“Probably the Biggest Bomb:” Sharleen Joynt on Episode 10 of Bachelor in Paradise

One thing I have to give this show credit for is it certainly has a way of wiggling its way back into your good graces. Sure, we got yet another newcomer this week—Robby

(anyone notice how a “battle of the Ken dolls” kept being teased, yet how there was really zero conflict at all?)—and newcomers are a total waste of time this late in the game.

But on the whole this episode felt like it was about what it should be about: fun and funny moments, and the actual substance of the relationships.

Even if a focus on that substance (or lack thereof) results in that relationship’s demise, it’s still way more interesting and thought-provoking to us than watching what feels like BS, for-the-’gram couplings.

One of the two big bombs dropped this week was Kendall and Joe.

As much as I like and have always liked Kendall, this was a rare miss for someone as self aware as she is.

She’s a thinker who has the ability to prioritize logic and rationale over hot-headed emotions.

Joe may not be as effusive as some women might require to know how he was feeling, but it always, always comes back to my rule of Show, Don’t Tell: Joe SHOWED Kendall how he felt in his dedication to her, his patience and understanding with her

(particularly when Leo came around), the endless time he spent with her (“I’m with you ALL day long”).

And Kendall, who has proven to be highly perceptive, is thus the kind of person who easily could and should have read between the lines of Joe’s actions towards her.

In other words, though he never completely and profusely expressed the depth of his feelings for her, she’s very much the type of personality who shouldn’t have needed that to feel it.
