-You’ll never believe who the star of the after party was. And when I say star, I mean “producer puppet who did everything they told her to do.” Corinne is the first one to steal Nick away for some alone time, and already the girls are beginning to talk about her. She’s the aggressive one, does Nick really want someone like that, blah blah blah. Just remember, every conversation you see of the group of women talking about someone else, is a topic told to them by producers. They’re the ones who tell them, “Ok, someone bring up the fact that Corinne won the photo date and now she’s taking him away first. What do you think?” And then the conversation takes off from there. I know this may seem like Bachelor 101 stuff, but trust me, plenty of people think this is actually organic.
-Even before Corinne took him away, she was giddy over what happened during the photo shoot. “No one’s ever held my boobs like that. No one ever will.” Well, until Paradise this summer. Corinne, who are you trying to kid here? Your IG is nothing but bikini and duck face pics. Your FB default picture last time I checked a couple months ago was you topless in the sand. So of course when you do this kind of a stuff on a nationally televised show and other women aren’t, I get that you claim you’re doing it to get the man, but you’re obviously clueless as to how you’re perceived. And you can claim all you want you don’t care, but you do. You’re 24. Of course you do. You live for the feedback from strangers on the internet. Most of these contestants do. I would suggest toning it down a bit but, ummmmm, well, this has already been filmed months ago and I know you don’t.
-Oh hey, lookie here. We actually get to see Nick’s time with someone else on a 12 person date. It’s essentially been the Corinne show for the first 45 minutes. Raven talks to him and says her last relationship was 8 months ago. She walked in on him with another girl, so she’s got her guard up. Yeah, that’ll do it I tell ya’. Now, when people say they walked in on an ex with another girl, are we talking walked in and saw the act happening? And if so, what was the act? Or is it, she saw a girl leaving as she pulled up to his place? I’ve always wanted to know that, because I’ve never been in either situation. Of course I can control what I do, but lets hope I never actually walk in on an ex with another person. That’s gotta be brutal. Obviously I don’t know the circumstances, but how dumb do you have to be to physically get caught with another woman when you have a girlfriend? I have no idea how guys even do it, but that’s just me. However, Raven says she’s attracted to a**holes, and Nick self-admittedly can be an a**hole, so expect these two to have a long, fruitful relationship…until the penultimate segment of the season.
-From that point, even though there are 12 women on this date and we’re seeing Nick’s connection with only 2 of them, it turned into the Interrupting Game. Nick is talking to Alexis and Corinne interrupts, even though she’s already had time with him. Then Taylor interrupts Corinne. Then Corinne comes back and interrupts Taylor. Then Taylor comes back to interrupt Corinne. And every single time, Nick didn’t refuse the person who was interrupting, as he was in full Producer Nick mode. You know, because on night one, god forbid Jasmine tries to steal time away from him talking to Ida Marie (who? Yeah, that’s what I thought), but he’ll let Corinne interrupt him twice on the same date. It’s about as silly as you can get, totally pre-planned and Nick just went along with it. We see interrupting alone time on every date in every episode of every season. So that part isn’t new. But to see Corinne interrupt Taylor only to see Taylor return the favor on the same date was a first.
-Then at the end of the after party, Corinne and Taylor had a random awkward conversation asking each other if they were ok, and it couldn’t have been more passive aggressive if they tried. I thought Taylor handled herself about as well as she could given the circumstances and Corinne looked like an entitled brat. But hey, Producer Nick figured he’d fan the flames and get all of America talking just two episodes into the season by giving Corinne the group date rose so all hell will break loose. Corinne then gives some slurred speech to the rest of the group about feelings will get hurt, this isn’t an easy process, and she was just being herself. You can see they already started this episode with the Taylor/Corinne feud which culminates with their 2-on-1 date in New Orleans in episode 5. Now you know why they were on it. Both are on the Backstreet Boys group date next week where Corinne tells them all at the after party she has a nanny, and becomes the talk of the date.
