The Saga of Unhappy, Unhinged Joe continued Sunday evening on ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 Episode 9 , but did his fortunes improve? Spoiler alert: Yes. Then no. Then very much no. If you watch Bachelor in Paradise online , you know that someone had to bite the dust eventually in the ongoing battle of Joe and Samantha. This week, she changed her mind about going on a date with Justin, thinking that instead, she’d give Joe another shot … which he took. Would she change her mind back, though? Stay tuned. Amber ended up going on the date with Justin that Samantha flaked on, ditching Dan in the process as a means of making him jealous. That’s Bachelor in Paradise for you, pretty much. So is this: Amber and Justin’s date ended in tears after she wondered if she “made a mistake” for kissing Justin because she was still into Dan. She confessed this later to Dan, who also confessed … that he’s just not into her anyway. So, at least he’s honest, and she can live free of guilt? Meanwhile, infamous franchise party crasher slash liar slash man whore slash drunk slash wild card Chris Bukowski arrived on the scene. Naturally, he proceeded to get promptly sloshed. Unable to find someone to go on a date with him, he gave his date card to Joshua and Tenley and promptly peaced out. Pretty impressive. As for Jared and Ashley Iaconetti , she handed him a letter that she needed to write since every time they talk in person, she starts crying. It was three pages, front and back. At least. Jared read it aloud and it was awkward. Even more so? Amber deciding that since Dan’s no longer a fan … she’d like to use her rose on Jared! This places the producers in an interesting position of power, as they determine the order in which the women will hand out roses at the ceremony. After Carly gave hers to Kirk, Jade to Tanner, Tenley to Joshua, Juelia to Mikey and Ashley S. to Nick … Ashley I. was asked to go next. Jared accepted; Amber’s went to Justin. That left Samantha Steffen as the only girl left with a rose to hand out, and wouldn’t you know it … she blindsided Joe Bailey by giving it to Dan! Joe did not take this stunner well. At all. He again threatened to expose their texting scheme before the show; she denied any wrongdoing, called herself the victim, and so forth. She cried on Dan’s shoulder. On his way out the door, Joe lamented that he “should have f–ked her brains out.” Totally man. Totally. View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 Cast Photos
