After Episode 8 of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, a lot had changed on the beach, and not just in the rose ceremony results. Several couples who were still working on their connections faced big decisions, eliminations, and real-world uncertainty. As the finale approached, viewers were left wondering which relationships might actually survive beyond Paradise. Here’s a look at where the key pairs stood at that point and how some of them have fared since.
Spencer Conley & Jess Edwards
Spencer and Jess emerged from Episode 8 as one of the strongest connections in Paradise. By the time Season 10 wrapped, they had not only won the competition but also confirmed they were still together after leaving the beach. They met each other’s families and announced plans to live in the same city, with Jess planning a move to Dallas, a classic sign that their connection was serious beyond the villa.
Alexe Godin & Andrew Spencer
Alexe and Andrew became another fan-favorite couple during Episode 8. Their bond continued to grow as the season moved on, and by the finale they also remained together off camera. They even used the money they won on the show to pay off Alexe’s debt, illustrating that they were making practical, real-world commitments rather than just playing for TV.
Dale Moss & Kat Izzo
Dale and Kat weren’t in danger of going home in Episode 8, but their arc was defined by emotion and uncertainty — and their chemistry wasn’t yet necessarily a done deal. That said, by the end of Season 10 they left Paradise as a couple and continued to explore their relationship outside the show. They even talked about future plans together, including traveling and potentially living closer, suggesting they were serious after filming.
Jeremy Simon & Bailey Taylor Brown
Another notable pairing by Episode 8 was Jeremy and Bailey. They had made it deep into the season, and while they did not come out as winners, recaps from the finale indicated the couple was together when they left the beach. Their connection had stood up to the challenge of the rose ceremonies and the group elimination votes by that point in the season.
Brian Autz & Parisa Shifteh
Brian and Parisa were eliminated together around the Episode 8 rose ceremony, and on the show they appeared committed. But their relationship didn’t last long after Paradise. Observers noted their social media activity suggests a breakup, they don’t follow each other, and Parisa has hinted at seeing someone new, meaning this pairing was likely over post-show despite how things looked on screen.
Sean McLaughlin & Allyshia Gupta
Episode 8 also included the fallout from Sean’s strategy and rose ceremony confusion. Ultimately, this dynamic didn’t translate into a strong romantic connection, and both were voted off the show together. Based on recaps, they did not remain a couple after leaving Paradise.
What This Means as the Season Closed?
By Episode 8 of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, a handful of real connections had emerged, but only a few carried forward into real life. Spencer & Jess, Alexe & Andrew, and Dale & Kat survived the beach and appeared to continue their relationships off camera, suggesting they had the strongest potential for longevity. Couples like Brian & Parisa and Sean & Allyshia, on the other hand, fizzled out once the cameras stopped rolling.
As always, Paradise couples face the same pressures most real-world relationships do, distance, real-life logistics, and the shift from a curated environment to day-to-day life, so even connections that seem solid at the finale aren’t guaranteed long-term success. But heading into the Season 10 finale, those three pairings stood out as the most promising for Bachelor Nation fans to follow beyond the beach.
