Brooks and Zack both go after Jackie on 'Bachelor in Paradise'

This week picked up with Jesse fresh off picking Christy to stay around on "Bachelor in Paradise". Cody, meantime, told Michelle that he loved her. He said that he wants his next girlfriend to be his wife. So, needless to say Michelle is freaking out. She pulled Cody aside and said that she wants to slow things down. That scared the heck out of him, but he's willing to hang in there.

A date card came and it said "choose a Lacy" ha! There's only one Lacy and I guess it's even obvious to the show's producers that Marcus and Lacy are a real couple. They go for a hike in the woods and they find a little hole in the ground with a ladder. That hole was small! Talk about claustrophobia! They climbed down into a cave to look at the stalagmites and stalactites. Once they took a walk and explored around, they find little fish in the water and then bats! Lots and lots of bats! I would be leaving at that point!

Eventually, Lacy and Marcus found the end of the cave where there was a pool of water of sorts and some drinks waiting for them. They sat down and talked about being vulnerable in relationships and how hard it is for Lacy to share her feelings. She said that she was ready to face her fears and she's on the same page as him and that she is falling for him. Hooray!

Back in paradise, Michelle and Jesse had a chat. She said she is overwhelmed by Cody's feelings and Jesse basically said that she needs to nip that in the bud if she's not that into him. Robert and Sarah were spending their time kissing in the water.

Meantime, Brooks comes walking down the beach. Sarah started to freak out because she has a big crush on him. He of course had a date card. Brooks said that he was really attracted to Sarah and Robert seemed to try to make his claim by putting his arms around Sarah. I'm pretty shocked that she's not that into Robert all of a sudden, I thought she really liked him. Sarah freaked out while talking to Graham and Jackie about Brooks and even started crying at one point because she really wants to go out with Brooks. Then, right in front of Sarah, he asked Jackie to go on the date. Sarah obviously was really bummed, and Zack was too! He's been hanging out with Jackie!

Brooks and Jackie went out to a restaurant called Casa Banana. Brooks busted out his Spanish speaking skills on the date and that impressed Jackie. As the date went on, Brooks started to become smitten with Jackie and kept saying that he found her really cute. It was like a love at first sight situation! Jackie said that she feels a little torn now because she likes Brooks but she had accepted Zacks rose already.

They spent some time after their dinner playing foosball. They were betting kisses. Jackie won and so Brooks gave her a kiss on the cheek. He walked her back to the beach and the house and they ended the date with a hug. Seems like Zack had nothing to worry about...yet.

Sarah continued to pine away after Brooks. She said that after hanging out with Brooks she realized that Robert isn't really for her. She said that she thinks she needs to break up with Robert. Robert left a letter on her bed and it said how much he likes her and asked her to meet him on the beach. It was really sweet! They shared some wine on a blanket and talked. There's just one more week left in paradise. He told her that he wants to explore their relationship in the real world and go on dates. Then Sarah changed her mind and said that Robert is exactly what she wants, she wants a guy who will make her feel special and do nice things for her.

Michelle and Cody were also talking on the beach. Cody said that his heart is going a hundred miles an hour and he knows that he's not doing it all right. He said that he wants her to meet his parents! He tried to explain to her that this is just coming from his heart. Michelle appreciated that he said that he will give her all the space he needs. He said that he's just telling her what he wants, but it's also up to her. She said she never wants to discourage his honesty.

Christy seems to still be under the delusion that Jesse is a great guy and boyfriend material. He is sitting around and talking about how he's going to go back to her room and hook up with her. So he has been bragging to the guys and Michelle has had enough. She rats him out to Christy that Lucy gave Jesse a *expletive*. Christy calls him a "douchebag" and says she hates him.

Christy says that she wants to go home, but she's going to leave her situation in God's hands. This just got deep. Another guy comes strolling down the beach, and it was Tasos! The ladies were rejuvenated! He has a date card and he decides to pull Michelle aside. Cody is horrified! Tasos is his friend! But, it's not what he thinks. He just wants advice on who to ask out. Tasos also talked up Cody big time to Michelle and that meant a lot to her. She advises Tasos to ask out Christy.

Tasos tells Christy that she seems like a lot of fun and he asks her on a date and he was so polite about it! Jesse is like, what?! Payback is tough dude! They take a long boat ride to a reserve where they explore the swamps. They see turtles and all kinds of fish. It's basically an all-natural lazy river. Tasos really wants to kiss her and he tells her and she just says that "You never know what's going to happen." Christy says that Jesse is half the man that Tasos is. HA!

Brooks and Jackie played HORSE on the beach and Zack just sat that stewing away and getting mad that he was missing out. A date card arrived later and it was for Zack! He was pumped that he had a chance to ask Jackie out. He's like game on, and goes and asks her. Crazy AshLee was upset that the card wasn't for her and Graham. Jackie decides to go on the date with Zack though.

Michelle is so over AshLee's drama. Her reactions to AshLee are priceless. She says that she knows AshLee is just being nice to her because Graham is one of her best friends. Michelle says her eyes are on AshLee like a hawk.

Zack and Jackie have a date in a cave, very similar to Marcus and Lacy's date. They go swimming in the cave, bats and all, and emerge to the caves opening and there's torches lit around a spot for them to have drinks. Zack says that he's so excited to have this date and he understands why Jackie went out with Brooks but he didn't like it. She seemed very receptive to Zack because he told her that he was interested her even before this show. He told her that after Clare she's like a breath of fresh air to him and really makes him feel happy. Jackie and Zack did some kissing in the cave!

It's a stormy night for the rose ceremony. Two guys have to go home. So Zack and Brooks both wanted to talk to Jackie. Zack gave Jackie one of those cheapie bracelets that you make a wish and eventually it falls off and when it does you get your wish. Jackie really liked it. Brooks pulled Jackie aside next and they painted their nails. Um, ok. So odd.

Christy said to Tasos that she really likes him and just wants to take things slow and not how she did with Jesse. Jesse was annoyed that Christy was spending so much time with Tasos. I think he knows that his time is limited. He tells her a bunch of lines and that they have a good foundation blah, blah, blah. Christy said that she doesn't wish for this to go any further. He laughed at her and said why didn't you just say that. He's trying to manipulate her and she is shocked because he said that he's going to leave because Christy didn't open up to him. She sees through it, thank goodness. I'm so glad that she let Jesse leave. Michelle helped her keep a level head.

Christy confronts Jesse in the SUV and she tells him she's on to him. She tells him that she knows what he told the guys about her, Lucy, and Jackie. She calls him a coward. She says you just don't want to look like an idiot at the rose ceremony by not getting a rose. The other ladies jumped in to help her. Michelle and Lacy would not back down and let him get the better of the situation. He disgusted all of them that he had no remorse for anything.

Then, it was time for roses. Lacy gave her rose to Marcus, AshLee picked Graham, Sarah gave her rose to Robert, Michelle picked Cody, Christy chose Tasos, and lastly Jackie gave her rose to Zack. That meant Brooks had to go home.

Next week, there's no new arrivals, it's time to put the relationships to the test! What's going to happen? There's one thing for sure, there's a lot of crying!
