Compared to the last few weeks on Bachelor in Paradise, this week was relatively tame. The relationship test was marginally interesting, but mostly, it came down to which non-romantic couple was in danger of going home.
Below are all the details on who went home, who stayed and who coupled up, but be warned of spoilers ahead. Don’t keep reading if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Who went home on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, episode 9 in 2025 tonight?
Keith was starting to get pretty homesick this week, and he was sort of, kind of asking the other men to vote him out because he was ready to go home. Some of the girls tried to buck him by saying they want him to stay because he’s a “girl dad” and they feel so safe with him, and he was tearing up and rubbing his eyes, and I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING.
So after the vote, there’s a tie! Keith was so convinced by the ladies that he should stay that he voted for Jonathon, and there was a tie. The tiebreaker fell to Dale and he’s not Jonathon’s biggest fan, so he voted for Keith, which meant the people going home were:
Jonathon Johnson
28, Creative director, Los Angeles
Jenn Trann’s Bachelorette season 21
Lea Cayanan
24, Account manager, Waipahu, HI
Joey Graziadei’s Bachelor season 28

What was the fourth (and fifth) Relationship Test on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10?
The fourth relationship test sent each of the six couples off to a glamping site to see how they would do out in the elements — but the show had a bunch of curveballs to throw the couples’ way in order to see who could actually handle some stress as a couple.
Kat and Bailey in particular really struggled with how “rugged” it was. Kat seems to legitimately have a fear of bugs, which I don’t judge. I’m not afraid of bugs, but snakes really freak me out (the way they move), and so do shipwrecks, which is a weird one. I can’t look at photos of ships on the bottom of the ocean because it makes me feel so upset, and that’s really weird! It’s not normal! So, I empathize.
Kathy and Keith had the best conversation about how he misses his girls because camping reminds him of them, and they talked about love being out there for themselves somewhere, even if it’s not with each other, and I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING. Lordy, the Goldens are the BEST.
Then production started messing with them with animal sounds, and host Jesse Palmer acted like they were in real danger and had to head back to the hotel, and it was so dumb.
Spencer and Jess crushed the challenge, which is not a surprise to anyone, though Dr. Berman did caution them to slow their rolls because they are in a very “controlled environment” on the show. But they weren’t the winners — Dale and Kat actually won, which is…interesting. The relationship expert liked that he was trying to make her comfortable during her freak-out over the bugs, but these two have felt kind of toxic. On their date, Dale told Kat that she “feels like home,” but I’m not convinced.
Meanwhile, back at the ponderosa, Jess and Spencer had to face some harsh truths, like the fact that he’s maybe slightly ahead of her on the timeline, but honestly? I looked them up, and he’s 32 and she’s 26, so when she says she wants to be having kids by 30 “at the latest,” that’s not “really late” for him. After he said that, I was expecting to find out that she’s like 23 and he’s 40 or something. Even if they didn’t start for four years, he’s only 36. That’s not that old.
But then super cutely, Spencer said that he’s in love with Jess, and so it’s hard that she isn’t quite there yet with him. She feels close, but Spencer is IN LOVE with Jess. Awwww. He also told her he wants to move at her pace, and honestly, these two crazy kids might just be for real. For real for real.
But later, Alexe and Andrew basically exchanged “I love yous” and WHOA. Good for them! Also, Andrew totally got an “EB” from that, and Alexe absolutely called him out on that — my husband and I call them “emotional boners” and I have absolutely cackled at them before because it’s funny when you’re in a secure, loving relationship, and I could not love Alexe and Andrew more right now.
Seriously, I backed it up and brought my husband in to watch that scene, and he agreed that Alexe and Andrew seem legit. I’ve covered the Bachelor franchise since Jason Mesnick’s season, and that was one of the most genuine exchanges between love interests in my entire tenure covering this show.
And then, after the Rose Ceremony, they get sent on to their fifth Relationship Test, and it’s a real doozy. As Spencer says, “It seems like a good chance for things to get really messy,” and Keith adds, “I thought this was Bachelor in Paradise, not Backstabbing in Paradise.”
The way it worked was Jesse asked them questions about themselves, and for whoever each contestant thought was the best answer to the question, they had to stab that person’s dummy with a dagger. Then the person who got the most daggers was revealed. They were also told that two women would be voted out this week, which meant two couples were leaving.
It was not a huge shock that Kat and Dale get a lot of votes. They are walking red flags, you guys. Alexe and Andrew won with the fewest number of daggers, so they are safe. And this is the last Rose Ceremony.
