Week 6 - The Blood Bath
The Blood Bath
We start our episode with Taylor interrupting Corrine and
Nick’s dinner. And AGAIN, as happens with Every. Single. Cliffhanger… NOTHING
HAPPENS. Taylor talks to Nick about how Corrine is not right for him and he says
thanks, and sends her packing… again. Much to their surprise, the ladies will
not be participating in a cocktail party… Nick is ready to make his decision: Jaimi,
Josephine and Alexis are sent home.
I would like to hold a moment of silence for the loss of
Alexis. While she didn’t get a whole lot of episode time, but she has been a
TRUE GEM during the credits of virtually every episode since the beginning. My
three big Alexis highlights: 1) dressed as shark, insisted she was dolphin
(bless her heart) 2) while spending some alone time with Nick, she threw a
birthday party for her tatas. That’s right, it was the first anniversary of her
boob job… and she celebrated with a “Boobaversary” cake. Dear God and Bachelor
producers, PLEASE put her in Paradise. 3) She had an irrational fear of
Nicholas Cage. I mean, that’s crazy, and amazing. I will miss her.
Also, there was some big deal made about some person called
Whitney being relieved that she didn’t get sent home. WHO THE HELL IS THIS
WOMAN? Has she been here the whole time?
Nick and the harem will be traveling to St Thomas. Much like
Milwaukee and New Orleans… St Thomas is “the perfect place to fall in love”.
There will be three dates this week, a solo date, a group date, and ANOTHER two
on one. Oh boy! With the “no need for a cocktail party” and a second two on one…
I think it is safe to say that Nick really starting to narrow down the field.
The solo date goes to Kristina. The spend time doing
something, I have no idea what. The only thing I know about this date is that
Kristina tells Nick of her horribly sad childhood in Russia. At one point, she
was so hungry, she ate lipstick; at another time, her mother kicked her out of
the house for eating without permission. SWEET JESUS. She is lovely and
gracious when talking about her adoptive family. I want to hug her. Obviously, between
being a ten and that devastating story… OF COURSE she gets a rose… but I tell
you now… Nick is WAY out of his league here.
Back at the hotel, the resort has provided the ladies with a
24 hour maid service. Corrine, is in HEAVEN. She has a nanny again!! There is
someone there to do everything for her! It makes me so uncomfortable watching
this woman. Don’t get me wrong, if I am on vacation and I am paying for the “wait
on me hand and foot” service, I expect that it would look similar to what is
happening here… the thing that makes me uncomfortable is how… childlike Corrine
has become. It’s disturbing to see a woman who is so hypersexual turn into this
little girl…like, super CREEPY.
The group date is a TOTAL DISASTER. What was supposed to be
a fun day at the beach, day boozing and playing games turns into every girl is
drunk, jealous, and NOT wanting to share their boyfriend anymore. Jasmine is spiraling
out of control – she is getting really ANGRY at Nick for not giving her a one
on one date. The volleyball game super cut also shows Jasmine pushing Corrine
to the ground. It’s a mess. When he finally comes over for some alone time, she
has worked herself up into such a tizzy that Nick, wisely, decides not to delay
the inevitable and sends her home… Not before she actually pretends to CHOKE
HIM OUT. It’s really bizarre. Pretty sure she will be playing in Paradise.
The rose on this date went to… um… I have no idea. Maybe he
didn’t give one?
And now, the second, dreaded two on one. Danielle L and “Who
the hell is Whitney?” are stuck together in a plane and then on a deserted
island with Nick. It’s clear very quickly that Nick will be sending home “Who
the Hell is Whitney”. Almost as baffling as her sudden appearance on this show,
is her absolute shock when he sends her home. He and Danielle fly off into the
sunset, leaving “who the hell is Whitney” all alone on the beach.
While at dinner, Danielle L confesses to Nick that she is
starting to fall in love with him. Upon hearing this… he realizes that he is
definitely not as into her as she is him, and so the kind thing to do would be
to send her home.
All in all - that is SIX women sent home in one episode. It's CRAZY. They are dropping like flies.
Here is what I think… Nick knows who he wants and is now so TERRIFIED that she might not want him back that he is going to try to sabotage his own cast and himself...
Nick, the man who has perpetually fallen in love with women who don’t
love him back, has a full blown crisis of conscience because the shoe is
finally on the other foot and he has no idea how to handle it. He does not handle his rejection of Danielle…
somehow, he has decided that because someone… ANYONE… has FINALLY said she
loves him and he doesn’t love her back – it makes him, somehow, a bad person,
or unlovable or something, I don’t know. Instead of retreating to the loving embrace
of Chris Harrison, and giving our intrepid host the opportunity to earn his
keep and talk some sense into him… Nick does the unimaginable…
He walks into the women’s suite (where the women are still
reeling at the removal of BOTH Danielle and Whitney’s suitcases) and declares that
he doesn’t think this is going to work.
AND FADE TO BLACK – HOLY CRAP ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!!!
Previews for tonight’s episode show LOTS AND LOTS of crying.
Here’s hoping a cliffhanger finally delivers.
Happy Rose day!!

Weeks 4 and 5: The quick, quick version.
Okay, here are the last two weeks in a nutshell.
Everyone apparently hates Corinne, because she is hyper sexual and doesn't hide it. She is also the "I am not here to make friends" girl.
Nick is letting her stick around b/c if this "journey" actually works and he finds the woman he will marry, Corinne is symbolic of his last hurrah... also, the producers said he had to.
In week four, they went to Nick's "hometown" Milwaukee... except, he is from a suburb of, and they only spent about three total hours anywhere NEAR Milwaukee and even then, they only hit two cool places - and they weren't even the best Milwaukee places. SO DISAPPOINTING. Nick takes Danielle L on a solo date where they attend a Chris Lane Concert (I have no idea who that is) at the Pabst Theater (one of the cool MKE places they actually hit). She got a rose... no real surprise there. He took Raven to his little sister's soccer game to meet his family and to a roller rink. This leads me to believe Raven will be sticking around for a while. Was it just me, or did Nick seem oddly comfortable on those skates? I think he used to be one of the roller rink employees that would skate around and blow his whistle at you if you were up to any funny business. Those guys took themselves WAY to seriously... I could see Nick being that way in high school. ANYWAY... Raven got the rose. On the group date they spent time on a dairy farm... b/c stereotypes! We are in Wisconsin! Let's pretend to farm! The only good part about that date was all the cow poo, and all the girls slipping and sliding through it... except Corinne, who refuses to play...which, to the other women is what...strike 8? The girls really hate her. At one point, Corinne describes herself as corn "you have to peel back the layers but once you do it is all juicy and buttery inside", Jesus, I love this girl. What a lunatic. I have NO idea who got the rose.
The episode ended as the rose ceremony cocktail party was heating up, and Taylor the brain confronted Corinne the sex pot about not having any emotional intelligence. Now, I get what Taylor is trying to do here, which is hike up ratings and make Corinne feel bad about herself...but it is a really nasty side of a woman who I thought HAD MORE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE than that! It was like the pot calling the kettle black... and just as the "fight" was heating up... "Do NOT call me STUPID, TAYLOR!!" - the episode ends.
Episode 5 picked up where we left off... and much like it always happens when the Bachelor has a "cliffhanger"... it leads to literally nothing. The girls stop talking and Nick hands out roses. Going home are... honestly... I have no idea who any of those girls are. Have they been here all season?
The rest of the crew heads to New Orleans. Nick takes Rachel (Go, Marquette! Go! Go! Go! Go!) and they partake in the "wander around the city and take in the culture date". They seem to have a very genuine like for each other and Rachel is a shoe in for the Rose. In fact, I feel like we may be inching ever closer to Rachel as the Bachelorette... she is AWESOME and I think has plenty of personality to carry a season on her own - Much more than quite a few of our past bachelorettes... so I am keeping my fingers crossed, I think she would be perfect... I feel kind of bad that my hopes for her being the bachelorette means that I am sort of hoping for her to get her heartbroken by Nick... so sorry about that Rachel.
There is a group date... they spend the evening in a "haunted" mansion... which, given with New Orleans spiritual culture and history, could have been cool... instead it was just, cheesy. Danielle M got the rose.
In a move surprising to NO ONE, Taylor and Corinne get the dreaded two on one date. They ride a boat down the bayou to the middle of nowhere swamp and learn about voodoo. Corinne takes her time with Nick to tell him all about how Taylor is mean. Taylor can't really contradict Corinne's story to Nick... b/c well... it's true. So Nick gives Corinne the rose, and he and Corinne leave Taylor behind in the swamp with the voodoo priestesses. As Nick and Corinne enjoy a dinner alone, Taylor has allowed the priestesses to perform a voodoo ritual on her and she is marching up the stairs to Nick's date to tell him all the things she thinks he still needs to hear.... AND fade to black.
Join us next time, as Nick must face Taylor and the voodoo magic.
Honestly, I like Nick. I REALLY appreciate that he knows the appropriate times to use "I" and "me" in a sentence... but all this cliff hanger stuff... it's getting old. Particularly b/c NOTHING EVER HAPPENS after the cliff hanger. Fingers crossed for this week!
Enjoy!!
