View Collection

Rodney Mathews Has been approved Lace Morris’ rose at the Monday rose ceremony on Bachelor in Paradise, but after two weeks has shaken things up for the couple. While Lace and the other women were taken to a new location, Rodney and the men returned to the beach with five new women. Rodney immediately felt a connection with Eliza Isichei. “Eliza and I are really connecting,” admits Rodney. “She has the aspects that I am looking for in a future mate, in a wife. This is really interesting for me. When I started here, Lace and I scrambled and connected, and now that Eliza is here, it’s been tough for me this week to be stuck between two amazing people. I have a lot to learn.”

Meanwhile, Lace was sulking in bed, crying and wondering what Rodney was up to. Five new men arrive at the women’s hotel, and Serene Russell and Victoria Fuller urges Lace to put herself out there and see if there is another connection for her. “I think Lace should date because I think Rodney would,” says Serene. “But accepting that is really hard.”

Turns out, Rodney do received a dating card, and he asked Eliza to come with him. “Rodney makes me feel really good,” says Eliza. “He made me feel really special. I really, really like him and I think those feelings are reciprocated. I think we’re a really good fit. It feels very organic. It feels really, really hard. I’m excited to see where all of this can go. “

The two enjoyed a romantic dinner where they chatted and got to know each other. “I am really looking for love. This is where I am at the moment,” Rodney told Eliza. “My goal is to leave here in a relationship and leave here with a special woman I know I can bring home to my mom, my family, my friends. I’ve had this feeling since you walked in that I can really really succeed in this experience and find someone who has truly changed and enhanced my life. ” Eliza responded to those feelings, adding, “I came into this, not with low expectations, but without expectations. I want to go in, open up and have an open mind and see what happens. Of course, it was Monday and I was…it could happen. It can. Its going on. “

Lace was still crying when she got back to the hotel, and she couldn’t bear not knowing what Rodney was doing for another minute. “The past two days have been hell,” she said. “Such uncertainty is really starting to take its toll on me. I’m lucky to have found Rodney. He was just there, laughing and having a good time. Is he even thinking about me? Why would I cry about someone who might not cry about me? I’m so nervous because I’m afraid he makes a stronger connection and I’m miserable here. Time for me to go back to Rodney and see if we’re on the same page. I need to let him know how I feel about him. I really want to pursue this and take it seriously and move forward, but right now I don’t know if he feels the same way. I was so anxious. Being alone without him… I can’t do it. I will go crazy.”

So Lace took it upon himself to head back to the beach and see what was going on. Of course, she couldn’t help but get emotional when she found out that Rodney was dating someone else. Lace tries to get answers from others about how Rodney feels and gets frustrated that they don’t have much to share. Finally, Rodney and Eliza were back… holding hands. Rodney pulls Lace aside to talk, but we won’t see the aftermath of their conversation until next week’s episode.
