Somewhere in a warehouse far from the lights and glamour of the Vegas Strip, an ABC executive lights a cigarette and flicks the match into a muddied, dusty corner. The lucifer fizzles as it burns out. "Bring them in," the executive snaps at her team of goons. They rush out and return with five men with hoods over their heads. I of them is crying. The executive walks over to the men and blows fume right at them. The smoke is disorienting. "What's happening?!" one of them yells through the hood. "What'southward happening is that yous're going to exercise whatsoever I say. What'due south happening is your life is over unless you cooperate," the executive coolly replies. "We'll practice whatsoever you want. Please, we have families," another one of the men mutters through sobs. The ABC executive whips off the man's hood. She blows smoke in Brian Littrell's face.

"You're going to teach your iconic 'Everybody (Backstreet's Dorsum)' choreography to a grouping of nail-salon owners, pro-basketball dancers, and a man who has three failed reality-Television relationships for a crowd in Burbank and then pick which 26-yr-old has the all-time chemistry with a 36-year-old human. That's what y'all're going to do. Plus, y'all tin do one plug for your Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood."

Don't believe it? So you attempt explaining what the fuck the Backstreet Boys are doing in this episode. I feel bad for every other Available and Bachelorette who had to suffer through third- and fourth-string country-music stars.

Anyway, ABC really banked on the ladytestants having a problem with Nick'due south prior relationship, huh? Most of them just shrug through Nick's emotional ramblings about the issue. Nick, no one cares. Someone volition still like you. Information technology'due south 2017. Women understand that y'all may have banged a person or ii. He makes a bigger bargain of it at the cocktail party, but I've basically blocked that out considering Corinne decided that now was the best time to try out her Sexy Carmen Sandiego part-play. She really trots out to the cocktail political party wearing zippo but a trench coat and a can of whipped foam. Maybe she thinks Varsity Blues is a sexy vintage picture. She keeps opening upwardly her glaze, I presume to show Nick her nipple. Meanwhile, Brittany is off somewhere crying at the palpable uncomfortable sexual tension. Jasmine steals Nick away and spends the balance of the episode reading Corinne. From there, Nick puts his boner dorsum in his pants and goes off with the other women. Corinne has a meltdown considering she showed a man her nipple and he didn't immediately accept sex with her. She's been taught some strange things about adult relationships. I guess that happens when you're raised by a non-speaking nanny and a well-worn VHS re-create of Wild Things.

Information technology's time for the rose ceremony and Corinne has literally fallen asleep upstairs, clutching her grouping-engagement rose. Astrid, Taylor, Whitney, Kristina, Danielle L., Rachel, Vanessa, Raven, Jaimi, Dominique, Sarah, that shark-ass bitch, Brittany, Josephine, and Jasmine G. all get roses. On her way out, Hailey thinks that Nick beingness attracted to someone like Corinne is upsetting and shocking. We're all with you on that, Hailey. Also, that dress is a-mah-zing.

After Host Chris drops off the date card, the actual Backstreet Boys cease past the mansion to let the ladytestants know that they'll be performing onstage with them. They'll even pick the ladytestant who has the best chemistry with Nick to slow dance with him, seventh-grade-dance fashion. Listen, I love me some Backstreet Boys, but I don't know if they're a cappella gear up at a moment's notice at age 40. I need someone to practice the math to figure out if Corinne and that shark-ass bitch, the two youngest ladytestants, are even quondam enough to remember "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."

During the start group date, Corinne has trouble maintaining any rhythm or keeping up with the "planned dancing." Maybe if you were a petty older, you would already know all the "planned dancing" because yous would have practiced it in your bedroom over and over. This makes Corinne feel uncomfortable and she runs into the bathroom to cry on the shoulder of some unnamed other brunette. (I have to ask: If she'south this terrible of a dancer, is she good in bed? Where does her sexiness come from? Information technology doesn't appear to come up from comfort in her own trunk.) Onstage, the Backstreet Boys pick Danielle Fifty. as having the best chemistry with Nick, which is a huge insult to Jasmine G., who is an actual dancer. At the post-group-date cocktail hour, Corinne gets some time with Nick so she can mend their relationship. Afterwards they brand out, she declares that she's "Fabricated CORINNE Slap-up Over again." Then she naps in the interview room. Corinne is television set's greatest graphic symbol and what we every bit a country hath wrought. Danielle 50. gets the grouping-date rose.

Also, Corinne admits to the other ladytestants that she has a nanny. She lists everything her nanny does for her and actually thinks it all makes her nanny happy and she's not the one to stop a woman's happiness. Corinne, your nanny isn't happy considering she gets to brand your "lemon salad," whatever the fuck that is. She's happy because she gets a paycheck every week from your family unit. She's pulling the world's greatest con. Corinne doesn't know how to do laundry or brand cheese pasta (which is just a fancy style to say Kraft Mac & Cheese).

For this week'south ane-on-ane date, Vanessa and Nick take $5,000 zilch-gravity rides. I asked my boyfriend if we could go take a zero-gravity plane ride and he said, "No, it looks like a trick. A trick on my heed." Apparently, it was all also existent for Vanessa because she pukes in a bag later flipping effectually also much. Nick consoles her and holds her mitt and even kisses her afterwards she pukes and says, "Still tastes fine." That made me puke. While on the engagement, Nick talks most how he'southward finally feeling optimistic about the prospects because he has such a adept connectedness with Vanessa. He'south talking about Vanessa in a weird way, like she's a plot device in his story. The woman who showed him he could dear again. I hope she isn't the woman who gets left at the chantry for Kate Hudson or somebody in the romantic-comedy version of Nick's life. She gets a one-on-one rose.

The next group appointment is a track-and-field day with Olympians Carl Lewis, Allyson Felix, and Michelle Carter, all of whom are actual heroes and deserve ameliorate than this. The subtext and text and supertext of this grouping engagement are Dominique's growing feet because she hasn't had whatever quality fourth dimension with Nick and he doesn't notice that she'southward getting too in-her-head. Y'know? Something that no human can find about another merely by sight. Astrid wins the final foot race even though Rachel steps on her hand in an epic maneuver. Because Astrid won the concluding race, she gets some quality time with Nick in a hot tub. She gets into the hot tub in her workout dress. That'south foul.

At the cocktail hr, Dominique takes Nick aside and asks why he didn't know she was feeling weird and nurture her. You lot've had one conversation with him iii nights agone. He doesn't know when you're beingness weird. Either way, Nick says he doesn't experience the same thing he feels with some of the other women with Dominique, so she is dismissed. Nick is being savage this time effectually. He doesn't similar you even a lilliputian bit, you're gone. Rachel gets the grouping-engagement rose. I cheered in my flat: "AGE-Advisable! EDUCATED! A SISTER!"

Finally, instead of a cocktail party, Nick wants to host a pool party because he's a muddied, dirty homo. The ladytestants have never been more than horny for a man on Earth. Raven vigorously rubs sunscreen on Nick's abs and Jasmine tries to eat his pecs. Corinne has another sexy surprise in store: a bouncy house. Y'know, that classic sexy movement. Nick is into information technology. He's picking Corinne upwards and flexing for her. He too talks to her like he'south her daddy. Not like her daddy just her daaaadddddyyy. He's very into her extreme sexual artlessness. All the other women are watching over the walls of the mansion equally Corinne straddles him on the floor of the bouncy business firm next to some third-grader's Ring-Aids from the last party it was rented for. When Nick grabs Corinne'due south donkey, all the other ladytestants flip out. Vanessa takes him bated and tells him that she should just go dwelling house if he's looking for someone like Corinne. Raven tells him he'southward making a error. Taylor questions his motives.

All the while, Corinne is somewhere wrapped in a cucumber pare, being fed lemon salad past the same PA who got tricked into inflating that bouncy firm. Amend him than the nanny, I estimate.
