Bachelor In Paradise - Season 5 - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I could be into that! I've always liked Astrid and thought she was probably one the more genuine girls in the season.

I don't know if this should be posted here or not, but Ashley and Jared are supposed on GMA this morning. It also looks like Tanner/Jade and Carly/Evan were all with Ashley/Jared yesterday -- possibly more filming for BIP?

Sounds to me like TPTB are making BIP5 all about Ashley and Jared and other past contestants.

Ho hum

Well -- I don't know why I thought that they'd be interviewing Ashley and Jared on GMA. I guess they want to save that for BIP5 -- all they showed was their past that was aired on the show and the picture that Jared proposed. Personally, I hope they explain things better in BIP5 because they didn't explain anything at all. I hope they do more justice to them since they are touting them as a successful couple -- there has to be footage shot that wasn't aired before that they can air. Ashley and Jared have both said that in BIP3 -- there was a narrative with them not shown that also played out between them because it didn't fit with the "storyline". I would like to think that they would show some of that instead to at least fill in some of the blanks. GMA certainly didn't do that at all. JMO.

It just shows Ashley was not crazy when she said Jared was giving her mixed signals that people just thought she was obsessed and Jared did not want a romantic relationship with her

That poster responded now! She said she has an inside source she can't reveal but that Kevin and Astrid have been a couple from the beginning.

^^ I wonder how Kevin will feel when he finds out Ashley is engaged! I still think she used him to make Jared jealous. Ah well they are happy so good luck to them.

That will be an interesting watch. IMO Jasmine (BetteCA), Ashley, and Astrid seem very different from each other.

Yeah, she seems to be a cool person - I’m definitely interested in seeing how they connect

Lol I just finished reading that!
I’m glad there are these little scoops dropped from time to time since I’m so impatient haha.
I’m excited to see how it all plays out

Kevin has only said kind things about Ashley and Jared. I don't think the engagement will matter to him. There's more but I didn't look for more.

“You deserve it Ash,” he wrote on the photo of the couple. “Congratulations to you both.”

I know nothing, or remember nothing about Astrid. Where does she live?

Florida before going on shows. IDK if she remained there.
What I remember of her:
- spoke in German about her boobs as her intro on the driveway
- bouncy boobs at the track group date which she won after almost stepping on Rachel’s hand so seemingly competitive
That’s it for my memory of her.

@notarose that's more than I recall. TY!

Florida is good. That's a quick flight from Toronto, or Buffalo. Gotta make sure the distance isn't too far.

German is good too. There were a lot of German immigrants in the Kitchener-Waterloo area where Kevin grew up. I'm sure he is familiar with their traditions.
