Demi came in hot into the season, ready to stir things up. While she did take a few guys away for a conversation, she did have a date card and picked Brendan to go on a date with her. While the couple were away, Natasha seemed to sulk since she thought she had a good thing going with Brendan. While Demi and Brendan were out on a date, the rest of cast played a game of rumour, seeing that there was a conversation about Brendan being involved with Pieper James, from Matt James' season. The two spent time together prior to the show, which led to everyone believing that they were an item and that Brendan was waiting for her to arrive. Fans were prepared for the chaos that ensued. 

"That rumor got out of control so fast it went from "I heard Brendan talked to Pieper" to "Brendan is cheating on Pieper by being here" #BachelorInParadise" tweeted a fan. "me hopping on twitter after the Piper and Brendan thing was brought up #BachelorInParadise #BachelorNation" added another. "I LITERALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR PIPER TO SHOW UP!!! #BachelorinParadise" added a fan. 



 



 



 



Meanwhile, Demi and Brendan started off strong on their date, but things went south very fast when Brendan said he wanted to keep his options open because, before Demi's arrival, he had been talking to women and did create a connection. Demi saw that as the ultimate betrayal and was livid. Fans didn't waste a chance to call her out. 

""He's treating me like I'm a clingy bitch." Says a chick who went on one date and the guy said he wanted to keep his other options open. #BachelorInParadise" stated a fan. "She's done after one date……… and a rejection… that wasn't even a real rejection because he's just going with the flow of the show……… make it make sense!!! #BachelorInParadise" agreed another. "Demi doesn't know how to take rejection. She seems like she always gets what she wants but that's not how the world works hunny. #BachelorInParadise" pointed out another. "Brendan very politely explained that he wants to date other people on a dating show and Demi didn't handle it well… she clearly isn't used to being rejected #BachelorInParadise" stated a fan. "Brendan giving Demi the Matt James "thank you for sharing that" reaction. #BachelorInParadise #BachelorNation" joked another. 



 



 



 



 



 




While Brendan did clear the air after the date, Demi was still seething. It didn't help that Brendan began talking to Natasha again, resulting in Demi getting even more pissed off. It looks like contestants are going to start feeling the heat!
