Nick is a life coach

Well-if one thing is clear. Nick knows how to be on this show and man can he milk it (more that later). He was coaching all the women to express their feelings because he wanted to hear them...but typically he just kissed them after his spiel.

Rose return policy
Trump may re-negotiate NAFTA but Vanessa threatens to return the rose! What is happening in this world? Speaking a of a world being rocked..there was serious bouncy castle drama (words you likely will never see together again in a sentence). Vanessa et al were upset that Corinne ordered a bouncy castle and straddled Nick in it. It like the opposite of deflate-gate (Note that is likely the only NFL reference that has every been in this blog). That bouncy castle incident had all the women talking..and thinking that if Nick picks Corinne he made not be ready for marriage.

Nick talks to Vanessa...and he tells her it's about the end game and to be patient..but her really wants to hear how she feels and tells here knows what it's like to be in her place. Nick says he's all ears...but really it's literally lip service..he kisses most of the women to make it all better and gives them no direction about what he really wants.

At this point..i'm not sure I like any of the women...I really like Vanessa...she's a bit self righteous though.

Nick states the Corinne is rubbing the women the wrong way..ummm I don't think it's that rubbing that the women are concerned about.

Corinne gets the rose..gasp.

Travel........to Wisconsin!!!!! Is that like going to Saskatchewan?? Like it's really pretty ..and people are super friendly but most people don't think it's a treat.

1st group date
So much giggling.
Danielle L is so freaking adorable..but she just giggled through most of the date boring stories ie. jumped in a lake for $12 and one too many stories about how many girls he made out with at the library, field or school. When people talk about their 'action' that much I start to wonder.
Danielle just giggled all along. They ran into Nick's ex Amber who happened to be sitting by a window looking effortless and reading a book. I wonder if she got paid for the appearance..and Amber told Danielle that Nick leads with his heart and only goes in when he feels it's right..which is why he's proposed twice..on  a reality show. Thanks Amber. Danielle and Nick go to a concert..and have the custom mini stage where they can stand out from the crowd and have the spotlight for them. Nick was so lost in Danielle's eyes that he couldn't dance..let alone dance and kiss and the same time. They kinda swayed to Chris Lane (?) concert.


Poop I mean Group Date.
This is likely the lowest cost group date ever. They go to a dairy farm. Whoa.if you've ever been to a dairy farm the smell of the poop stays in your hair, but at least they all smell the same.
They go ta dairy farm of someone who is unknown to Nick and he is feeling a 'baby cow' aka a calf.
Then some of girls try to milk a cow. Jamie was successful.Nick of course makes an obvious teat joke. Tiresome. Speaking of tiring..the girls have a make work project of scooping poop that was placed in a pile by the barn and transferring it to another area. Corinne took a time out. Women are incensed..steaming just as much a the steaming pile of poo.
Then there is a group date in a cold drafty farm house..where women have to pop from couch to couch and cover in a blanket. No wonder there is drama..I'd be annoyed too if I was freezing in heels and smelled bad. Kristina has a serious chat with him..and gets the rose.


Raven
Can we just take a moment to address the stiletto in the room on this date?  Nick and Raven meet Bella, meet the parents and then participate in rollerskating and Nick was super proud of his rollerskating ability...BUT why was Raven's Bella's attack of her ex-boyfriend okay? confronting her ex for cheating? Sure. Kicking down the door like a 'spider monkey' okay so I still don't know the difference between a dolphin and shark costume..but what is a spider monkey and can they kick down doors? the monkey analogy is not the point. Melodramatic to kick down and door, but she's angry..Walking in on the deed..well weird..but if it gives you closure..BUT the  distressing thing is that she took the stiletto of the woman and beat her boyfriend in the head. What? Really? How is that okay? If the reverse is true people would be protesting(rightly so). And people should protest this. Violence is never ok. Ugh. I'd let Raven fly based on that.  But Nick just said "whoa"..and that he's never cheated on anyone..and he offers one more time for them to roller-skate together in the Milwaukee Art Museum....

Rose Ceremony.
there isn't one..again.
The irony is that the mental  health counsellor is putting down someone who she's assessed doesn't have enough emtotional intelligence.

I think my intelligence took a dip after this episode..
However
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!
