Despite a strong connection with Logan Palmer, Kate Gallivan decide to go on a date with newbie Hayden Markowitz on the November 1 episode of Bachelor in Paradise. Hayden arrived on the beach after the third rose ceremony and pulled some of the girls aside to chat. When he asked Kate to talk, Logan wasn’t worried because he was “full of confidence” in the relationship he had built with her.

Kate explained her situation to Hayden, but also encouraged him to “shoot [his] shot”, even if it meant that some feelings might be hurt or another relationship tested. She told him to be “fat” like she was when she first came on the show. “After talking to Hayden, I don’t feel overwhelmed with sparks, and there were some mixed reviews at the bonfire when he arrived,” Kate explained. “But if Hayden asks me on a date, there’s a part of me that wants to say yes to see how Logan reacts. What I’m really looking for is for him to step up and be honest about how he feels about me because sometimes he’s a little hard to read.”

Hayden DID ask Kate out, and she accepted. However, she then spoke to Logan one-on-one and admittedly hoped that he would ask her not to go. Logan, however, was on a different page. “I know we’re at very different places in our journey,” he told Kate. “You just came here, you were on one date. You deserve to have the full experience of exploring what it’s like to be in Paradise. You deserve it all. I had it and you didn’t, so I want you to have it.”

Kate was amazed that Logan didn’t fight harder for her. “I feel he is not fighting for me at all. In fact, I feel like he’s completely asleep at the wheel and it really throws me off,” she said in a confessional. “I think every girl wants a guy who will fight for her and say, ‘Absolutely not. I want you and I will do whatever it takes to keep you.’ But he said, ‘I think you have to make that decision for yourself.’ So it wasn’t ‘No, please don’t go.’ It’s almost like he failed the test, which is very disappointing.” It appeared to be a case of miscommunication for the two, as Logan said in his own confessional: “What I wanted her to say was, ‘No thanks, I’m fine, I got my man right here.’ That’s what every guy wants to hear. I fell short. A selfish part of me would have liked to choose without being put to the test.”

The next date, Kate and Hayden went on an adventurous zip-lining date. Kate went into the date “excited” and “open-minded” about everything, but quickly worried about how scared Hayden seemed to be about the outing. “I definitely don’t feel turned on by the scared energy of him,” Kate admitted. “I’m not sure we’re a solid match.”

Afterwards, Kate and Hayden got a chance to talk. The night before, Hayden’s behavior continued The Bachelorette was raised as a red flag in the midst of some of the other contestants up BIP. He was eliminated Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia’s season after he called Gabby “rough around the edges” and compared the women to his ex. However, Kate wanted to hear Hayden’s side of the story before making any decisions about him.

First, Hayden opened up to Kate about his golden retriever, Rambo, who is battling cancer. Hayden revealed that he spent six figures on medical bills so that Rambo could live another year or two. Kate was upset to hear this and worried that Hayden’s priorities were “a bit wrong”. Then he told her about his time The Bachelorette, and she was shocked when he admitted that he “probably” said his ex was “hotter” than Gabby and Rachel. “I just can’t remember,” he said.

“My eyes were opened,” Kate admitted. “I really saw the other side. I may have made a critical mistake on this date with Hayden. I think I just got a really solid taste of why the reviews were so mixed. I’m ready to get the hell out of dodge. If anything, it put into perspective how good I had it with Logan.”
