Bachelor recap: Outside face :) versus Inside face :/

Another glorious episode of the Bachelor, in which we travel to Seoul. Not sure why, but whatever. The first group date serves as back-up dancers for 21, a "K-Pop" group who is apparently big in shopping malls. Like South Korea's version of Tiffany. I had to fast-forward through JP dancing, as it was awkward and painful to watch. Sweet pediatric nurse Nikki has suddenly become Public Enemy #1, talking smack and being negative and annoyed that she's on a group date and can only do the Sprinkler when asked to dance. Not sure where this side of her came from, but clearly JP digs it because she gets the rose. Even in the face of Kat's impressive back-up dancer moves. Or at least, impressive in her mind.

Opera singer Sharleen gets the one-on-one date, and she's still waffling about if she even likes the guy or not. But he's a good kisser, she busts out some operatic tunes for him, and accepts the rose. Because they might be...wait for it...SEOUL MATES. Hey-oh.

The final group date is "crazy," involving Korean karaoke in a weird dollhouse, swan paddleboats, fish pedicures (eeks!) and trying octopus, which Clare played to her advantage (to the dismay of the rest of the group). The other girls find her territorial, which as Kelly the dog lover says, is only okay if you're a dog. Anyone else find her hilarious? Guess the dog didn't get to make the trip overseas, but I say KELLY THE DOG LOVER AS THE NEXT BACHELORETTE. Just throwing it out there. In the evening, JP all of a sudden decides he has kissed too many women on TV and won't be doing that anymore, to the dismay of Lauren, who asks for a beso and gets flat-out rejected. Harsh in any language. And then he does kiss Clare, who is starting to bug me with her comments: "do I have chocolate breath?" Oof. Andi walks away with the rose.

At the rose ceremony, Mean Nikki goes against the "rose pact" and steals JP away from Clare, even though she already has a rose. Daaaaamn, girl. Not gonna win you any fans at the mansion. JP asks about any tension between the girls, and she assumes Clare ratted her out. A mini-catfight ensues, with poor Dog Lover caught in the middle. (Nice mention of cats and dogs, no?)

Lauren and Elise get the boot, and we get a glimpse of Elise's neon green sequin miniskirt under her dress (?). Next week, it's dramz in Namz (Vietnam, that is)!
