Ok, now where were we? Oh that's right Hercules gave Rachael his rose, American Jared gave Leah his rose and everyone is over thinking everything.
Keira and Jarrod are discussing whether they're boyfriend / girlfriend yet. Do they wait until they get out of Paradise? Or do they just call it now? And they call it! They're officially boyfriend / girlfriend now. Cuuuuute!! Since it's official, they need some mango daiquiri's to celebrate. Wise? ... Wise?! Where is Wise? #GettinThirsty

Do you want to be my girlfriend? Uh, let me think... That's a hard one. Hmm YASSS!!! #SoCute
American Jared is overthinking what happened at the Rose Ceremony. He's concerned that Leah's going to take the rose he gave her the wrong way. And he is not wrong. Leah thinks that Jared wants to see where their connection could go. Jared reiterates, even after the previous conversation, that he gave her a rose because she's a friend and nothing romantic. Leah can't believe it... #FriendshipRose #PityRose #LeahIsDone
 No, no, no, no romance. #FriendshipRose |  He. Gave. Me. A. #PityRose #FML #Done |
Keira chats with Leah about the Rose Ceremony and says very diplomatically to stop saying she wants to leave. Kiki points out the positives about being single in Paradise. Leah warms to the idea of having a clean slate in Paradise and reminding herself that hot men should arrive soon! Kiki then quickly quips that if she hears one more word about her wanting to leave Paradise then she'll pack her bags for her and escort her to the door.
 #NoMoreComplaining #Pls |  #CleanSlate |
American Jared and Rachael are now chatting. He's still confused af and ends up repeating everything over and over... #CircularConvo Rach is now falling asleep to the sound of his brain maths. It's like the more he talks, the more she just doesn't find him attractive. #JustBeQuiet #ShooshO
 So... Back to my story. |  What story? You're just overthinking. |
Hercules and Leah start to chat about how they're both feeling in Paradise when Eden runs in with a date card for... Hercules! He immediately gets up and walks away from Leah and heads right for Rach. American Jared is already freaking out. He asks Rach if she would go on a date with him and (after the big think stink) she says she would. Hercules is already asking Rachael and she says yes. He's jumping for joy right now. No more bro dates for him! #Yasss #SheSaidYes #DateCard #NoMoreBroDates
American Jared is majorly bummed about this and says he's going to go and cry in his room now.

 Date? ... Uh yes please save me from the Jared chat! |  #SheSaidYes #GotMeAWifey |
Sea of thoughts...
Hercules and Rachael head to the Naviti for a round of Love Golf. This is new. They've got to hit their balls through the L O V and E on the course and into the rainbow love heart to win.
Hercules mentions that he likes Rachael’s yoga wear. Keira would face palm you… It’s active wear. Where have you been for the past 2 years? Moving on. Rachael wins Love Golf, they proceed to the BiP version of the 19th Hole and have a really good chat about the Rose Ceremony. Hercules confesses that he was giving Rachael a rose regardless of what American Jared was going to do. He made a play for Rach because he’s attracted to her, and it pays off. Before we know it they’re kissing!! Yes Rach, it’s just like The Notebook… Kind of. #HesVibingHer #Vibes #RiskTakers #ManBunLadyBun #Notebook

Back in Paradise Elora and Eden seem to have created a good friendship. Honestly I think they’re both mirroring each other’s look. Elora is very clear that he’s a friend, and even more so like a really good girlfriend. Eden, on the other hand, feels like he’s a boyfriend. Eden is hoping for more (aka a hook up?).
 #Twinning |  |  |
He tells Jake how awesome Paradise is going with Elora and I can’t help but laugh at Jake’s lack of reply. Everyone knows that Elora is biding her time with Apollo.
 Best day ever with my #Girlfriend |  #CoolStoryBro #URFriendZoned |
Osher casually strolls into Paradise which causes everyone in Paradise to pop up like meerkats as soon as they see him. He’s here to remind everyone that their time on the Island is coming to an end soon, so they had better make the best of their “second chance at love” because someone is coming back to the island right now. The meerkats look around frantically to see if there’s a honey badger coming for them… Calm down, it’s just Flo. And apparently she’s not here for Jake or to talk about Jake either. So if she’s not here for a big Jake showdown, then why does she want answers from him in the form of a big Jake showdown? #LoveResurrection #ShowDown #CycloneFlo
As soon as Flo comes in, Megan hides out behind the palm fronds with Wise. Oh there he is! Who is he hiding from? Maybe he’s tired of making mango daiquiri’s for Keira.
Mwahahaha!
 #CycloneFlo approaches |  Oh F#@& |
Flo and the girls (sans Megan) chat about her coming back and what she’s here for. Tara puts the kybosh on her being here for any drama between her and Jake. Tara doesn’t see the initial flickering of red in Flo’s eyes, because she’s so in the love zone with Sam, until Flo bites. Keira’s alarm bells are ringing like a Doomsday alarm. “Florence from Holland” is here.
 Are you after Jake again? |  No I'm here for me. But I'm going to take Jake down. |
 Knew it!! |  #HeHasToPay |
Flo is saying she’s over Jake, but she’s not fooling anyone. The “Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake” montage is everything. She even managed to make Apollo want to run, and he's the nicest guy in there.
 #PlsStop |  Apollo fell asleep while I was talking about Jake... |
Rach and Thomas are back and American Jared is all up in Rach’s grill to see how the date went. Rach is a little weirded out and says that the date went well. You can see Jared seethe internally. The guys head up to the bar for a drink and to ask if Rach and Hercules kissed? #BadPokerFace
 Did we kiss? |  We had a great time :-) |
Keira’s got a date card and it’s for Tara! She and Sam are so excited and so am I. Tara’s hoping for some cheese on the date. They are two very happy little clams and everyone’s so happy for them too. Thank you so much BiP for Tara and Sam! #100DatesADay #Blessed
 Date card!! #Tara |  |
Elora says to the group, “Eden and I are desperately single.” Eden uncomfortably quips back, “I wouldn’t say I’m desperate.” So the Producers step in to point out the obvs Eden mess. She’s clear that they’re friends and he’s clear that they’re a couple.
#NotDesperate
Elora can’t believe she has to articulate this again.
  We're just friends! That's all.  |   Yeah she's my girlfriend.  Srsly tho... |
She politely and firmly says to Eden again that there is no romance between them as it’s just a friendship. Seriously, did everyone see Eden’s crazy eyes pop again? “It’s Nina all over again.” Face. Palm. Poor Nina. How did she cope with this for a week or two? Now Eden’s done and wants to leave. And he just gets up and walks out, ghosting everyone on in Paradise.
 #CrazyEyes4You  What? But I love you. |  No. We're friends and that's it.  That's it I'm leaving! #Laters |
Elora now has to break the news that Eden has just walked out on Paradise because he can’t stand to see people not get how amazing Elora is… Keira, “Is this about you or Eden?” Yasss Keira! She has found the ‘All about Elora’ button and is bearing all her ‘gotcha’ weight down onto it. I love how real Keira is right now.
 Is Elora about to make this all about her?  Wait, is this about you or Eden? |  He left because I'm so amazing...  #OhSnap #ShadeThrown |
She’s so annoyed at Elora’s selfishness that she’s going for Flo now. Has Flo confronted Jake? No. Does she really have unfinished business with him? “Maybe DM him on Instagram.”
Why is everything so difficult for these people?
I love it how Flo is sitting with Keira and Hercules and isn’t talking about Jake. I mean, why would she be talking about Jake? Said no one ever. But as Flo continues talking (not hearing Keira say that Megan and Jake are coming over), Megan and Jake walk over and hear her mention how Jake lied to both her and Megan and he’s a jerk, etc. Flo sees them and they walk away. It’s too much drama for anyone really. So Flo snaps at Keira for not giving her a heads up that he was approaching… Keira, “I did.” Flo, “Oh I didn’t hear you.”
 Mum & Dad need some mango daiquiri's stat!  Doesn't hear Keira over her own negativity... |  Flo in a Jake hate trance.  Why didn't you tell me they were coming?! |
Keira: "I did." Flo: "Oh I didn't hear you." Uh, ya think? And off cruise Mr & Mrs Ellis.
Jake then goes to clear the air with Flo and I can’t even be bothered paying attention to this drama. I know I should as I’m making a habit of writing about it, but this is just a little bridge too far even for me. Essentially, Jake stands his ground and tries to voice the fact that he liked 2 girls at 1 time and had to pick 1 (who wasn’t all drama). Flo berates him about how she was treated, and I do get it but I just don’t care anymore. This storyline is dead to me. Soz
 #Talk  |  Bungalow chat.  |
Back over at Sam and Tara’s gorgeous date, where we'd all rather be, they’re joining a group of Indian dancers to dance up a storm Bollywood style. Sam admits that they’re both self-taught dancers, so this is going to be all kinds of hilarious...
 See, self taught. |  #NewMoves |
And it is! OMG they are so funny and so cute. This is the best date. I love how open they are with their feelings. It is so beautiful. Sam is totally in love with Tara and she is completely in love with him. OMG they’re both glowing… “Loving Tara is like breathing” (Sam). OMG I love this! Nobody would ever have guessed this outcome when the BiP line-up was announced.
 |  |
I can sense an engagement on the way.
The next morning Osher turns up again. This time he reminds everyone that Flo was the last woman to arrive in Paradise, and she was also the last person to arrive in Paradise. Leah, Flo and Elora are gutted. #BadNewsBear
 |  |
Leah’s decided to pack her bags and leave. But is she? Is she really going to leave? Please leave darl. It’s time. She packs all her things and wears the outfit intended for the next Rose Ceremony, which isn’t as great as she’d made it out to be. Leah walks out with her suitcase and announces to everyone that she’s leaving again. Simone just couldn’t care anymore and continues drinking her cup of tea while tanning. Sam says what everyone is thinking, “Thank God!” while Elora pipes a “Bye Felicia” in as Leah finally walks through the doors of Paradise.
 No more dudes...?  Is that from Jacks? Or Tappoo?  I wonder what's for dinner? |  #Done #GoneGirl  Baaiii!  Bye Felicia! Lol! |
Next Up: Elora and Apollo finally get their fire dancing on! Elora makes her moves on Apollo, Simone is jealous af, Apollo is upset about what’s happening and Osher takes a rose off the table for what looks like a seriously dramatic Rose Ceremony.
