Taylor is determined to defeat her arch rival, Corinne, even after being dispatched on the dramatic two-on-one date. So as Nick and the controversial bachelorette attempt to have a romantic evening, Taylor crashes their party to share information about her adversary. Will that change Nick’s impression of the provocative woman? After the rose ceremony, nine lucky ladies remain on the journey to the beautiful island of St. Thomas. Particularly curious about one bachelorette’s mysterious past, Nick spends the day with her, but will there be enough of a connection between them for her to continue? What starts out as a fun-filled, relaxing group date on a sandy white beach, turns awkward and goes awry, as Nick supplies a surprise ending. After this disaster, Nick is bewildered but continues with another two-on-one date with two women about whom he has been optimistic, hoping for reassurance that love is in his future. An unprecedented turn of events leaves Nick in tears and the remaining bachelorettes heart broken. Is Nick’s fourth bid to find his soul mate doomed?
Read on for spoilers on tonight’s show below.
Taylor Returns With a Mission
Last week on The Bachelor, Taylor Nolan and her enemy Corinne Olympios ended up on a two-on-one date. Nolan felt that Olympios was dishonest with Nick Viall when telling him about her interaction with Nolan. She also felt misrepresented and didn’t want to leave without telling Viall “her truth.” According to Reality Steve, Nolan returns to speak to Viall, interrupting his evening date with Olympios, but it doesn’t make much of a difference. Reality Steve stated that:
Taylor comes back at end of night to bitch him out about giving Corinne a rose over her. Corinne’s defense was she felt bullied by Taylor. Either way, didn’t change anything and Corinne stayed while Taylor was sent home.
Reality Steve reports that Nick Viall decides to cancel the cocktail party that follows this date.

Kristina Schulman finally gets her solo date with Nick Viall and she opens up about being an orphan as a child. She tells Viall that she grew up in Russia and that her mother was never around much. Schulman remembers the cupboards often being empty and there not being much food available to her. She even tried to eat lipstick as a substitute when she was hungry one day.
Schulman stated that one day her mother went out and instructed her daughter to not eat all day. When she returned in the evening, Schulman confessed to having something to eat and her mother told her to “get out.”
Upon hearing this story, Nick Viall begins to cry. He tells the cameras that Schulman has such a mature grasp on life and that she is refreshing.
On Schulman and Viall’s solo date, the couple explores the Annaberg Ruins on the island of St. John.
A Two-On-One Date Takes a Downward Turn
Even though Viall just had a two-on-one date, it’s time for another one. Tonight, he takes Danielle Lombard and Whitney Fransway out to see which of them he may have a future with … ABC states that:
Nick turns to his second two-on-one date – this time with two bachelorettes that offer an encouraging preview of the future. After choosing between the two, he is finds himself struggling to connect with the woman he selected. Having hit the lowest point of his journey, Nick dissolves into tears admitting that this time he may not find anyone to love.
In a report made by Reality Steve, Nick Viall decides to send Whitney Fransway home on the two-on-one date. However, afterwards, he chooses to also get rid of Lombard. Reality Steve dished that:
He keeps Danielle and leaves Whitney stranded on the island as the helicopter flies away … Later that night at dinner, Danielle tells Nick she’s falling in love with him, he doesn’t feel the same, so he sends Danielle home as well. After returning from the date, Nick comes in the room and talks to the six remaining girls (this is shown in the season preview), with him crying and thinking this might not work out for him. Just like every season, the lead always hits their low point and talks about never finding love, or maybe this won’t work for them, blah blah blah.
Tonight’s Group Date Results In Tears For Everyone
On tonight’s group date, Raven Gates, Vanessa Grimaldi, Jasmine Goode, Danielle Maltby, Rachel Lindsay and Corinne Olympios had a beach volleyball outing. Unfortunately for Viall, several of the women get very emotional and you can check out how a fun date turns stressful in the above video.
Raven got the group date rose.
Someone Had Sex With Nick Viall’s Friend?

Bachelor fans love a good sexual twist and Reality Steve reports that Jasmine Goode definitely provides us with one. We’ll just have to see if everything she says to Nick Viall is actually shown on TV. Reality Steve previously revealed that after the group date on tonight’s episode, Goode gets the boot. Reality Steve explained:
Jasmine was eliminated during after party, and at some point during Nick sending her home, she admits to sleeping with one of Nick’s friends in the past as sort of an “f-you” as she’s eliminated. I have no idea who it is she slept with, but I don’t believe it’s someone in Bachelor Nation. That’s a pretty grand exit if you ask me. Nice. “Oh yeah, by the way, I banged your boy. Peace out.”
We’d love to know who Goode supposedly “gave the business to.”
And the Eliminations Are …

We didn’t get to see a rose ceremony last week because of all the Taylor and Corinne drama, so we’ll have to get that out of the way towards the beginning of the episode. Taylor Nolan goes home for good and then the next round of girls to go home are reported by Reality Steve to be Jaimi King, Josephine Tutman, and Alexis Waters.
On tonight’s episode, three other girls are reported to get the boot as well. As stated above in the article, both girls on the two-on-one date end up being eliminated, as does contestant Jasmine Goode.
