Ashley I me a river.
Just as the waters were calming from
Hurricane Chad’s visit to Bachelor in Paradise, in rolls another storm: Ashley
I.! Ashley Iaconetti returned to BIP on Tuesday night, bringing her drama in literal waves flowing
straight from her eyeballs. She vowed to Chris Harrison to cry only three times
during her run this season, but by episode’s end Ashley had already broken her
promise (our ‘cry count’ clocked at least five sob sessions).
So, what was with the waterworks? Ashley arrived still very
much in love with Jared Haibon (she said the two had hooked up on and off in
recent months), only to discover that Jared had been cuddling up with Caila
Quinn. Normally we’d tell Ashley to calm down and get her gorgeous self
together, but she didn’t just have plain old rejection to tear up over: Ashley
cried betrayal!
“I didn’t think Caila was going to hurt me like this,”
Ashley told Jared through tears. “She told me she would never, ever go out with
you. Caila ruined everything and she’s a backstabbing whore of a friend!” Yikes.
To her credit, Ashley calmly confronted Caila, claiming Caila had told Ashley she would not be going on Paradise.
“I didn’t know that I was coming,” Caila said. “I decided like two days
before.” (So…you knew you were coming, Caila.)
We’ll see how the Ashley/Jared/Caila love triangle turns out
next week – and, it might become a square! Next week’s teaser showed Caila possibly
falling for a newbie joining BIP. Bachelor in Paradise airs
Mondays and Tuesdays on ABC. If you missed this Monday’s biggest moments, watch
