Love triangles abound on 'Bachelor in Paradise'

NEW YORK -- This week on "Bachelor in Paradise", if you didn't get enough of crazy Michelle and you were sad that she was eliminated last week, fear not. She's back! Right after her elimination, she revealed that she had maybe found someone else. Turns out, she was hanging out with a member of the production staff right next door and they had started to chat through their balconies. Chris Harrison tried to confront Michelle only to have the door slammed in his face. Then, there was a really weird re-enactment of the events between a female producer and Michelle when the producer asked if someone was inside her room. The male producer in Michelle's room jumped off the balcony!

He misjudged the height and thought he was jumping just six feet when he was jumping much further. They interviewed the producer in his hospital bed with what looked like two broken legs. They asked him to spell his name at the end and his name is Ryan P-u-t-z. That's right; you can't make this stuff up ladies and gentlemen.

Chris Bukowski (Emily's season) walked in and he had a date card. The guys were already worried about him stealing "their women". He has a questionable reputation, but what girl doesn't love a bad boy? Elise jumped right in saying how good he smelled and that she was very interested in getting to know him. He wasted no time giving out his date card and he chose Clare! It's to get "pampered in paradise". Clare figured if he's a dirt bag, she can send him packing, but why not go for the experience? Once they were on their date, they went for a couple's massage.

Back at the hotel, the Robert was lamenting about the fact that Marcus was hanging out with Lacy and kissing her despite him going on a date with her just the other day. He said they had kissed and had a great time together and he didn't know what happened. So as luck would have it, Marcus got a date card and quickly invited Lacy who was sitting right next to him on the date. Robert was crushed.

During the massage, Chris asked Clare what he had heard about her and she basically told him, nothing good! He told her that he's trying to reform and when he puts his mind to it, he'll be a great husband and father someday. It totally won her over and she said she would probably give him a rose later.

Elise (despite saying she thought Chris was hot) is hanging out with Dylan and says she is falling in love with him already. They have been kissing and hanging out and making their own dates. Elise is yammering on the beach about her astrological sign and it's totally turning him off. Dylan said he feels smothered and he wishes he could meet someone else.

Marcus and Lacy went out on their date and had a nice dinner. They seemed to strengthen their bond and Marcus talked to her about how he had fallen in love with Andi. She seemed convinced that he was ready to move on and hopefully, move on with her.

Later that night, Chris and everyone else got wild on the beach. Elise ended up making out with Chris in the beach and Clare was shocked. She then decided that she would not give Chris a rose. Was Dylan jealous? Who knows, but most of the ladies thought she would totally regret what she was doing out there.

The next day, Elise cried to Michelle about Chris and Dylan and the mess she is now in. She decided to go and talk to Dylan about her indiscretions and he was very upset. He said that him telling her to "talk to other people" did not mean to go kiss other people. Honestly, I think this is him taking the easy way out of not dating her. He's basically making her the bad guy when he got exactly what he wanted. He told her it wouldn't work out and that he didn't want her to give him a rose at the rose ceremony. He said he didn't care if it hurt his chances at staying. Elise is delusional in thinking that this could make their non-existent relationship stronger.

Zack (Desiree's season) got a date card and he invited Clare. He had no idea walking in who was coupled up with who, so he just picked who he thought was the prettiest. They had a great date and seemed to make a connection although there wasn't a lot of kissing. I tend to think that they will end up more as friends than anything.

Chris spoke to Dylan and he told Elise that Dylan isn't upset at all about the situation with her. He called Dylan "Fat Damon" because he thinks he looks like Matt Damon and said he should go "Good Will Hunting" for someone else. Dylan got a date card and Chris was hoping that he wouldn't ask Elise so that he could get to know her better while Dylan is gone. Dylan ended up asking Sarah if she would like to go and she hesitated because of Elise. He told her that he wanted to see if he and Elise were friends or more and then she went and kissed Chris so then he had no doubt. Sarah went and spoke to Elise about it and Elise told her to go ahead and go on the date if she wanted. She tried to justify it in a roundabout way and it was tough to follow.

Dylan and Sarah went on their date and he apologized for her having to deal with the Elise situation and he told her that he is genuinely interested in her. They both seemed to be really sweet and kind to each other and saying how highly everyone else spoke about the other. Dylan thinks that she's very pretty, funny, and says the conversation flows and he thinks something is "there".

Back at the house, things are getting a little crazy on the beach. Ben got the party going. It doesn't seem like any of the ladies are that into him yet though. A letter fell out of Ben's backpack though, Marcus and Marquel read it, and it was from "Lindsay" and it said "I love you" in it. Marquel seemed to want to leave it alone, but Marcus said the right thing to do was to confront him. Everyone starts freaking out and trying to find out what the three of them are talking about because Ben took the two guys upstairs to talk. Once Clare sneaks upstairs and finds out what's going on, she reports back to the rest and Michelle Money starts crying about how she's there for the right reasons and left her daughter behind and if he has a girlfriend he should go home. He agrees to go home. She is furious with him though. Ben said he's done with Hollywood, his heart is in Dallas, and he's actually in love with someone else.

Marquel spoke to Michelle Money about her drinking. He told her that he's concerned about how much she likes to drink. He said that as he sipped a glass of wine by the way. She is in a party atmosphere, so that's a little unfair. Marquel said that he was pretty sure he just talked himself out of a rose. Robert, the Ken doll, came over to chat with Michelle, and she even told him that she wants to go out on a date with him. She asked him if she drinks too much or more than other people and he said no, he didn't see that.

Meantime, Chris told Elise that he likes her a lot and that he wanted to know how she felt. She said that she really wants to give the rose to Dylan, but she doesn't know if he would accept it. Sarah told Dylan that she had a great time on their date, but she's concerned about Elise. He told Sarah that he would not accept a rose from Elise because he doesn't want to rekindle something with her. He said he hoped that Sarah would really consider giving his rose to him because he likes her. He went up to Elise and he told her to go for Chris because he really likes her and he's not into her and he just wants to be friends. Elise keeps saying she's confused, but he is being very clear and is telling her "I would not accept a rose from you." I don't know what else he could say.

During the rose ceremony, Lacy selected Marcus, Clare picked Zack, Michelle picked Marquel, Elise asked Dylan and he said no. Then she went into a really weird speech where she even quoted wedding vows and then asked Chris to take the rose. He was totally her second choice but he accepted it. Lastly, Sarah decided to pick handsome Robert and not Dylan. Dylan basically deserved what he got, Sarah was pretty clear in the fact that she just didn't want to be involved in the drama.

Next week, Marcus and Lacy's relationship grows while Ashlee and Graham seemed to have some issues. Ashlee got way too wrapped up in "forever" apparently. Also experiencing issues, a love quartet of sorts with Michelle, Marquel, Robert, and some other girl in the house. Meantime, Chris Bukowski is a dirt bag (the cast members say, not me) and breaks someone's heart.
