-We pick up where we left off last week, and that’s with Vanessa having a full vice grip on Nick’s nuts. She’s giving him the 3rd degree, even threatening to give back her rose. “Are you here for a wife, or here to f**k around.” Damn woman. Direct and right to the point. Someone who will call Nick out on his sh**. Just what he likes. She says she doesn’t want to waste her time, she finds herself pulling back, and doesn’t know what to think now after watching Nick “ride” Corinne. Granted, we never actually saw the part where he was riding her, but I’m sure it was glorious. I’m pretty sure Vanessa won Nick right then and there with that conversation. Because if Random Girl #7 comes to him in that exact setting with that exact conversation and calls him to the carpet on his behavior, she’s gone the next rose ceremony. But Nick wants to explore Vanessa Island so she ain’t goin’ home anytime soon.
-Corinne in the Bouncy House with Nick essentially had everyone up in arms. So Taylor and Sarah go and wake Corinne up who was smiling in her sleep. And snoring because the sounds were pumped in through the audio like Josh’s moans eating pizza. Oh yeah, there’s a Sarah on this season that definitely spoke up tonight twice to Corinne’s face. Not sure where that came from, but ok. Corinne tells them she’s not privileged in “any way, shape, or form.” Well, other than you live off daddy’s money, your mom showed us exactly where you get your mentality from, you have a personal assistant that cleans your clothes for you as a 25 year old woman, and you went on TV to make a name for yourself. No, you’re not privileged at all sweetie. Totally normal. Corinne: “You do you. Imma gonna do me.” Pretty much exactly what you’d expect someone to say who isn’t the least bit interested in any constructive criticism.
-You know what’s kinda weird this season? These Chris Harrison talks he has with Nick right around the corner from where the girls are standing for the rose ceremony. “We gotta talk about Corinne a little bit…” Ummmm Chris, she’s in the next room over. She can hear you. Your whispering isn’t covering up anything. Not like she cares, but still. So Chris just gives him the little pep talk regarding Corinne, what the girls think, Nick says he has to be more aware of what he’s doing, doesn’t want to hurt anybody, and…no mention of the riding in the bouncy house? C’mon Chris. They don’t pay you $60k an episode for nothing. Ask the hard hitting questions. Ask Nick what does he expect the reaction of the girls will be when in a span of less than 24 hours, he licked whipped cream off Corinne’s boobs, then used her body as a play toy in an inflatable castle. But hey, according to her mom, it’s “fake.” Ummmm, fake would be using a body double and that wasn’t your daughter doing those things. It was. Yes, there are absolutely parts of this show that are fake. The ones mommy pointed out in the TMZ video? Not fake.
-Rose ceremony time. Rachel, Vanessa, and Danielle L. safe with roses. Nick: “Ladies…amazing week….transparent, honest, difficult conversations…thank you for all being understanding…and Corinne, maybe next time can we throw a little chocolate on those boobies? Thanks.”
Raven: It’s been two episodes since she’s called the hogs. Lets do this.
Taylor: I’m guessing people feel strongly one way or another about her now.
Whitney: Four full episodes in and she’s barely spoken.
Kristina: Slowly but surely creeping up the ranks as one of my favorite Russian spies this show has ever had.
Jasmine: She’s a feisty little one. I can’t wait til she gets eliminated to see her go off.
Alexis: The funny girl this season who doesn’t get enough air time.
Astrid: Someone created a twitter account @Astridsboobs because of course.
Danielle M.: Basically been invisible since her 1-on-1 date.
Jaimi: Nose ring game on point this season.
Josephine: One those girls that you know probably said a bunch of weird/funny/stupid sh** in her ITM’s, but is taking a backseat (like pretty much everyone else) to the Corinne show.
Sarah: At least she spoke this episode.
“Ladies, Nick, this is the final rose tonight. When you’re ready. We still don’t know at this point where we’re headed next, but it’ll certainly be somewhere you’ll scream at the top of your lungs for whether you care to or not.”
Corinne: Over it.
Usually when they all click glasses at the end before they’re about to start travelling, the lead is the one that tells everyone where they’re headed. But as I mentioned in the spoilers, they were supposed to be headed to South Carolina for episode 4, but the hurricane cancelled those plans. Chris Harrison even said in an interview that things were touch and go and they didn’t know where they were headed as things had to be thrown together last minute. So that’s why we see him tell the girls the next morning that they’re headed to Nick’s hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconin!!!!! I think maybe 3 of the 15 girls left showed emotion. I could be wrong.

I am in the helping field and I’ve said this a thousand times, it doesn’t matter what letters you have after your name, people are people. Good therapists are hard to find. Enough said.
My favorites are Raven and Rachel. Corinne is a hoot. More calculating and therefore smarter than anyone is giving her credit. She knows her entertainment value and is riding her 15 minutes hard.

On your bit about the “bachelor” franchise reunion in nashville…Lauren B was there. Has anyone else noticed that she’s been doing a lot of traveling and posting absolutely NOTHING about ben here lately? Did they break up and I’m just the last to find out?

bsexton, Lauren B and Ben are still together. She doesn’t have a traditional “job” anymore. She makes money through social media now. If you follow any other social media “influencers” they all travel a lot (i.e. Becca Tilley)

i just wanted to call out all the hypocritical women who took part on the march on saturday who were demanding respect for womens rights
yet not 48 hours later were among the 7.4 million women who tuned in to this show to again win its slot in the adult women demographic and took part in this show trending as the #1 thing on twitter.
If you are going to fight for a cause and want to be taken seriously, how about also boycotting shows like this that have at its core the purpose of demeaning women while showcasing and encouraging women who are WILLING to act like complete airhead barbie dolls just for some attention/money/fame and instagram followers. The fact that those same people who watch and take part on twitter essentially negate any real significance or future change given to the cause that took place on saturday.

The only thing I’m interested in finding out, after reading this whole article, is who Raven’s ex-boyfriend is and how it was possible for the Arkansas Conspiracy.
The last episode ran like an episode of, “The Simple Life”. Everything that happened on the farm date was expected. It was also expected that Corinne would get a rose to stir controversy and that controversy would errupt.
Danielle L. also comes off as fake, even with all that editing. Yes, everyone knows Corinne is entitled, I don’t find her funny either. Just the SSDD, it’s old.

Regarding the Amanda/Wells situation, it’s not a surprise Amanda found a different guy from the franchise. She needs to continue to make money off social media, and a new guy fans already know is a good way to do that. Probably the same type of thing JJ & Juelia tried to do.

Scandal above or someone with a vendetta against Raven?
@katieottawa……so you can’t participate in a women’s march if you watch this show? Does that theory or “calling out” include watching beauty pageants, posting revealing selfies, sleeping around, putting on makeup or doing anything else focused on superficial things or things related to objectifying women?

Actually, Steve, if you had read the entire Knigge Farms article, you would know that they did not actually drink the fresh-squeezed milk. The farmer (whatever his name was) said they are not allowed to drink milk which has not been pasteurized, so they were compelled to warm some pasteurized milk and have the “ladies” drink that.

I hope Rachel gets the gig so the cries of racism can finally go away. I’m getting bored by the show and Corinne has overstayed her welcome. If I never saw her in the Franchise of this show I would be happy. I hope to see the Danielle’s,Taylor and Astrid on BIP. Their good look will bring in the guys panting!

As a female myself, I can 100% agree that women are the bigger hypocrites. Men have their own flaws, but women take the cake with hypocrisy.
Also, Nick is really dull. I only watched him on Kaitlyn’s season and had no reason to believe otherwise, but yea, very boring.

If women were offended about the things trump said regarding women than these same women should also be just as offended by the bachelor, abc and the horndog star himself and his airhead bimbos for the way they act and portray women on this show. This guy is on a tv platform where we can ACTUALLY SEE him grabbing random womens boobs, asses, licking boobs, rubbing explicitly on women, making out with many of them and where one of them was made known to have a one night stand with. Why is this guy or show and network not getting the same level of criticism for his actions which are being publicly broadcasted to a national audience? On a march you protest trumps words yet 7.4 million then watch, tweet and essentially participate and support the blatant message of this show which is to objectify, demean and devalue women by having one guy essentially have his way with multiple women with no self respect and no integrity who choose to let him for fame and money. So which is it?
As a true advocate then you would be offended by all encompassing matters that negatively impacts how women are treated and viewed with this show being a huge contributor to the problem and therefore not wanting to support it either. I called these so called feminists who marched hypocrites because they set up a march with a clear personal dislike for trump yet wanted to disguise it as a cause for women’s rights to add weight to serve their purpose of protesting. Just dont wear pussy hats and pretend to be all offended by the things that trump said but then 2 days later tune into the bachelor and be fine with it and then make us believe that womens rights are all that important. If these women want us to take them seriously than they cant just select certain matters that suits them to serve their cause while overlooking others just as significant or else it loses all its purpose and importance.

I am saddened that women do not understand what a march for woman’s rights is about; It’s about the right to continue to have legal access to choices in our lives. In my opinion, Rights does not equal feminism; the commentators above seem to be confusing the two. My concern when I joined my local march this past Saturday is my and my daughters losing the right to make medical choices regarding our bodies and healthcare. My concern is the loss of rights for all people easy leagl access to vote. My concern is deregulating multi billion businesses so that they can undo all environmental safeguards that have been installed in the past 20 years to protect our drinking water, our soil, our air to breathe (have you seen pictures of the air quality disaster in China, well the US is on its way to match such poor air quality in some areas, and great strides have been made in past years to nip this potentially irreversible disaster in the bud, Trump just used his executive power to undo these safeguards yesterday with one stroke of his pen, great for the profit potential of a very few billionaires, bad for the people/businesses who live in areas impacted negatively by oil spills, toxic run-off in water/soil/air etc. – this is what I marched against) TV Bachelor Nick is not the leader of the most powerful nation and the girls have signed on with consent to participating on the farce of the Bachelor as a career path to success after the show – it is entertainment. How can one really compare Nick’s consensual behavior with these “actresses” who more often than not instigate themselves the physical contact with the bachelor, to the President of the United States of America groping women without permission and then bragging about it (that is sexual assault and is a jail time offense) tsk. Makes me sick. Just because I watch the Bachelor for the faux entertainment silliness that it is, does not mean I cannot also passionately want to defend real life funding and access to healthcare and equal pay for all women. If men can get government/insurance funding for viagra, you better believe that women should get same funding access to birth control, especially if people preach that they don’t want unwanted pregnancy. Men can get Government assistance for prostrate screening/treatment, but GOP wants to defund Planned Parenthood whose primary care is cervical/breast cancer screening, Prenatal care, family health for children, and access to affordable birth control to limit situations where abortion might be then be a legal choice. I may not agree with what the women on the show may want to present themselves as in relation to how they go about winning the show, but I sure want them to have the right to be who they are even if I don’t agree. (As long as they are not harming anyone, I do not like at all the bullying). I marched for Women’s Rights, The protection of the environment, fair living wages, unfettered access to scientific facts and information (are you aware that Trump just shut down yesterday ALL public access to scientific research/communication of several major agencies including EPA, Labor dept, Interior, National Park Service and others – no access allowed at all, banned from communication to public – this is serious people!!!) With little warning and no explanation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention canceled a major climate change conference that had been scheduled for next month in Atlanta. “The Climate and Health Summit, which had been in the works for months, was intended as a chance for public health officials around the country to learn more about the mounting evidence of the risks to human health posed by the changing climate. I marched against this abhorrent silencing of science. And sadly so much more…. Please do not negate all these very important concerns because I am also a woman who watches a stupid TV show – that makes no sense. Disagree, sure, but don’t try to badger me because I watch TV – my life concerns are real for me and my children and the future of this amazing nation and planet. I can be against torture and committing war crimes by stealing by military force oil of another country and still want to drink a glass of red wine or bourbon while watching the farce of The Bachelor. Thank you for your understanding even if you do not personally support. For now thankfully, that is still your right – I will march to protect that right.
