Bachelor in Paradise Season 8 aired a brand new episode on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at 8 pm ET on ABC. The two-hour episode marked the end of the Split Week twist. After staying away from their original connections for a week, the ladies returned to the beach once again. However, as host Jesse Palmer said, they were entering a very different beach than the one they had left behind.

On this week's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Logan broke up with Shanae after forming a connection with Kate. The latter, however, felt that she had "triumphed" over Shanae. This attitude didn't sit well with fans. One of them tweeted:

The Split Week twist saw the original couples on the show put their relationship to the test. The ladies were asked to spend a week at a different location, while new women entered the beach to potentially explore a connection with the men. Later on, the ladies were introduced to new men, leading to shaken dynamics and relationships being in jeopardy. Who will pass the test? Only time will tell.


Logan breaks up with Shanae on Bachelor in Paradise

On tonight's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, host Jesse Palmer announced that the ladies were going to get back to the beach.

Ahead of doing the same, they were extremely nervous about having to see their connections forming other relationships during the time they were separated. While Genevieve reunited with Aaron, all of Shanae's fears came true when she realized that Logan had formed another connection.

Logan revealed that although he thought about Shanae a lot, he found someone who made him feel seen and heard. He also blamed Shanae for not being loyal to him in the beginning and "juggling two men" with him and James. She, however, felt that they were not the same stories and that he wasn't loyal to her.

Shanae was left with no words after her conversation with Logan and walked away. She then vented her frustration to Genevieve, who advised her to talk to Logan properly and say what was on her mind.

When Shanae went up to Logan and shared what was on her mind, she said that she was furious at him for building a connection with Kate. The star also added that although she was previously juggling between him and James, she made sure to hide one from the other to ensure each of the men are respected. She then alleged that Logan never made his feelings clear. The latter confessed that he did, but she never heard him out.

Meanwhile, Kate was also seen feeling bitter about the whole situation. She revealed that she had previously engaged in a heated argument with Shanae on the Women Tell All segment of Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor. This time, she wanted to talk to her and clear things out, but things just worsened.

The duo had another heated discussion on Bachelor in Paradise. While Shanae felt that it was unfair of Kate to pull Logan out of the conversation, Kate confessed that she could not be blamed for having a connection.

By the end of the conversation, Shanae walked away as she didn't want to talk anymore. Kate, however, confessed that although she saw something good in Shanae, she didn't believe that her fellow cast member had "turned over a new leaf," like what everyone said.


Fans dislike Kate's attitude on Bachelor in Paradise

Although Kate initially formed a connection with Jacob, she found a newfound romance with Logan. By the end of Logan and Shanae's breakup, Kate felt a "twisted satisfaction." In a confessional, she said:

"There is a twisted satisfaction in me feeling like I've kind of triumphed over Shanae. And definitely, there's, like, a little part of me, a little sadistic part, that relishes just a--just a--just a tiny bit. So yeah, I mean, it feels really good."

Fans were disappointed with Kate's attitude and took to social media to express their feelings. Check out what they have to say.
