'Bachelor in Paradise' recap: Tia Booth and Colton Underwood reunite, and Bibiana Julian, Caroline Lunny, Jacqueline Trumbull, and Nysha Norris go home

Bachelor in Paradise's men had the power and handed out the roses during Monday night's episode on ABC, resulting in Bibiana Julian, Caroline Lunny, Jacqueline Trumbull, and Nysha Norris.


The Bachelor in Paradise episode began with Tia Booth confronting Chris Randone about his late-night kiss with Krystal Nielson. Tia reminded Chris how he had looked her in the eye for about an hour and insisted he was going to fight for her and only have eyes for her on this journey.

Chris said he just had "a moment" with Krystal and it didn't change how he felt about Tia. Chris also stood by the fact he had no desire to accept a date from someone else.

Tia was embarrassed to have fallen for Chris' act. She said his behavior was "so bizarre" that it was "laughable."


Chris explained that when he saw her spending time with Colton, he went off and did his own thing.

Tia couldn't believe Chris would make assumptions rather than just ask her if anything romantic was going on. After their exchange, Chris suggested they should just date other people.

Krystal was nearby to pick up the pieces, but Chris was more interested in grabbing himself a drink at the bar. She was therefore confused about what was happening. Regardless, Krystal didn't want to be involved in a "love square" with Chris, Tia and Colton.

Krystal, however, felt some real chemistry with Chris, but he kind of blew her off and so she questioned his intentions. It was the first time she felt a spark with someone and was excited about it, so she was disappointed and cried.

"I was kind of giddy about someone and it got tarnished... I feel stupid," Krystal said in a confessional. "It's like, why am I putting in effort?"

Bibiana then advised Krystal not to get wrapped up in Tia's "confusion."

"I know you're not a b-tch, Krystal," Bibiana assured the blonde beauty.

Tia was then shown venting to Caroline how she'd rather choose a guy who's indecisive instead of a guy who lies about being indecisive.

"I shook my feelings for Colton, but I'm remembering all the things that I like about him," Tia explained of the man who had warned her about Chris' betrayal to begin with.


Tia added that her heart felt "tingly" when Colton kissed her on the forehead and wished her goodnight the previous day.

Jacqueline from Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor then arrived in Paradise. She was looking for a serious relationship, her "dude."

Jacqueline talked to Kendall Long and Jenna Cooper about who was available, and Jenna pointed out how Colton is a great guy. Jacqueline therefore pulled Colton aside to chat, prompting Tia to burst into tears. Tia vented about how she was overwhelmed and didn't think she could go on with this process anymore.

"I wish I could grab his face and say, 'Choose me. Please choose me.' I came to Paradise to find something real," Tia told the cameras.


Jacqueline ended up asking Colton on her date; however, he rejected her offer because he said he had a tough three days and wasn't ready to focus on a new girl and a new date.

The cast was shocked Colton said no. He then admitted to bartender Wells Adams that he said "no" because he didn't want to see Tia hurt.

"There's still a lot of things Tia has I'm very attracted to. I still care for Tia a lot. Honestly, I really do. The thing I'm trying to figure out though is, 'Is she my person?'" Colton reasoned.

Colton simply didn't feel right about going on a date with someone when there was unfinished business with Tia. He just wasn't at the point yet where he could confidently choose the Arkansas native and invest in a relationship with her. As a result, Colton considered leaving Paradise.

Bibiana, however, assured Tia that Colton was in Paradise just for her and would leave if he felt he wasn't ready to pursue a romance with her.


Just as Annaliese Puccini was getting to know Kenny Layne and starting to click with him, Jacqueline asked Kenny out on her date.

Jacqueline and Kenny had a more interesting conversation than she had expected going into the night. While Jacqueline is clearly an intelligent and intellectual woman, she also found Kenny to be smart, thoughtful and handsome.

At the end of their dinner date, the couple engaged in a passionate kiss and watched a romantic fireworks display overhead.

But right when Kenny returned to the beach, Annaliese planned a little dessert date for them. 

Annaliese thought he was an amazing guy, and she clearly wanted his rose. Annaliese wanted Kenny to feel appreciated, and while they had a friendship blossoming, she didn't want to close the door on the chance they could have a romantic relationship.


Meanwhile, Eric Bigger was bonding with Angela Amezcua, and Jenna and Jordan Kimball were all over each other. J

ohn Graham was also caught in a love triangle between Jubilee Sharpe and Caroline. Both Jubilee and Caroline were trying hard to put themselves out there for John and fight for his attention.

"May the best girl win, b-tch," Caroline noted.

Krystal then picked things up with Chris where they had left off. She was simply drawn to him and had to acknowledge it.

Chris was surprised to learn Krystal was down to earth and chill, and he soon realized he only wanted to continue to date Krystal, and she was taken aback by the sudden declaration of his strong feelings for her.


The conversation made Krystal feel happy and hopeful, and she could tell her heart was opening for Chris and there was a possibility she could fall in love in Paradise.

Meanwhile, Bibiana admitted to Colton that she didn't understand why he was complicating things when there was a girl who was madly in love with him and he cared about her so much in return.

Bibiana's words seemed to register in Colton's mind, because at the cocktail party preceding the next Rose Ceremony, Colton pulled Tia aside and said he wanted to give it an honest go with her and give their romance a genuine shot. Colton said he was ready to open up again and was no longer afraid.

Tia's face lit up in glee, and the couple kissed and cuddled following their little heart-to-heart. Tia became the happiest person in Paradise.

Bibiana and Nysha, however, had yet to find a match, and so they were considered the "wild cards" going into the next Rose Ceremony. Bibiana confessed she was "freaking out" because she might be sent packing.

Jordan showed up to the cocktail party in a red vest and pants with yellow hibiscus flowers all over them, and Jenna actually liked his ensemble. Jordan told Jenna she was "the most stacked girl" in Paradise and he thought she was funny, smart, beautiful and more.

Jordan was nervous because he was on the path to falling in love with Jenna. He loved and appreciated all of her quirks -- including how she stuck her tongue out when thinking about something funny, or how she clapped her hands while laughing.

Meanwhile, Caroline confessed to cameras John was out of her league, but she really liked him and felt the stars were aligning for them.

Caroline really wanted to stay in Paradise and advance their relationship, but Jubilee was putting on the moves by offering John a sexy massage. John kissed both girls and seemed pretty torn between them.

Although Kenny had Annaliese and Jacqueline also fighting for him, Bibiana decided to join the mix because she also liked the professional wrestler and had heard from David Ravitz that Kenny was attracted to her personality and curvy figure.

Bibiana therefore approached Kenny for a conversation about moving past a friendship, and their talk quickly resulted in a passionate kiss.


Bibiana said she'd be shocked not to receive Kenny's rose.

But Kenny furthered his connection with Jacqueline, and then Annaliese pulled out all the stops by planning a little wrestling date for Kenny. The couple put on masks, wrestled, and had a blast -- and Annaliese felt "comfortable and confident" in what they had.

"I'm totally getting a rose tonight and am waking up here tomorrow," Annaliese told the cameras.

David was then shown surprising Jenna with a giant dog stuffed animal for her birthday. She named him Brownie and really appreciated the gesture.

But once Jordan saw David and his love interest hitting it off, he immediately walked over to the pair, grabbed the stuffed animal, headed down to the beach, and threw the dog in the ocean! Jordan didn't say a word while acting out this scene.


"I'm a pretty cool cat. Just David, stop pushing me," Jordan told the cameras of the man he had sparred with on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette. "He's only here to sabotage what I've got going on and Jenna played right into it."

Jordan got very jealous and told Jenna he didn't like her hanging out with David. Jenna, however, couldn't believe Jordan's behavior, and so she decided to walk away from him when he was trying to talk to her.

Jordan then caught Chelsea Roy and Jubilee seemingly chuckling and gossiping about his behavior. He yelled at the girls and told them to "shut the f-ck up." He even told Chelsea that she should be embarrassed her man -- David -- was giving birthday presents to other girls.

Chelsea and Jubilee were hurt and offended, and Annaliese soon made it known to Jordan that he had acted disrespectful and there is never a situation that warrants a man raising his voice to a woman and swearing at her.

Annaliese wondered whether Jenna would even accept Jordan's rose after this little public outburst.


Krystal understood Jordan's intent behind throwing the dog in the ocean and supported his overall goal of protecting and defending Jenna, but she also agreed Jordan had "crossed a line."

Jenna was torn between David and Jordan. She didn't want a guy who blows up and has hissy fits, but she had a strong connection with the professional male model from the first day they met.

Once Jordan calmed down, he got in front of the entire group and apologized to everyone, and it came off sincere.

It then became time for the Rose Ceremony.

Jordan knew he was in the "dog house" with Jenna, but he asked her for a second chance, and so she decided to accept his rose. Jordan couldn't wait to eat breakfast with Jenna the following morning, as he was just so happy to be around her.

David then gave a rose to Chelsea, Kevin Wendt gave his rose to Astrid Loch, Chris offered a rose to Krystal, John gave his rose to Jubilee, Joe Amabile offered his rose to Kendall, Colton gave his rose to Tia, Eric gave his rose to Angela, and finally, Kenny gave his rose to Annaliese.


The results of the Rose Ceremony sent Jacqueline, Bibiana, Nysha and Caroline home, and all the girls were very disappointed they had failed to make a lasting connection in Paradise.
