Here are the 10 Worst Things That Happened on The Bachelor: Episode 8

10. “Nick is a great match for me,” says Corinne for the 100^th time without ever once saying she is a good match for him. Relationships work both ways!

9. NICK IS NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND, HE IS DATING FOUR WOMEN, STOP CALLING HIM YOUR BOYFRIEND. The worst of these was a poor unsuspecting pastor saying Rachel brought her boyfriend to church. You know when he finds out what was really going on, he’s going to be pissed.

8. Andi, girl, how much money did they pay you to do this? Ain’t no chance in hell she wants Nick back. This is just some dumb filler conversation where they make up and like each other fine at the end. Stop. Wasting. My. Time. ABC.

7. I thought Nick and Rachel both handled race quite well in this episode, as did Rachel’s mother. But her sister really pissed me off when she said that Nick said he doesn’t see color. He didn’t say that! He said the opposite! He said, I know she’s black. THAT’S THE OPPOSITE OF SAYING YOU’RE COLOR BLIND. He said that is a clear part of their relationship but not something that holds him back from caring about her for who she is. That’s the best thing to say!

6. So, okay, I get Corinne having someone like Raquel in her life (though maybe it’s time for her to move out). Raquel is lovely and perfect! But they really played up the, “she may be a part of the family but she is definitely our server” aspect with her serving dinner and then her picking up dinner while the rest of the family watched Corinne from the window. Corinne loves Raquel! But homegirl is hella spoiled.

5. When the families push so hard to be protective like Vanessa’s family did, it always just really upsets their daughter/sister, not makes her feel any better. I get people being protective—that’s family! But making her cry four times in a row isn’t exactly the answer? Take a cue from some of the other parents and trust your daughter’s judgment.

4. Parents, don’t raise your daughter to be happy in relationships only when their husband makes enough money to spend $3400 on one outfit. If that’s what Corinne needs, it’s fair for her to know that. But don’t force that on her. Money solves nothing! (Yes, money solves poverty which makes everything hard, but I mean like rich people money.)

3. Vanessa does not understand how this show works, getting all huffy when she finds out Nick asked the other parents for their blessings. HE CAN’T PICK SOMEONE NOW THAT WOULD RUIN THE SHOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING.

2. This breadwinner talk with Corinne’s dad was so gross. Corinne is totally fine if she has to be the breadwinner, guys. Duh, of course she should be. Nick, meanwhile, wants to be the breadwinner. Honestly, who cares. Breadwinner is a disgusting phrase, first of all. Second of all, if someone’s making money, then you can do what you love, even if it doesn’t make money. What is bad about this? People are the worst.

1. I’ve about HAD IT with these cliffhanger endings. The whole show is a freaking cliffhanger, you don’t need to ruin the one sense of structure we have! HOW DARE YOU, ABC? HOW DARE YOU.

Here are the 5 Best Things That Nick Did on The Bachelor: Episode 8

5. I found Nick to be quite good with all of the families except for Vanessa’s, but I really think that was probably their fault? If you’re scared shitless, you aren’t as endearing. He was my favorite with Raven’s though. I cried.

4. Nick handing out roses in the hotel room was quite sweet. Roses are mutual! Thank you for bringing back our comfort blanket of roses!

3. Nick saying “I’m not from mars” at the food at Rachel’s house was truly amazing. Good boy.

2. Nick saying “I’m not colorblind” is a huge step forward in the dialogue of this show. Amazing!

1. Nick shopping with Corinne was truly amazing. “I’m trying on sweatpants that are $800. Don’t worry, the sweatshirt is only $650!”
