Bachelor in Paradise has a recent addition who made a cameo appearance on a past season of The Bachelor, but because she had no chemistry with the Bachelor Chris, was sent home quickly. In other words, we barely noticed her. Now she has returned to the little screen as the femme fatale of this season’s Bachelor in Paradise. Apparently most of the men are smitten with her and the women, not so much.
We keep hearing about how “beautiful” she is, indeed she is a very pretty young woman, dark haired, intense eyes and lovely shape. The problem is that from what we have seen, her beauty is truly only skin deep. Apparently she was virtually communicating with and manipulating at least three of the men before the season began, promising each that she would definitely go on a date with them and see where it went. It seems they all believed she was coming on the show to meet and connect with them. In addition, a few other guys have honed right in on her upon arrival to the island and she has been swamped with date offers. No wonder the ladies aren’t thrilled. But wait, there is more, so much more.
Sam keeps sending mixed messages, speaking out of both sides of her mouth, playing one person against another—and is a kind of mystery to everyone. No one really knows what she is up to, what she wants and where it is all going. Well, I’d like to weigh in.
Here are my theories:
• Sam is interested in one guy, but is playing all the others in order to stay until he arrives, which he hasn’t yet.
• Sam loves the attention and even if she has to be the bad guy, she is getting most of the air time and print being generated by the show. She wants this to segue into a modeling/acting/TV hosting, etc. career, which was her plan when she went on The Bachelor, but she left too quickly.
• Sam wants to be The Bachelorette and this is just an audition. She can’t hook up with anyone in particular, needs to appear open to love and as someone that many guys will want to date. However, if she is seen as a “mean” or “bad” girl, she won’t make the cut. Bachelorettes are always fan favorites, not just guy favorites. So she has to be careful not to be obvious when she plays a guy, she has to say the right things, keep everyone thinking she is sincere and really trying to be fair and decent, and that she is a great girl and friend. Well, Sam, the women and some of the men can see right through you.
I predict that this will all come around and bite Sam in her cute little posterior and that she will leave empty-handed. Note to all mean girls out there—Karma will prevail and you will finish last. Juelia is a good example of this in reverse. She’s a sweet and very real woman and everyone loves her and jumps in to protect her. Physical beauty will only take you so far Sam. Watch out Dan. Oh and I vote for Jared being the next Bachelor. A great guy, maybe too nice for this franchise.
