Genevieve essentially wanted to tell Aaron that she was falling in love with him, but she complained about not getting a moment alone with him considering he was treating Paradise "like a bro vacation."
Aaron, however, felt attacked and offended since he believed he was making Genevieve his priority, and so there were tears, admissions of insecurity, accusations of gaslighting, and a moment when Genevieve packed her suitcases and nearly quit the show.
Ever since the broadcast began airing, Genevieve and Aaron have been tweeting their viewpoints -- and they simply don't align.
Aaron, 28, called out the show's editing on Tuesday night and tweeted, "Guys. Reality tv is not actual reality. But it is actually on tv... Like 40 hrs of filming a week condensed into 4 hours, you see such a small part!"
At one point, Genevieve, who felt dissed and dismissed, approached Aaron to talk things out on the show, but Aaron vented about how he wasn't ready to talk and wanted to do so on his own terms. Aaron suggested that he constantly catered to Genevieve and she always got her way.
Aaron also yelled about how there was nothing wrong with him wanting to spend 10 minutes with his friends, although the show edited footage to make it look like Aaron had spent an entire day with the guys.
On Twitter, Aaron downplayed his remarks and claimed the argument that aired was "truly not the convo at all."
"I was so stressed out, but I promise I was trying my best," Aaron tweeted.
Genevieve, meanwhile, defended her actions and said the editing was completely accurate.
"Nothing relevant to the argument was cut out," Genevieve , 27, claimed. "What you saw is what happened."

Genevieve started her rant by insisting she "was NEVER mad" at Aaron.
Genevieve tweeted on Tuesday night, "I was upset because I wanted to talk to him alone about something. Is that too much to ask in a very calm way?"
She proceeded to write, "Of course I understand the guys want time with the guys. Did we forget we were just away from our guys for a week and I wanted some time."
Genevieve was referring to "The Split" twist in which the women were forced to spend a week at a nearby hotel while the men they were interested in got to know five new women on the Paradise beach. (Once the women got to the hotel, they also met five new men).
"There's a potential engagement in two weeks. I don't think there's time to talk about evolution," Genevieve tweeted, slamming Aaron's frivolous conversations with the guys.
During their fight on the show, Aaron told Genevieve that he wished she had asked him to talk in private before she got angry and let her emotions build up.
"Sorry I waited actually 10 minutes," Genevieve snarkily noted.

The Bachelor alum Marlena Wesh tweeted, "Ok what y'all not gonna do is keep throwing around the word 'gaslight' incorrectly af every season #bachelorinparadise."

Genevieve retweeted Marlena's post, and she also wrote about how Justin Glaze's return to Paradise had only upset her the previous day because of the tension it ultimately caused between Aaron and herself.
"Not for any other reason," Genevieve noted. "That's the last thing I'll say about this."
When Genevieve threatened to leave Paradise, Aaron chased after her.
The couple bickered back and forth, and Aaron said Genevieve had done things that bothered him but he was understanding and let them go. He said he just wanted to have fun and apparently felt betrayed Genevieve was prepared to leave him the first time she got annoyed with him.
"This is horrible. It didn't need to be this... I truly wish you the best, but I'm not going to threaten my happiness, and I am not happy right now," Aaron said.
"I am not happy either," Genevieve responded.
Aaron apologized for that, and then Genevieve explained how she had just wanted to tell him that she was falling in love with him. Genevieve said when she brought her emotions to him, his reaction -- about doing things on his time -- wasn't a nice way to talk to her.
"That's a big thing and it's scary. There's a lot of really deep feelings that I have that are hard to express. You've become so close to me, and the things you do can deeply hurt me, because of how much you mean to me. And I'm falling in love with you too," Aaron told her.
Aaron therefore asked Genevieve to stay, and then the couple kissed and made up -- and everyone else on the beach cheered for them.
"Ok I'm going to bed. This episode has me as exhausted emotionally/physically as when it happened lmao. F-ck," Aaron joked on Twitter.
