Who Went Home On ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season 10, Episode 2?

As a longtime Bachelor Nation member, I’ve seen my fair share of gasp-worthy moments, twists, and cliffhangers over the years. But I still wasn’t expecting the chaos at the end of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Episode 2.

After a tame Season 10 premiere, Bachelor in Paradise Week 2 dialed up the drama by giving the men the roses and inviting four new women to the beach.

Among the newbies was Justin Glaze’s ex, Susie Evans, who he mentioned to his Paradise crush, Lexi Young, in Week 1. Young was concerned about dating someone who had a recent breakup. So Susie’s presence predictably heightened emotions…

Who else joined the Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 cast? Who went on a date? Who went home on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Episode 2? And what the heck was the big rose ceremony twist?! Decider’s got answers!

Who Joined The Bachelor in Paradise Cast In Season 10, Episode 2?

As Decider’s exclusive Week 2 clip showed, Bachelor Season 19’s Parisa Shifteh and Alli Jo Hinkes “came in hot.” Later, Bachelor Season 16/Paradise Season 8 contestant Jill Chin returned. Then Susie hit the beach in the most highly-anticipated arrival.

Who Went On A Date In Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Episode 2?

After Parisa and Alli Jo arrived, the group had their most “diabolical” chemistry test yet. The “Kiss and Don’t Tell” booth gave contestants a chance to swipe right or left on fellow Paradisers. If two contestants matched, they went to a kissing booth for a private smooch sesh they could choose to keep secret. A free pass to cheat, experiment, and confirm mutual physical attraction!

Parisa defied Zoe’s pleas to steer clear of her man and invited Brian on a date, while Alli Jo asked Jonathon. The four went on a double date to a bar for game night, dancing, and conversation. Meanwhile, Jill arrived, frustrated to learn so many people were paired off. And Susie appeared just as Lexi was telling Justin they had to take a break because of his breakup.

Jill asked her pal Jonathon on a date to the VIP BIP suite, and Susie took Jeremy jet skiing. Though Jill and Jonathon shared a kiss, the date was stuck in the friend zone. Jeremy was very attracted to Susie, but he also cared about Bailey. And Susie was distracted by unresolved feelings for Justin, who she dated for over a year. Ultimately, Susie pulled Lexi aside and gave her the green light to pursue a romance with Justin. Susie and Justin had emotional catch-ups. And Justin and Lexi seemingly rekindled their relationship…

Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Episode 2 Rose Ceremony Recap: Who Went Home? And What The Heck Was That Gigantic Justin Twist?! 

Spencer predictably gave his stem to Jess. Dale chose Kat. Jeremy chose Bailey. Brian betrayed Zoe and chose Parisa. And Jonathon chose Alexe. With one rose left, Susie, Alli Jo, and Zoe were seemingly going home. Lexi was a shoo-in for Justin’s rose, but he blindsided everyone by saying Susie’s name. “You mean the world to me. I told you no matter what I’d protect you and have your back,” he told a shocked Susie, who declined the stem. The episode ended with jaws dropped, a devastated Lexi, and Justin walking off set. Did Justin want to get back together with Susie or simply give her a chance to find love? And will all three contestants head home? To be continued…
