Bachelor in Paradise: Shanae-do touches down as everyone becomes unhinged

Sayulita, Mexico - "Shanae-do" touched down on Bachelor in Paradise, as the women returned to a very different beach than the one they knew before split week.

New connections made during the ladies' week away came to light when the OGs returned to the beaches of Paradise after a week at The Estates, and let's just say things did not go over well on the search for "clarity."

for starters, Shanae Ankney did not take well to Logan Seagull saying he was choosing Kate Gallivan over her, leading to the touch-down of what Aaron Clancy dubbed a "Shanae-do" that no one wanted to get in the way of. All we're saying is James Bonsall would've never two-timed her, and he was more than deserving of her rose over Logan, who we still don't get the appeal of.

The king and queen of Paradise AKA Serene Russell and Brandon Jones proved they were made for each other once they reunited and both dropped the L-bomb before plotting out where they wanted to "avoid the drama" when the new guys arrived at the Beach. Honestly, we'll come out and say it: these two must get engaged, or Bachelor Nation deserves a refund.

Things continued to get messy when Victoria Fuller broke the news about Alex Bordyukov's existence to the flame she left behind AKA Johnny DePhillipo, who did not take well to her telling him he didn't check off her boxes because of his age.

The search for BIP clarity continues

However, anything related to Victoria F's BIP journey feels like a lie thanks to the tea that reality TV blogger Reality Steve spilled shortly before the episode aired. about Victoria being spotted in Rome with Greg Grippo, who infamously stormed off Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette after making it to the final three.

One thing seems certain: once you date one person in Bachelor Nation, you apparently don't date anyone outside its extensive dating pool of former Bachelor franchise contestants.

But for the time being, Victoria is in Paradise, and it looks like she's going to have a tough decision to make at the rose ceremony where, as Aaron said, "anything can really happen and that's facts" when Bachelor in Paradise returns on October 31 at 8 PM ET on ABC.
