    Michael Yada / ABC

    THE BACHELOR - "Episode 2111 - The Women Tell All" - Tempers flare and there are plenty of fireworks, as 19 of the most memorable women this season are back to confront Nick and tell their side of the story. There were highs and lows during Nick's unforgettable season - and then there was Corinne, the most controversial bachelorette of the group. The very self-confident Corinne, who has been the woman viewers and the other bachelorettes have loved to hate, returns to have her chance to defend herself. Rachel, the recently announced new Bachelorette, shares some insight into how she plans to handle her search for love. Danielle L. and Kristina attempt to get some closure to their sudden and heart-wrenching break-ups. Then, take a sneak peak at the dramatic season finale and Nick's final two women, on "The Bachelor: The Women Tell All," MONDAY, MARCH 6 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network.

  • THE BACHELOR -"Episode 2108" - Corinne, Rachel, Raven and Vanessa...

    Bill Matlock / ABC

    THE BACHELOR -"Episode 2108" - Corinne, Rachel, Raven and Vanessa are left in Bimini, still shocked that Nick sent Kristina home before the rose ceremony. They wonder if they still will get a coveted hometown date from the unpredictable Bachelor. But with the stakes being so high, Nick will go on an emotionally charged journey to visit these final four women's hometowns. Raven meets him in Hoxie, Arkansas, and cute couple have some great, sexy fun, but Raven's father reveals some serious news. Then, it is on to Dallas where Rachel and Nick confront the challenges that might meet an interracial couple. Corinne is waiting in Miami where her father waits with some tough questions. Finally, Nick travels to Montreal to reunite with Vanessa. Although her special needs adult students give him a big thumbs up, things don't go quite so well with her big Italian family, especially after her father drops a bomb about Nick that has Vanessa questioning their relationship. Just as Nick gets ready to make the gut-wrenching decision to send one woman home, he gets a surprise visitor, who could change everything, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

Welcome to RedEye’s coverage of “The Bachelor,” arguably the most misogynistic show on television! The format is pretty simple: We each drafted seven or eight of the 30 competing women. Everyone gets one point for every woman who gets through each week.

As the Bachelor, Nick Viall is pretty polarizing. The 30 (ugh, why?) women selected to kiss him in helicopters seem pretty psyched about him, but Twitter hates him, your mother-in-law doesn’t trust him and even his little sister basically told him not to be himself. Sounds promising.

Team One – 5 points

Danielle M., Lauren, Danielle L., Rachel, Corinne, Dominique, Ida Marie

Aaaand we’re back! Straight out of the gate, four members of my team were featured, which I thought would be a good sign until I realized Corinne is fucking awful. Sure, you got the first kiss, but at what cost? Now she gets to be the villain for the foreseeable future. Great. Rachel got the first impression rose, which made me irrationally proud but also sad because she is SO too good for vile Viall. We lost two soldiers, but I can’t even mourn them because THEY DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. Farewell, Ida Marie and Lauren. I’m glad to have not known you.

Shelbie Lynn Bostedt

Team Two – 5 points

Kristina, Angela, Astrid, Susannah, Taylor, Christen, Alexis

Quick and dirty: Taylor seems great but got the record-scratch intro when she told Nick her friends thinks he’s a “piece of shit,” Kristina’s accent got progressively more Russian as the night went on, Astrid spoke some filthy German but Nick caught the word “sex” and Christen seemed like a creepy “Bachelor” superfan (with an actual fan). Upset of the century is that he sent home Angela the model, and I don’t even remember seeing Susannah.

But the real story here is Alexis. I wrote, “Really fucking loves dolphins” in my notes, and that was before she showed up dressed as a dolphin shark and said, “I dolphinately can’t wait to talk to you more.” She got a rose for making Nick smile, but that’s probably a producer pick, all things considered. “The shark thinks she’s a dolphin. That’s a concern.”

Lauren Chval

Team Three – 6 points

Whitney, Sarah, Briana, Lacey, Hailey, Michelle, Jaimi, Josephine

When the show’s producers decided to devote a little extra time to establishing Josephine as the cat lady who also talks to sea otters, I knew I was in for an interesting season. The extra screentime hinted that the overall last pick in RedEye’s draft was not going to be a one-and-done.

The streak of quirky-bordering-on-crazy continued as most of my team showed up in the weird-gimmick sequence of introductions: Sarah, the “runner-up” who literally ran up to Nick in her evening dress and sneakers; Lacey, the one on the camel because she heard Nick “likes a good hump”; Hailey, the one who wasn’t wearing underwear; and Jaimi, the one with the balls. They all made the cut, though! Even the less memorable but more normal Whitney got a rose, with only Briana and Michelle on my team going home empty-handed.

Elise De Los Santos

Team Four – 6 points

Liz, Raven, Vanessa, Brittany, Jasmine G., Elizabeth, Jasmine B., Olivia

I’m new to the world of “The Bachelor.” My reality TV experience consists of two hours of “The Bachelorette” and two hours of “Bachelor in Paradise.” I’m hooked and I feel all sorts of dirty about it. I picked my players this season based with absolutely no strategy, and overall I’m pretty pleased with my choices.

Raven is the worst, but I can see why Nick likes her; Brittany put on rubber gloves and asked Nick to bend over, and I don’t know why he gave her a rose; Jasmine G. had a crying meltdown; and Elizabeth got very little airtime, and I wasn’t even sure if she truly existed.

I lost two this episode (farewell, Olivia and Jasmine B.)—I don’t really recall either one getting much airtime anyway. Big meh.

But we need to talk about Liz, the doula. She’s already had sex with Nick. Oooh, plot twist. But shit, girl, this is shady as hell. You had sex with him, didn’t give him your number when he asked for it and then you showed up to compete for his love? What the … he doesn’t owe you anything, and I don’t understand why he gave you a rose! But whatever, I’ll take it.

I’m putting all my eggs in Vanessa’s basket. She’s insanely likable, and even Nick said she’s a “keeper.” But I have a feeling she’s going to have to watch out for Corrine all season.
