that most would come to that conclusion.



When the rehearsals kicked off, Laurieann started to get the sense that Nia may not be the best person to be part of the duet.


So, she brought Camryn in to see if there was any way she would flow better with Kalani for the duet.  In the end, Nia was nixed from the performance. 


Laurieann was even worried about the group number because it seemed to her that the girls were just done. They did not understand that they needed a win to prove they are still a force to be reckoned with. 


When the moms trashed Kendall and Brynn’s duet, Laurieann realized there was no way she was ever going win the moms over, and the $ hit hit the fan. 



She revealed some of the people she had worked for in the past in an attempt to wow the mothers, but they were not happy about it. Instead, they laughed at her. 


Will they break Abby out of jail?


In Las Vegas, the drama went into overdrive when Camille forgot to pack Camryn’s dress. This resulted in Laurieann yelling for a good few minutes about how silly all of the people are. 


When Laurieann decided it was time for consequences, she pulled Camryn out of the competition, but then everyone went ham, so she let her stay put. 



Laurieann then dragged the moms for thinking they were something big because of all of the people on social media who follow their every move.


Her biggest issue with the performances is that the girls are taught to act like celebrities and notes that it will all come crashing down.


The group dance came in third place, Brynn & Kendall’s duet came in second place, but Kalani and Camryn snagged a first place finish.


But Laurieann was not happy. She chased some dude named Alex to get the scores because she felt like her girls were robbed out of a win.


It’s almost like Abby never left, you guys. 


What do you think of all the drama?

Life of Kylie: Headed For Cancelation ALREADY?!

It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when Keeping Up With the Kardashians was one of the most buzzed-about reality shows on TV.


These days, the ladies of the Kard clan are as famous as ever, but the series that helped to make them household names is a mostly-forgotten basic cable dinosaur buried in the glut of “peak TV” programming.




But network execs are notoriously slow to pick on changing viewership trends, and as such, the Kardashians are still treated like walking ratings magnets.


So the spinoff series keep coming … but they seldom last very long.


The latest victim is Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s imaginatively titled Rob & Chyna, which was canceled after just one season.


Prior to that, Caitlyn Jenner’s “docu-series,” I Am Cait, was canceled after two seasons of lackluster ratings.


The list of short-lived Kardashian spinoffs is getting too long to keep track of (Kocktails With Khloe, we hardly knew ye.), but both the family and the E! network seemed convinced that Kylie Jenner would be able to turn the tide.


Life of Kylie was supposed to be the spinoff that made the Kardashians relevant to TV audiences again.



By some measures, Kylie is the most popular Kardashian (the Jenner last name is really just a technicality), and a series about the marketing of her wildly popular cosmetics brand seemed the ideal way to remind young people of the family’s enduring popularity.


Instead, the show has had the opposite effect, reminding Kylie and her sisters of just how fickle public opinion can be.


Slow from the start and getting worse by the week, Life of Kylie‘s ratings have failed to rise even to the level of Rob & Chyna at its most popular.


At this point, it seems a foregone conclusion that the show will be a one-and-done – and Kylie is reportedly devastated.


“Kylie is beginning to see that fans don’t care about her as much as she thinks, and is devastated by the show’s reception,” a source close to the family tells Radar Online.



The insider adds that momager Kris Jenner is pulling out all the stops in order to save the show from an early death.


“Kris ordered Kim, Kourtney and Khloe to help by promoting ‘Life of Kylie’ on their social media,” the source says.


“She is even going so far as to try to add newly filmed footage to the show’s existing edit.”


Unfortunately, it seems Kris’ efforts will amount to too little, too late.


Life of Kylie drew in less than 700,000 for the second week in a row last week.


Worse, the show is struggling in the all-important 18-49 demographic.



It seems Kylie is learning the same lesson as a so many upstart social media figures have in recent years:


Popularity on the internet rarely translates to other media.


But hey, at least she’ll have her massive online following and near-billion dollar cosmetics empire to fall back on.
