Emboldened by how well the day had gone, she made a decision to confess her love for Nick at dinner, but was disappointed by his hesitancy to do the same.

Click on the video above to watch The Bachelor online and weigh on who you think Nick should – and will – take to the finale this winter.

Nick shows back up at the house unannounced and the girls aren’t even cute yet. Nick has said he doesn’t want to rekindle his relationship with Andi, and Kaitlyn is engaged to the victor of her Bachelorette season, Shawn Booth. She was scooped up for a biking adventure on what was supposed to be a relaxing day getting to know each other the week before hometown dates, but the two struggled to even have a natural conversation. Rachel has dated white guys before, she says, but she’s never brought one home – but she isn’t anxious about how her parents will take it. The situation really got awkward after Jasmine fake choked Viall and asked him if he wanted her to do it for real. There is also the morbid curiosity of seeing what kind of monsters birthed and raised Corinne.

Why go so bold (other than the fact that she is, well, Corinne)? Before sending Danielle home, Nick reminisces about their first date: “I had a level of comfort with you”.

ET caught up with Nick while he filmed his dates in New Orleans, where he revealed his top three frontrunners.

Rachel and Nick’s one on one is them talking over drinks.and that’s it?

Nick and Chris Harrison have a heart to heart talk while the girls ponder about what is happening. Nick replied with “Okay”, then added, “You’re very attractive”. They make sex noises into their live microphones for awhile before he tells her this isn’t a good idea and sends her away. The two never talked about anything substantial. But, she should probably just chill. She retreats, hurt. On Rachel’s one-on-one date, they stroll through the streets of Bimini to what Nick, an expert, describes as a refreshingly non-touristy bar.

A similar thing occurred with Kristina. Who confronts Nick on The Bachelor? Kristina deserves to have an Oscar bait movie made based on her life not be a reality TV bride.

Raven scored the week’s only rose, leaving Corinne and Kristina in the figurative deep end.

Nick took the “lucky bitch” (Corinne’s words, not ours) on a yacht and for an ocean swim. This setup right now is as good as it’s going to get for you. That, too, leaves a wide range of potential women.

While onboard a boat, Vanessa told Nick that she is a little hesitant after his outburst in St. Thomas. To do the same thing to Kristina and Danielle, who were emotionally invested, would be cruel. He felt they could get close, but it was a gamble compared to the other women, who felt more certain. She will be moving onto much greener and more starring role pastures on The Bachelorette.

Nick’s final one-on-one before the hometown dates start was a carefree visit to a local bar with Rachel. Nick only is going to continue one relationship. Well, she is fed up with it and wants to get some serious alone time with Nick. Just tell them the truth.

Nick takes his sandy shoes and heads to the women’s suite, where he explains that even though sending Danielle L. home was hard, he did it in part because of the strong relationships he has with the other women. Unless Vanessa decides to quit and remove herself from the competition, she will nearly definitely get the ring at the end.

“The Bachelor” season 21 is nearly down to its final four roses, and for over a month of dating, the installment has already determined its “season villain”. The girls are left in shock, wondering if the season is ending here and now.

So what do you think? But was there ever any way the producers were going to let Corinne slip through their fingers without first taking us to Miami to meet Raquel? “You deserve someone who doesn’t sit in front of you and say there are stronger relationships”, he said.
