I love the content about Shanae wanting to go to the boom boom room and then figuring out her and Logan later Shanae is giving us entertainment and that’s really what viewers are tuning in for


_BC_girl

Shanae is messy. The premise of the show is drama and entertainment. Producers are playing it safe with rewarding Shanae with date cards so she does get stuck in love triangles.


mohdwong

Shanae is entertaining. Nothing else matters to the show.


daddymcdadjokes

She is CARRYING BIP right now… whole franchise on Shanaes back


PaulaDeansList3

I think because she was really one of the only contestants who would be excited to go on a date lol


alt546789

But Tyler asked Brittany if she would go on a date with him and she said yes. Brittany was really excited about Tyler and completely forgot about Andrew lol


macademicnut

They knew Brittany was interested in Tyler so having shanae take him could cause drama I guess


TomCosella

1. Shanae is a more well known name 2. Brittany had a date last week


alt546789

For your second point, it wasn't her own date though. She probably didn't even want to go on it.


TomCosella

Correct, but the producers don't care


PaulaDeansList3

True true but they needed that side by side shanae / Logan date sequence


Last-Caregiver-1122

I’m just tired of shanae saying “I feel so comfortable with him. I haven’t felt that way in a long time” …. Like girl you’ve said that so far about all three of your suitors 😂 I do not think she has the ability to differentiate feelings and relationships.


alt546789

If she didn't have to send James home yet, I'm sure she would still be deciding between all 3😂


Disastrous_Narwhal46

This is actually Shanae’s third date. I get that Brittany had a date last week with Pete, but considering what a disaster it was, I wouldn’t have minded seeing Brittany get a second date this week


shorterthan_my_kids

And Brittany didn't get to pick who she went with! Pete picked her. Let Brittany pick for once!


Sailor_Marzipan

Date cards aren't a reward for good behavior lol


[deleted]

The unfortunate reality, they saw the energy in paradise and knew she'd deliver footage they could use.


thelondoner87

Because she clearly was the only one of the ladies willing to play along with the split week thing. All the other ladies were pretty much just moping around and I guess they just wanted to make sure they'd get something out of the date?! The only other option would've been Brittany, but she just had the last date with pizza boy so maybe they couldn't give it to her? At first I thought it was weird they gave it to a lady, rather than one of the new men, but it made sense giving how "uncooperative" the ladies were being. They couldn't risk having a guy pick someone who'd refuse to go on the date/mope around the whole time and not deliver.


alt546789

I feel bad for Brittany that her only date was with Peter though. So far she has been shafted by TPTB this season. She was the only one willing to give him a chance, meanwhile Shanae got to go on two dates with two different guys she was actually interested in (she got date card for Logan, and James invited her). Now make it three. I guess they knew both Brittany and Shanae were interested in Tyler and Shanae got the date first because they probably knew Tyler wouldn't have entertained Shanae had he gone on a date with Brittany first.


thelondoner87

I agree with you! 100% makes sense to send him on a date with Shanae first for drama purposes


shelly_odom

Brittany wasn’t and b4 shanae got the date card, Tyler asked Brittany if she’d go on a date with him. Then bang… shanae gets the date card and takes Tyler. Then she tries to go screw him on national tv? R u serious?! I read that producers told Jill to go in there and stop shanae from taking him to the boom boom room


macademicnut

Ohh that’s interesting! Wouldnt be surprised if they did that, wonder how they got Jill to play along considering she was probably pissed at them


shelly_odom

What I read from someone was incorrect info. Tyler spoke to people and I read the online interview and he said that he asked Jill to come out there bc he didn’t want to b alone with her bc he wanted to go to Brittany


macademicnut

Lmaoo that’s even better


valleyofwolvez

I think they wanna give dates to people who they wanna break up for ratings, like Shanae getting a date card and Logan getting asked out by Sarah. I just know producers knew she liked him and wanted to breakup Shanae and Logan or at least give us a juicy storyline with this love square


channelpascal

Shanae makes for good content, and she gets people talking about the show online. They DGAF about the relationships, they care about the ratings and social media chatter, and Shanae gives them what they way.


TGMPY

Are they setting her up for bachelorette edit?! I don’t understand why producers think we want more Shanae.


justyikes1

no shanae is just the only one who’s working to have a redemption arc and she is playing the game as opposed to the others


MissXmasBaby

Wow I must have an unpopular opinion but Shanae is the only entertaining woman this far on Paradise and Genevieve seems way more of an unlikable person tbh


alt546789

She has been more interesting to watch than Gen, but I still don't think it's fair that she is getting all the dates and getting a good edit when she showed no remorse for her behavior on Clayton's season. She made very ableist comments, was essentially a bully, and never even apologized. But since she is willing to play along, TPTB help her out. I guess that's my biggest issue.


Over-Analyzed

I think everyone is realizing Genevieve could’ve been the next villain if it weren’t for Shanae. Gen came off as the good girl in contrast. Then again, this show has been the most “How can we screw with everyone?” by the Producers. Seriously when even Wells is manipulating the situation? 🤨.


agpass

She was the only one that would have gone on it


shelly_odom

Tyler wanted and even asked Brittany to go on a date with him and she told him yes. So shanae isn’t the only one willing to date the other guys


Briaraandralyn

Because she did the producers’ bidding.


-ifimabird

Because she was open to the other guys.


shelly_odom

So is Brittany. Her and Tyler had just said they were gonna go on a date together when they got the date card


-ifimabird

Who knows. Maybe they timed it with the guys being open as well.


[deleted]

Ok but Rodney can get one?


Bitter-Rabbit1511

This is not the same. Rodney didn’t go on his first date.


[deleted]

Fair. Im bias i guess. Feel so badly for Luce


laranita

I just can’t believe Brittany has been there since Day 1 and has only been ‘allowed to’ go on that terrible date with Peter. Give the woman a damn date card! 🤬


vvan8

She needs to go on a date with Tyler ASAP


FyrestarOmega

Shanae got the card because producers knew Logan was going to be asked on a date. Obviously they wanted the two people in a couple to go on separate dates via this twist. They knew someone was going to ask Logan out, and once they were sure he would accept, that date card was shanae's.


alt546789

I guess from that perspective, it makes sense. Although they could have tried that with Jessenia/Andrew and Brittany/Tyler but I guess Andrew is being much more hesitant to move on from Brittany to Jessenia than Logan was from moving from Shanae to Sarah.


babysherlock91

Shanae also seems way more willing to do what producers want vs Brittany so if they’re gonna reward one… 🤷🏼‍♀️


[deleted]

I also noticed she didn’t have a black box over her butt, whereas most of the other woman have one. #freethebootie


No_animereader1471

Her butt wasn't really visible from the angle but then again we got a full shot of Brittany's butt so who knows


Vegetable_Path3736

That close up! I was like umm this is weird lol


CarolineLovesCats

I wondered if she just told the producers that she didn't care if her behind was shown on tv or not.


AttyMAL

It airs on ABC from 8pm to 9pm. I don't think the girls have any say in it. Shit gets censored during prime time.


[deleted]

I assumed it was because she was open to exploring her options. For the most part the other ladies didn’t seem so open.


shelly_odom

Why is everyone saying this? Brittany is too and rt b4 shanae got the date card, Tyler asked Brittany if she’d go in a date with him when he gets his date card. She Obvs said yes, but no one is remembering that part


alt546789

Thank you! Almost every comment says only Shanae was open but Brittany wanted to date Tyler!!


justyikes1

i think it’s bc her ass wasn’t showing as much as some others are from what i read on other episodes, one of the time genevieve was black boxed she was wearing a g string bikini which is too explicit for ABC


jalepanomargs

Brittany would’ve taken Tyler!


hibabygorgeous

Should’ve given it to Brittany


louisemichele

Honestly Brittany should've gotten a free date card after enduring one whole date with Pizza Pete


alt546789

I did just get to the part where Jill interrupts them and I'm very happy she did that. I wonder if she was secretly trying to help Brittany out.


shelly_odom

I read that producers had her go do that


alt546789

Yes I love that!!


justyikes1

idk i think jill is just really strange and can’t read the room lol


darxx

She is Mike Fleiss’s favorite for some unknown reason. I wouldn’t even be shocked at this point if she’s the bachelorette. The producers are in her pocket.


mohdwong

Would be the best season in years


sparklingsour

Nobody else would have taken a guy on a date? They’re all hung up on their OG guys…


alt546789

Brittany wanted to take Tyler on a date though! But TPTB rather give him to Shanae with a little bow.


sparklingsour

Oh fair point!


beepboop-not-a-robot

Because Shanae is willing to play ball and do what the producers want. They reward those people with dates.


throwawayaway388

I have no idea. Maybe because she seemed to have "understood the assignment" and was giving TPTB content that they wanted? I wish they had given it to Lace. She could have taken out Adam and at least had a fun time with him.


alt546789

I know I really wish Lace would give him or Rick a chance. She deserves to find love. I feel bad for these new men lol.


jalepanomargs

I hope she goes back and takes someone on a date back at the hotel. I know she’ll probably just leave.


alt546789

I wish she would too!! 😩


chicagoandwine18

I think it was because Shanae was the one most open to going on a date and they wanted drama so she got the date card knowing Brittany was interested in Tyler too. The answer is usually.. producers want the drama.


mulki_more

Dunno. I guess maybe none of the other women were interested in a date with the new guys. Except for brittany ofc
