The Bachelor Watch: Nick Viall Goes Home

No really, I have! I… They invite her to join them for coffee and she gives Danielle some insight into Nick (there may not be much to give).

Nick tells Danielle L. that he thinks she is “nice” and “put together” in a way that makes it seem like he doesn’t think those are positive traits. They went back and forth, Corinne telling Taylor to stop treating her like an idiot and Taylor telling Corinne she lacks emotional intelligence, until Corinne “literally [couldn’t] even” and was ready to “literally punch her in the face”, leaving us wondering until next week whether Taylor is going to suddenly need a nose job. While spoilers for the season say that Olympios makes it quite far, Reality Steve said she will not be the victor.

Nick struggles to milk a cow, so Jaimi shows everyone how it’s done because, remember? (They rapped. See below.) His album “Girl Problems” includes the singles “Fix” and “For Her.” Then everyone is tasked with shoveling poop. One issue that Nolan deals with is a feud with one of the other cast members – Corinne Olympios. “If I did anything, come to me”. When she caught him in the act, she said she beat her ex with that other girl’s stiletto. She said she learned from the experience that she needs to be with someone who values her. Feeling neglected by Nick, Corinne chose to steal some one-on-one time, but to her dismay, it ended without a kiss. For once, I actually agree with her. “I love the taste of victory”, Corinne says in a post-ceremony interview, taking a mock bite out of her rose and another step closer to her destiny of becoming a living, breathing human GIF. However, for the first one-on-one this week, Nick asks Danielle L. out in front of the entire group of women. We first met Bella, Nick’s sister, on his hometown date a few years ago. She meets the parents. Did someone say “impending two-on-one date?” He recently defended her and her controversial moves, “But Corinne is bold, sexy and unique”. Raven grabs the keys and drives to confront him. The next detail is so good: “My head turned around like the exorcist”, Raven says. Vanessa gives him a scrapbook her students made and they make out.

That Rose Ceremony – Apparently, Christen’s goal on the show this season was Liz telling her that (in case you didn’t know) she had sex with Nick Viall at Jade and Tanner’s wedding.

So far all the episodes have been about Corinne’s antics, it won’t be fair to not talk about her at all right? It’s really riveting stuff. And maybe it’s Taylor who is more of a villain – sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong and becoming overly obsessed with a fellow contestant instead of staying in her own lane. A lot of the women this year, it’s not just Corinne, are basing their worth on sexuality.

Corinne apologized for sleeping, explained the bouncy castle stunt was just having fun after “a very stressful week” and vowed that she would “step through s–” for Nick, except that she didn’t at the farm because the loss of circulation in her fingers was so serious she nearly had to go to hospital for it, which I think we can all agree is an “alternative fact”.
