What Jess Edwards’ Shocking Admission Means For Bachelor In Paradise
Jess Took The Opportunity To Shoot Her Shot
Jess' shocking admission about sliding into Spencer’s DMs prior to filmingBachelor in Paradiseisn’t very surprising, since a key difference between this show andLove Islandis that the contestants onBachelor in Paradiseare already known to audiences.Love Island’s cast members are generally unknowns, so any type of communication prior to the show between contestants is suspicious.
That’s not the case onBachelor in Paradise, where many of the players might even already know each other.Jess sliding in Spencer’s DMsisn’t unusual because they both came fromBachelorfranchise shows, soit’s not a deal-breaker that the two would have already followed each other and potentially communicated.

Our Take On Jess Edwards Sliding Into Spencer Conley’s DMs

We love to see a woman who sees what she wants and goes for it, whether that’s in DMs or in real life on the show. Jess took the opportunity to get Spencer’s attention on social media, and she took it again on the show by asking him for a tour, which started their connection off on a strong note.
The burning question, however, is whether Spencer responded to Jess' messageson Instagram beforeBachelor in Paradise. Based on the connection the two are forming on the show, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had.
