I heard on one of the podcasts--Olivia C from Ben's season I think, that confirms AL's filming sequence that the episodes go group date, 1:1, group date.

After an emotionally exhausting week, the remaining 18 ladies are ready for some remarkable dates. To kick off the week, they are floored when The Backstreet Boys visit the mansion, date card in hand. However, only seven women will head off to meet Nick for this fantastic date. A long day of rehearsing their dance moves with Nick and the chart-busting boy band leads to the bachelorettes taking the stage as back-up dancers in front of hundreds of screaming fans. When one bachelorette is selected to be serenaded on stage with Nick, the others can only look on, green with envy – especially when the couple shares a passionate kiss. At the after party, one desperate woman vows to make up for lost time with Nick, but her behavior and her secret make the other bachelorettes wonder if Nick would even be compatible with her.

Nick and one stunning woman take their relationship to new heights as they board a Zero G plane. Unfortunately, the bachelorette’s stomach is doing flip-flops – and not the romantic kind. How will this challenging date affect the couple’s future?

The Bachelor enlists three of the country’s top track and field Olympians – Carl Lewis, a ten-time Olympic gold medalist; Michelle Carter, the “shot diva,” who won Olympic gold in the shot put in Rio; and Allyson Felix, the most decorated U.S. woman in Olympic track and field history – to help train seven women in the events that make up the “Nickathalon.” Only one woman will win, and when one aggressive beauty emerges victorious, she gets coveted alone time with Nick in a hot tub. However, one insecure bachelorette confronts Nick about their slowly developing connection. What is Nick’s surprising solution?

Nick switches the cocktail party for a more laid-back swim party, but the drama is not far behind. His publicly amorous ways have the women up in arms and questioning his relationship with one particular woman and he is forced to go toe-to-toe with another bachelorette.

Anyone guess who the insecure bachelorette is?  Rachel gets the 'hot tub' time with Nick.  I'm still trying to figure out when Corrine is laying on top of him in front of the other ladies.

So Nick singing to Cher would have happened just after his 1:1 date with Vanessa. And then Corrine is on top of him in the bouncy house at the pool party and Vanessa confronts him after their date?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

So we're back to thinking the pool party happens later in the episode and after his 1 on 1 with Vanessa? Like I've said, I will wait to see the episode to fully judge but the women have every right to call Nick out if he's behaving sexually over the top with Corinne. The thing is, it's clear he doesn't act like that all the time. He and Dani M. were in a hot tub and he had his hand around his knee for crying out loud and their kiss was almost chaste, same with his kiss when he gave Rachel the FIR.

It's clear he's reacting to whatever approach the specific woman takes. So Corinne is over the top sexually aggressive and he just goes along with it. Except all of it seems to be happening right in front of the women and that's just not right and plain disrespectful. Bad enough to do it, but to do it openly in their faces is rude and Nick damn well knows better as someone who has been on the other side twice. Not to mention that Corinne seems wasted during most of these times which just makes the whole thing that much tackier and icky.
