Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 aired a brand new episode on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at 8 pm ET on ABC. The two-hour episode saw the cast members exploring new connections and deepening their existing romantic relationships. This week, contestants were in for a shock with Salley's arrival and a former contestant's return to probably rekindle a lost romance.
On tonight's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Salley made her much awaited appearance on the beach, spurring further drama. Shanae and Genevive - former enemies and now best friends - didn't hold back from questioning the new arrival about her past.
Ahead of her debut on the show, Salley had spoken to her ex, who she was previously engaged to, because she wanted to clear things up. When the girls asked her about the same, she left the series.
Fans were upset at how Genevieve and Shanae treated Salley. One tweeted:
The official synopsis of Episode 5 read:
"With the rose ceremony fast approaching, the remaining single men begin to question how many days they have left in Paradise; but it’s not long before new drama takes center stage. That’s right, Salley has arrived, finally ready to hit the beach and two daring women jump at the opportunity to confront her right away about her intentions."
It continues:
"Then, Shanae faces double trouble as she sorts out her feelings for two suitors, and Ashley and Jared make the most out of their last night on the beach. Later, during a full moon, one newly formed couple has a romantic breakthrough and reveals it all."
Genevieve and Shanae question Salley on Bachelor in Paradise
Tonight, Salley finally arrived at the beach after missing three flights. Despite her much-anticipated entry, she was received with skepticism from others on the show.
Previously, Wells Adams had narrated the story of her missing the flight because she wanted to connect with her ex. Although everyone questioned her intentions, it was her Stagecoach buddy Justin who connected with her.
Justin revealed during the Bachelor in Paradise episode that he had first met Salley at the Stagecoach festival, where they had instantly connected. However, he said that they had not seen each other since then, and he was looking forward to building a connection with her and potentially getting a rose by the end of the episode.
Unfortunately, Shanae and Genevieve got in the way. They instantly started blasting Salley about missing her flight. When the latter said that it was because of work, the ladies felt that she was lying and didn't want to confess about meeting her ex ahead of her debut.
Shanae believed that Salley was wasting her time and was taking someone else's spot. Genevieve stated that Justin only connected with her because he wanted nothing but a rose from her, so he could continue to stay on the show.
Later on in the Bachelor in Paradise episode, Shanae and Genevieve questioned Salley's intentions, which didn't sit well with the latter. Salley shot back at the duo and hinted at them being on the beach for the wrong reasons. She said:
"If anyone can't understand that I have respect for the guy that I was with before this, then I'm out. And that's actually why you can't trust anyone on this beach. My gut feeling was not to come. But there are a lot of people here that are also here for the wrong reasons, they just don't say it."
Even after Justin tried convincing her to stay, Salley chose to walk off the beach for good. The cast members then discussed her brief stint on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor and now, even a shorter time on Bachelor in Paradise.
