What to expect in tonight’s episode

Last week we saw the introduction of the big twist this season on Bachelor in Paradise. Reality Steve revealed it earlier this year, and it’s essentially the same thing Love Island does with Casa Amor. Host Jesse Palmer broke the bad news to the women during last week’s episode. The current women were taken to a nearby hotel, and several new women arrived on the beach. Supposedly, this is to “test” the current relationships of contestants on the show, but we know better. The twist causes drama, and more drama increases views for ABC.

We know from previews Lace surprises everyone when she shows back up to the beach in search of Rodney. However, as luck (and the work of producers) would have it, Rodney’s currently on a date with Eliza. This certainly doesn’t bode well, but we can’t wait to watch it all play out.

The official ABC synopsis reads, “The Split continues to shake up the shores of Paradise. As Lace’s surprise visit continues, Rodney confesses to having found a better match; and the men are left shocked to learn a new wave of guys has crashed the ladies’ estate. Meanwhile, Logan, torn between several women, declares himself a resident of “Geometry Beach,” and a lovestruck Johnny escapes all temptation. Back at the hotel, emotions are higher than ever as Jesse shares some unexpected news which causes some of the women to spiral as they contemplate their relationship status, but Victoria takes advantage of a well-timed date card to explore her options with a hunky new guy.”

Sounds like fans should get their popcorn ready. Tune in to Bachelor in Paradise tonight at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC!
