Michael Allio Tells Sierra Jackson He Just Wants to Be Friends - Bachelor in Paradise

[@hailyng94]

Sierra is such a good person. She deserves everything.

So many excuses from Michael to the simple fact that he doesn't want to be with Sierra. She's only "coming on strong" because he doesn't want her. He would've been excited if he liked her.

He actually insinuated to it when he said "I don't want to use any body in order to find the one for me" when they first hit it off with each other.
