1/16/17: The Bachelor - ep 3

Alright alright alright - let's get down to it!!



Recap: Nick just dropped da bomb that he and Liz had a sexual past and that she's going home.  The hive is a buzz with the ladies trying to talk each other through this.  Cocktail Party time - and Nick does his best to gloss over it quickly and skip right to the task at hand.  His eyebrows couldn't get any higher in his best attempt at being sincere, reassuring, and defensive.  Ahh!  The tension - it cuts like a knife!



The above just about sums up the range of emotions from the ladies: some aren't buying anything he's selling (the Vince Vaughns of the bunch) and others are perplexed and trying to calculate what this means for them (the Mel Gibsons).  Then there's Corrine - who decides to go commando in a trench coat for the evening .... *groan*  There's a prime joke about Nick talking about juggling in reference to the Naked (wo)Man - but that's too easy so I'm gonna pass on it.

Her lips seemed to have deflated a little between the action shots and the confessional, though...

Where'd her top lip go?  She's missing her lip filler appointments

Rose Ceremony
Corrine slept through it.  Astro is safe (swear to G that's how Nick pronounces Astrid's name ... and subsequently all I can think of are the Jetsons).  Elizabeth, Hailey, and Lacey are all sent packing.  He axed a lot of blondes, so I think it's safe to say that brunettes are mainly his thing.  Except for Corrine and her platinum vageeeen (direct quote - Google it if you don't trust me).

Group Date #1
OG arrives to wake the girls up and over-hype the dates.  We start with 6 brunettes and a blonde going to hang out with THE BACKSTREET BOYS!!  The guys greet the entire group at the mansion to whisk them away, and their reaction was priceless.  It was like getting a glimpse into the 90s/00s when it was our version of the Beatles and Boy Bands were the thing <3 div="">


I'm honestly going to be keeping an eye on airline tickets for June so I can go to Vegas for a weekend and see their show ... childhood dream fulfilled :)

Things I Learned watching this date: 1) Corrine is a crybaby; 2) the BBs still got moves and chords even though we're all closer to 40 than we are to 20; 3) if this were me I wouldn't care how idiotic I looked dancing and I'd just enjoy myself.  Once in a lifetime moment - get over your own ego and just do it!  4) ABC knows their demographic well -- they got me with this!  5) chokers need to be DONE.  We been there, done that - it was not, and is not, a good look.

Post dance cocktails: Corrine took another nap; Corrine legit has a nanny (Raquelle) ... she does her laundry, makes her salads, the whole 9; Jasmine fell down; and Danielle got the rose.

1:1 Date
Vanessa gets to experience zero gravity!  So cool!!  I'd barf - but dang if that still doesn't look like fun:


Not fun was watching them kiss after V upchucked several times and Nick having this to share with us: 

"Still taste fine." .... ewww
He dragged her up to some skyscraper restaurant for dinner (just what she needs ... more heights).  They talked about their relationships with their families, past romantic relationships, Nick's motivation for being on the show AGAIN, Nick cried, they hugged.  Good stuff.  V for the W!  She gets a rose.

Group Date #2
Track & Field day.  Everyone gets a Participation Ribbon, but only will walk away with a rose.  I don't care for the Olympics, so I couldn't tell you about the Three Musketeers that came to help out.  Google that too - you're on your own.  Astro was rocking her Fabletics, and unfortunately Kate Hudson does not make sports bras for anyone even slightly endowed.  Her boobs are gonna hurt tomorrow from all that activity.  #ouch  Sharky, Rachel, and Astro make it to the final round of challenges and thanks to Rachel being too fast and Astro being just slow enough to grab the prize, A wins some alone time in the jacuze with Nick (and his pepperoni nipples ... ewww)  Dominique is not at all happy:

if looks could kill...

Post date cocktails: Dominique is crying, Nick's not feeling it, and she gets sent home.  C'est la vie.  Rachel gets the rose.

Cocktail Party
Turns out we're having a pool party instead and everyone is all kinds of inappropriate.  Corrine rode Nick in a bouncy house; Jasmine tried to check his tonsils up close and personal; he played tongue-twister with one of the non-blondes....and then Corrine took another nap.

Damn if girlfriend doesn't look comfortable!

Taylor, That's So Raven, Jasmine, and Vanessa all confront Nick about the issues with Corrine.  Nick didn't like being put in the hot seat about having a casual romp - and we're left with the cliffhanger for next week.

Will Vanessa send herself home? Will Astro find better support?  Will we all get drunk doing shots every time someone cries???  Stay tuned!

Updated roster attached - hard to believe we've bid adieu to 13 ladies already ... where does the time go?!

See you next week!
