Bachelor in Paradise Season 5, Episode 10 Recap: These Breakups Are Hard to Watch
The second drama of the night is the most short-lived: Olivia and Cassandra feel it's their duty as Shu's friends to warn her about Robby. They tell her he's a serial cheater and his intentions here questionable, but Shu's like, "I'm just not sure!" When she asks Robby directly if he's ever cheated he just says, "Yes." Somehow, Shu doesn't seem bothered by this.
"I have been 100 percent honest...since I've been here." -Robby
The main drama of the night is between Kendall and Joe. He's upset that she's avoiding a serious talk, but when they finally sit down Kendall admits she doesn't know if she's in love with him. Joe's frustrated; he's been falling for her this whole time, but it's hard to express that when she's said repeatedly she's afraid of commitment because her past boyfriends "suffocated" her. Kendall thought they were on the same page, but Joe says that was her projecting. They break up and leave paradise in tears.
Their departure throws everyone off, but the rose ceremony must go on. The couples are: Cassandra and Jordan, Shushanna and Robby, Annaliese and Kamil, Astrid and Kevin, Krystal and Chris, Jenna and Jordan, and Olivia and John. This means Diggy is leaving paradise, but there's always his trumpet player! Literally, the trumpet player is sitting in the back of the van with Diggy.

The next morning, Kevin spends an hour talking about the eight-egg omelet he ordered. You know Astrid loves him because she listens to the whole thing and says "Wow!" without any hint of sarcasm. But before he gets a chance to eat it, Chris Harrison shows up to reveal that nobody new will be entering paradise. Instead, the remaining couples have a few options: leave hand in hand, stay and go to the fantasy suite (and probably head toward an engagement), or say goodbye now.
With that, things start getting real. John tells Olivia that he likes her, but he doesn't think they're ready for the fantasy suite and all that comes with it yet. She agrees, and they decide to leave but continue "hanging out." Cassandra and Jordan split, and it's as awkward as their entire relationship. Robby breaks up with Shushanna by saying, "If I'm in Utah, we can grab dinner or something."
