Welcome back to Paradise After Dark, the unofficial Bachelor in Paradise After Show coming to you live after the show.

Hi, Jackie. Hi, Stephanie.

How are you?

I'm so good because I finally feel like episode six, we're taking a turn.

We are finally diving into the change that I think should have happened sooner.

After seeing this episode, I really liked it.

I don't know why we needed six episodes to get to this.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Because I, one, also agree. I'm like, oh, yes, we finally arrived.

I love this gamification of this show. I love the new strategies. I just think it really makes it

super interesting to talk about and dissect, so we'll get there. I kind of agree to, yeah,

why did we need six episodes of that? However, I don't know what the other option would have been

because we needed that time for all the couples to kind of like find each other and solidify.

So I don't know what the alternative would be unless all of these, unless they did it differently

where like all of these couples were pre-established. And then they came on to like play the game of the whatever this game,

this bachelor pad ripoff game. But like that's another thing. Jesse, those voiceovers of Jesse were

definitely added on after the fact. He's not on camera when you hear him say, it's just like bachelor

pad, but with a twist. Like you're not, you didn't say that to them in the moment. I feel like after the fact, they're like, oh, wait, let's compare it to BachelorPad. Well, I never watched Bachelor Pad. Like, is it exactly like Bachelor Pad or what was the rules of that? Well, okay, first of all, I would like to take full credit for this because I posted a TikTok like a year and a half ago saying I don't think they

should bring back Bachelor in Paradise. I think they should bring back Bachelor Pad. Maybe I'll put it in. I'll put it in here so you guys can see. I think they need to cancel Bachelor in Paradise for good. Okay, hear me out. I think they need to bring back Bachelor Pad. The reason why Bachelor Pad was canceled back in the day is because ABC didn't want the Bachelor franchise to be associated with money and greed and manipulation. They wanted to be associated with love, okay? Fair. So they came out with Bachelor in Paradise. But Bachelor in Paradise isn't working anymore. And one of the main reasons is because people know how to play the game.

They know what they need to do to stay on the show longer, and it's not interesting for

the viewers to watch.

But the beauty of BachelorPad is that you're supposed to be strategic to stay on the show

longer.
