SPOILERS AHEAD!

This week’s episode of The Bachelor had everything really, whip cream, bouncy castles, zero gravity dates, Olympians, and The Backstreet Boys…oh and drama of course.

It all kicked off with a cocktail party, where Nick addressed why he sent Liz home…plain and simple she was there for the wrong reasons…oh and he added these three words, “we had sex”. Nick then claims he’s a “open book” and one by one the women shared their comments and concerns about his one night stand with Liz. Nick uses his time with Danielle L. (the one who looks like she could be the new 5th member of Fifth Harmony, its a compliment) to tell her that “he’s a fan”.

While Nick and Danielle share a moment, villain Corrine is upstairs putting together a plan of attack. Her outfit choice is one usually not seen at pre-rose ceremony cocktail parties, a trench coat…and that’s it. Nothing underneath! Her only accessory? A can of whip cream. She was planning something I’ve only seen executed in movies, the “I’m naked under this trench coat”. Apparently her plan was to make Nick lick whip cream off of her, however the best part of the cringe worthy exchange is when Corinne says “This is me in a trench coat if you were wondering, its weird.”

And apparently it was weird because Nick ended it before it went to far, leaving Corinne to run up to her room and cry and tell herself that they no longer have a chance as a couple. But did they ever have a chance?

Finally its time for the rose ceremony but Corinne decides since she already got the group date rose, that she could sit this one out. She decides beauty rest is more important.

With Corrine, Christen, and Danielle M. all safe with roses, Nick hands out the rest of the roses to Astrid, Taylor, Whitney, Kristina, Danielle L., Rachel, Vanessa, Raven, Jaimi, Dominique, Sarah, Alexis, Brittany, Josephine, and Jasmine. Which means we say good bye to Lacey, Elizabeth, and Hailey (one of only two Canadians).

Group Date #1:

Host Chris Harrison drops off the date card that next morning and promise that this group date will “BLOW YOUR MIND”. The cards reads: Danielle L., Christen, Kristina, Whitney, Taylor, Jasmine, and Corinne. EVERYBODY”. As soon as the word everybody is read the girls chirp up “The Backstreet Boys” and moments later BSB show up at the mansion. Imagine the biggest boy band of the 1990’s walks in to a room of 17 women between the ages 23-34. Hilarious! The boys reveal that the lucky ladies will learn choreography and appear as back up dancers with Nick for their show tonight!

Obviously a shameless plug for their upcoming Vegas residency follows. By the end of the date, the BSB members will pick one woman to stay on stage with Nick to be (awkwardly) serenaded by them.

Bachelor BSB

When it comes time to take the stage, Danielle L. walks away the winner even though Jasmine G is the NBA Dancer. Danielle L. and Nick have a sock hop style slow dance as The Backstreet Boys are side stage sining “I Want It That Way”. The two share a kiss and Corinne reminds us that this is her worst nightmare. The later portion of the date sends the girls to a dimly light ruin filled with endless alcohol and Corinne decides to share the duties of her Nanny Raquel. After the kiss, you had to know that Danielle L. was also gonna walk away with the group date rose, and she did!

One-On-One Date:

The only one-on-one date of the episode would go to the only Canadian left in the running, 29 year-old Vanessa. The two would get to be astronauts for the day, a zero gravity date! After the two float around and kiss in the tiny G Plane, things take a turn for the worse, Vanessa pukes. Could you imagine? Your first date with a guy, its on national television,and you puke! Doesn’t seem to both Nick, he continued kissing her.

Later that evening, Nick takes Vanessa to the roof of the tallest building in LA, where he learns her grandfather died just three weeks prior to filming but that her family encouraged her to come. And when she asks Nick why he would do the show again, she gets Nick’s first tears of the season!

Nick admits he’s been terrified that it isn’t going to work … until today gave him a bit of hope. Hello! Looks like we have a front runner now!

Group Date #2

The next day, the group date takes Rachel, Alexis, Astrid, Jaimi, Sarah, Brittany, and Dominique to a track, where they meet up with track and field legends Michelle Carter, Carl Lewis, and Allyson Felix. Today, the women will be participating in a “Nickathalon” to win Nick’s heart. Clever huh?

In the end, Rachel, Astrid, and Alexis advance to the final event: The three of them will race and whoever crosses the finish line first gets to grab a wrist-sized fake ring and meet Nick in the hot tub. It was all really poorly planned.

At the cocktail party that night, Dominique wants to confront Nick about the fact he didn’t check on her today when she was perfectly fine and competing in all the events. She tells Nick he didn’t give her a fair chance by allowing her to do exactly what all the other women did, so in turn, Nick sends her home. Ouch! That’s pretty cutthroat.

Rachel ends up with the date rose!

The next day, Nick decides to swap the cocktail party for a pool party!

While the other women help Nick with apply suntan lotion, Corinne decides to make him feel special the same way her nanny always made her feel special while she was growing up: She gets him a princess bouncy house. She then straddles him and begins kissing him with all the other girls watch.

After her time with Nick is over, Corinne heads back upstairs to sleep while the women decide it’s time to let him know Corinne needs to go. Raven tells him about the nanny. After watching what went down in the bouncy house, Vanessa is questioning whether Nick’s even here for the right reasons.

And just like that, this week ends on another cliff hanger with no rose ceremony, messing up another bracket! C’mon!

BEST TWEET OF THE NIGHT:

It was only a matter of time before someone created a fake account for Corinne’s Nanny, I’m just upset I didn’t think of it sooner!

Until next week Bachelor Nation, love ya!
