BACHELOR IN PARADISE - “708” – Heading into the long-awaited cocktail party, five women prepare to be sent home, but first, they’ll have to make it through one of the craziest nights in Paradise history. Starting off with a bang, the beach’s most controversial couple faces a reckoning they can’t come back from. Then, one couple pays a visit to the Boom Boom Room, another endures a birthday breakup of epic proportions, and one unlucky lady gets a second chance at love, all before the rose ceremony even begins. When the roses are finally handed out, there’s one more surprise in store…WHAT?! Lil Jon has arrived as the next guest host and he’s not playing around, OKAY? In fact, he brought a whole new batch of guys with him who will make their entrances soon. Later, as a new day begins, it feels like a fresh start in Paradise. But is there more hope or heartbreak on the horizon for these beachgoers? Only time will tell on “Bachelor in Paradise,” TUESDAY, SEPT. 14 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

For the first time, a Bachelorette has made her way to Mexico and Becca Kufrin – rose in hand – is bringing the heat to the beach. Is that all? Not a chance.

Abigail Heringer began having doubts about her relationship with Noah Erb on the Aug. 31 episode of Bachelor in Paradise. From the very first day, Abigail and Noah were a strong couple on the beach in Mexico. She even took him on a date when she received the first date card of the season, and they each gave each other a rose at the first and second rose ceremonies. However, as other couples began making major strides, Abigail started to feel like her relationship with Noah was remaining stagnant.

She confronted Noah about what she was thinking, and he was surprised to hear she was feeling this way. When she began to wonder if they were just “delaying the inevitable” by not taking the relationship to the next level, Noah began to have doubts. “I didn’t expect a conversation like this,” he admitted. “Abigail and I have been strong this whole time. I did not like where the conversation went. After everything she said to me, I’m kind of like…there’s something in me that’s like, I’m just going to pull back. I don’t like it, but I don’t know what else I can do.”

The conversation between Abigail and Noah ended awkwardly, and she turned to some of her girlfriends to share what happened. “It’s just hard to see other couples being so much more fun and happy and all in,” Abigail said, through tears. “I’m like..are we doing something wrong? Are we getting in each other’s way because we’re scared to open up? I don’t know. I feel like it should potentially be really good. Things are super easy. We both said we never hit it off with someone that easy before. But I think, honestly, I kind of hurt him when I said I kind of feel like we’re friend-zoning each other. I feel like he kind of shut down. He, like, started tearing up and I felt really bad.”

In a confessional, Abigail couldn’t hold back the tears from flowing out. “I am so bad at this,” she admitted. “I literally just self-sabotage. We had such a good thing going on and I just f***ed it up. It’s not even like I want to go on dates with anyone else. There’s no one else here I’m interested in. It’s Noah. I just feel like I hurt him. I feel horrible. I don’t know why I always do this.”
