SAYULITA, MEXICO: 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9 has just started and fans seem to have already started getting the ick with Episode 3. This episode will finally address Sam Jeffries' poop situation. We saw the star claiming in the show that she has not pooped for 9 days.

This gave rise to a medical emergency, making production call the doctors. They claimed that Sam needs to deliver almost a "poo baby." Fans believe ABC did not need to show such personal things on the show.

Moreover, many called out ABC for the quality of the show. One wrote on X, "Downgrading in quality going from #GoldenBachelor to #bachelorinparadise," referring to the show that airs right before 'Bachelor In Paradise' on Thursdays.

Another uploaded a photo from the 'Barbie' movie where Stereotypical Barbie is seen lying on the floor, along with the caption, "Bracing myself to watch the poop baby trailer for the 100th time."



 



 

A fan tweeted, "A poop baby?? Kathy was right. We dont need to share anything. We can keep it to ourselves." Another wrote, "Stop with the poop storyline … why do producers think this is what we want to see?"



 



 

"The whole poop situation didn't even need to be aired," added another fan. Another shocked viewer wrote, "Im not prepared to sir through this "poop baby" story line."
