As Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant’s romance develops on Bachelor In Paradise, fans’ minds are being cast back to her previous experience on the show with Rodney Mathews. The BIP stars formed a connection last year on season 8 but they went their separate ways in Week 5.
Now, Eliza appears to have found love with Aaron B – although it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. When former Bachelorette Charity Lawson arrived at the beach, she had some information to share regarding Aaron’s ex-girlfriend.
Rodney on Bachelor In Paradise season 8
Bachelor In Paradise season 8 saw Rodney and Eliza go through some ups and downs.
During last year’s show, the then 26-year-old wiped away tears telling Rodney she thought she’d made the wrong decision in picking him.
The moment was super sad as Rodney had talked about wanting Eliza to be his “future wife.”
Viewers of the show picked up on another moment between the pair when Eliza didn’t want Rodney to be cool with her to go on other dates.
She said that she wanted someone “direct and forward” who showed her that they want her.
Fans call Eliza out
Rodney isn’t a contestant on BIP season. But, fans are reflecting on his time last year with Eliza now that her relationship with Aaron is playing out.
Eliza wanted Rodney to make it clear that he wanted to be with her.
But, fans of the show’s current season are criticizing her for “not liking” Aaron now saying the same thing.
One fan tweeted on X (Twitter): “I thought Eliza would like Aaron B saying he didn’t want her to go on a date (like what she said to Rodney)”.
Another wrote: “Aaron literallllly did what Eliza wanted Rodney to do last season by telling her that he didn’t want her to go on the date AND SHE STILL DECIDED TO GO ON ANOTHER DATE.”
However, some ABC viewers jumped to Eliza’s defense, writing: “Well considering Rodney & Aaron r two different ppl & there connections were in two different places… is Eliza the only one not allowed to go on dates? Like does she not get autonomy?”
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD…
Bachelor In Paradise engagement
Although Aaron B and Eliza had some tumultuous times in season 9, they reportedly leave the show as a couple.
On November 2, Reality Steve shared some Bachelor In Paradise spoilers. He revealed that Katt Izzo and John Henry Spurlock and Eliza and Aaron are the two couples who leave the show engaged.
Eliza’s old flame, Rodney, also appears to be loved up these days. He takes to Instagram with his partner frequently and captioned a post from September: “Quick life update: happiest I’ve ever been.”
