AceShowbiz - A series of disastrous dates and breakups have taken its toll on Nick Viall. In the latest episode of "The Bachelor", the software sales executive got emotional after witnessing the women's antics and sending more girls home.
The January 6 outing opened with the continuation of Nick and Corinne's date, which was interrupted by Taylor. The latter came to tell Nick that Corinne's is a huge liar, but Nick didn't seem to care and send her home again.
Skipping the cocktail party, Nick gave the roses to Danielle L., Jasmine, Kristina, Raven, Vanessa and Whitney. Corinne, Danielle M. and Rachel already had roses, which meant Alexis, Jaimi and Josephine were sent packing.
The remaining women and Nick then headed to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Kristina got the one-on-one date. Nick took her on a seaplane to St. John, where they visited the Annaberg Ruins. Kristina opened up about her rough childhood in Russia, including being left starving and kicked out of the house by her mom when she was 5 years old. She was eventually adopted and taken to the U.S. to live with her new family.
Her story brought Nick to tears, but he's glad that she opened up to him. He called her a "strong woman" and gave her a rose.
Next was a group date with Corinne, Danielle M., Jasmine, Rachel, Raven and Vanessa. They met Nick on a catamaran, before they were taken to a remote beach. They played three-on-three beach volleyball, but it turned out disastrous as the girls were all exhausted. Nick realized it was "pretty much a disaster."
In the evening portion of the date, Nick tried to turn things around, but it didn't work. The girls complained about having to fight for one man's attention and Jasmine made it even worse as she told Nick that she felt overlooked by him. She said she liked him, but she could choke him (sexually) for his lack of expressed interest. This definitely turned Nick off and he immediately sent her home. Raven got the group date rose.
Danielle L. and Whitney were on a two-on-one date. They met Nick at a helicopter which whisked them away to a beach. Nick spent private time with each of them. He first talked with Danielle L. about their chemistry, which made him realize that he didn't see a future with Whitney. He immediately dumped Whitney and got back with Danielle L.
Normally, this would mean that Danielle L. secured her spot at least until the next episode, but when she said she's falling in love with Nick, he avoided eye contact. He realized that he didn't feel the same way and sent her home as well, calling it his "most heartbreaking goodbye."
Upon returning to the penthouse, Nick started crying in front of the remaining six girls because he was scared that his relationships with them might end in a similar fashion. "I don't know if I can keep doing this," he said, before leaving the girls.
