“I definitely was like, ‘Uh oh,’” Natasha—who’d been vibing with Brendan up to that point—said through tears about Demi and Brendan’s sudden courtship with Demi. “Whatever is gonna happen will happen, and you’ve just gotta be you and trust him.” Luckily for Natasha, Brendan informed Demi that he wanted to keep his options open—and lucky for us, that meant tons of hilarious memes about Demi!
Bachelor in Paradise Demi and Brendan
Demi was upset after learning that Brendan had spent time with another member of Bachelor Nation outside of Paradise—ahem, Pieper James. “Why would he go on a date with me if he’s so obsessed with Pieper? Like, I’m not gonna be a second choice,” she declared. Speaking with Brendan on the beach, Demi told him, “If you have your mind on someone else, like don’t waste other people’s time like that. Like, you’re teasing me.” While Brendan stressed that he was not currently in a relationship with anyone, Demi pointed out, “Yeah, but I feel like you’re waiting for her.”

In a separate conversation with Natasha, Brendan admitted that he had a lot of fun with Demi, but, “Did she set my soul on fire? No.” Brendan also set the record straight that he and Pieper did not have “labels on anything.”

With three women on the chopping block during the first rose ceremony, Demi set her sights on James. “Are we gonna have sex?” she quipped, before adding, “I’m totally kidding.” Ahead of the ceremony Demi said, “I will literally light this place on fire if Kelsey stays over me.” Thankfully the episode didn’t end with Demi going scorched earth, since she ended up receiving James’ rose!
