There were tears and tantrums, break-ups and shake-ups and walk-outs on a big episode of Bachelor in Paradise.
Crafty Bachie producers plucked Bill from Paradise and onto a catamaran to greet fiery Dutch beauty, and Bachelor In Paradise veteran Florence Alexandra.
Florence was back in Paradise for another chance at love, and after meeting Bill at his favourite dog park in Melbourne, was eager to pick things back up with him.
After plenty of flirtation and kissing, their boat date ended with a saucy spa session. After a few glasses of sparkling, the pair both expressed interest in seeing where things could go between them.
With the chance to stay overnight, Florence asked Bill if there would be anyone back in Paradise waiting up for him. He brushed the comment aside and chose not to mention Alex.
It seems that age old saying ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder’ has legs, with Bill’s absence putting Alex emotions into perspective. Not wanting to string Brooke on any longer, Alex told Brooke her feelings had surpassed and she was fully focused on Bill.
Richie and Cass continued spending time together much to the annoyance of Rachael. After watching the pair frolic on a paddleboard together, an aggravated Rachael confronted Cass about her outward disregard for her feelings.
Frustrated by all the drama, Richie finally took an emotional Rachael aside to set the record straight on his feelings. Safe to say, she did not take it well.
Brittney was frustrated that Ivan had dropped her like a hot potato and felt that with the boys having the power at the next rose ceremony, if a new girl walked in, she would be gone.
Cue the arrival of Tenille Favios from Nick’s season of The Bachelor Australia. The brunette bombshell set tongues wagging and Ivan, Nathan and Jules looked on like Christmas had arrived.
Jules expressed that if a date card came along, he would take Tenille The news crushed Alisha who made it very clear that she was only interested in Jules. Realising that he had hurt Alisha’s feelings, Jules started to cry.
As Bill and Florence walked into Paradise hand-in-hand, Alex was left feeling confused.
When she took Bill aside for a chat, he initially spoke about their time together in past tense. When Alex pulled him up about it, he apologised and said it was an oversight, but Alex felt he had already written their relationship off.
Flo decided to take matters into her own hands and chat with Alex to get the facts. Both women were left unhappy after finding out that Bill had woken up next to Alex on the morning of his date and had asked Flo to stay with him later that night.
At tonight’s rose ceremony we said goodbye to Rachael and Brittney. Brittney chose to tell Ivan that he had disrespected her and walked away satisfied that she had the chance to say it to him.
Brooke took Alex Nation aside and explained that she had decided to leave Paradise. She then spoke with American Alex and said that she was finding it hard to be herself. While he was sad and disappointed, he understood and thought her wellbeing was more important than his own feelings.
The cracks started to appear in Alisha and Jules’s relationship. Paradise’s seemingly perfect couple had a debrief on the hammock together and Jules expressed that if a date card came along, he would take Tenille
