We are greeted this week to Corinne and Taylor, incredibly immature 23 and 24 year olds, engaged in a rather nasty and childish fight. Are they legal adults or middle school girls? Once the two are finished with their confusing fight, Corinne runs to tell Nick that Taylor is disliked by the other women in the house. While this is a complete lie, it does make for some stellar TV. Honestly I love Corinne, she’s the hot mess I needed in my life.
Astrid and Sarah go home at this week’s rose ceremony, nothing too noteworthy other than the Taylor vs. Corinne feud that continues to grow stronger each and every day.
For the next destination the happy family travels to New Orleans, somewhere interesting at least. The girls arrive in the Big Easy and we see a montage of the girls acting like the fakest group of friends I’ve ever seen — dancing around the street and pretending they’ve never seen a horse and carriage before.
Rachel and Nick go on a their one-on-one and suck faces in a local market, eat beignets and aggressively grind on each other during a second line procession. Poor Rachel thinks this is the, “best date of her life.” Really? Nick is the most boring man. He’s not even cool enough to be vanilla. This man is plain yogurt, like the really nasty kind old ladies eat. At dinner, Rachel opens up and Nick stares blankly back at her. I think we have a pattern here.
Oh boy, is the group date wild. Nick meets the girls at the Houmas House — a real life haunted house. The creepy caretaker tells an obviously false story, scaring the girls into believing it. A ouija board just so happens to show up, provoking the women to give in and play…que the lights going out. Nick bravely leads everyone around as if he was Fred from “Scooby Doo” and the women were all Daphnes. Several fake gimmicks later and the women are thoroughly spooked and they actually believe in ghosts. These ladies have had too much too drink if they are falling for these tricks. Also, Raven tells Nick she loves him. Excuse me but you’ve only known this fool for FOUR WEEKS!
It’s the time we have all been waiting for, a two-on-one with Taylor and Corinne. Thank you ABC for adding gasoline to this blazing fire. The trio heads to the bayou (for whatever reason) which is definitely thrilling for Corinne. A voodoo priestess greets the girls, revealing that there is too much tension for a three-way reading. No way. In the end, Nick sends Taylor home, leaving her to wait alone in the woods while the other two ride off into the sunset. I mean, I guess it is the smart thing to do. The producers would’ve never allowed Corinne to go home this early in the game. The previews for the next episode make it seem as though it’s Corinne’s last week. Only time will tell.
