This week's show basically starts with Nick re-explaining the Liz thing to ALL the women at the cocktail party. At this point I dislike Nick more and more. I also dislike his skinny flower tie. I find the discussions with both Nick and the women and amongst the women themselves boring so just wake me up when that's over. Especially when he's holding hands with the woman while discussing having sex with someone else. Bizarre.
Oh Corinne, what you up to now you vixen? Yes we know, you're sexy. But what happens when the men you're dating want to get beyond the surface sexiness? And why are you here? Is it just for the competition? Have you mentioned the nanny to Nick yet? Good god Corinne. Stop it. Just...stop. Finally Nick is showing some self-awareness about how his attention toward Corinne because of her actions is affecting the other women. What was Corinne hoping for with her trench coat and whipped cream act? Was she hoping he'd have sex with her right there? And go back to the third question in this paragraph. The whole thing drained Corinne so she went to bed and won't be joining the rose ceremony.
Rose Ceremony: Who's the woman in the yellow dress? I'm glad Nick's seemingly annoyed with Corinne not showing up to the rose ceremony. And why are you apologizing for her? Blah blah blah rose ceremony. Yellow dress, Hailey (who appears to be wearing a bathrobe with a black lace bra underneath and not an actual dress), and Lacey are cut. Ladies, we hardly knew thee. Hailey, don't fret dear. Thankfully, the coming attractions are more promising because it's the Backstreet Boys!
Group Date: The Backstreet Boys are in the Bachelor house! I'd probably be freaking out too, although I'd probably be freaking out MORE if it was NKOTB. And then I feel old as I start to do the math and realize how young these women were when the Backstreet Boys were big and some weren't even born when NKOTB was around. Sigh. Let's progress, shall we? The ladies and Nick will be performing in front of 500 people tonight.
They rehearse, Corinne starts crying in the bathroom yet it seems like fake crying. I didn't understand anything she just said but I know he won't send her home.
Finally, it's time for the performance and everybody dances their hearts out. Jasmine seems to think she has this nailed. And the winner is...Danielle! So Danielle and Nick dance in front of everybody while the B Boy serenade them. Corinne continues to freak out because she's 24 and has been overly sheltered by house staff all her life. Perhaps her nanny could have taught her better coping skills? This is why it's good to make other friends because yes, Corinne, the premise of this show is bizarre and you'll drive yourself nuts if you isolate yourself.
The Corinne show continues. She. is. exhausting. And seems to be napping again. Is she really a snorer or are the producers just messing with her? If she's as much of a princess as she clearly is, I wouldn't be surprised if she's dismissive to the camera crew. I would be SOOO NICE to the camera crew. Not a crew member you want to be a jerk too. Nick finally gives some of the other women some attention.
Back at the mansion...the next date card arrives and Vanessa gets the next one-on-one date. Dominique is the most pissed.
Back at the group date...Corinne finally announces she has a nanny to the other women. Jasmine's the only one that would have a reaction similar to me in that she's the most vocal. Sadly Danielle and not Corinne gets the rose because I would have loved Jasmine slapping Nick. Insert Corinne freaking out. Sigh.
Vanessa's date: Nick gives a phony overview of how much he'll enjoy this date that much more with Vanessa. And misuses the word literally. You're not winning any points with me here, Nick. Literally. Vanessa is the trilingual Special Ed teacher who you want to hate just for that alone. She seems surprisingly normal but I'm sure dark secrets lie beneath the surface. Of course after Crazy Corinne, anybody seems normal and more self-confident.
I have to admit, this date looks pretty cool. I'm just waiting for her to get motion sick though. Do you get a warning when the plane goes back down? And...she gets sick. Poor thing. Nick, please, give her some space--maybe don't sit right in front of her. Finally he sits next to her. Like Vanessa, I can't believe he's still kissing her after she puked either. I don't think I could do the same--kiss Vanessa or anyone else for that matter. Aaron (my husband) included (sorry hon!).
Vanessa and Nick go to dinner so they can talk. So far this might be the best conversation that I've seen him have with any of these women. As long as he's not thinking with his penis, he's tolerable. He is a bit of a mumbler though. She's lying--who forgets about the rose?
Second Group Date: The ladies are ready to scratch each other's eyes out on this date. Carl Lewis is here! That's the only Olympian that Nick mentions but Allyson Felix and Michelle Carter are also there. They are also Olympians. And today's date is the Nick-o-lympics. I'm glad that Rachel's on this date because it seems like we haven't seem a lot of her. Astrid's basically falling out of her sports bra. And the winner of the first round is Rachel, Alexis, and Astrid. I was surprised by Alexis and Astrid's athleticism. The winner of the next round gets a jacuzzi date with Nick. It's a foot race where you have the grab the ring at the end. Rachel wins the actual race but knocks over the ring. Astrid grabs the ring and wins. Astrid runs over to the jacuzzi and begins making out with Nick.
At the night part of the group date, a lot of the focus is on Dominique. Rachel is one of the most self-confident women here and it's nice to see. But the more I see of Nick the more I think she can do better. Dominique is lurking while Rachel and Nick make out. Dominique finally confronts Nick. I might not have taken the same approach as Dominique did in speaking to him, but I appreciate her honesty. But not surprisingly, he sends her home. It's hard to tell if he really gave her a full chance. Yes! Rachel gets the rose. I would have thought Astrid would have been pissed but they didn't show that.
Vanessa's date: Nick gives a phony overview of how much he'll enjoy this date that much more with Vanessa. And misuses the word literally. You're not winning any points with me here, Nick. Literally.

The next day...Chris comes by to tell the women there won't be a cocktail party that night but there WILL be a pool party. The women get into their skimpiest bikinis. While the ladies take turns making out with Nick, Corinne is still getting ready and talking about how desperate the other women are. Not surprisingly, she has something planned up her sleeve again. Nick talks about how "fun" Corinne is. They are in the bouncy house and the other women all watch them mount each other. The other women are PISSED.
Raven tells Nick about Corinne's nanny. He has the same reaction as everybody else, as in, "huh?" How can you be 24 and have a nanny? I guess Corinne has gone back to bed. She clearly needs a lot of sleep. Clearly she exhausts herself. Anyway, the rest of the afternoon is spent with one woman after another either telling Nick that Corinne is lame or questioning Nick on what kind of woman he's looking for. Finally Vanessa corners him and tells him her opinion. I love how she said she's not judging Corinne, she's judging Nick. He's cornered and clearly has no idea what to say. I can't wait to see how he sweet talks his way out of this one.
The coming attractions for next week focus on the tensions between Corinne and the other women, particularly Taylor. But perhaps the best part is Josephine serenading Nick during the credits and watching his reaction to her terrible singing (okay it's no that terrible) and terrible song (the song is definitely terrible). It sends animals running, including a cat that may be at the house.
My thoughts: This season has been up and down for me so far and we're only three episodes in. It always takes a while to weed some of the women out. And course there's the Corinne factor. Please don't let the two of them go on a one-on-one because then Nick will have nowhere to run. But if Chris popped up in the house next week and said, "you know what? Nick's lame, you guys are kind of lame, we're going to cut this season short and go straight to Bachelor in Paradise", I'd be pretty psyched. Now THAT'S where I'd like to see Corinne, especially if Lacey showed up too! Not Lacey from this season, Lacey from Ben's season. Or Lace as I guess her friends call her?
