‘Bachelor in Paradise 2’ spoilers: Details on Samantha Steffen, Joe Bailey, and Juelia Kinney tension
This season of “Bachelor in Paradise” has already been plenty scandalous, but we have some more news for you now that suggests that it is really about to explode. For the latest round of dates on the show Monday night, we’re going to see just what the arrival of Samantha Steffen does when it comes to destroying Juelia Kinney’s heart, given that she thought for at least a short amount of time that Joe Bailey could be the right guy for her.
Of course, we’ve known otherwise for quite some time that there is something more going on here, since Joe only seemed to be interested in being there for Samantha. The synopsis below adds a little more fuel to the fire:
“As the week begins, a beautiful new Bachelorette, Samantha, arrives to Paradise with a date card and invites Joe. As the two embark on their date, they leave Playa Escondida holding hands, leaving Juelia extremely disheartened. Joe and Samantha head to a gorgeous rooftop pool at the exquisite Vidanta Resort, where they learn they will be doing a sexy photo shoot for PEOPLE. While things get hot and heavy between the blossoming couple, back at the house the cast is convinced Joe manipulated Juelia to give him her rose. When they return, his friends pressure him to smooth things out with Juelia, but Joe is anything but apologetic, and things get especially awkward when Samantha walks into the middle of it.”
The Joe issue is something that we discussed at length earlier in our new podcast on the show. In some ways, production is complicit in this going down, mostly in that they have a system here that requires people to have a romantic connection to stick around. If Joe wanted to spend time with Samantha, he needed a rose on the previous date.
With this being said, there had to be a better way for him to go about this … right? It seems like there had to be.
