Liz Sandoz was eliminated during a group date and Corinne Olympios went topless during her group date on The Bachelor episode that appeared on Monday, January 9, 2017 on ABC.
The women on The Bachelor went on two group dates. The first group date took the women to a themed bridal photo shoot. While most of the women were brides, a few were bridesmaids. The brides represented looks like the Shotgun Bride for Alexis Loch; the Princess Bride was represented by Taylor Noland; Brittany Frerrar was Eve for the Adam and Eve bridal shoot, and Corinne was the Beach Bride. Brittany’s costume consisted of a bikini bottom with leaves covering it and nothing else.
Most of the women commented on slim Brittany’s figure, and that made Corinne jealous. She wanted to get in on the act, so she removed her bikini top during the shoot for the beach bride photos to get Nick’s attention. The other women didn’t like her move, but Nick apparently did, because he gave Corinne the group rose.
In the second group date, the women accompanied Nick to the Museum of Broken Relations in Los Angeles. The group saw items that couples left to represent their split-ups, including Nick’s rose and the engagement ring he’d picked out just before he was rejected. They also watched a dramatic performance of a break-up. Then, it was time for the women to put on their own break-up performance with Nick, so each of them stood in front of the group, had an argument with Nick, and broke up with him.
Many of the break-ups were funny. They broke up with him for not washing the dishes and leaving his clothes around the house, for staying out too late, etc., but when Liz broke up with Nick, she relayed how she met him at a party, had a good time with him, and wanted to break up with him because he didn’t seem to be into her. Liz’s story was true, but the other women didn’t know that for sure. They had their suspicions, however.
Only Christen Whitney knew the truth, because Liz, feeling stressed out about the entire situation, told Christian everything, even down to the intermittent sex sessions they had throughout the night of Jade and Tanner’s wedding. After participating in Liz’s break-up dramatization during the group date, Nick couldn’t help but feel the tension and wondered out loud if Liz had told anyone about their wedding night romp.
So, during the evening of the group date, he tried to feel the women out during his conversations with them. Once he spoke with Christen (who promised Liz that she wouldn’t repeat what she was told) the woman sung like a bird and told Nick that she knew that he’d hooked up with Liz. Nick had a conversation with Liz and didn’t like her reasons as to why she didn’t try to contact him after they got together eight months before.
Liz blamed Bachelor in Paradise and said that she just thought that Nick didn’t want to pursue anything, although he had asked for her number and she didn’t give it to him. Nick eliminated Liz Sandoz right then, during their private conversation on the group date.
Nick had his one-on-one date with Danielle M. The two took a helicopter to a yacht, and later that night, they had dinner in the town of Balboa. Danielle revealed that her finacé was a drug user and she didn’t even know it until she found him dead.
