No surprise to me.  Nick likes tacky.

So do producers.

I agree ~ there's NO way that was Nick's call. The producers knew exactly what they were doing.

Also, didn't Farmer Chris give Kaitlyn the group date rose after she mooned everyone? It was the first point of contention between him and Britt, who questioned him about it and felt like his giving Kaitlyn the rose was validating that kind of behavior. This is nothing new for the franchise.

I'm not going to rush and absolve Nick by saying the producers made him give her the rose but instead, he may just not have seen it as a big deal. I can see Nick being mildly amused at Corinne's antics in the sense that he probably thinks she's hot but doesn't actually take her that seriously. So she's kept far enough because yeah, the season needs its over the top villain and he boots her right before the F3.

I think TPTB will spin it as Nick, who was "misunderstood" and somewhat of a villain on his two 'ette seasons, didn't rush to judgment on Corrine, and wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Based on last night's preview, I'm expecting a season that harps endlessly on Nick's "history" on the two 'ette seasons.

I'm not surprised at all that she got the GDR since that's the best way to ensure that Corinne goes far and to get the drama for the villain edit, IMO.  

More than that though, I still believe it was the producer plan for Corinne to go to F4 per spoilers so that the F3 would be even more viable as a next-lead candidate.

By having a villain at F4 it only will heighten the differences between Corinne and the F3 (and F2 possibly) as next lead contenders since I doubt Corinne is one of them.

That's smart producing, IMO (and I include Nick in that since he's no puppet to me, he's more of a producer himself. He knows how this show works, imo, and I say that as a positive since this is the show - have an F1 and get a next lead).

Has anyone figured out what business her family runs? With the way she was acting during the show, I hope it's porn-related, or she uses a different name and wears a disguise for their business.

It's a garage flooring type pavement. I read about it and will try to find the link. I believe it might be part of a nation-wide type franchise you buy. Like buying a Taco Bell.

She may be immature but I didn't see any meanness. I like her and hope gains something from the experience.

Ask and you shall receive! Thanks, Kasha!

She reminds me of Courtney Robertson in the sense that she knows exactly what she's doing. However, unlike Courtney (who I think actually did like Ben and was upset when he cheated -- I didn't read her book), I think she also knows that she can't win either. She's doing it to be on BIP, get a lot of interviews, and to be some type of online celebrity, etc.

I find her annoying, but I'm guessing Nick finds her amusing and likely keeps her around as long as he does through a combination of 1) the producers and 2) cutting "less interesting" girls that are developing feelings that he doesn't feel back. Whereas with Corinne, he probably feels he can cut her whenever he's actually feeling the rest of the contestants left and she'll be fine (even if she plays up drama for the cameras).

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] yes that was somewhat my opinion as well. I felt she was building her character, more than she was portraying herself. Very aware of herself though. It reminds me of when Samantha Steffan was on BIP, she said people didn't know who she was on Chris Soules season, but she was going to make herself known on BIP. I think some of the girls that come on this show feel a bad image is still better than no image.

I forgot where I read it, but one source said the cast she admires/likes the most(paraphrase) was Kaitlyn. I wonder why?
