Laurina throws spectacularly glamorous tantrum while wearing gold under-eye facial masks

IN A dramatic moment of unscripted TV, Bachelor in Paradise star Laurina threw a spectacular tantrum.

Bachelor in Paradise Ep 7 Recap: The Ghost of Paradise

UNTIL you’ve thrown a mid-facial tantrum while wearing gold under-eye cleansing masks, you haven’t really lived.

Laurina shows us how it’s done on Tuesday night’s episode of Bachelor In Paradise when she’s awarded a date card.

Most contestants would be thrilled to be given the date card. It means producers have gifted them the power to choose alone time with anyone they like. But Laurina’s annoyed.

Several reasons contribute to her irritation. One: She’s mid-facial.

Icon.
Icon.

Another contributing factor to the tantrum is the date card came with rules. Laurina’s told she has 10 minutes to get dressed, choose a fella and set off on a romantic evening.

It’s like producers don’t even care she has just applied expensive-looking gold under-eye masks.

Also, it’s, like, 8 o’clock at night. Who leaves their house at 8pm?

“Nah. I’m not going,” Laurina sighs. “I’m ready for bed.”

Understandable.
Understandable.

She tosses the card in Megan’s face and reclines back on a pool lilo. And as all the other contestants try to force her to go, she rails against them.

“I’m not going in 10 minutes! I still have to have a shower! I can’t get ready in 10 minutes,” she howls.

It’s hard to be stroppy without looking like an idiot while wearing gold under-eye facial masks. But Laurina does her best.

She looks across the gardens. “Where’s production? Who do I talk to about this?”

I make a mental note to say this next time something happens in my office that I don’t like.

Over the tiki bar, Laurina blasts an innocent producer for the 10 minute time restriction. But they aren’t budging.

“Literally in 10 minutes you have to go,” the producer tells Laurina who, at this point, is still wearing her gold under-eye masks.

She breaks down and cries as she runs back to her villa.

Simone — the Irish chick from Matty J’s series of The Bachelor who arrived on the island as an intruder today — tries to sympathise with Laurina but just ends up insulting her.

“She’s older, so she wants to go to bed,” she says in her innocent Irish lilt.

For the record, Laurina’s 34.

In her villa, Laurina sobs on her bed while an unknown producer comforts her.

“I don’t like anybody here!” she cries as her gold under-eye masks slip down her cheeks. “I don’t need a date!”

The glint of the gold under-eye mask shimmers in the CCTV footage.

The mid-facial tantrum is perhaps the most compelling moment to come out of this snoozefest of a series. Honestly, this show should just be two months of Laurina being put in uncomfortable situations.

Nothing much else happens on Tuesday night. Elora — the chick who eats fire from Matty J’s series — swam to the island and washed up on the shores as an intruder.

She flirts with Megan — who’s openly bisexual — and tricks her into thinking they’re on a date. But then she admits she’s actually into Jake and just wants a second opinion from a gal pal.

Megan’s immediately crushed and heartbroken and definitely needs to kick back with a gold under-eye mask.

Sorry hon.
Sorry hon.
