-We started with the women toasting each other for making through night one. According to Nick’s blog last week, there were four girls from the first night that he never even spoke to who he still gave roses to. So hopefully those four weren’t all that giddy toasting each other. The date card arrived and it was for 12 girls to join him on a brides and bridesmaids photo shoot. Corinne is already overly excited for Nick. Corinne: “I’m crushing on Nick so hard.” She had a couple night one conversations with him and she kissed him. And already she’s freaking out. Probably due to the fact that she’s 24 and about as mature as a high school freshman. I don’t follow many of Nick’s girls on social media, but I do follow Corinne on snapchat. During the show last night I saw she’s already promoting Diff Eyewear, like half the people in this franchise. Oh wait, but she wants to do garage flooring the rest of her life when daddy hands over the business. Sure she doesn’t.
-As they’re getting prepared for the group date, Corinne is essentially bragging to Hailey that she was the first to kiss Nick. Then tells us in an ITM: “I was the first to kiss him, my name was 1st on the date card, I’m full of #1’s. Better than #2’s. Or going #2.” Again, just trying to be funny, knows the role she needs to play on the show, and is playing it to perfection. Problem is, we’ve seen this role plenty of times before. They do and say things that know will get them camera time, and they stir the pot. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it isn’t. But most of the time, it achieves it’s goal. She’s 24. My guess is that she’s not the most self-aware person on the planet. While she thinks she’s funny and knows she’ll get camera time from it, she doesn’t comprehend how young and immature she looks. But she’ll take validation from strangers on IG telling her how funny she is and think those people are right about her, where any sane individual with at least 12 brain cells knows she’s a hot mess and her schtick will get old real soon. But hey, keep building those IG followers since that’s what the show has become. Her “Wine, Bachelor, Yoga Pants” tank I’m sure will be sold any second now.
-The date itself was pretty tame as a bunch of them just put on brides or bridesmaid dresses and took pictures with him. You had Vanessa as an 80’s bride, Alexis as the Shotgun bride, the Biker bride, Princess bride, and Adam & Eve wedding with Brittany, who wore a leaf bikini bottom with no top. I think the most interesting part of this group date was they were somehow able to wrangle Franc from “Father of the Bride” to be the photographer for this date. Did anyone else find it incredibly ironic that he was telling one of them during the shoot, “Somebody needs a little spanking.” If Franc was any more happy, he’d have been Andy Cohen. Brittany definitely had some balls to wear that bikini and she rocked it. However, when Corinne is uttering lines like, “I need to make him feel the more Corinne side of Corinne,” then you knew what was coming. Platinum vagine anyone?
-Corinne is not to be upstaged by anyone this season, especially someone with the same name as Jordan Rodgers’ ex girlfriend, so she takes matters into her own hands and makes sure she puts the focus on her by taking her top off in the pool and posing with Nick. Nick the “Bachelor” is probably thinking to himself, “This isn’t a good idea, what will the other girls think, I don’t know how to act,” when Nick the Producer is loving every second of this. And probably thankful as all get out that this happening in the water so the camera isn’t catching him pitching a tent under the surface at this point. I think podcast guest Juliet Litman said it best last week when she said Corinne is about as transparent as they come. We know what we’re getting with her every week. She knew what she was doing every week and owned it. She’s there to cause drama, have people talk about her, give humorous one liners, and then go on to be the star of “Bachelor in Paradise” this summer. And Nick wanting so badly for this to be a good season ratings wise, is well aware what Corinne is all about and keeps her around accordingly. She’s “good TV” and she’s who people are talking about every Tuesday morning.
-The photographer shockingly chose Corinne as the “winner” of this date, even though he never really explained what exactly she won for. Then again, this is a straight ploy by producers to do something like this so the other girls will get upset and start talking about it. Nick the Producer who likes kissing ass will have you believe no editing happens on this show and that it’s who you really are that comes out, and they just exploit it. Actually no, Nick. You’re absolutely wrong, and your slurping job with Elan and Todd is shining through. Corinne “won” that group date to cause drama. That’s producer editing. Or manipulation. Or mind f***ing. Whatever you want to call it. That photographer had zero input on who he really should choose to “win” the date. Hey, just pointing out the obvious. Producer Nick is having a field day with this season and we’re one date in. Outstanding.
