Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Survivor version of Bachelor in Paradise, where all notions of people falling in love for the right reasons have shifted to strategizing how to stab your best friend in the back for a chance to win half a million dollars.

Uncle Neil and his flashy diamond engagement rings are so yesterday. Some guy in Austin and I break down everything you need to know

discussing how and why people got voted off the island. Not one but two couples were forced

to leave paradise and the results may shock you as to who is left to outwit, outsmart, and outplay

the others. Yes, Jonathan is still there. No one's sure how or why, but he's there.

Hey everyone, I'm Lindsay and welcome to the I Hate Green Beans podcast. During each episode, I'll be

discussing television, movies, music, and books with friends who love pop culture as much as I do.

For those of you wondering, yes, we will be talking about the Bachelor franchise.

And no, I do not want to try your grandmother's famous green bean cassero recipe.

But thanks for offering.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

It's episode 388 of the I Hate Green Beans podcast.

I'm your host Lindsay.

I'm here with some guy in Austin.

And we're going to talk about Bachelor in Paradise and how it's pretty much Survivor now.

Is there any love on the island?

I don't think so.

No, I don't like the format.

I think I've told you this.

It's a little too hokey for me. I would rather just see dysfunction on the beach. But, you know, I guess they figure if they keep these guys busy, they can't drink as much. Maybe so. I, it was, I think we got, we still have one love story that I'm going to say is real with Jess and Spencer and they got to go

on a little date and do tantric yoga which I roll my eyes at but they at least had a conversation of

hey I think I'm falling in love with you and oh I think I'm falling and I believe them so that's great
