2017 Candidates: Who Went Home on the Bachelor?
Alexis Waters, 23, an aspiring dolphin trainer from Secaucus, NJ
This happy-go-lucky contestant loves people who are weird, because she says that she is weird. Alexis does strange things, like walking to CVS in a Sumo wrestling costume. She’s obsessed with dolphins and hopes that Nick and her are compatible so they can become dolphin trainers together.
“He needs to love dolphins, or this isn’t going to work out.”
The Internet had a field-day with pictures of her dressed as a shark for the premiere episode. In the episode this bachelorette insisted that she was wearing a dolphin costume. Nick had to break the news to her, and told her that she definitely was dressed as a shark.

Elizabeth (“Liz”) Sandoz, 29, doula, Las Vegas, NV
Liz Sandoz met Nick before at Jade and Tanner’s wedding. She was Jade’s maid of honor. She talked to Nick during the wedding reception and danced with him. They had some chemistry, apparently, because they had sex. At the end of the night, he asked for her phone number, but she turned him down. She just thought that he was being nice, but in retrospect, she wants to get to know him.
On the first night, she wasn’t sure if he’d remember her.
The second week, during a group date, Liz Sandoz acted out a break-up with Nick in which she revealed that she knew him before. She talked about the time they shared at the wedding and that she was “ending it”.
Nick broke up with her for real after her public fake “break up” confession. He was afraid that maybe she’d told some other women that they’d had sex. Liz had to Christen that they had been intimate. So, after a heart-to-heart conversation, during the group date, Nick wondered out loud if she’d just used their past intimacy to get on the show, and then he asked her to leave.
“Part of me wants to find a reason to want to keep Liz around, but the more I talk to Liz, the less she makes sense,” Nick said about is decision to send Liz Sandoz home. She was the only contestant who went home of The Bachelor in week 2.

“…if Nick is really attracted to someone like Corinne, that’s what upsets me.”
