“They’re Playing Everyone” Bachelor in Paradise Viewers CALL OUT Jeremy & Bailey’s ‘Fake Love Story’: Branding Them ‘Repulsive and Desperate for Screen Time’

Bailey Brown and Jeremy Simon are one of the most unlikely couples on this season of Bachelor In Paradise. In addition to Jeremy and Bailey, the other early couples were Kat Izzo and Dale Moss, and Jess Edwards and Spencer Conley. Brian Autz later found a connection with Parisa Shifteh.

Jeremy was a fan-favorite on Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette season but his behavior on the beach is really turning viewers off. Bailey was a contestant on Grant Ellis’ Bachelor season but went home in Week 3. She quickly paired up with Jeremy on the beach. But when Andrew Spencer arrived, she went on a date with him. Jeremy had previously accepted a date with Susie Evans but reacted badly to Bailey going on a date with someone else.

While Bailey was on the date with Andrew, Jeremy called Susie Evans to try to convince her to return to the show. She turned him down. Despite confessing to the other women, none of them have clued Bailey into the deception. The trailer for the next episode teases that she finds out, but from one of the women or someone else?

Bailey and Jeremy came under fire during the most recent episode for their “gross” behavior.

Jeremy Simon & Bailey Brown’s Intimate Act Caught On Camera

Bachelor In Paradise viewers expect hot-and-heavy kissing, body shots, and generally unruly behavior. But what Jeremy and Bailey did in the last episode crossed the line.

While kissing, they swapped a piece of gum and dangled a string of gum between them. Think of The Lady & The Tramp’s famous spaghetti scene but grosser and way less romantic.

Bachelor In Paradise Fans Call Them ‘Gross’

Bachelor In Paradise fans took to social media to react to the intimate moment. Many viewers were disgusted by the gum swapping. In fact, some fans of the show thought it was middle school behavior.

• “It’s gross 🤮 I don’t even do that with my husband.”
• “was so grossssss”
• “Yeah that was sooooo cringe”
• “It’s SO repulsive”
• “Middle school dating antics”
• “that was so gross”

One viewer summed it up on Twitter by using a meme of Raven Symone’s That’s So Raven character admonishing as “Ya nasty.”

If someone does spill Jeremy’s secret phone call to Susie next week, Bailey will definitely be hurt. But will she call it quits with him? Reality Steve reported earlier in the season that Jeremy and Simon left the beach as a couple. The current status of their relationship won’t be revealed until the season 10 finale. The air date for the finale hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s expected to air in early September.

Share your reaction to the gum swap in the comments. Do you think Bailey forgives Jeremy for calling Susie?
