Rodney Is The Bachelor In Paradise Favorite

Rodney’s fans proclaimed their loyalty online and offered their negative feelings about Eliza. Some opinions were more generous than others, but overall, it seems the BIP fans side with Rodney. greeniebeanie214 started a Reddit thread saying they think “[Eliza] lacked the emotional intelligence needed to navigate a love triangle.” While others were a little more straightforward, calling Eliza a "dumb dumb,” with a Redditor replying, “Ditto on the dumb dumb.” So much of the anger from viewers stems from Eliza’s mixed messaging, which may be elevated by BIP producer involvement. She wanted Rodney to tell her to stay, but when he did it in a gentle and nonconfrontational way, she received it as apathy. This struck fans the wrong way, and many posts speak to the toxicity of that reaction.

Bachelor In Paradise Fans Hope To Never See Eliza & Justin Again

Fans are over Justin as well, and many are comparing the two BIP cast members. The growing support for Rodney has resulted in a lot of backlash for Justin, and social media reflects this attitude. In fact, one Twitter user jokingly suggested a petition should be started to never see either Justin or Eliza on screen again. "Petition to never bring these two back to paradise again," bach memes on Twitter said.

Fans Think Eliza's Reactions To Rodney On BIP Are Toxic

When Eliza, from The Bachelor season 26, first arrived on the beach, she was popular among fans and the cast alike. However, her likability quickly took a turn when Justin reappeared for a date with her. It seemed when she tried to test Rodney her plan backfired, and it showed how toxic her behavior toward him has been. It was one of the most shocking turn-of-events of BIP the episode. Gabi Perez from Twitter even said, "Eliza is really mad that Rodney said “I care about you and don’t want you to go but if exploring is what you need to do then go”…. Instead of being…. Controlling and possessive? Bruh."​​​​​​
