'TOO MUCH JUNK'
Bachelor In Paradise fans slam show for close up Thomas Jacobs ‘CROTCH shot’ that aired ‘too long’ on Serena Pitt date
BACHELOR In Paradise fans have slammed the show for airing a close up “CROTCH shot” of Thomas Jacobs for “too long” during his date with Serena Pitt.
On tonight’s explosive episode of the ABC Summer spinoff, the villain from Katie Thurston’s season showed up unannounced and stirred up drama within minutes at the Mexican resort.

As soon as Thomas, 28, arrived on the beach, the women immediately began to gush how “hot” he is and how “willing” they were to date him despite warnings from the other suitors.
The newest contestant began questioning the ladies present before he asked to go on a date with Serena.
Despite her romance with fan-favorite Joe Amabile, Serena agreed to the one-on-one and the pair went on a fun waterfront adventure.
They jet-skid and even straddled a banana boat in the ocean when producers emphasized Thomas’ teeny-tiny pink shorts.
As Thomas was standing on one of their boats in salmon-colored tight briefs, a camera filmed a VERY closeup shot of his crotch area - which they left in the show for a lingering 10 seconds or more.
Fans were taken aback by the risqué camera work and begged to know why the show decided to leave that in the final edit.

Next to a frightened hamster clutching to a cross, one person wrote: "That extended crotch shot though.”
“We saw minutes, not seconds, if groin footage,” another said.

A third begged the question: “Why did they feel the need to zoom in on thomas's junk for 5 solid seconds?”
“Ok producers why did we have to see a crotch shot?” A fourth asked.
Another exclaimed: “NOT THE PRODUCERS AIRING THOMAS’ D FOR A FEW SECONDS TOO MANY!!!!”
“NOT THE CROTCH CAM OMG so uncomfortable,” a viewer tweeted.
'HE'S NOT HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS'
Thomas was the root of much of the drama from Katie's season of The Bachelorette as he proclaimed on the show he had thought about becoming the next Bachelor.
The men in the house immediately labeled him as joining for the "wrong reasons" and Katie furiously sent him home.
Because of this, many of the men in Paradise are hesitant to trust Thomas and made that known to Serena before their date.

Though they seemed to have physical chemistry on their one-on-one, Serena let him know it was best if he "saw other people."
She then went back to the resort to pick things up where she left off with Grocery Store Joe.
