Bachelor recap: Hell hath no fury like a Raven scorned. And Corinne literally can't even.

We're back to the Corinne show pool party bitchfest, and Nick fends off a handful of ladies complaining about Corinne. She would love the attention if she weren't napping. When confronted, Corinne says she is "not privileged in any way." And her nanny can back that up. At the rose ceremony, Brittany and Christen are left rose-less and sad ("I've been single for soooooo long!" #biteme), and the remaining ladies are "thrilled" to learn that they are off to beautiful...Milwaukee! (Nick's hometown, so not 100% random. Just 87%.)

The first one-on-one date is for Danielle (boobs, not Danielle nurse). They take in the small town life, sample cookies, run into ex girlfriends (?!) and make out in a park where Nick lost his virginity (?!?!?!). At dinner, Nick asks if she has any flaws, and she answers that her parents are divorced. Not sure that counts, but her boobs look nice so she gets the rose and a private concert by someone I've never heard of.

The group date heads to a dairy farm, so we can perpetuate all Wisconsin stereotypes. The girls feed baby calves, scoop poop and Nick attempts to milk a cow. It doesn't go well. And then the former lesbian Jaimi takes the teat wheel. She does a stellar job, and methinks I can skip over any obvious jokes here. Corinne is not amused and would rather be eating chicken tacos at a spa or having some sushi. (Someone get this girl some food!) Plus, she has a "serious medial emergency" and her fingers simply won't allow her to do any manual labor. Perhaps a case of Nannyitis?

That evening Kristina and Nick have some quality alone time, while Corinne decides to confront the other girls and asks them to talk about her to her face, not to her back. That's just polite, guys. Plus, Corinne is like an ear of corn. You have to peel back the layers to reveal the yellow, buttery nuggets. Alrighty. Sarah takes the bait and asks if Corinne is really ready to marry a 36-year-old man. After all, she takes naps, plays in bounce houses and has a nanny. Corinne says size bank account age doesn't matter, and besides - Michael Jordan took naps. Abraham Lincoln took naps. So there you have it. #alternativefacts  And yet another #alternativefact pops up when Kristina confronts Corinne for always running away - like when she slept through the rose ceremony. Corinne announces that she had a panic attack, duh. First we're hearing of this. Corinne storms off to report back to Nick. She's miffed that they don't kiss, and even more miffed when Kristina gets the group date rose.

Small-town Raven has the last one-one-one date, and it might be the biggest one - she attends Nick's little sister Bella's soccer game and meets the parents. And then goes roller skating and hangs out with Bella. Quite the 1980s dream date. At dinner she reveals her dark side, going absolutely nuts on her ex when she walked in on him cheating on her. And boy was he cheating - she tells Nick she knows what this woman's vagina looks like. Wow. Nick isn't sure whether to be terrified or turned on, and gives her the rose just to be safe.

It's pre-rose ceremony time again, but Taylor is annoyed that Corinne is still here. And even more annoyed that Danielle - who already has a rose - steals Nick away first. Plus, Taylor has "zero fucks left to give." So she interrupts and gets in some good makeout time. Phew. While stuffing her face (thank god someone finally fed her), Corinne decides she's not having it with Taylor anymore. She is not immature (which she proves by jiggling her boobs), and she just can't even. She LITERALLY can't even. She grabs Taylor and they head to a seemingly romantic loveseat by the firepit. But there's no love lost here. Taylor begins her astute counselor analysis of Corinne and her lack of emotional intelligence. Corinne knows she's being talked down to, even if she doesn't understand how, and fights back, saying "I'm not an idiot!" "I run a multi-million dollar company!" Here we go again...
