Bachelor In Paradise, Ep. 1.7

Chris informs the couples that they need to decide if the person they are coupled with is someone they can truly see themselves with in the future. Anyone who doesn't, should pack up and leave paradise. The decision: move on to the next step in the relationship, or walk away...

Graham & AshLee
Current Relationship Status: AshLee, as we all know, is TOTALLY into Graham and she absolutely wants to pursue a relationship and she thinks Graham feels exactly the same way. Meanwhile, Graham seems like he could go either way.

Michelle doesn't buy what AshLee is trying to sell. She thinks she doesn't even know who she is. She is so sure that AshLee is trouble, that she gets up from the girls' group conversation to go find Graham to warn him and tell him that she doesn't think AshLee is right for him. She doesn't think she's genuine, and she thinks she was only there to be on TV and was putting on a show. Graham shows some emotion, but basically didn't say anything. The other girls asked AshLee if she was worried that Michelle was going to talk about her to Graham, and she didn't think so. She said she was so grateful to have Michelle in her corner. Oops.

It's time for "the talk".

She asks how he's feeling, and he says "not great". He said he thinks the atmosphere makes things different. She said she isn't looking for him to say "I love you" or that he will marry her. He said he didn't think he could continue on and he was sorry. She said "I knew it. Way too good to be true." He said "we are leaving", but she said "no, you're leaving." He said it doesn't feel 100% correct, and he doesn't think they have what it takes to make it. She said she wished he would have been more honest, and he agreed that he should have done a better job communicating that with her.

He was pretty upset after having to do that to her, and she was obviously upset because she was head over heels and didn't want it to end this way.

End Result = Not a couple

Tasos & Christy

Current Relationship Status: They've only had one date.

They mutually decide that they haven't had enough time, and easily part ways.

End Result = Not a couple

Zack & Jackie
Current Relationship Status = Jackie has only had 1 date with Zack, so she doesn't know if she's ready to make this decision yet.

Zack was open to staying, but they ultimately decided to part ways because they haven't had enough time together. She said the timing just wasn't right for them.

End Result = Not a couple

Robert & Sarah
Current Relationship Status: Sarah wants to take her relationship with Robert home to the real world, but she's worried about where Robert's head is.

Sarah tells him that she isn't packing her bags, and he said "Good, because I'm not packing my bags."

End Result = Couple

Cody & Michelle
Current Relationship Status: Michelle doesn't know what to think. She doesn't really want to think that far into the future. She also has to consider her daughter.She is up and down and isn't sure what to do. Meanwhile, Cody is ready to move forward in their future. She isn't sure she can catch up to where he is.

While trying to make this decision, she calls her daughter for advice. I forget how old her daughter is, but she sounded so mature and gave her good advice. She decides to take the leap of faith and give her relationship with Cody a chance.

End Result = Couple

Marcus & Lacy
Current Relationship Status: Obviously they are both in love.

End Result = Couple

3 Couples Move On To The Next Step
Each of the couples will have one more date in paradise. They need to have the difficult conversations about the future. The dates are overnight dates. At the end of the date, if they aren't sure, Chris says they should break up and go home.

Robert & Sarah
The date went well...but they spent most of it making out.

The next day, Sarah was bummed after seeing the other couples being so lovey-dovey. She said he was tired and wanted to go to bed, so they did...and he had his jeans on under the covers. She said she felt rejected. She said he never touched her below her neck. She saw clearly that she and Robert were not where the other 2 couples were. Proof: Cody and Michelle are all over each other, Marcus and Lacy are all over each other, and Robert is making some weird air sucking noise with his nose in Sarah's face. She sarcastically said "cute"...but it was totally awkward.

She confronted him about how rejected she felt. He was confused and thought they had a great time. He said he's been telling everyone that he was falling in love with her, and he thought she knew that. She said she felt not loved. But, she said she really only felt like this when she saw the other couples.

She said she wasn't getting what she needed out of the relationship and didn't feel right with it continuing. He apologized for making her feel that way, and said "I guess I should go." He didn't see that coming...and neither did I. Why wouldn't she give him a chance? She clearly felt great, but it was only when she saw the other couples that she completely changed her mind. She should be focused on her relationship and not compare it to someone else. So now, she's devastated...again...and now she's wondering if she made the wrong decision...

Marcus & Lacy
Marcus says he can't imagine life without her. She said he completes her (like in Jerry Maguire). She finally told him that she loved him. The next day, they are grinning from ear to ear, and can't stop telling each other how much they love each other.

Cody & Michelle
Michelle tells him that he is so genuine and she doesn't have any fears about him. But she is afraid that it might not work out and she doesn't want to let herself or her daughter down. Cody said he's willing to do whatever it took to make it work and to make her happy and be there for her and her daughter. He said he wants her to be his wife. She said she needs to feel "real life" with him. After the date, Michelle had no questions...she told the group "I have a boyfriend!" Cody is on cloud 9.

Counseling
Bachelor/Bachelorette couples come to talk to the 2 remaining couples, Marcus and Lacy, and Cody and Michelle.

The couples are: Sean and Catherine, Jason and Molly, Des and Chris.

They meet with with them individually and also as couples. They even quiz them on each other.

Final Decision

Cody and Michelle -- they're in love and both give and accept the final rose

Marcus and Lacy -- if you watched this season at all, it was obvious that these 2 were leaving a couple...and if you've read the spoilers, you know that MARCUS PROPOSED TO LACY! And she said YES!

And in case you're wondering...Bachelor in Paradise got picked up for Season 2! And it's coming back in June! I'm already excited!
