We couldn't not say anything about Dr. Pepper's statement on casting Chris.

Unfortunately, this season so far has become the Chris and Paige show and Chris seems capable enough to have enough drama for 5 seasons, so it continued in this episode. He drops a bomb on Paige in what we thought was the cruelest way ever. Poor Paige continues to have a tough time but is still deciding to stick it through with him - for now. The other couples continue to grow in their relationshi...
