You didn't really think I could let an entire season pass without dedicating at least one article to it, did you? We are one week away from the "Bachelor in Paradise" finale and it seems as though we've seen it all this season. Couples falling in love, couples falling out of love, men carrying lamps, a pair of twins pulling a "Parent Trap" moment. Everything. Although every episode has had it's fair share of memorable moments, this past week struck me as particularly great. So, from me to you, a list of the best (and a few of the worst) moments from week five.
Best: When Ashley's dog heard her prayer
I am most definitely the type of person to reach out to my deceased dog in times of need. This moment was incredible.
Best: When Ashley and Wells received a standing ovation
That may have been the most anticipated date in "Bachelor in Paradise" history.
Best: When Evan professed his love for Carly
I wasn't team Evan and Carly at first. But they're both weird and are falling in love with each other's weirdness and I kind of like it.
Worst: When Wells made out with literally everyone
I like Wells as much as the next person; we share a mutual adoration of music and tacos. But come on buddy, three girls in one day?
Best: When Amanda ditched Josh
Josh insisted they were going to be using that bed together, but Amanda was already passed out in her own room. Bummer for you, Josh!
Best: When Ashley and Wells had a surprise visitor on their date
This already cute date was made even more adorable by a stray island dog showing up and bringing out the dog-lover in both Ashley and Wells.
Worst: When Ashley COULD. NOT. MOVE. ON.
We get it, honey, but you forced Jared to leave. With Caila. So now we're mad.
Best: When Nick was honest with Josh
Yessss, go Nick! That time that he was completely honest and blunt with Josh about not trusting him and this is the face Josh made in response.
Best: When Daniel tried to woo all of the girls
This Canadian was super desperate for a rose. He even went out and got a lamp to give to Izzy. That's commitment.
Worst: The Twins' discussion with Amanda
Yes, they were good friends and warned Amanda about what everyone already knew about Josh, but it was nearly impossible to understand them through their sobbing. It was just a little too much.
Best: The awkwardness between Ashley and Caila
I am not a huge fan of either of these women, but I love the tension between them. Love. It.
Worst: Izzy's obsession with Brett's looks
I will forever be bitter about Izzy breaking up with Vinny. But the only thing Izzy ever says she likes about Brett is his physical attributes. Really? Was that really worth breaking Vinny's heart over?
We have just one week left before Paradise is over! Will anyone end up engaged? Will solid couples break up? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain: It'll be the most "shocking season finale yet!"
