Eliminated: Week Three
It’s unclear whether Chris Conran just happened to be the recipient of ire that had already been building on the beach toward Brendan Morais and Pieper James bringing their own previously ignited romance to the show.
But for some reason, “Grocery Store” Joe Amabile, Riley Christian and others decided to confront Chris following his one-on-one date with Alana Milne—but not Brendan or Pieper—as Joe/Riley and Co. expressed anger toward Chris for jilting Jessenia. Chris’ co-stars remained convinced that he and Alana had a pre-show arrangement, and perhaps Chris, who wasn’t widely known among Bachelor Nation, was an easier target to pick on than Brendan.
A dejected Chris took a moment to chat with Alana, where he let her know he felt no choice but to leave the show. “I feel like this is where I leave Paradise, and it sucks,” he shared. “I wanted to see if you’d be willing to come with me.”
He then packed his things and left the beach without saying goodbye to the others.
