Always a bridesmaid

Dear diary..
Will Nick always be the Bachelor/suitor? Well..let's start off this episode with a bridal photo shoot, with various cliche brides/bridesmaids. Chris Harrison had just coached the ladies and let them know that there are 22 of them (in case they couldn't count) and that not all would get a 1:1 date..but when/if they did get time with Nick to 'take advantage of it'. I do think that Chris is going all Benjamin Button on the Bachelor.He is reverse aging. May he just exfoliates a lot. But the guy looks radiant. His job likely has less stress than an actuarian.

Before the group date the woman are remarking how confident Nick is. Nick seems kinder, but for a confident guy he mumbles a lot. It's like he doesn't inspire enough to talk - inspire i mean inspiration..taking in enough breath. Maybe he's too busy taking everyone's breath away.hahahahaha

This group date assigned women to various get-ups for role play: 80s bride, shotgun bride, Princess bride (not s the movie), Eve as a bride and beach bride (even though she was poolside).
My favourite part of the shoot was the photographer. His outfit and the glasses. (If I had emojis on the blog I'd give his fist bump, thumbs up, high ten, a smiley face with hearts on the eyes, a camera and a beating heart..I realized I've started to think in emoji)  The Eve bride looked amazing in her leafy bottom. Was Taylor the princess bride?  Clearly her masters from John Hopkins wasn't in feminist literature- being a princess bride replete with tiara did not offend any sensibilities. The photographer chose Corinne as having the most chemistry with Nick and the big prize was....another bridal photo shoot..but Corinne was proud...that he touched her boobs. She's got boobz goalz.


After the 2 photo shoots, they go to a photo shoot wrap up party- where Corinne continues to drink, drink drink and use a lot of cliches. Taylor digs deep into her brain (because that's what she says Nick likes..) and gets enough vulnerability/courage to interrupt Corinne. There were so many girls interrupted I lost count..but Corinne gets the rose....maybe Nick digs that she wears her heart on her sleeve and that here bikini top kept falling falling falling and perhaps even a nipple was exposed when was talking to Nick. Yup Taylor, Nick is into geniuses.

1:1 date with a Romantic mash-up
There are so many romantic things on this date..helicopter, yacht, (uneaten) dinner in a courtyard and Ferris wheel. It's a good thing Danielle isn't the queasy type...so many opportunities for nausea on the date. Nick seems super comfortable with the his home-girl. She disclosed that she walked in on her fiancee who had overdosed and died. Nick praised her vulnerability.  What a tough thing to discuss and he thanked her for sharing. Nick was gracious and compassionate. Nick is lovelier than before..butI don't think he's as confident as the women make him out to be.

Museum of Broken Relationships
The date card read "We need to talk..."
(ALL contestants read the ellipsis as DOT DOT DOT ...not sure why i find that SO ANNOYING ...)
I'm sure the Bachelor could take over the museum with it's own exhibits of relationships gone awry. This date seems like extra bad karma on a show that's already laden jealousy and insecurity...seems like awful foreshadowing..
We already know that Liz told Kristin that she had previously enjoyed relations with Nick at Jade and Tanner's wedding. Kristin said she's going to keep it on the DL.The group date was the women breaking up with Nick. Nick is wearing a denim shirt again and he's got some serious volume on his lid.
At the museum they view random artifacts. I'm surprised that the ring Nick 'donated' to the museum wasn't placed in a Neil Lane box.
At the performance theatre part of the date when they all had a chance to break up with Nick.Liz tried to get emotionally raw with Nick)...but I guess Nick is picky with who he can be vulnerable.  What was with that outfit that Liz had on...it's like the bottom started out being shorts, then wanted to be a skort, but ran out of time/material. Josephine (whose facial scar from the earlier in the episode seemed to heal) gave Nick a huge slap. mark too so they could match. I think they should say not to violence on the Bachelor. Hitting is never cool..even as a joke. The Russian dental hygienist breaking up over brushing is about as funny as a dietitian breaking up with someone over vegetable consumption. Not funny ..but better than slapping. Good thing the oral hygiene comments didn't go further.

At the odd get tougher post break-ups, they all went to a mall(?) to get to know Nick better.  Kristen told Nick about the Liz reveal and she thought they could "move forward" and that would gain some advantage with Nick...nope..Nick's got the hook-up on his mind so Kristen is denied. Guess noone likes a tattle tale. Liz and Nick finally chatted..i totally agree that Liz intentions for coming on the show were questionable...but i agree with her that if he really wanted her number he could have asked Jade. But Liz's answers to his questions weren't making sense..just as non-sensical as her outfit. So he let her go.

and was there a rose ceremony..nooooooooo

Ugh...i don't like when they mess up the routine of this show!!
But until next week

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
