Bachelor in Paradise Season 10: Who Went Home in Episode 7?
Paradise just got a whole lot messier, folks. If you thought the drama couldn't possibly escalate after last week's Golden eliminations, Monday night's episode proved us all wrong. Between secret rendezvous reveals and a group vote that had everyone choosing sides, Episode 7 delivered the kind of chaos that makes you want to throw popcorn at your TV (in the best way possible).
Who Was Eliminated?
Kim Buike and Faith Martin were sent packing in what might be the most controversial elimination of the season so far. Here's where it gets complicated though — Kim didn't lose a traditional rose ceremony. The group actually voted him out before the ceremony even happened, citing concerns about his health after that scary moment during the Birds of Paradise challenge last week. And since Faith was coupled with Kim, she had to leave too.

I'll be honest, this one hurt to watch. Faith's tearful goodbye had me reaching for tissues, especially after she'd been such a bright spot among the Golden contestants this season. The way she handled the whole situation with grace? Chef's kiss. Though I have to wonder if the health concerns were just a convenient excuse for some contestants who saw Kim as competition for that $500,000 prize...
The Secret Rendezvous Challenge
The Secret Rendezvous challenge was supposed to reveal which contestants were most compatible outside their current couples — and boy, did it deliver on that promise. Couples sat in isolation booths with headphones on, answering a series of questions about each other. The twist? If you matched five times with someone who wasn't your partner, you'd get to see their identity in the mysterious "Circle of Truth" and have a chance for a secret late-night meetup.
Lea and Jonathon surprisingly crushed it, taking home the win despite Lea learning earlier that Jonathon only sees her as a friend. (Ouch.) But the real fireworks came when Brian used his secret rendezvous opportunity not for romance, but to drop an absolute bomb on Bailey.
And this is where bartender Wells Adams was right — you really did feel like you were taking crazy pills watching this unfold. Brian revealed that Jeremy had recently reached out to his ex Susie, allegedly saying he'd propose to her "on the spot." Bailey's reaction? Devastating. The tears, the confrontation with Jeremy, the way Jeremy couldn't even look the camera in the eye while insisting "things change really quickly in Paradise" — it was reality TV gold and heartbreak rolled into one.
The wildest part? Brian became the villain for telling Bailey the truth! Dale Moss (walking red flag alert) had the audacity to criticize Brian's "integrity being too high." Sir, that's not the burn you think it is.
