I feel like this entire episode was just one long strip tease that never gets to the main event. Kind of like this Twitter recap while you’re waiting for Crick’s Dude’s Breakdown of last night’s episode. To make it worse, I’m on antibiotics for a nasty case of strep, so I couldn’t even have wine (my live-tweeting of the episode may suggest otherwise). From ghosts to voodoo to epic room service orders to a resurrection and possible murder, this was a very emotionally intelligent episode. Emotional intelligence was lightly touched upon. They barely talked about emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence.
If this is the clinically accepted definition, I am the Stephen Hawking of emotional intelligence.

Ain’t no party like a Corinne party cuz a Corinne party is fraught with whipped cream and lies.

This group date is as necessary to the plot line of this episode as the two sets of plastic forks my delivery guy brought me for my order for one.
I'm starting to realize I have something in common with Mae…we are both bored to death during this date. #TheBachelor

Noted paranormal rights activist, David Ruff, had this to say on the subject:
this group date set the paranormal back 20 years

Bachelor interns: “Nick, if you could just move under that chandelier real quick, the lighting makes you look very… not desperate…”
Mae and a production crew of 17, are you here with us this evening. #thebachelor

If this freeze frame is supposed to convince me that Nick isn’t a serial killer, it’s about as successful as his last two proposals have been.
Nick looked at that #beignet with more sincerity and romance than he has any of the women. #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/m9cNX1Skz0

Alternately titled, “TGDAG: The Origin of Girl”
Is this voodoo scene the beginning of Taylor's supervillain origin story? #TheBachelor

I’m not saying I housed a mint chocolate chip milkshake while watching this episode, but I’m not not saying that.
"Their relationship will be built on whipped cream and lies!" This also accurately describes my calorie tracker. #TheBachelor

Don’t they also say that animals can sense evil?
Bugs love emotional intelligence too! #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/u9CfNINz6E

The bottom line here is if you come at the queen, you best not miss.
