Will Paulie Really 'Claim' His Ex On The Beach Lexi?

Thanks to Chris, Paulie may have some big competition as soon as it comes to his ex Lexi. That is, if the DJ can even remember her name:


During this week's Ex on the Beach installment, the Big Brother vet got angry as soon as his former girlfriend (who crashed the beach last episode) started taking an interest in Chris. Especially since former couple Paulie and Lexi had "reconnected" -- and survived the stressful Shack of Secrets. The point of contention: Lexi chatting with Chris and bonding over their shared love of Xbox.


"I'm going to bed alone tonight," Paulie told Lexi immediately after she returned. "You had me do the runaround for thirty minutes to a hour, c'mon now."


An incredulous Lexi explained that Chris was the one who initiated the conversation, nevertheless Paulie demanded that she be "respectful."


"I don't give you the runaround," he stated. "I'm talking about the fact that you mentioned, 'Let's go to bed,' and then I have to stay up -- and two hours later?" (The time frame jumped from 1/2 hour to two hours...But that's beside the point).


From there, Paulie barked that Lexi was leading Chris on and playing with Chris' heart. Lexi, meanwhile, mentioned that she didn't wish to argue with Paulie and that if he fancied her, he required to "claim" her.


"Just let me f**king know where you stand," she forcefully stated.


And he did: At the Cut or Crush Ceremony, he gave Lexi a "crush" vote (aka keeping her safe).


Is love back airborne for Paulie and Lexi? And will he "claim" her, like she requested he do? Don't miss Ex on the Beach on Thursday to be able to see where their relationship goes -- or doesn't go.
