‘Bachelor in Paradise’ spoilers: She reportedly self-eliminates due to production pressures
According to Bachelor in Paradise spoilers posted to Reddit, Salley Carson doesn’t last long on the beach. As quickly as she arrives, she reportedly self-eliminates after feeling pressured to discuss her past engagement.
“Salley has left the show and is on her way back. Very dramatic,” a text regarding Salley’s departure reads, according to a Reddit thread. “Wasn’t happy with how the producers set her up. … Producers had other girls grill her about her ex-fiancé. She didn’t like how it was making her look, so she left.”
Many fans don’t have much sympathy for Salley, though.
“I mean … she broke up with her ex-fiancé a week before Clayton’s season,” a fan on Reddit commented. “Why should she get a free pass for that, it’s an obvious storyline. She should have just waited until next year to go on the show.”
“I’m sorry, but if she went to the beach thinking she was going to get anything but a horrendous edit centered completely on her ex-fiancé … then she is not very bright,” another fan noted.
