The way he handled this conversation makes me want Andrew for bachelor. Make it happen bachelor nation!

[@gj1695]

Yesss! Andrew is a total gem. 🌹

[@veronicafoley7492]

They should have picked him already Bachelor Nation be fools😱😱😱Andrew is fine kind, sexy and communicative-the whole package❤❤❤

[@Nekole1]

It will never happen. It would be too much controversy. But it would be interesting to see.

[@gj1695]

@@veronicafoley7492 Fine, kind, sexy and communicative -- spot on! That he is. Andrew is gonna make some VERY lucky lady blissfully happy. Oh and that smile of his... 🥰

[@ejstanley]

My two cents Andrew stayed at the beach and find someone else who came later on the show and that they will fall for eachother, and she's white, just like Katie 😁

[@XOPaulineJo]

Andrew is such a quality guy. Like he's attractive but he's not a douche bag. He handled Katie breaking up with him well, too. I hope he finds his future wife he really deserves it

[@legendaryTMNICO]

Andrew looks like the NBA player Giannis who plays for the bucks.

[@gj1695]

Andrew continues to prove that he is a total gem and a sweetheart. He handled being dumped by Teddy with calm, composure, vulnerability and class. Andrew for Bachelor. 🌹 Scratch that Zach guy, producers! It's not too late to pull out -- à la Fantasy Suites... 😜

[@anonymousanonymous-qx7mv]

People like you are why leads struggle with mental health issues. Zack is just fine. A serious mature guy.

[@gj1695]

@@anonymousanonymous-qx7mv Zach seems a great guy. Not to mention, handsome. "Scratch that Zach guy, producers," was very clearly tongue-in-cheek. Hence the 😜. My goodness, way to assume a positive comment about Andrew was a negative to Zach. I work in casting. Some leads have more charisma -- and *backstory* -- than others. That doesn't mean the others are inferior as individuals.

Andrew is my favorite, for sure! What a sweetheart of a man, and so genuine.

So proud of Andrew! He’s a good man! Trust me, Teddi gonna look back at some point…..and wonder! 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@mermaidgoat9351]

Andrew is a gem.

[@KWatsonMUSIC]

When I was younger (in my 20s) I would have done the same as Teddi. Now (in my 30s) I recognise what's really important and I would hold onto a good guy if I found one!

[@milenayashkina8641]

You can't force attraction, it's that simple.

[@yume816]

Sexual attraction can be fleeing versus a deeper attraction for the mind, heart, accomplishments etc that can take time to manifest

[@highnessproductions4177]

In my 20s , a lot of what I thought I wanted changed so much when I got to my 30s …I feel bad for both of them but know that it’s just a rite of passage to figuring it out for themselves…

[@678tanesha]

Sorry takes more than a good guy to make a relationship work. I use to feel this way to, but in the long run it can cause lots of problems. I think maybe Teddi needs to work on herself a few more years and then find a relationship. Both seem very precious either way and like they are empaths.

[@tanyah6184]

I thought she said she was really attracted to him, I’m confused

[@margotpino8730]

He has the most adorable looks !

[@shwetabanerjee1370]

Andrew, Brandon, Michael and Rodney are my favourites from the show. It brks my heart seeing Andrew go through this. He deserves so much more

[@gj1695]

Same! 🌹🌹🌹🌹 Agree. 💔

[@KA-eu9sy]

Brandon is my favourite. Just love him and Serene!

[@sbusisiweshaba1715]

Why is Ashley I there? Andrew handled this like a boss 👍 Teddi seemed like she wasn't sure at the end and expected him to be upset and was surprised he was cool and composed.

[@rakshashanbhag2723]

She just didn't want to be in the environment. They're great together and they could have probably given the relationship an honest shot outside paradise. She just didn't feel herself there. Poor Teddi

[@shellyannlewis2595]

I think Teddy makes a big Mistake.

[@AbbyMoneyhun]

I wonder what she’s feeling now after watching episode 14 … knowing his heart is still with her. Love is such a bizarre emotion. It’s so rare to have 2 people feel the same exact depth of feeling.

[@captainj1336]

Such a bummer. Two nice people that only came on the show to meet each other and it didn't work out. If Andrew is still single next year, I would love to see him as the next Bachelor 2024.

[@shepb2017]

Why in the 🌎 would she ask him "Are you upset?" DUH! Was she searching for validation or a compliment? Not trying to bash Teddi, it just seemed like a silly question considering the way he was acting and responding to her. Did she want him to start bawling or throw a tantrum?? Just sayin..... He's a sweetheart and I know he'll find his person, he's too adorable and won't be single for long. 🥰

[@kenziej4301]

I’m not into you and blah blah blah are you upset?! 🥹

[@kparker905]

I think they’ve probably dm-ed outside of this and that’s why her reaction seems so dramatic. Because even though it’s Week 2 for us, they’ve probably been “talking” on and off for months

[@BlueSkyFan77]

Breaking news the producers made Teddi do this see the producers told Teddi she had to date Andrew and Andrew only she got tired of being manipulated by The Producers.

[@LuigiTheItalian]

I didnt see the spark either. They seem more like friends than a couple.

[@kadeencayenne1663]

If she don’t want him 😢 I’ll HAVE HIM 😍😩😩😩

[@stacyvang2760]

If they want to redeem the bachelor, they would make this guy the next bachelor!!! He’s giving Sean vibes. 😊

[@brittneypine6628]

She should’ve given them more time since she was crying so hard. I honestly think she was bored during their conversations plus she’s not super attracted to him.

[@kparker905]

They seem too similar in my opinion. I feel like at the beginning there should be an INTENSE spark, or insane friendship chemistry that could change into romantic stuff. But they’re just ‘meh’ when they interact with each other

[@kenziej4301]

They’re relationship was so boring they got zero screen time but atleast she went out guns blazing! POW pow 💥

I think she'll be back. I think it's just part of the storyline right now.

[@larrymarshall8900]

Yeah she have said goodbye to everyone but she didn't want to make a scene.

[@daniellesanders9677]

Tedi so dramatic. Tell this man you don’t like him and move on

[@kenziej4301]

Guuuuurl IKR?! Grab your stuff/ be gentle in your approach and tell him I only see you as a friend and this isn’t the environment for me, but noooooooosss She had to wait til the sun set to create a mood and be all mellow dramatic 😪

[@stephanys8]

Andrew as the next ✨Bachelor✨

[@LuigiTheItalian]

All the 26, 27 year old guys looks older than their age. Andrew is 27 but he looks 18 years old. I think he's mostly viewed as the fun, happy little brother of Teddi. And I think these ladies are looking for a MAN to marry. Andrew just seems not mature enough for what these girls are looking for. I still think he's great though,

[@kaylie7808]

Honestly. How do people get this emotionally invested in what? 3 days?

[@davidlapekes1021]

Tedi will always be my teddy bear she was so awesome and sweet wish her the best of luck in finding love

[@kparker905]

Teddi looks SO young to me! She could pass for 17, or even younger and I imagine her as an actress in a Nerflix teen show. I don’t know if it makes sense for people this young to even BE on Bachelor in Paradise. She should be out in the world experiencing her first job and hooking up with successful men every few months until she finds one that she likes

[@Nekole1]

I agree, she looks younger than her age.

[@michaelacaleb7919]

25 isn’t THAT young. It’s better then them having 22 year olds on the beach.

[@DC-sh7ud]

@K Parker Teddi is a 25 year old grown woman! She’s old enough to make her own decisions. This was such a back handed compliment and body shaming smh

[@kparker905]

@D C Teddi is older than me, lol. We just have different opinions. Where was the body shaming? I personally just liked this show with the Kaitlyn Bristowe’s and Rachel Lindsay’s (29+) because it felt like outcomes were real, and people had already explored in the real world AFTER college so they were less likely easily manipulated because they’d already had more life experience

[@oromtitiwbo5078]

hooking up randomly is not healthy i am glad Teddi is waiting for her soul mate.

[@jacobmartinez5461]

The problem is people get attached too easily day 1 when they know more people are coming to the island. They shouldn't do that

[@sucram1018]

Well that's the format of the show unfortunately. People don't have time to really get to know someone so people rush things to not get sent home.

[@AbigaillOwusu]

I don’t think she’s attracted to him tbh

[@Nekole1]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@justforjacob]

I’m Praying For Them 💯👀🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤🙏🏾🙏🏾🤔

[@taowang6056]

You can’t change what you’re attracted to. This was probably just her way of saying she might be pursuing other relationships on the beach where, when she interacts with the person, she doesn’t have to force it so much

I feel like Andrew didnt really show any emotion he even said after she that he knew it didnt fit but he wanted it to...they both went there for each other but seems like he wasn't that into her like producers wanted them to make it work you can tell she really did like him but he seem not that interested...

[@ambermunoz7989]

It shouldn't feel forced you can tell she really was trying but Andrew seemed more closed off he probably saw her and realized it's more like friendly relationship

[@fakeaccount704]

This environment was not right for Teddi. She can’t get herself to hurt people for her own benefit. I think she had been talking to Andrew prior to the show, and they came for each other. She wasn’t feeling it with him like she thought she would, and instead started liking Rodney. It wasn’t in her personality to hurt Andrew and start dating Rodney in front of his face, so she just packed her bags and left. What I find odd though is that she said she came for Andrew, but told Rodney she was waiting for him to show up. I honestly think she was just confused on what to do because she didn’t develop the feelings she thought she would for Andrew

[@shellyannlewis2595]

I hope that she fine the right one.

Maybe Teddy liked the Andrew better on the Bachelorette than on BOP. When your on the beach with no storyline and just lounging things seem to be less glamorous.

[@thatgirl9532]

Teddi shouldn’t have left I understand she felt so bad but she should given it an extra day to clear her mind figure it out before leaving. I feel bad for Andrew though I really saw him and Teddi together but I guess not hope a new girl makes him feel special again

[@kenziej4301]

Chile do it for the drama! Do it for the moment! Do it for the screen time! 🤗 ✨

[@thatgirl9532]

@King J I wouldn’t call her immature but just she probably felt overwhelmed and a range of other emotions I think she doesn’t want to disappoint anyone and that’s what she did and she felt really guilty. Calling someone immature because they felt extremely bad is a bit of stretch But I do agree she should have spoken to Andrew, Rodney and the girls first before making that decision to leave

[@DC-sh7ud]

@King J Her age is 25, that’s the age of an adult. Plus we never know what went on behind the scenes! Give her some slack!
