Isn't it just two 2 on 1 dates?

but RS spoiled only Corinne returned from a 2-1.

Hmm Nick gets a slap in the promo? Is that them acting out or a real scene - I do think Nick can be a bit self-absorbed and not exactly make the best decisions to consider other ppl sometimes - bracing myself for that...inevitably we are disappointed by then lead more than when they were a contestant in most of these shows...with nick we were already know he/his candor can rub ppl the wrong way so I'm getting ready for anything

^^I've gathered that the slap was part of a group date thing, all done in good fun. Scmiiw

yes, emusha. IA. Nick is not perfect. The spoilers are already suggesting his past is going to come back to slap him in the face.... The lead always looks bad on some level... they lead contestants toward a finish line that only one will cross... and it's painful for the rejected. There's no "good" way to circumvent the premise of the show.

I think the slap appears to be part of the "break up with Nick group date." In the SM thread (no discussion) on I believe page 4, there is a Fleiss generated picture "behind the scenes" of Nick sitting waiting to film what is believed to be a group date #2 of episode 2 on 9/28/16 (his birthday). He has what I believe is the same shirt in that pic as the "slap pic" plus green trees/leaves/shrub seems to match as well in the slap promo and Fleiss picture.

Agree.  Just a silly GD activity wonder if she got the rose?

So far we have Liz (GD epi 2) and 3 on 2-1 dates (Whitney, Danielle L, Taylor) = 4

In his podcast, he said these were the 4 that he knows of! He said it's possible that more left before RCs, as he is fuzzy on some of the eliminations up until NOLA, I believe.

Maybe he appreciated her boldness in wanting to get his attention .

It's a fake slap. Like everything drama wise on this WWE wannabe set up.

oh great glad things don't get THAT bad that someone has to slap him

....nonetheless while I always appreciate how authentic nick is....he doesn't always come across in the way he intends and his candor can rub people the wrong way so I'm kind of ready for anything with him/his season. I am also curious to see how he engages the women and how considerate he is of them. I do think he can get very much in his head and get self-absorbed (we are all flawed as is he...an attribute that helps him be selfaware more than some other past bachelors) so we shall see how his season plays out!
