Why did Blake Moynes self-eliminate from 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9?

Blake Moynes decided to quit 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9 because he failed to form a strong connection. In the latest episode, Blake had a conversation with Jessica Girod and told her that his ex-fiancée, Katie Thurston's, arrival on the beach made him realize that they were stagnant in their relationship.

Blake said, "I had way, way, way less time with her, but we were able to accomplish so much more. I've had so much more time with you, and I feel like we're kind of going in circles."

He added, "We had such a great start and then it just started to fester and circle. I just feel like everything's pointing to, as much as we want this to work, that it's not going to."

Blake later admitted to the cameras, "At this point, I just feel like I've tried it all... I feel like a failure right now." He added, "I tried it three times and failed."
