Tonight’s Bachelor in Paradise episode was a damn doozy, complete with arrivals of exes, drunken tears and betrayals of friendship. Paradise, it was not.
For the TL;DR version, Ciarran and Jessica pashed on a paddle board in the pouring rain (à la Notebook), Jake and Helena went on a one-on-one date and she got major doubts, and everyone found Britt’s attempts at flirting so damn relatable (we must continue protecting her at all costs). Oh, and Ciarran’s ex-girlfriend Renee finally arrived, dropping a mega bomb that Ciarran had actually left Angie’s season of The Bachelorette to be with her. Ooooft. For the full low-down, head on over to the official episode recap here.
Twitter’s contributions were just as entertaining as the episode itself, if not more. So without further ado, let’s dive into the cybersphere’s best reactions to the emotional bin fire that was tonight’s 90 minutes.

Brittney: Let’s just go into this with an open mind about how it might go
Britt: Oh I think it’ll all go downhill rapidly
Brittney: Same

Ok Timm – let me get this right.
Ciarran pashes Renee’s mates (more than one) and that’s ok.
But Niranga – being just a friend (yes there is such a thing) to Renee isn’t ok?
Don’t know if I see it that way. #BachelorInParadiseAU

Above all the drama – which there was obviously a lot of – one particular topic permeated throughout social media tonight: Niranga’s zero airtime on the season so far. A damn injustice.
Niranga’s a legend, and, whenever he’s shown on telly, his one-liners are absolute zingers. Yes, he was shown a tad more than usual tonight, but that’s only led many to rightfully demand that our king be shown more.
More, we said, MORE.
The following list will be dedicated to him.

niranga having little to no screentime… at this point i’m just going to assume that he’s faded into obscurity or been given the america’s next top model treatment #bachelorinparadiseau pic.twitter.com/AUgSau66X8

Niranga doesn’t get many lines but when he does he roasts Ciarran and I respect that #BachelorInParadiseAU

At this point, I am 100% ready to just throw everyone else off the island and let Niranga have a nice, relaxing holiday #BachelorInParadiseAU

I’ve got an idea, instead of another pseudo-tradie in a shiny-lapelled suit, we make 28-YEAR-OLD AIRCRAFT ENGINEER AND PERSONALITY-OWNER NIRANGA AMARASINGHE THE NEXT BACHELOR YOU COWARDS #BachelorInParadiseAU

Onto the next ep, which’ll hopefully feature Niranga for more than the stock-standard 0.0000001 second.
