Thankfully, the sixth episode of The Bachelor was not Corinne-centric.

Can Nick right the ship or will he sail off into the sunset by his lonesome? These are Jaimi King, Josephine Tutman, Alexis Waters, and Whitney Fransway. “The most epic two-on-one date in Bachelor history!” turns out to be the opposite of a game changer.
Even though Taylor interrupted Corinne’s time with Nick after she was eliminated at the end of their two-on-one date, she was still unable to change the Bachelor’s mind by telling him that Corinne had lied. Even Nick was crying over the story, as well he should. Consider this the show getting their money’s worth, since there is nearly a 0% chance she wins at the end.
Yes, Nick chose Corinne after realizing that Taylor lacked the self-awareness to realize that questioning someone’s intelligence quotient can be construed as bullying when you’re intellectually superior. That’s what they call foreshadowing, folks. One-on-one conversations and damage control are the name of the game.
And really, Jasmine hadn’t gotten much camera time either, until this week when she simply lost it in front of America. She assures him she’s not here to go on group dates, but actually wants to find a husband.
To start with the group date which he planned for the ladies did not go as per the plan. “Today was a disaster”, Nick says.
Nick tried to salvage the date at the cocktail party. That meant Taylor was left alone, creeping through the woods as though she had watched The Revenant a few too many times.
When Nick gives her attention, Vanessa and Rachel get upset, and Jasmine decides to confront Nick, because “I’m so mad at him”. Clearly elated, Danielle L. confidently strolls into the private dinner portion of her date with Nick. She let her anger and frustration and insecurity get the best of her while in St. Thomas.
Appreciating the villain for as long as you can is critical, as her only goal is to serve a brief, but important role in the characterization of the more important figures. One of which includes her attempts to come up with memorable sound bites.
The key is to cultivate a group of people who will both make fun of the show during the last-rose announcements (everyone in the room can count to one, I am positive), and also “aww” along with you when something actually cute happens. “For the first time in my life, I felt my heart stop”. Nick choses Kristina for a romantic seaplane jaunt and they fly away, leaving Jasmine teary and frustrated on the shore.
And with that, she choked whatever slim hope she had of lasting another week out of existence.
That night, Kristina opened up about living in Russian Federation as a child. Raven got the rose – but we didn’t even get to see that. Danielle L. and Whitney met Nick at a helicopter for a casual lift to another beach.
Therefore it seems the only person surprised that Whitney was about to be stranded on a beach was Whitney.
But then again, neither was Danielle. “No girl’s ever choked you before?” she asks before offering to be the first.
“I really did come here to like fall in love with somebody”, Goode said on her vehicle ride home after Viall eliminated her.
“Maybe it’s me that can’t reciprocate the kind of love that she’s so willing and able to give”, he said. “I don’t need to be here”, she complains, in a flawless pair of sentences that I want printed on a T-shirt.
After a rose ceremony, nine women remain in the competition and they traveled with Nick to a tropical island.
“I hate this”, said Corinne, before threatening to take a nap. “He wants it to work, but he’s terrified that it’s not going to, so he leaves”, Highfill wrote. Well it happened right off the bat and it wasn’t that dramatic. “I don’t know if I can keep doing this”.

The remaining women were shocked to see Danielle’s suitcase plucked from their suite (that’s “Bachelor” for “Danielle be gone”).
